    Some TL;DR –

    • We now are obliged to believe in degrowth, not more-more-more production like Marx/Engels did.

    • We now can't have the confidence of an irresistible historical movement like they could back then.

    • "Marxism is not the only revolutionary ideology. Our refounded Marxist movement must see itself as part of a complex web of revolutionary ideologies which includes many in today’s anarchist movement, ecofeminism, liberation theology, indigenous and nationalist revolutionary currents among others."

    • Organise a political party (broad) not a little vanguardist group of tightly-agreeing people

    • "We maintain the theory of the state as a bulwark of ruling class interests, affirm the need for an insurgent revolutionary movement to overthrow the old state power and impose new state forms that will reflect the democratic aspirations of a popular mass movement"

    • A revolutionary organisation (practice) should have a journal (theory)

    • "The cadre organization must attempt to become a two-way transmission belt between its own consciousness and a broader mass movement—thus enabling itself to learn from the experience of the mass movement, while also helping the mass movement to act in a revolutionary manner during historical moments when revolutionary action becomes possible. (This is Lenin’s theory of a vanguard party, properly understood.)"

    • "The right of nations to self-determination (once again developed in its clearest form by Lenin) remains a core principle of a refounded Marxist movement."

        People who only consume digital content have pretty obvious brain-rot, IME. No way they'rr gonna understand theory.
