puerto rican independence party only trailing 2 points in polls

gonna watch this soon

it surprisingly did not suck, though I would sooner watch something like The Spook Who Sat By the Door

There was a massive controversy about this movie I’m trying to remember what it was about

were there any other non authoritarian communist leaders past allende?!

when pac said "I love payin rent when the rent's due", ill be honest, I did not feel that

"authoritarianism" is not a real thing, its just a post-cold war synonym for "totalitarianism". the basic idea doesn't hold up under any scientific scrutiny, all governments are class dictatorships.

seen it like 3 times, its a great movie thats overall very sympathetic to the BPP/Fred Hampton and the violent brutality that the state inflicts against well organized forces. obviously its not perfect politics but entertainment wise id rate it 9/10

whatever you wanna call it you know what i mean, but i did just read about marx saying ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’ yesterday

You shouldn’t worry about that because anti communist propaganda can make anything authoritarian and therefore bad

fair

I dont know what you mean, be more specific

Add Lenin’s State and Revolution to your reading, it addresses that question

the general western framing of communism is that it’s always ‘totalitarian’

right but thats a conspiracy theory. in reality socialism was the first truly democratic system for the masses since people's political involvement no longer hinged on whether they would starve to death or have a roof over their heads at night.

fear monger and scapegoat so the proletariat fight against each other rather than realizing who the true enemy is yes

almost finished w ‘marx was right’ by eagleton, really good stuff

marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1872/10/authority.htm also check this one out, this argument is really really old and this is a short and sweet text on it

remember the episode of the office where Prison Mike tries to explain the extreme plight of those trapped inside America's concentration camps for black ppl and we the audience are supposed to look at him like he's crazy

mindy kaling is going to hell

totalitarian is a weird word which means nothing 90% of the time but other 10% its used correctly it’s from Gramsci or like Hayek

Zaptista movement maybe

garbage definitions Lenin vanguard is created in context of emerging mass movements to take advantage of the momentum and push it forward rather than stagnate into trade union consciousness and decay

read Left wing communism an infinitle fisorder though over recommended by people who have no idea what’s it about to dunk of left communisms it actually does address this type of question

All revolutionary parties are authoritarian
