Trump isn’t running next election and if you haven’t noticed bro the whole thing with political discourse is people having the memory of a goldfish. Whatever economic hardship comes from this it certainly won’t change most white Americans and by extent lots of people voting republican. It literAlly just comes down to which candidate is actually popular

"PFLP Optimisticman" displaying thorough understanding of dialectical materialism by placing race over class. Kanafani would spit on you

What? For one your framing of race vs class isn’t materialist a***ysis at all. Second of all that’s not even what I said in that post. Third of all all respect to kanafani but I’m a Marxist Leninist Maoist

Thanks for letting me know but these people will have the weirdest responses to a very simple and true post

Lmfao. “In a class society everyone lives as a member of a particular class, and every kind of thinking, without exception, is stamped with the brand of a class”. Your post made it clear that you think America can escape the developing class contradictions that produce revolutionary conditions because white people have short term memory about economic hardship.

I’m sure you call yourself a Maoist. Go hide in a jungle or something

I don’t know if your quoting lenin or Marx but Lenin specifically referred to certain sections of the working class that were more aligned with the bourgeois and thus became counter revolutionary. Marxism is nowhere near as dogmatic as your making it out to be. The American working class is about as revolutionary as the Israeli working class, in that their perfectly fine with mantaining capitalism as long as they receive the spoils of other oppressed nations

The quote is from On Contradiction.

Maybe “Letter to American Workers” by Lenin will help you understand how awfully you’ve misread him, and used him to draw conclusions about an entire working class trying to assert its own popular sovereignty: https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1918/aug/20.htm

I agree Marxism is not dogmatic. You’re the one that buddies up with anti-Dengists

Oh you’re a dengist? Makes sense
Anyway like I said if you do the thing that many revisionists do where you just pull static quotes without any a***ysis you can draw literally thousands of misinterpretations of Marxism leninism.
Whether Lenin thought the American working class was revolutionary in the past when there actually was a decent sized American communist party is irrelevant

Funny, as if isolating quotes from context is not the entire game of Maoists who insist America is too exceptional for a revolution. Stalin spoke about tendencies like this.

Lenin called on the proletariat to defeat small proprietor classes from the influence and propaganda of the Big Bourgeoisie, thus understanding and communicating capitalism as a tool for transitioning towards socialism. You are off the mark entirely

Stalin said American capitalism would be a failure even under the more leftward turn of a leader like FDR which is honestly more comparable to modern day china then the Soviet Union

Anyway bro if you think the American working class is revolutionary. Guess what?? GO MAKE A REVOLUTION. Start or join a party. I wouldn’t stop you or root against you

it is nice that these "maga communist" pukes don't hide the trail between themselves and dengist/marcyist revisionism

I just told you capitalism is a tool for transitioning towards socialism and you think I don’t agree with Stalin that American capitalism would be a failure?

…

Anyways, yes, we’ll take it from here.
