Revolutionary greetings! I am a revolutionary communist activist from the State of Wisconsin.

Besides that, I am also a transgender woman who is interested in history, philosophy, sociology, and many other social sciences.

The most "investigation" these people do is read an article on Wikipedia and declare themselves an expert on the topic. Anyone with even the most basic amount of experience in real world activism would know that the capitalism of Lenin's time is still the capitalism of today, even if it has gone some minor visual alterations (e.g. direct colonialism becoming semi-colonialism).

People who dismiss educated and prolific revolutionaries on the basis of "they lived 100 years ago" do not deserve serious engagement.

Thank you. I made a lot of mistakes as an adolescent.

Nashville Sit-ins Begin (1960) - Novo General Megathread for the 13th-19th of February 2026

The Nashville Sit-Ins were among the earliest non-violent direct action campaigns that targeted Southern racial segregation in the 1960s. The sit-ins, which lasted from February 13 to May 10, 1960, sought to desegregate downtown lunch counters in Nashville, Tennessee. The protests were coordinated by the Nashville Student ...

I am happy to hear that! My anxiety medication seems to be working too.

I agree.

I consider Hexbear even letting me in was a sign of trust, but perhaps you are right.

    I do not deny being the same person who is in that page. I am here to interact in good-faith with other leftists without arguing over ideological differences. I am sorry you are assuming ill-intent on my part, but this question is raised in good-faith and not to provoke any drama.

    I am asking a good-faith question. It would be appreciated if you could respond in good-faith too.

    This seems more like an attempt to justify foreign imperialism as opposed to repress domestic revolutionaries. DSA by itself is no threat to the US bourgeoisie and people like Mamdani are impotent social democrats.

    I mean, he is a good linguist, just never really particularly good as a political activist.

    A lot of Maoists are snake-bitten (for lack of a better term) with Parenti because he seems to have supported the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact after de-Stalinization. I think that Parenti had some good things to say and his works do hold value if read critically, which is why I occasionally do read him. I have never read that work, but I really should considering how often it is recommended by communists.

    They consider China imperialist and said the USSR never achieved socialism and was capitalist actually. I thought these people only existed online.

    What definition of "imperialism" are they using? Did they use the term "social-imperialist" at all? These people exist in real life, albeit confined to very comfy armchairs in isolated book clubs, detached from the masses.

    They also said AES is a Brezhnevite revisionism and only 2 maybe 3 places have ever achieved socialism but didn't say which ones.

    To be fair, it did originate in Brezhnev's Soviet Union, but regarding socialism as ever happening at all is strange for "left" communists. Most of them argue that socialism never existed in my experience.

    Looks like you have Bordigists who can't even be consistent with their own ideology. I am sorry to hear that.

    It is one thing to recognize the system is problematic. It is another to want to meaningfully change it.

    The amount of mental gymnastics conservatives go through to support their favorite rich pedophiles is absurd. A conservative family member literally reacted to me talking about Trump's involvement in the Epstein files by saying "so what?"

    -Nazis killed around 15 million

    A gross understatement which borders on Holocaust denial.

    I just learned that my grandfather has Parkinson's Disease which is giving him dementia. My uncle (who himself is aging) is living with him to help out, but he may need some additional assistance from my immediate family.

    I used to be suspected of having ADHD when I was a schoolchild. Turns out it was autism.
