@PamphletsY Most of us were taught that communism is the ML state model, so it’s totally natural to think rejecting it leaves you with nothing to offer. But there is more. instead of just changing who runs the state bureaucracy, we want the workers to immediately abolish wage labor 1/2
@PamphletsY you are presented with a critique of wage labor, capital accumulation, and nationalism, and your only response is 'loser talk' tell me do you want a proletarian revolution or do you just want red painted state bureaucracy?
@Tono_FCB@PamphletsY Marx demanded the "ruthless criticism of all that exists" not blind faith in leaders. If you want a serious communist critique of ML and state capitalism, read Bordiga’s "Dialogue with Stalin" and "The Economic and Social Structure of Russia Today"
@PamphletsY you out of all people should understand that europeans refuse to have children due to their material conditions. For a Marxist-Leninist you analyze demography like a bourgeois idealist. Capitalist production relations make reproducing labor-power impossible for workers
@Alyashevik a cultural revolution without destroying wage labor is just idealist nonsense. Historical materialism tells us that the economic base shapes social consciousness.
@hazeyzae@skoolipad because Marxism-Leninism is a state-capitalist ideology counter-revolutionary to the core. Real communism requires the abolition of wage labor, commodity production, and the value form, not replacing private bosses with state bureaucrats
@PamphletsY one state capitalist manager praises another state capitalist manager. Mao substituted the proletarian revolution for a bourgeois nationalist one, and Xi manages a massive capitalist empire with stock markets and wage labor. None of this has anything to do with communism
@BakeK82@claudemonium@Anarcgambiteiro Imagine telling a Left Communist they love state bureaucracy. The USSR was state capitalist, and the current Western bureaucracy is state capitalist. They both exist to manage the anarchy of the market and exploit workers. read theory
