Spicy question maybe, but I'm interested in your takes....
“Red-Brown alliance” smear is used to attack both Russia’s military operation, & the united front against NATO ( open.substack.com )
Purity fetishism: why much of the left has attacked Rage Against the War Machine & Cornel West’s campaign ( open.substack.com )
I'm apparently a lib?
So, I'm not cool with genocide. Not cool with that at all. Even if they are landlords. I'm much more in favor of reeducation centers, personally. I'm against the death penalty on moral grounds. I believe that everyone deserves a second and third chance....
Left sectarian attacks on Rage Against the War Machine enabled the indictments of black communists ( open.substack.com )
Degrowth, drug fetishism, & “anti-colonialism” are used as weapons against the revolutionary cause ( open.substack.com )
This will probably be one of Rainer's most controversial articles to date.
I didn’t realize PCUSA were such settler chouvanists.
In a recent call on the national question someone asked about how some people say the United States is not a legitimate nation because of settler colonialism and he said he knew it was obviously wrong but was wondering what their mistake is. Someone claimed that “landback” people never have a clear policy proposal. And I was...
Is the PSL legit?
I'm seeing a bunch of controversy surrounding which socialist organizations to join and I've heard the best things/least bad things about the PSL. Is this true?
Communist Party of Britain released a transphobic statement ( archive.ph )
Communist Party of TERF Island Britain released a statement which includes the following questionable (and downright transphobic) statements:...
Class conflict is escalating. We must defeat the “Marxist” anti-communists who seek to stop workers victory. ( open.substack.com )
We don't have to tail the fascist "Rage Against the War Machine". We're more popular than you think, the media just doesn't want us to know it. ( www.liberationnews.org )

What are your thoughts on Hoxha?
Not that I like the guy, I'm curious as to our thoughts on him.
‘Anti-tankie’ chump suggests that Big Bad Stalin was what divided the KPD and SPD ( teddit.zaggy.nl )
A good refutation of the ‘KPD is to blame for the Third Reich’ myth is Sergio Bologna’s Nazism and the working class, which focuses more on class analysis (!!!) than blaming ‘the left’ or the Comintern or Moscow or specifically Joseph Stalin for almost everything that went wrong. (It’s also a big surprise coming from...

Sincere post on the anti-psychiatry rhetoric
Full disclosure: I'm training to be a psychologist (not psychiatrist)...
I am Chinese and I have very little hope in China as a Communist country. Please help! I don’t see things improving! Regarding University LGBT incident and 996.
Hello. Hopefully I won’t get banned for mentioning some stuff happening in China. From a western perspective, China seems perfect. There is a Communist Party in charge and the constitution says people have labor rights. But I want to examine some topics which make me very uncomfortable....

Damn /r/communism mods are pretty Maoist
The most important thing needs to be said first. I am not well read on Maoist theory and history apart from On Contradiction by Mao (which is not really Maoist). So whatever I say, you may as well completely disregard it. It won't any difference....
Raddlers being extremely funny again ( raddle.me )
What's the deal with the DPRK?
In what way is it a democratic republic? I mean, it just looks like a dynasty. If it's not, could you explain how it's not, and if it is, how is that ok? I'm not deliberately trying to repeat U.S. propaganda, I hope this doesn't come off like that, but my only knowledge so far is only from the U.S., so I'm asking these questions...
Okay wtf is going on with Trots ( lemmygrad.ml )

Western Leftism is idealistic and racist in nature
And only serves to defend the western white Bourgeoisie from the much more serious and theory-oriented "tankies" whom gather their theory from actual research and actual dialecticism. In the past and the present, they're perhaps the biggest force advocating anti-communist narratives.
