    Not to put words in your mouth - I see socialists in the USA constantly use incredibly warped talking points about how "actually we're the most democratic and freedom loving of all sir! wait where are you going??" can we agree these are far more fucked up talking points since they call back Le Epic Constitution and not Lenin and Stalin?

    There is genuine enthusiasm for DEMOCRATIC PARTY POLITICS on this site lolll people unironically post Ettingermentum substacks iirc

      A bit late for that 😕

      I understand where you're coming from, but as a maoist that doesn't live in the USA (not that my country is much better) I don't think I fall into the category of who you're talking about

        So you simultaneously want the KPRF to win, but also want to engage in protracted people's war against the Russian federation? WouldnMr that sap energy? Or do you think they need a split armed wing like the CPP🇵🇭?

        If you say they're weirdo nationalists like Limonov the natural assumption is they should eat shit, I am actually trying to understand you. :-/

          I think ultimately a militant revolutionary movement that's willing to engage in armed struggle is necessary to restore communism to Russia, but in the absence of such a movement social democratic parties serve a very limited purpose of allowing minor representation to workers in bourgeois government. I don't think it's a good idea to put time and energy towards the KPRF but I don't live in Russia and don't have any influence in their movements, so I can't exactly spit on Russian leftists that do, I can only critique what I see and read.

            Gotcha that kind of Maoist take is rare in my circles. I appreciate you clarifying what you've added to the discussion. As you can probably guess I think the global military & financial dominance of the USA precludes that 😬 in the case of India I think it's more appropriate since the government wants to use neocolonialism against the population and other countries in the region and must be opposed at every step.

            India doesn't oppose US militarism, the Philippines is colonized, it's open season

            Kerala military coup NOW they need to seize control of the army do what the Indonesian fascists accused the communists of actually doing. Fucking hype shit
