There is no joke. I don't see why Stalin would be an untrustworthy authority on communist ideology. Based on the books I've read of his, he seems to be very trustworthy in his analysis and explanation of the ideology of communism and socialism.

I see no reason why Stalin would be an untrustworthy authority on communist ideology.

No. What many Marxist-Leninists, at least, don't like about Trotskyist is their extremely flawed ideology.

I recommend you read this book that further explains the problems with Trotskyism: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1924/11_19.htm

I'm not in Quebec, but there is a group called "Parti communiste du Québec (PCQ)," which is a Marxist-Leninist party.

@Binette

To make it simple, here are 2 things that are wrong with Trotskyists:
#Socialism #Communism #Marxism #Leninism #Trotskyism

Me seeing other Communists giving out literature: 😃

Me after realizing that they're a part of the RCP (a.k.a Revolutionary Communist Party, a.k.a Trotskyists): 😩

It's sad that Lenin already explained this in his "Left-Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder" 104 years ago, yet Communists are still making the same mistakes.

I blocked mistahbenny. There's no point talking to them. They've already made up their mind on the matter.

@mistahbenny

This is what I hate about people who are vehemently anti-communist. They can look at a picture displaying the atrocities of fascism and then, instead of demonizing the horrific acts of fascism, decide to change the subject to talk about how evil communism is.

Anti-communist looking at picture of the Holocaust: "Man, I sure do hate communism."

[Saying that there's no such thing as a state that's more authoritarian or less authoritarian is denying reality.]

To clarify, that's not what I said. I said that there is no such thing as a non-authoritarian state because states are authoritarian by nature, not that there aren't varying degrees of the level of authoritarianism among different states. America is in many ways less authoritarian than the USSR, but it's still authoritarian nonetheless.

[immediate transition is not only possible in theory but actually has some precedent]

– How is it possible in theory, and what precedent does it have?

[expecting a transitional state to actually continue the transition is even less rational than expecting Jesus to show up and start helping]

Why?

@Aatube @yogthos @NoiseColor

I'm not at all trying to suggest that Stalinist Russia was more free than modern-day America, just that many people think of America as a free country when it's actually closer to Stalinist Russia than they'd care to recognize.
