Pablo Nergigante posted:I'm getting the following: you should go for progress publishers if you want any text from a soviet figure. that was the ussr's official foreign language press. or international publishers, the press of the cpusa. similarly if you ever want stuff from china foreign languages press is the way to go.

THS posted:current affairs is getting some weird money from somewhere. not necessarily nefarious, there are a few low profile class traitors that are extremely rare but exist - i knew a marxist who got completely disillusioned in the 70s, used marxist economic theory to made fuckloads of money in stocks, then came back to leftism. hell, daddy engels was a rich baby too i think nathan just has rich parents

Finicums Wake posted:the black socialists of america are putting together a 'dual power map' to plot "every single Worker Cooperative, Small Business Development Center, Community Land Trust, and Dual Power Project within the United States that you can support right now." this is the first potentially constructive thing they've done so i look forward to it getting fouled up in spectacular fashion

being positive about china doesn't mean china is the "best" example of socialism, whatever the gently caress that means. closest to that would be cuba if you HAVE to rank them, which is a stupid activity in the first place.

Stalin's Blue Pencilquote:Editing a biologist's speech for an international conference in 1948, Stalin used an array of colored pencils—red, green, blue—to strip the talk of references to "Soviet" science and "bourgeois" philosophy. He also crossed out an entire page on how science is "class-oriented by its very nature" and wrote in the margin "Ha-ha-ha!!! And what about mathematics? And what about Darwinism?"

Hilario Baldness posted:Just finished reading Walter Rodney's posthumously published 'The Russian Revolution: A View from the Third World.' When Verso had a 90% off sale on ebooks I got that and 'How Europe Underdeveloped Africa' since the latter appeared on the reading list from McCaine. It should definitely be added to the master list, it's extremely good. they're both very good and verso needs to be publishing more like them instead of crypto-trot bullshit

The most bizarre part is how the guy is trying to defend places like North Korea and Venezuela for not 'fulfilling a utopian wetdream of what socialism is supposed to look like' or something. And I'm just thinking "Dude, Norway and Sweden are far closer to socialism than Venezuela and North korea; in fact Venezuela and North Korea actively harm the cause by saying they are socialist but then enabling all the worst fears of its critics through their many despicable actions while tankies eagerly embrace them and trumpet their 'socialism' to the world."

If you do a deep dive into exactly how the opposition in Venezuela lost all power, you pretty much lose all sympathy for Maduros government. I was a regular in the D&D Venezuela thread over the years that it happened,

well the people who push these statements are being selective. aside from the cpp there are other communists who think differently. obviously in china there's the cpc but the cpi and cpi-m both defend china as socialist. maoists focus on these parties and pretend no other communist voices exist also that cpi (maoist) document has a lot of straight up false allegations in it. kind of funny that maoists rely on it as some kind of killshot

pyf thread continues to deliverAramek posted:All these people are doing is making colonization sound awesome. If anything it's like you being on top of the leaderboards because you won. also someone posted this insane screed which is the political version of the notebook from seven Nutso poo poo posted:The PSL was recently involved in sponsoring an initiative called the People’s Congress of Resistance [archive], and the Workers World Party and one of its front groups have been involved in a No Platform for Fascism [archive] initiative together with local Anarchists and socialists from New York City, ostensibly to oppose the rise of fascism in the United States. However of what value is such an initiative to the anti-fascist struggle when the leaders of the PSL and the WWP have been working with open fascists for years and the online activity of their rank and file membership suggests these parties are acting as incubators for fascism and future Strasserists, LaRouchites and National Bolsheviks? What contribution can the participation of the genocide denying, crypto-fascist and confusionnist WWP and the PSL and their satellites in the anti-fascist struggle be when they work with “former” CIA members, collaborate with groups creating international fascist networks and their prominent members sit together with Infowars contributors, Third Positionists, National Bolsheviks, LaRouchites and associates of Holocaust deniers on the steering committees of solidarity movements which support primarily fascist causes?

ToxicSlurpee posted:For a lot of people their motivation is not love of the poor but hatred of the wealthy. Sometimes it's just raw envy; it's totally possible to do pretty well for yourself doing productive things but you get people that are furious at anybody that makes more than a certain number of dollars a year. I've seen that number as low as $30,000. punk rebel ecks posted:The thing the bewilders me is how tankies continue to believe in an economic and political system that has continuously failed. Pharohman777 posted:From my experience in the D&D Venezuela thread, right below that is the tendency to say that any negative reporting on a subject that a tankie doesn't like is means that the news outlet is 'reporting US state department propaganda'. Pharohman777 posted:It feels like they assume that the US government has absolute ironclad control over news media and businesses like china does. punk rebel ecks posted:There is a spectrum of how effective something is. Liberal "democratic" capitalism is hardly the ideal system or the end game, but it is superior to Marxist Lenninism which struggles to provide a similar quality of life in both income and social justice, as well as having a terrible track record for freedom.
