Our government's response to this pandemic has placed our lives at stake. Our government's response to handling the economy has placed our livelihoods at risk.

Therefore, the government as it currently stands is illegitimate.

Does this Maoist schism involve podcast d&d too? Like how somebody must always rap on All Gas No Breaks I feel like podcast d&d should always be a factor in Maoist schisms.

If Maoists are correct to insist that imperialism itself is a paper tiger, then these views must also extend to COVID-19.

:shuckyes: The original version of the Proletarian History of the Greensborough Massacre utilized subjectivism, using the martyrdom of those slain as an excuse to avoid their political line, by referring to the slain as both Communists and revolutionaries without observing the fact that the Communist Workers Party were supporters of the arch-revisionist Deng Xiaoping.

This is why democratic centralism is total poo poo. Having a party culture that sees dissent (or even scepticism) as treason means the party will inevitably split.

i think the problem is that demcent for them is about unity of opinion including obscure historical wank and not unity of action. it's very weird and i think a post-70s maoist thing

like you see how loving harebrained that is, like how it's really important that the people you organize with agree with your analysis of some maoists who were massacred by the KKK in the 70s, as if that is a practical or relevant question to discuss at all beyond the fact that the KKK doesn't care what you think of deng xiaoping and will try to kill you

Talk shit, get bzzzt.

Leftists have strong moral ideals almost as a prerequisite, which means we constantly fight with one another over things that are a) unsolvable and b) unimportant day to day. Which is in contrast to libs and conservatives; libs have no ideals and therefore are great at using power to do nothing, and conservatives all have the same moral: FYGM to everyone on everything.


The obvious solution is a leftist hivemind, but we'll never work together effectively enough to get it off the ground.

I see it as having more to do with the Overton window. Since leftism is outside the acceptable discourse you already have to have some level of stubbornness, pickiness and independence to get into it but those qualities also keep you from being able to easily/automatically agree with other leftists. Far-right people actually have the same problem where there's a ton of infighting because they're also outside the mainstream

Yeah and more on that line of thought: since this kind of leftism is well outside the mainstream, it has little practical political power, so it attracts people who actually aren't acutely worried about changing things (regardless of what they say) compared to how worried they are about who seems to be right/wrong on issues, completely regardless of how much those issues have to do with real and potential practical success. And the misfits are also outsizedly worried about finding a place where they socially fit in and that gives them a sense of personal social fulfillment.

i assume it'd be something like mutual aid at a local level, but that only goes so far as to help support vulnerable people during a pandemic, it wouldn't do anything to stop people from spreading the virus and killing people.
