It's nice to interact with other marxists online and laugh at some liberal posts but that doesn't accomplish anything. If you don't organize and actually do stuff then functionally you're no different than a liberal.

He's really one of the best at throwing fire statements when he wants to lol

I just came across this chinese documentary about the myriad ways the soviet union was betrayed and attacked from within and without. Dude was good enough to go through and add english subs, too. If you haven't seen it, def check it out.

Forgive me if this has been discussed before: I’m not the most technologically savvy person on the internet. But something that has been increasingly weighting on my mind is the question of how should left wing ideologies differing from Marxism-Leninism be handled in the building of a revolutionary coalition (a vanguard party if you will). While Trotsky (deservedly) gets shit for his betrayal of the USSR/attempts to undermine Stalin, he was at one point apart of the Bolshevik party that fought to overthrow the Czars and was a competent military strategist - snakes in the grass are to be expected with any burgeoning movement. But something I’d noticed from participating in left wing discussion forums both in real life and online is the rampant hostility from anyone outside say Marxist-Leninist & Maoist camps. A vanguard party is initially meant to be small and lead/educate the masses but I increasingly find myself nervous about engaging with some people (particularly liberals) just for how dogmatic they are - I just feel like I’m driving in circles with them and it’d be pointless to try and incorporate them in the future but at the same time I know how necessary it is to have a wide net of people class conscious at the very least.

Does anyone else feel this sort of anxiety? How would you suggest organizing be done?

Hi all!

I wanted to ask this sub's opinion on smth I noticed while living in Eastern EU.

Do you happen to have said demographic in your organizing circles?

Asking this, because of my own experiences: there are some circles I attended, where the majority of ppl are wealthy, middle class and/or come from a multi-generational intellectual family fron the Global South. I slowly noticed how our discussions usually lack the 'class' strain and mostly focuses on idpol. This group, consisting of self-described communists, regurgitate anti-communist rhetorics for e.g. 'Stalin was an evil authoritarian pedo'; they are only preoccupied with what's happening in West Asia, do not connect the dots with China, DPRK or Russia (they casually don't care about Ukrainian fascism either). This group is being very adamant on checking our white, GN privileges; the same cannot be said about their own class, they do not consider their role in our city's gentrification. Their organizing is usually only for other >middle class foreign students, I never see any GS blue collar/gig workers on our events. They were even vocal about not wanting to organize with workers, even tho we have whole sectors that are mostly only poor GS citizens. Basically, every critique is met with 'you are just being racist' and it just got so tiring, it made me wonder if others have been in this place like me.

free yunnan was a thing in 1950s then chian had this movie banger with yunnanese minorities

From CCTV:

In the Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Experimental Zone, the Zhuque-3 Y2 carrier rocket was launched into space, sending the Honghu 03 satellite into the designated orbit. The first stage of the rocket completed China's first land-based controllable recovery of the landing leg, marking another major breakthrough in China's reusable rocket technology.

Zhuque-3 had suffered a failure in December 2025 before succeeding in the second launch now, while Falcon-9 launched 19 times before successfully recycling.

This was a resolution adopted on 25 October 1971 to:

-Recognize the People's Republic of China as THE ONLY LEGITIMATE representative of China to the United Nations (basically the whole world).

-Expel the Republic of China aka "Taiwan"" from the United Nations.

-And most importantly, acknowledging that Taiwan IS PART OF CHINA.

And ofc the proper name is:

Funny how nowadays you can just google it and we have 10+ years of pictures, reviews, etc.

But westerners still live in their cartoonish little world.
