i wanted to see what other dumb things they say and i saw

https://www.cpgb-ml.org/2019/05/04/news/yellow-vests-v-extinction-rebellion/

it made me so mad i wrote a letter to the editor

a dumb crybaby reformist posted:

Dear sir or madam,

I read your article comparing the yellow vest movement and Extinction Rebellion.

I think you've overlooked some considerations by merely dismissing the class composition of the protesters. Anyone can act in the interests of the overwhelming majority, and one can even further the goals of international proletarianism while working with enemies of the working class - the co-operation between the Soviet Union and the Western Allies to defeat European Fascism is proof of this. If comrade Stalin had refused to accept locomotives from America or fighter planes from Britain out of a desire to remain pure from the influence of liberals and capitalism, the genocide campaign of Hitler would have dragged on for months or years. As it happens, comrade Stalin correctly placed the needs of the masses over any petty desires to keep Party hands clean of compromise.

The disaster approaching us is an even greater threat to the working class than Hitler's war of extermination against socialism. The compromises to defeat it might therefore be even greater.

The communist movement within Britain is not on the cusp of seizing power. Britain is not in a revolutionary situation. Our organisational aspirations must therefore be aimed at raising consciousness such as by educating politically active movements like Extinction Rebellion. But the correct lessons must be applied, and attacking a movement for superfluous mistakes or necessary compromises may hinder the education of the movement by teaching them not to trust the most class conscious proletarians.

You correctly point out that policies to restrain the damage of climate change may primarily affect the working class of Britain, rather than the bourgeoisie, who are better able to pay for increased fuel costs. That is unfortunate, but climate change will kill millions of people from thirst and famine, and displace tens of millions more. Those deaths and displacements will fall primarily on the working classes of the global periphery - people even less able to cope with the changes than the working class of Britain. Furthermore, the refugee crisis will eclipse the one we saw following America and Britain's destabilisation of the Middle East. The working classes of Europe will be persuaded by the right-wing governments and press that the millions of sick and starving proletarians fleeing climate change necessitate even harsher measures against domestic dissent - that means us, comrade. Therefore in the interests of allowing the working class of Britain to continue to be organised and led by the most class conscious proletarians without being suppressed akin to the KPD under Hitler, we must address the crisis head on without appealing to excuses. The reasons we were unable to prevent the breakdown of the world-system won't matter because the communist movement will be just as defeated.

Likewise waiting for a revolutionary situation to emerge may mean merely waiting to die. We need to take active measures to preserve industrial society and therefore the scientific advances of the last three hundred years. The bourgeoisie gain and maintain their membership in their class by ruthless self-interest. They will always wait for others to make sacrifices and then reap the benefits.

It may therefore be in the best interests of the international movement of communists that Britain's working class "take a haircut", if doing so will save tens of millions of lives and livelihoods in a few decades time.

Lal salaam!

cpgb-ml is an offshoot of the original cpgb and claims to be that party's official successor. which cpb also does. it's a shitshow

the really frustrating thing is it's obvious they're trying to build common cause with fascists, making them the only actual red-brown force and giving credence to those insane anarchists
