You’re yelling at a cloud. I ardently defend Palestinians against their genocide on Lemmy. I don’t like labels, but would be what you call an anarchist. An Internationalist with Council Communist leanings. And I’m here to educate those who think they can have socialism without abolishing capitalism. Marxist Leninists get that, so they are allies. You can’t defend capitalism and be a socialist. It’s that simple.
Marxist Leninists hold no offices and have no power in America. Their organization is limited. Hating on them is performative and masturbatory. It strokes the ego. But it also serves fascism by minimizing the coalition needed to fight it. You can hate tankies with the fire of a thousand suns, but they are against the very people we hope to defeat. I’m no fan of authoritarian leftists, but that battle should be saved for the fifth international after we defeat fascism.
I wasn’t alive in 1922. Hopefully it won’t play out the same. We have the benefit of hindsight to avoid those mistakes. Leftist infighting serves capitalism. I choose not to participate. I prefer to reserve my anger for capitalism.
I denounce it. You can’t deal with a problem until you address it. I have participated by posting heavy handed criticism of liberalism. This post and this discussion is helping me to reconsider that method.
