This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

I was reading Carrillo's "Eurocommunism and the State" for an article and he did that thing a lot of revisionist do where they go "well everything is revisionism!!!! Lenin was a revisionist!!! Marx was a revisionist of himself!!!" Etc. Etc.

But really they are, honestly probably purposefully, obfuscating what revisionism is. For example, he uses the change from war communism to the NEP to post-nep policies as an example of lenin being a revisionist of himself, which...no? That's not what revisionism is. That's just applying different policies to material conditions. I mean it gets a little more complicated obviously but I honestly do very much hate it.

I think I get the distinction you mean. Adaptation may be a better word for how theory morphs in response to conditions.
