Cuba had nearly 80,000 neighborhood town halls to hash out their new Family Code before it went to a vote. When’s the last time there was a town hall in your town of Anywhere, USA over legislation? When’s the last time you got to have input on a change to the constitution?

Make no mistake: prior experiments of socialism did not FAIL. They were DESTROYED. We can examine the drawbacks of specific policies or positions of these extinct states through a Marxist lens, but their extinction was not due to a deficiency in the science of Marxism-Leninism.

🧵 To a liberal, the concept of "democracy" is esoteric and intangible, like "freedom" or "happiness". But democracy IS tangible, it IS measurable. For example, most of us spend the majority of our lives at work, yet only 10% of Americans are in a union.

I don’t understand dying on the hill of “patriotic socialism”. Who do you think is listening? It’s certainly not the working class. Appealing to the patriotism of a blue collar worker here in Appalachia AT BEST will come off as disingenuous, and at worst will get your ass beat.

30 years ago today, on December 8th 1991, the Belovezh Accords were signed which illegally dissolved the Soviet Union. I watched an interview this morning with an old man who grew up during and after WW2 and he said “the country, the motherland, was lost.”

Being a Trotskyist must be so easy. You have no impetus to learn any developments of socialism past the 1930s. You don’t have to do any critical thinking about the material reality of modern socialist states, you can write them all off as “degenerated worker’s states”.

There is a reason Trotskyism, leftcommunism, and other various forms of ultra-leftism is peddled in the West, and why you find ultra-left thinkers taught about in US history books as “counter-cultural” to Stalin, Lenin, etc: they pose no real threat to the ruling class.

You know what will trigger class consciousness in said worker? Asking him why he can criticize the president, but not his boss. Asking him why his daddy worked the same job in 1970 and bought a 3000 sq-ft house, when he can’t afford an 800 sq-ft apartment.

I was exposed to Marxism on TikTok back in 2020/2021, and much of that early exposure came from Eddie and Midwestern Marx. Seeing him devolve from PatSoc into LaRouchism and Hazite NatSoc is sad, but mostly pathetic. It’s so easy to avoid this when you’re not a chauvinist.

The CP obtained the building in the 70s via [REDACTED] and is thus able to charge well-below market value for the space it rents out. We’re forced to struggle within the society that birthed us. Requiring us to be paupers to prove ideological purity is utopian at best.
