Without meaning to detract from that excellent effortpost, I'll mention that we used to have a tradcath poster (his name escapes me at the moment) in D&D who lasted long enough to be banned in early LF. He referred to all the popes after Vatican II as "nopes," proudly owned up to being book-burner, and was a Waffen-SS reenactor.

Oh, and he also argued that witchtrials were good and necessary things because witchcraft is an actual thing that endangers souls. As far as I can tell he was being wholly sincere in all of this.
I think I remember that guy, it wasn’t the witch trials that he supported but the inquisition, which he considered not necessarily a bad idea

But enough about them, any dirt on maoism-thirdworldism instead? Pretty sure that I've never seen anyone honestly professing this ideology outside of lf, and even there I never was sure just how sincere they really were

it's a real ideology, but its important to point out that anyone in a first world country who subscribes to the idea that all first worlders are at a minimum petty bougioise compared to the third world, and therefore cannot be radicalized or used as a revolutionary cadre is not only blind but projecting their own inability to give up their privileges onto everyone else. I loving HATE self identified MTWs as a poor rear end american lol. They make me so mad, so loving furious; like many lifestylists they had a privileged childhood and assume that everyone else did.


But anyway the point I'm trying to make is that its real, a way to put it would be third world socialists creating an international movement but ignoring outreach with first world organizations as an unproductive waste of time; almost anyone you see talking about it online is instead a life stylist living in the west. I think plutonis is the closest this forum has to a real MTW lol

I pity the amerikkkan petty bourgeoisie of SA who think they can be re-proletarianized rather than that socialism can only come to amerikkka through white genocide.

Oh boy, time to post about my favorite meme ideology: Posadism.

Posadism is the belief that nuclear war is good, because it will somehow trigger the worker's revolution, and they will, somehow, win socialism in a post-apocalyptic radioactive hellworld.
Also, they believe in communist aliens which is pretty cool.

Heard of this meme ideology called "socialism" recently.

Get this, they think tools and land should be owned by the people who use them to produce value instead of a cadre of their natural superiors.

Many of them even think the children of our perfect elites are spoiled brats without value instead of genetic inheritors of all their talents and worth.

Just the dumbest

it's still kind of a joke but it's not quite as much of a joke as you're making out. the idea is that socialists have to do total war to stop capitalism basically. the thing about communist aliens is the idea that since communism is the natural next step after capitalism, the only spacefaring civilizations should be communists too. mix that with the idea that a nuclear apocalypse might be detectable outside our solar system and you reach the conclusion that maybe nuking the capitalist nations would be more than just murdering a bunch of workers along with the handful of capitalists

The idea is basically that capital has an insurmountable material advantage and that the only way for communism to happen is if a nuclear war eradicates the accumulated capital.

The aliens didn't appear till later, I think because Juan posadas had been through a few rounds of torture by one dictator or another by that point.

That's really the bulk of it... his main distinguishing theories are around 'Permanent Revolution' and the idea of 'Uneven and Combined Development' to contextualize geopolitical events. Trots essentially promote the idea that Trotsky would have done things differently, and that he was the true heir to Lenin... so Stalin basically ruined Marxism.

Literally every time I hear about Trotskyists it's either a bunch of people who are completely insane or they're a bunch of weird sex creeps. Just a few months ago one of the largest Trot orgs in the US disintegrated because it turned out the leadership was covering up harassment and sexual abuse by high ranking members.

Like I can get in theory there may be something worthwhile in Trotskyist thought, but drat would I be embarrassed to call myself a Trotskyist right now.
