Please ask me questions, or maybe even @Alaskaball about the party. I will answer to the best of my ability, or will refer to the party for question I do not. We need to build the base of cadre who will help lead the proletariat. It took the Bolsheviks years to develop, and we must start doing the same if there is any hope for the oppressed peoples of the world.
Passion for our Ideology, and compassion for our comrades!
I think of Mao as an ML (and figure that he did too) and it's good to see that criticisms are considered. I was just a little concerned when I was poking around the site, doing a ctrl+f for 'mao' and the only thing that kept coming up was the part in the platform about defending AES from 'maoist' (amongst others), which... yeah, I could see that being a good stance. When I'm looking at an org, I'm looking for any sort of dogmatism or anti-materialist clinging to the past (or unnecessary sectarianism, by that I mean splitting hairs between whos who, labeling every little thing) , these two being something of an non-scientific socialism, I think.
