"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

This was originally posted in r/TankieTheDeprogram by firefighter 430 (not the same image though). On reddit the ACP (American Communist Party) is infiltrating subreddits, and tried to infiltrate the tankie one too. Be aware that the ACP is not marxist nor are they communist. Pls stay safe everyone on lemmygrad.
While I do agree with you, it's important to understand that they aren't just socially reactionary, but in advocating for ultranationalism within imperialist countries, they are passively also supporting imperialism. There's a contradiction at play between their anti-imperialism and their ultranationalism, which was the point I tried to highlight.
Their sort of MAGA Communism is ultimately based on ideas like small business, petty bourgeois quasi-socialism, socially reactionary positions, and ultranationalism within the imperial core. They would be bad enough if their only flaw was being socially reactionary, but the fact that they uphold nationalism within the imperial core betrays their supposed anti-imperialism as well, not to mention the incorrect analysis leading to the petite bourgeois focus.
I do appreciate you holding me to a higher standard though, comrade, and I mean that genuinely.
its comments like these why I joined the grad. this the core of accepting and dealing out criticism to make each other advance both in understanding and as a person that gives me hope of a future that is actually conducive to human development for everyone.
thank you comrades. o7
Yep! Grad is nice because there's a good understanding of correct criticism and a common grounding in Marxism-Leninism. It's an extremely chill space for me that I greatly appreciate for discussion.
Meanwhile on reddit: "100 gorbillion dead in Russia and 40 bazillion killed in the great leap forward."
Lemmy.world and the other liberal instances too.
We haven't defederated from them?
Grad doesn't defederate normally, but .world defederated from us. They can't see us but we can see them.
Another thing which i greatly appreciate about this place. I don't support defederation unless it is with an instance that is specifically dedicated to spamming our instance with bots. Otherwise i think the possibility for debate should remain open, so long as there is good moderation keeping everything civil and within reasonable bounds. It's too bad the lib instances are too afraid of being owned by our facts and logic that they just chicken out and defederate, lol.
Yep, Grad is one of the calmest instances I've seen. I spend a good deal of time on Lemmy.ml too, but I go there knowing it's not really going to be a relaxing time or with high quality discussion.
