@ElGranSenglar No, it’s literally not. In the last free elections in Weimar the KPD and SPD combined got a higher share of the vote than the Nazis, yet it was the “centrist” and monarchist forces that elevated Hitler to power after the Nazis failed to win a majority.

@ElGranSenglar Noticed most libs have this view that the only thing that would have stopped the Nazi regime is an electoral victory of the party that empowered the Freikorps to crush the German Revolution of 1918/19, which, lol. Look up what happened immediately before the Spanish Civil War btw.

Stalinists seething and crying bitter tears that their cult of personality leader was a minor, tertiary figure in 1917 who was most prominent when he was refusing to publish Lenin’s Letters From Afar in Pravda before their return is always so funny, I love it.
I finished the intro to this book, and, honestly, there are a lot of historical inaccuracies in the intro. The intro downplays the role of the Bolshevik Party in the revolution, then it inflates Trotsky's role + paints Stalin as a tertiary figure with a bloodlust for power.

“Queer capitalists and bourgeois politicians are revolutionary because of their personal sexual identity” is based on such a massive abstraction of social relations it’s hard to even comprehend.
The Gender Accelerationist Manifesto remains one of the best introductory texts to understand the relationship between the heteronormative gender binary, colonialism and capitalism

This kind of “trad but Stalinist” trash is so blatantly reactionary it boggles the mind how these grifting fools think they’ll be able to dupe any people who already aren’t Strasserite wreckers. Like this shit isn’t even subtle or obfuscated, they just scream “we’re fascists”.
ACP is often criticized for the lack of female representation in the party. But who told you that women are craving to rule or lead? We are better at taking care of our children, the elderly, and our communities. We are nurturers by default. Of course, there are exceptions, but

Spineless cretin trying to restart his grift after calling Biden “the most pro-worker president since FDR” like a week ago. Do not let these pseudo-left frauds act all innocent and “radical” now. Just like after 2016 their goal is to corral workers and youth back into the Dems.
It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.

Stalinists constantly admitting that they don’t know what the April Theses are or even basic political developments of the Bolsheviks never fails to get a laugh from me haha.
Trotsky's "permanent" revolution is, as Lenin said, "skipping" the peasant movement, "playing at the seizure of power." Why is it dangerous? Because such a revolution, if an attempt had been made to bring it about, would inevitably have ended in failure,

To get a feeling of just how unimportant Stalin was in 1917, John Reed’s seminal Ten Days That Shook the World references Stalin only twice and one of those times was just a recitation of a list of names.

It’s one of the oddest “gotchas” that Stalinist use considering Stalin refused to publish Lenin’s Letters From Afar in Pravda calling for revolutionary struggle against the Provisional Government and then revived stagist theory to disastrous consequences in China in particular.

There’s a reason that Stalin had the book banned and publication of it in the USSR only resumed after his death . And before any Stalinist tries saying that it’s not a good source, Lenin thought so seeing as he wrote an introduction for the book.

Equating being anti-Zionist with being anti-Semitic is an actual manifestation of the latter. Zionism is a nationalist and ultimately murderous ideology that is not synonymous with Judaism. Some of the biggest Zionists in the US are fundamentalist Evangelical Protestants.

Cold take: the Stalinist insistence that socialism, explicitly an internationalist ideology and form of economics, can be achieved through nationalist autarky and concessions to imperialism makes it impossible to achieve socialism or communism in the age of imperialism.

“Class reductionism” is such a massive self report of an entirely subjective petit-bourgeois perspective, one that reeks of class privilege and affluence which is precisely why they are so eager to reject the primacy of class in social relations and material conditions.
If you're against Black power, you're just racist. Black power is merely a response to white power. Stop standing with white supremacy while calling yourself an anarchist. Also, class reductionism and its consequences lol.
