i always just call myself "a Marxist", because the only concepts and critiques I have a full grasp of + faith in as correct are the groundworks Marx laid down in his critique of capital and other economic philosophies. my other favorite left thinkers are Sankara, Rousseau, Fanon, Angela Davis, Lenin, Mao, etc.

i admire many things about Lenin's revolution and Mao's revolution and think there's tons of great things to learn from both, but I'd never really call myself a Leninist or a Maoist

my biggest concerns are stopping imperialism, white supremacy/anti racism, decolonization, prison abolition, the abolition of private property, wage labor, dismantling patriarchy, the gender binary, nationalism, etc, and obviously at this juncture, addressing climate change in a sane but effective manner that preserves our species and as many other species as possible

big broad concepts that help build strong wide platforms for people to engage in direct action on and come together to share their common struggles while viciously stomping out any spooky liberal ideology and especially reactionary rhetoric, give material aide to each other, and be ready for what comes next

solidarity, solidarity, solidarity mother fuckers
