When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

quote:

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin said that Communism is “very similar” to Christianity while comparing Lenin’s mausoleum to saints’ relics, as part of televised remarks aired in Russia over the weekend.

Russia’s Communist Party welcomed Putin’s remarks as “reasonably smoothing out the controversies surrounding Lenin’s tomb,” ... “Communists and all other patriotic leftists know that communism is as close to Christianity as Christianity is far from those forms of capitalism that are in our country and economy today.”

it's a compromise. he gets to keep lenin's body in place, sparing him protests by the communists, but he gets to cast communism as an inferior form of christianity to placate the orthodox.

we don't deign to approach this essay by approaching lenin as a world-conquering genius and theoretical mastermind -- a hero who stood atop the world with his enormously muscular legs, peering down with fiery eyes above a devilishly handsome beard. no, to understand the relevance of lenin, that icon of radical spontaneity and scientific correctness leading to creativity based in boundless optimism, we must ground lenin on a more humble note: that of a simple organizer, like all of us.

*cue 7,000 words, more than many lenin essays*

I haven’t read much from it since i originally figured it was kind of Jacobin 2. I was going to start reading it more after I saw a good thread from Asad Haider, one of the founding editors, basically castigating social democrats and bluntly stating his preference for MLs, particularly as far as white organizers go.



He uses or used TweetDelete so this is the only trace I can find. I’m on mobile but you’re welcome to try to find this thread in archives somewhere.

No duh? America never had to fight on her own soil, so it's kind of obvious that they'd have a lot more industry and manpower left-over, but to credit them with "won the bloodiest existential war of all time" is a huge stretch considering that not only did they come in at the tail-end of the conflict to clean-up after the Soviets had already done the brunt of the fighting, it wasn't even existential for them in the least.

Also you can tell how seriously to take an ostensible Marxist by how much they talk about dead and buried Russian bullshit because the Bolsheviks were wrong, they hosed it up, and they have nothing to teach us at this point.
