I haven't fully convinced myself on this line of thought but I figured I'd argue it as best I could mostly caue my lack of full conviction isnhonestly vibes based. I'd like to hear what people think. It's an ML question, feel free to answer regardless.
So, your big well known national ML communist party is full of aging intellectuals with super reactionary opinions. This is no good. What is a young and based ML citizen to do? JOIN THE PARTY IS WHAT TO DO, make sure all your comrades and friends do too. It's a super tiny little party! There's gotta be enough of us to be able to take over the party! If membership skyrockets and an influx of young people are voting against this shit in the party and calling it out in party meetings and having others there to back it up, we can totally topple the shitty old guard. Take it as your first revolutionary lesson, seize the party, don't be a splitter.
Combat Liberalism is all like:
To indulge in irresponsible criticism in private instead of actively putting forward one's suggestions to the organization. To say nothing to people to their faces but to gossip behind their backs, or to say nothing at a meeting but to gossip afterwards. To show no regard at all for the principles of collective life but to follow one's own inclination. This is a second type.
Not to obey orders but to give pride of place to one's own opinions. To demand special consideration from the organization but to reject its discipline. This is a fourth type.
To indulge in personal attacks, pick quarrels, vent personal spite or seek revenge instead of entering into an argument and struggling against incorrect views for the sake of unity or progress or getting the work done properly. This is a fifth type.
To hear incorrect views without rebutting them and even to hear counter-revolutionary remarks without reporting them, but instead to take them calmly as if nothing had happened. This is a sixth type
To see someone harming the interests of the masses and yet not feel indignant, or dissuade or stop him or reason with him, but to allow him to continue. This is an eighth type.
To work half-heartedly without a definite plan or direction; to work perfunctorily and muddle along--"So long as one remains a monk, one goes on tolling the bell." This is a ninth type.
So that's what my brain says and I'm leaning there any thoughts?
Follow-up: Do you really think all those liberal lapdogs will give up the keys to the kingdom after they've been living high off the hog their entire lives? That they'd give up ownership of all the legacy assets from past communists who've set in their inheritance to the party they bequeath their worldly assets for generations? The legacy assets they've been profiteering off of?
It'd be nice if they did. But I think it's about as likely as Biden honoring his word at being a one term president.
Follow-up part two: What do you think those Hazard dipshits were doing? Exactly this but even more insufferable, and every time they poked their heads up they got yanked out of the party with zero hesitation to the point for a set period of time anyone that was dissenting against the party leadership were assumed to be "In on the plan" and also removed from the party. Those that remain are the dying members of the old party who will stick to it like a crew on a sinking ship, new members that kept their mouths shut, and lastly young liberal sheepdogs. Those DNC running dogs capitalized on the purges done by the Rightist leadership of CPUSA by feeding names of anyone they didn't like to be removed from the party like good little toadies, and as reward for their service from cleaning up the patsoc threat to the party (both real and unreal) these little liberal sheepdogs are being assigned leadership positions within their respective clubs and districts to groom them for national leadership so they can carry the torch forward as the current social fascists die out.
last follow-up: Combat Liberalism only applies when you yourself are in a communist party and doing party work, with the writing itself being pointed towards further developing and sharpening the party membership and cadre into a fine point. If you want to personally follow it or parts of it, that's perfectly fine. Just be aware that it's not some kind of cheat code manual to communist life that'll give you +10 charisma points. Oppose book worship and all that, avoid dogmatization.
Uhh, Combat Liberalism does not tell people to join an org to commit mass entryism on it; this is wrong, I'm sorry to say.
We mainly expel PatSocs from the party, especially here in my own district. Nat'l does not generally expel unless its a high profile case (such as John Bachtell almost being expelled from the party).
Most of the old guard is poor... They are not profiteering off of "legacy assets."
