Actually, this town has more than enough room for the two of us

He/him or they/them, doesn't matter too much

Marxist-Leninist ☭

Interested in Marxism-Leninism, but don't know where to start? Check out my Marxist-Leninist study guides, both basic and advanced!

  • That's a good idea, adding answers! I can't do nested spoilers in Lemmy's markdown (I think), but that might be something to consider. Thanks!

  • That's really sweet of you to share, and to say! I really like that drawing, it really gets across how beloved Lenin was and how gentle he was. Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts, even if it was a "ramble" as you say they were still valuable to read. I don't mind at all, and hope you have a wonderful day!

  • I don't know if I would consider myself a "good agitator," I stick with Lemmy.ml, Lemmygrad.ml, and Hexbear.net, but some rules I try to follow:

    1. Debate is largely useless, and most of the time people looking for one are unwilling to change their mind. Use that to your advantage, and treat their argument as a springboard for you to make a compelling argument to the audience, like Lenin with Kautsky.

    2. Don't let the hatred and slander of reactionaries get to you. They are almost certainly wrong, and you can discard their "critique" as a meteorologist would the opinion of a Flat Earther.

    3. Try to speak only on what you know. Don't argue for the sake of it, if you aren't solid in your knowledge it will backfire. At best you'll be misleading others, at worst a reactionary will catch your mistake and have a free soapbox.

    4. Try to have a dialectical approach to education and knowledge. You can learn more via practice, and by seeking a multi-sided view. Don't view yourself as an infallable teacher, but as a fellow student in a study circle.

    5. Try to agitate among the most willing to hear new ideas. If it's for Lemmy, agitate in communities opposing Reddit decisions. If it's for communism, do so among disaffected liberals disappointed or outraged by their current conditions and seeking radical change.

    I want to say that no amount of development is "wasted," it teaches and changes us into who we are today. We do not exist outside of that context, even if things don't work out the way we want or plan. Hope that helps!

  • Hey comrade, just wanted to point out that I made a brand-new basic course as my most up-to-date reading guide. I recommend using this one going forward, the original is getting revamped into a modular, advanced list.

  • Thank you so much, that's incredibly humbling to hear! The fact that a guide I made has actually had real-world benefits and utility is what makes continuing to maintain it worth it. Will definitely ping you!

  • Will do! Still trying to trim it and finalize the list, but will ping you once I'm done!

  • Some, but my goal is instead to condense the first several sections into one month-long course, not just an expansion of section 0. I notice that a lot of people seem to drop off the later in the guide they go, so I want to have 2 guides, one barebones and one comprehensive. The current guide will be restructured so as to be more thorough, and the new will be stripped down as much as possible without losing clarity.

  • Thank you so much! I'm actually about to put out a much smaller guide too, as a sort-of absolute basics guide, so if that sounds more up your alley then I'll be sure to ping you when it drops!

    As always, communism will win.
