"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Begone, yakubian leftist. You're on the wrong server. We don't cater to western chauvinists here.

Look at this. I lay down a tame, no heat, barely even flavored criticism that you know you're guilty of and your default response is isolationism and petty namecalling.
And you wonder why you have trouble reaching people.
To be clear, Marxism-Leninism is rising, even in the west. Some people may be more difficult to reach than others, but that doesn't mean the process on the whole isn't positive.
No heat? Your ideology revolves around denouncing revolutionary socialism and calling actual socialists 'authoritarians', and then you come here and complain about "leftist Unity", that too to the people who came up with democratic centralism, the method of unity among socialists.
Is that not a provocation in your eyes, shitlib?
Who said it was my ideology?
Can't handle the mild sauce OR make a point without projecting. You need to touch grass.
Oh, so you are just an unprincipled chud who came here to stir up some shit.
Go back to your lair, kiddo. The average communist here organizes more in a week than you probably do in a year.
You are so far up your own ass it's kind of noteworthy. The only thing you're organizing is an echo chamber.
Still here, reactionary? Go do something productive with your life.
I would rather live in an echo chamber of principled communists than in a big tent with bigots and opportunists.
The only people you have reached are social chauvinists who vote for warcriminals with Nazi tattoos and white billionaires who can't call a genocide a genocide.
And yet you don't see the very obvious flaws with trying to reform the imperialist parties into socialism. Many of these people are democratic socialist in name, they think you need a liberal democracy first then to reform it. It's a lazy way of looking at the transition to socialism, the same way its lazy to call china revisionist because they are still working within a global capitalist system towards transition. None of this to say the democratic socialism of these imperial core leftists is wrong, its more that MLs assert that history shows its likely ineffective.
