    You made me create an account to respond to this. I'm very tired of online MLs holding a monopoly on the claim of "all historical successful revolutions are ML revolutions." Not only is this claim just untrue, the one that follows it is laughably sad, because ML is also responsible for 100% of degenerated worker states. The October Revolution wasnt ML so dont even pretend you get that one either. Sandals is correct with this take. ML hasnt done anything in the 21st century, its frankly a bastardization of Marx. All tendencies are just following loosely in what some guy said, but the material conditions they were in are vastly different than the ones we are in. Online MLs remind me of preachy evangelicals, always saying "comrade" or preaching down on you while they have the audacity to support Stalin as a great theorist. "the law of value and commodity production continues into communism." What utter shit. Rant over.

      October Revolution was Marxist and Leninist and the formulation that Marxism-Leninism was based off of, so yes it was ML.

      If you are so tired of MLs having the sole mantle of successful revolutionaries then try winning a revolution sometime.

      Of course all “degenerated worker states” are ML, as MLs are the only ones to create ANY worker states

      Imagine making an account to post Trotskyite dribble lol

        Im not a trot but go off. Lenin wasnt a "Leninist", he was a Marxist. God MLs are allergic to reading. Being proud of a degenerated worker state is peak cope and LARP. You didnt do anything in the various peasant revolutions around the world. Stop larping on the internet for 2 god damn minutes

            "i can only categorize opinions i dislike as the opinions of various tendencies i disagree with." Im not here for a flame war. Im not a trot, i dont agree with perm rev, im not an ML, im not anything.

              “I’m not anything”

              The famous “not anything” revolution of 1965, ah of course.

              Why should I be lectured on socialism by a “not anything” who disregards history and believes themselves above it?

                How will you win a revolution with no allies? Congratulations, you've successfully purity-tested us. Now you're alone.

                    I am a Marxist. Its just i dont like labeling myself. Clearly youre more concerned with appearances than anything else. I hope you get around to reading Marx some time :)

                      Marxists should be open and clear with labeling themselves and their position. Your aversion to labels is a personal distaste, not a political program or stance.

                      You are just a distorter too ashamed by actual existing socialism (because you believe rightwing lies to some extent) and thus try to hide and obscure your beliefs.

                        man youre so obviously a wrecker its insane. "actual existing socialism" MLs can barely identify capitalism of course they cant identify socialism. Read some books man, i promise you you can understand Marxism, its not that advanced.

                                I mean yeah i dont agree with that part at all. Electoralism is blatantly a dead end. See, we have common ground. I was less defending him and more attacking your ML= successful socialist revolution.

                                  Ok and the only successful revolutions in history have been Marxist parties using Democratic Centralism... so if electoralism isn’t valid and we have to have a revolution....

                                        Look, until you square away things like the law of value and commodity production still being in operation of "actually existing socialist states" then im not on board with your idea of "socialism" aka state capitalism. DAE leftcom infantile. Get a new response. Lenin was talking about Dutch-German leftcoms. Wasnt talking about Bordiga.

                                          Ultra bullshit. There will be markets and commodities as long as there are capitalists and imperialists. Only one the majority of the world has gone socialist can the transition to higher stage communism begin.

                                          The conditions of the USSR and PRC have not been adequate to move to communism. FFS read Lenin

                                                        imagine thinking the US is going to lead the way with communism. Youre detached from reality if you think any movement will get off the ground in the US. Only way is if the US is continually destabilized and cant meddle in the affairs of other nations for a while. So thank you for telling me you totally know me and my ideas. Chapos dont read theory, its painfully clear.

                                                            yeah i agree with your first point. Thats where we have common ground. But CPC raising living standards isnt socialism. It just isnt. Socialism isnt worker enrichment, its the abolition of classes. So i totally understand where youre coming from with the second point. Of course lifting people out of poverty is good, but dont confuse it with socialism/communism.

                                                  I support the real communist movement, with hundreds of millions of proletariat and worker states.

                                                  You support hot air. Miss me with that bullshit
