China will not save us. The global proletariat must rise up.

NOWHERE did I say I oppose China. I just thought this was an interesting video. Watch the fucking thing before hating and yelling about ultras.

    Also, from my viewpoint, the Communist Party of Peru is an example of revisionism in action after Gonzalo took over.

    IMHO, Maoism is revisionist and I think that’s the angle you’re attacking me from. I could be wrong and you can scuttle your actual angle or position or politics all you like. I’d prefer you state what type of ML or Marxist you are rather and say it proudly rather than try to muddy the waters. Even saying “anti-revisionist ML” would be better at this point.

    But making an an hominem is silly and a trite tactic, much less trying to divert the discussion.

      Labels are silly. Call me a decolonial Marxist. I am generally pro-China, but am currently delving into other theory to form an all sided view. The point of the quotation is that CPUSA legalist nonsense is revisionist.

        “Labels are silly.”

        No, “revisionist” is a completely acceptable term; it’s just overused by a lot of Maoists nowadays.

        “decolonial Marxist”

        The communist movement is largely decolonial unless you’re some silly PatSoc.

        No, I think you’re just being inflammatory by bringing up my politics in a convo that has nothing to do with the CPUSA.

          Remember those times CPUSA kicked out people who support national liberation and condemned Hamas?

            We have never kicked out people that have supported the national liberation of Palestine.

            As for Hamas, consider the inside-outside group-talk communication strategy that some leftist groups use. I’m not saying I agree with it, but again, this has nothing to do with the main topic of the OP.

              Yes this has strayed, but expelling people who support black national liberation is certainly dogmatic and patsoc esque.

                Yes, I know the story and allegation, and I know the other side of the story as well, the one that denies that that happened.

                I am for Black liberation, including Black national liberation. So I’ll just end it there.

                But really, this is not about CPUSA, as flawed as it may be so let’s move on. I’m not here to even attack you.
