This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

I join a new org, and now I'm realising they see China as imperialist. Festering in my liberalism by not bringing this up to them. Is this a big enough thing to consider not organizing with this group? Its hard for me to do a proper analysis of the org due to disability issues so I am asking for input.

Its a dealbreaker for me, but try poking around other members to see where they're at, maybe there is someone salvageable.

At this conjuction of time, any org that sees China as imperialist is a joke and has to be considered reactionary.

Yeah thats a red flag... and not the good kind. Write a speech denouncing them for falling into idealism and imperialist propaganda.

I disagree with this approach.

It is best to just exit.

Leftist groups, at least certain ones, can act very cultish and they may gossip and badmouth you to others to other activist organizations in the area, for example. Also, there are other forms of reprisal.

Honestly, as someone that has dealt with this stuff not too long ago, I would just bow out and not make it into an event if you can.

Tagging @ConfusedPuppy@lemmygrad.ml so they see.

Depends. I'd think like this:

  • Is it a big party, with some marxist and some soc-dems etc.? Try to find like-minded comrades and use it as a way to agitate for and educate about marxist politics (if that is possible within the structure)
  • Is it a small cadre party? If so you might want to skip out
  • Is it a specific issue group? See if you can work in a positive way about the specific issue and discuss the topic amicably if it shows up. BUT this depens a lot on the situation!

If you are unsure, discuss with a comrade you know, write a journal, and go with your gut feeling, and don't attach yourself too much to something you are skeptical of.

Not OP but I wanted to ask a question. How could a journal help?

[–] Ember_NE@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I need to write things down to get stuff out of my head and make decisions. Some others feel the same. But ultimately it's not about the journal as such, but about finding out how you best process things in your life
