And yet society has evolved historically towards greater and greater interconnection, rather than fragmentation. Shouldn’t that say something about how human nature depends more on our ever-changing material conditions, than as something fixed and static?

Sure, but you also have to make sure aspiring Marxists don’t get led astray. Organizing and building power means opposing resolutely opportunists and grifters like this.
What refusing to join a serious org results in, I suppose. Just join PSL, FRSO, or even some of the better DSA local branches, there’s no need for people to join these odd splinter groups that get overtaken by PatSocs.
Ugh, they need to be sternly combatted in every instance. We cannot let the PatSocs overtake the Marxist-Leninist movement and steer people in a Strasserite direction.
Oh really? I’m surprised! I’ve only seen ML and Trotskyist orgs (in addition to DSA, etc). Might be a Uni thing? I haven’t seen them publicly.
Good suggestions!
6·4 hours agoJust because you refer to workers in the DPRK as “slaves” doesn’t mean they are. Slavery is a specific form of labor relation, workers in the DPRK collectively own the means of production and distribution.
Tunnels work!
The DPRK has neither slaves nor a dictator.
It truly is!
I haven’t seen this happen, actually. Stalin isn’t a god, but anyone claiming he was worse than, for example, Gorbachev or Khruschev has some extreme difficulty in making such a case.
Ah, gotcha.
Not sure, never watched nor read them. They seem to be focused a lot on Trump specifically, and his personal failings rather than solid materialist analysis.
Good suggestion, I’ll add it!
Here’s a good mix of progressive news outlets, with a wide variety in global focus:
Try to read multiple sources for the same subject!
Yep, I agree! Makes it clear that Orwell’s works are popular for their propaganda value more than their literary merit.
To be fair, the DPRK are tunnel-maxxers, similar to Hamas, due to the legacy of Statesian bombing campaigns during the Korean War.
It’s socialist, but not a utopia. No country on Earth is free of problems. It’s also extremely difficult to move to the DPRK.
The ACP is homophobic, transphobic, and adopt a pro-US Imperialism stance at a domestic level. They are “MAGA Communists,” in other words far-right grifters. If you oppose those positions, then you can’t let them slide.
That’s also why having a dedicated arguing account is nice, and makes me question why I never do that.
