Anything that’s clicks and whirrs is so fascinating to me. Don’t see much of that in the digital age

Something a little lighter than my last post! (Still heavy. Rest in peace Ka Joma.) Just enjoy some nice music. Might post more in the evenings.!
Marxist-Leninist-Maoist. Simply, it's the most proven and current mode of Marxist organization that addresses the pitfalls of past revolutions (revisionism, over-bureaucratic, erosion of the democratic rule of the masses' party) while maintaining the revolutionary line abandoned by revisionist states at some point in their existence (China, USSR, Nepal pretty recently). It recognizes that the masses make history and even outright calls for attacks on the parties' headquarters from the masses should they rest on their laurels too heavily and abandon the revolutionary struggle. It has active revolutions globally, namely in the Philippines and India currently. These revolutions are developing and have done a lot of really great things in countries that have historically been extremely reactionary (the New Peoples Army officiated the first gay wedding in the Philippines!)
I am open to any questions because a big part of MLM is Criticism, self criticism, and unity! For my anarchist friends here may I recommend this video! It's a really good and non-antagonistic video about how we might have a little more in common than you'd think! :)

![A Summation of the Red Guards and CR-CPUSA - Politics In Command](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/01c010ad-a4dc-4c49-bc4c-596a3c15bac1.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
This video covers the rise and fall of the red guards (later known as the CR-CPUSA) from the perspective of an anonymous former member. This former member, like a lot of the old movement, failed to understand the trappings of the old lumpen leadership and instead blamed the collapse on "Gonzoloism" This move was extremely damaging to the movement, and mislead hundreds about the nature of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism by only further tying those who purported Gonzalo thought in name only to the lumpen gangsterism of the cliquish old leaders and, instead of a restructuring, completely liquidated the CR-CPUSA. Read "The Collapse" for a thorough, if not slightly biased chronicle of this collapse.
Declaring Gonzalo thought "Revisionist" within the first 10 minutes should be enough to prove to you the right-deviationism of the hosts and their guest, who later goes on to completely disregard the peoples war in Peru and, contradictorily, claims that the CPP were somehow "good Maoists" while simultaneously "distorting Maoism". Their guest further explains the over-militarization of the old movement, pinning it again onto "Gonzaloism" and not the mistakes of the old leadership. They again contradict themselves when they say later on they didn't fully understand what militarization is.
This cannot be perceived as anything but right-deviationist revisionism that aims to defer the revolutionary path of Maoism as a developing science in favor of an almost Trotskyite adherence to some orthodox "Maoism" that is not Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. This needs to be debated, combatted, and disproved. And if any comrades have questions, feel free to let them be known.
One of the best resources for new socialists or anybody who just wants to know what it’s all about. Short, digestible, and understandable. Listen if you have time or you just need a refresher!

This might as well be a Dankey Kang community but I’m just trying to fill the space out with some good educational videos while I think of some more questions. Would y’all like to see anything in particular?

This episode talks about dialectical and historical materialism, the three laws of dialectics and contradiction.
It’s really cool optics to edit a anti-fascist image to be about “tankies”. Really shows the true alignment of you lot.
It’s a 3D model so I don’t see why not. It’s not at the top of the list but definitely something I’m gonna work on from the art end of things
Thank you!
What infrastructure do you think is the most communist? Human centered? Industry centered? Something else? What needs to be transformed in modern capitalist society to get to that point? And, most importantly, why are trains so awesome?
I personally think the communist city is not as centralized, instead spread out over the world in mid rise multi family blocks surrounded by farms (as common property using local crops along with whatever a citizen may want to grow should they acquire the seeds and means to care for them) and automated industry running on clean energy like fusion. I think the decentralization of the city re-enforces the masses and communism as whole. This, I think, also doesn’t really need cars. Once the city is totalizing and fully realized it would be a failure of infrastructure to not have easy and reliable public transportation like rail.

Episode 3 of this great series I’m posting here daily. This one covers the evolution of the science up to its latest development into Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, being preceded by Marxism-Leninism and Marxism before that.
Worse than the feds, and may god forgive me for uttering their name… these are leftcoms

Clearing up the different definitions and historical contexts of Mao-Zedong Thought and how it is synthesized into Marxism-Leninism-Maoism in the 1990s with development starting in the 1960s
In as simple or complex terms as you’d like. I have always described it as a “Deviation from the revolutionary line for purpose of capitalization, consolidation, or destruction of the Mass line in favor of the party bourgeois, landholders, etc” and a fundamental abandonment of scientific socialism in favor of pragmatic adoption of anti-socialist policy that does not lay the groundwork for communism.
There are, however, retreats back while remaining on the socialist road. In the USSR the NEP was used to maintain the socialist road after the civil war in a time of crisis (as opposed to the capitalist roading in the CCP on the back of steady economic, poltical and population growth during the GPCR), which still remains on the socialist road. The revolutionary line is still upheld and the contradictions of state are still resolved by a party of the proletariat.
Do you disagree? Have something to add? Let me know! Just remember to keep it civil and principled.

First episode of a great series on the essential parts of Maoism. His channel also has some great videos on revisionism.
I think it’s awesome. It’s the first time in a whole I’ve been on “new” social media and it’s bringing back a lot of feelings I thought were dead since the internet became so centralized
Ultrakill is one of my favorites because to S rank you need to break the mechanics. Levels and boss fights that took me hours after a few tries take me minutes at most because you go from fighting on a relatively fair field to exploiting every weapon in your arsenal to absolutely wreck your opponent. Im talking stun-locks, traps, and exploits to take a big bad from a threat to an obstacle in the way of your run to the tune of 15 seconds. I love it :P
If their opinion is on weather or not saying racial slurs is good I’m not exactly keen on opening the door to them at this marketplace of ideas
For me: It is simply love. Love of my neighbors and my friends, and the love of the masses. I am also a very realistic person, so I understand the necessity of the masses leading a future of wealth and prosperity, as opposed to the few,
Why are you? No wrong answers.
Welcome! I figured I should make this community to post about what interests me, but I would love any contributions from my other comrades who come across this page. Remember, keep discussion cordial and principled!

A great video from Marxism Today talking about Movementism, Mao's Youth and what Marxist-Leninist-Maoist theory can do for the Anarchists, especially within the imperial core.
"The Activist Study (Araling Aktibista), or ARAK as it’s known, is part of the required study for activists in the Filipino revolutionary movement. The study includes Mao Zedong’s Five Golden Rays, along with lessons on Revolutionary Study and Analysis, the Mass Line, and Democratic Centralism and the Committee System–all essential texts for studying and forming revolutionary practice." - Foreign Languages Press
Comments: I have previously reproduced on this blog a statement of a Revolutionary Study Network (henceforth: RSN); I now reproduce one on…

Hosted by the talented Queer_Bolshevik on Medium. This was made following the liquidation of the CR-CPUSA and the construction of the Revolutionary Study Group earlier this year.
To my understanding- the real divider here is agreement on weather or not Deng’s capitalist roading/economic reforms were revisionist or pragmatic. People who agree with the former aren’t represented to much of any degree, on here and Reddit. The latter are on Lemmygrad. Not much discussion on the Mass Line or Concentric Construction or Marxism as a science in general which I think can alienate interested parties like anarchists and progressives into seeing these guys as really really online
It is funny how the only viable Reddit alternative I’ve found so far (here) isnt led by weird libertarian tech bros but communists lol
Mercenaries taking their employers hostage? A tale as old as… well- as long as there’s been mercenaries.
If we’re talking unpopular as in not very well known outside of its immediate community I gotta say Ultrakill. It’s a retro shooter distilled to its most essential parts with a style meter tied into it. It’s like ballet… with shotguns and exploding demons- so not a lot like ballet. But it’s good! Buy it!
I have a PC and a Nintendo Switch I swore I was gonna use when TOTK until giving myself a heaping backlog to get through on my pc before I start a new game anywhere- so the switch gathers dust still.
Tf2 is up there for me as well! Funny thing is I only started getting good at it in the last year or so. And I’ve been playing since 2012 lol
This is my first exposure Fediverse :D
They’re all games from when I was a kid and had more free time- so Garrys Mod, Half-Life 2 and Portal take the cake
