Every single time it has been implemented it has been a success; drastically improving the conditions of the vast majority of the lives of the people in those countries, establishing the world’s most proven successful education system, offering the only avenue for nations to escape imperialism, overthrow occupation, and develop up and out of poverty from under conditions of exploitation, eliminating unemployment, progressing science and culture more than ever before in their nation’s timeline of existence, and providing the most value-efficient and successful healthcare systems the world has ever seen.

Continuing to this day, Marxist-Leninist governments remain, in nearly every case, the absolute best government in their respective nation’s entire histories — especially for the poor and minorities — and are deeply missed by the majority of people that lived under communism (and no longer do), who also overwhelmingly regret it’s end. Communists saved the world from Hitler and fascism,

The empire produces its vile miasma as a result of its normal operations, and when left to simmer in the heat, this toxic waste congeals into a form of life of its own: today, this form of life is the ACP, or American Communist Party.

I recently wrote an essay on Vietnam's liberation struggle and how they built a revolutionary movement to fight, for decades, against the French, the Japanese, the French again, and the US troops.

There are interesting parallels to be made with the latest venture from the certified communism-is-petty-bourgeois patsocs, which I will go into. I notice that while the community on Lemmygrad generally knows about the ACP, this remains surface level -- if you live in the US, you unfortunately have no choice but to take these enemies seriously.

I'm going to quickly recap how Ho Chi Minh built a movement, but it's generally the same as any ML party in history, and the reason they do so is because it works.

1. A movement is built over decades, strengthened,

He is often cited by anti communists as evidence that the KPD and the Nazi’s collaborated, especially from his book Out of the Night

Seeing the conversations around this topic in the post Most Western Parties Are Ossified and Failures I thought some folks might find value in this organizing guide created by USU. It draws from numerous articles they’ve written about organizing ML orgs from the ground up.

Regarding recent actions, such as the numerous instances of arson and gunfire targeting Tesla's vehicles and factories, as well as the recent attack on SAIF CEO Chip Terhune's home, do you believe that these acts of resistance help further the cause, or do they risk undermining the broader movement? How do you view the effectiveness of such actions in sending a message versus escalating the conflict or perpetuating further corporate contention or militancy? Should these actions continue?

It's dire, and I don't have a ready-made solution beyond "just make your own party comrade ez". It's not that ez.

Most western parties are completely ossified, existing only to justify their existence (a paradox) and capture well-meaning, engaged comrades into perpetual ineffectual tailism.

As some EU/US parties are now celebrating their 75th or even 100th anniversary, we are reminded that they have achieved absolutely nothing in those 100 years, so what's there to celebrate? When someone pointed that out to me, it suddenly got the gears turning in my head and all made sense.

EU (broadly european, not European Union) parties have basically all turned to eurocommunism after 1991. They became heavily dependent on soviet funding in the 20th century and when the funds dried up, they had nothing left to show for it. When you look at the history of these parties, you can see the eurocommunism though already back in the 20th century. CPUSA particularly is just one mistake after another thr

The results of this study suggest that both socialist governance and economic development play a role in improving the physical quality of life in a nation. These are important findings for policy makers in the developing world because knowing what policies actively benefit the living standards of the general populace is extremely valuable.

Ignoring overall moral judgements and issues such as civil liberties, it seems as though the policies employed by the socialist nations in regards to health care and education have been successful at improving overall living standards among their people. This would suggest that these policies are worthy of further research, especially for other developing nations who may want to replicate or adapt some of these policies.

The significance of the economic development factor is also of interest. The significance of both independent variables suggests that socialism in addition to economic development would create the best quality of life outcome

It’s based on the writings of professor Cheng Enfu, President of the Academy of Marxism at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) and Director of the Academic Division of Marxist Studies of CASS.

Socialism and communism are not one and done processes. They are gradual changes, both Marx and Lenin have addressed this extensively. We can’t just instantly press the big communism button unfortunately.

Here’s a paper that goes way more in depth on the professor’s definitions: https://guilfordjournals.com/doi/pdf/10.1521/siso.2022.86.2.159

Basically, I can't afford university tuition and I know it might be an absolutely weird thing to ask for in Lemmygrad, but I was hoping maybe someone can help me. I used to be active here a year ago. But life have some turns, but maybe you guys can help. I really want to pursue an education, but I can't really afford it.

But any help would be appreciated!

And sharing this post would help too! Thank you so much!
