Shower beer is one of life's great pleasures.

Socialism is the social formation in which the means of production are made into public property and production is organized and rationally planned according to social needs. It comes into being when the working class constructs its own state, a class dictatorship in the form of the Dictatorship...

People can call themselves whatever they want, it doesn't change the material fact of what they support. If capitalism is a thing with a definition, then so is socialism. And people who support capitalism aren't socialists because those are two different things. It would be like calling yourself...

43 posts, a whole bunch of bad definitions of socialism, and nobody has yet asked the dialecticians for an answer. For shame. I mean, we have a thread for it and everything....

Yes I meant the Popular Front.

Well Labour (and all social-democratic parties), as a party consciously of the working class, is capable of exerting political force, at times, in ways that benefit the working class despite it being a welcome presence in bourgeois parliaments. Those measures, while obviously reformist in their...

I didn't realize this had become a "soapbox against Marxism-Leninism" thread. Either ask a question or get out. I...umm....no?

No revolution is going to happen while putting our support behind imperialists and liberals. Of that you can be sure. If we support leftists who support the Democrats, then we are supporting the Democrats ourselves. It's like if your mom gives you money for gas, and you use that money to buy...

I'm guessing this is because you think a polemic criticizing the actions of the largest left-wing party in the country, that has served for a long time as the standard-bearer of the radical left, is puerile and sectarian? I can't imagine how a person could arrive at such a conclusion, unless...

The CPUSA, which has by now discarded any semblance of leftism, is endorsing the Democrats. We regard this as among the highest levels of betrayal. They've had a line for many years now about "lesser evilism" based on a perverted understanding of the Popular Front. I actually had to write a...

I can't find a table of contents for the Lenin Anthology, but if it's a collection of shorter works like the M&E Reader then I'm sure it's good. I would get both? The Essential Works has 4 very important, longer works that aren't likely to be included in their entirety in the Anthology. In...

I doubt I said that? I probably would have shrugged because I don't care about how the proletariat destroys its enemies.

Ignoring my explanation of these things because they disprove your argument won't get you far with me. Reread the comment you quoted: "For example, the US can militarily dominate Europe, but it cannot economically dominate (Western) Europe..." Capital is an international class; the...

That's objectively false. The US' position as global military hegemon, and its position as head of a capitalist empire, are different things. For example, the US can military dominate Europe, but it cannot economically dominate (Western) Europe because most of those countries are imperialist...
