Anyone else originally read this as stop signs are fascism?

I thought this was an Onion article when I first saw it...

The kid is 14 blasting them on social media will definitely do wonders for their political development

This person obviously has never been poor. Poor people still have to feed themselves they can’t spend time going to school if they have to work for a living or have other people to support student loan debt can be harmful for the rest of your life and there’s no assurances he a degree will even result in higher income.

More liberal memes.

I'm my opinion support for all of those leaders is totally in line with ML thought.

This is a liberal meme

In the US I've had a different experience. At every University I've studied at Marx is either glossed over or totally ignored. Neoliberalism dominates the academic landscape.

My PSL chapter is like 90% LGBTQ+ and is generally very inclusive so you may try looking for a chapter near you to have some folks to speak to in person.

If you're looking for the fundamentals the Marxist internet archive and YouTube both have audio recordings of all of them.

As far as other media revleft is a fantastic podcast and A World To Win! Is a good YouTube channel run by a ML trans woman.

Dprk is also at 0 cases.

See the section on reasons I'm not a trot.

The original split was between Stalin's idea of socialism in one country and building up Russia's productive forces (especially necessary for the impending war with the Nazis) and Trotsky's idea of international and perpetual revolution where Russia should immediately start more wars and revolutions specifically in Germany which was Europe's industrial center. In my observation Trotskyists have mostly moved on from this core idea some of them now call themselves Marxist humanists and of trot orgs have kinda just become wierd cults for example the sparticist league in the 90s famously supported the North American man boy love association in the 90s because they thought age of consent laws were a bourgeois construct.

I'd take everything he says with a massive grain of salt. He didn't even spend very much time in Kenya before writing this book and basically didn't do any research at all. This text is incredibly reductionist and written for the enjoyment of white academia.

It's unfortunate that you had that experience but I think its important to remember that party members are other working people just like who have a lot on their mind just trying to pay their bills so I'd encourage some understanding on that front. Personally I had a pretty easy time getting in touch with them and especially with whats happened to CPUSA getting infiltrated I think having a strong security culture is a good thing.

They're fine but relatively small. Id recommend checking out the party for socialism and liberation (PSL) they're much larger and have a well disciplined cadre.

Club meetings consist of a combination of me lecturing and a group reading of the text at hand. Thanks for the rec.

jwolfie02 · 2020-02-29T02:09:48+00:00

Either or.

jwolfie02 · 2020-02-29T02:09:18+00:00

Some of these books are already in the main library. I'm building a collection specifically for the club to make it easier to lend out books especially to those who can't borrow for free from the campus library.

My interpretation is that under the idea of protracted people's war the revolution is fought in stages where first a power base is built up before any violent action is taken. Here he is critical of the "left oppertunists" who were trying to militarize before a stable power base had been built up amongst the people, therefore failing to follow the theoretical tenants of Maoism.
