Im so done with these Ultras spitting on sucessful revolutions to jack off about purity and whine about revisionism.
The only existing socialist country is the USA. It’s currently being ruled with an iron fist by a Marxist Liberalist dictator who’s trying to turn everyone into peasant slaves for the new migrant overseer.
Soon every white straight male will be forced to strip naked and work the fields in a chain gain while woke blue haired baristas humiliate him by whipping and milking him publicly for not tipping 95% of his wages. It is the most successful communist country in the world. It’s over. The west has fallen
They've got so much cool planned for when we're gone, it's messed up.
Online-brained western ultraleft: "Uhm actually Cuba is imperialist and revisionist because they trade with other countries"
Literally everyone else:
there are states run by communist parties in opposition to the capitalist global hegemony. often not to the extent that we would like but idk what these libs expect.
there are no stateless classless moneyless societies (except maybe some indigenous groups somewhere) and asking if there are any is a very silly question
Roman golden coin profile pic ultra is reaching entirely new levels of type-of-guy that were once only theorized about.
Im more worried about the poll results than the one guy. That ultraism is the party line on that hellsite has become infuriating.
Twitter is actively poisoning the left. It needs to go away.
The patsocs are definitly an op. I thought twitter ultraism was genuine because they dont have big name leaders really but im no longer sure. It being an accident does seem difficult to swallow.
I view complaining about revisionists as being like a drug. It's fine and good to indulge when appropriate, fun too, but if you're finding excuses to do it all the time, or shoehorning it into everything then that's probably not doing you any favors. When I first got seriously (well, more seriously) into socialism I worried if I was gonna become one of those inscrutable people who calls everyone revisionists all the time. Turns out, only sometimes, and these other people have a problem.
They exist, in a very literal sense. Regardless of whether it's good or anything near socialism, it's Eastern Bloc style political and economical systems and societal models.
Honestly, I've mostly grown numb on "ultras" like Maoists and Left-Coms being annoying at this point, since I share a lot of Leftist spaces with them (mainly on Discord) and there's a good amount of back-and-forth between us that can sometimes lead to something interesting. Left "infighting" and rigorous debate/shitslinging is going to be the case wherever you go, even in real life organizations like the DSA or PSL (to a lesser degree albeit). It can be a good thing, even, in that it forces us to constantly to reinforce or reevaluate our stances. So long as they don't try to engage in sectarianism where it isn't conducive to anything and throw other Marxists under the bus in the face of libs and reactionaries when the chips are down (like some Maoists, Trots and self-professed "anti-tankie anarchists" do), it's "agree to disagree" with them until those disagreements boil over into important decision-making (which is a long way to go if you're in the imperial core like I am, tbh). Some MLMs like BRG and Paul Morrin for instance interact regularly with "revisionists" and even defend them when it matters, like when Calla Walsh got arrested protesting an Israeli arms manufacturing center and was getting smeared by zionists.
Not to say we should tolerate anything and everything for the sake of some vague goal of Left Unity, especially if a "leftist" is supporting Israel or NATO, but we can manage factional differences when our more immediate goals align as any "United Front" historically did. For online shitslinging in particular, I just get off of Birdsite or certain Discord channels for a while to "detox" if it becomes too much.
Tl;dr the Western Left (which most of us are) is still so unorganized and weak that our irreconcilable ideological differences are not the immediate contradiction and we shouldn't waste energy on constantly splitting from, undermining and purging each other. However, it's okay to feel frustrated and take a break from the "discourse", now and then.
