i do think israel and palestine should both agree on a permanent ceasefire, and by that they WON’T fight anymore, and israel will definitely NOT commit genocide anymore. this would probably give people in palestine enough time to overthrow israel’s government and merge that country with palestine.

but even if the country of israel violates that ceasefire and continues genociding people, there’s still gonna be a revolution. just saying. seriously!

can i condemn stalin’s betryal and bureaucratization of the ussr while supporting marxism-leninism, and can i call ml “orthodox leninism”?

you mean forming that micronation?

shhh, DON’T say that, you’re gonna get the hexbear people angry!

what do you mean by that?

can you explain how there are multiple political parties in a coalition in some aes countries?

ie: china has minor parties that run with the ruling party, working under a ‘united front’ - they call these parties ‘democratic parties’:

1. the communist party of china (the main party)
2. left-kuomintang (left-wing nationalism - the three principles of the people in a socialist perspective)
3. china democratic league (originally big-tent centrists, now supports socialism - consisting of mostly mid-to-senior-level intellectuals - i’d call it the ‘tech party’)
4. china national democratic construction association (supports socialism, consisting of entrepeneurs and economic experts - i’d call it the ‘economy party’)
5. china association for promoting democracy (supports socialism, consisting of high-level intellectuals - i’d call it the ‘cultural party’)
6. chinese peasants’ and workers’ democratic party (founded by left-wing members of the kuomintang, supports socialism - consisting of medicine experts - i’d call it the ‘health party’)
7. china zhi gong party (originally multi-party federalists, now supports socialism - consisting of overseas Chinese people who just came back, as well as people with overseas connections - i’d call it the ‘returning expat party’)
8. jiusan society (supports socialism, consistings of mid-to-high-level intellectuals - i’d call it the ‘education party’)
9. taiwan democratic self-goverance league (founded by surviving members of the taiwanese communist party, supports socialism - consisting of advocates for Chinese unification between the mainland and the island of taiwan and such)

the dprk meanwhile has a few parties in the now-defunct ‘united democratic fatherland front’ coalition (dissolved back in 2024 because kim jong-un changed his mind on korean reunification):

1. the workers’ party of korea (the main party, juche fanatics)
2. the korean social democratic party (the social democrats - they wanted the country to be a bit more moderate)
3. the chondoist chongu party (the pantheist ‘cheondoist’ socialists - pretty self-explanatory)
4. chongryon (representing the zainichi koreans)

1. i understand - “marxinist” is a bit weird, and again, some people would probably say ‘you’re saying ‘marxist’ all wrong!’
2. i agree
3. what about the one-party part of aes (china and the dprk has multiple political parties, but they’re in a socialist coalition)
4. what about audiobooks?
5. what about a coalition of like-minded socialist parties (like consisting of a council communist party, a social democratic party, a liberal socialist party, a De Leonist party and a mutualist party)?
6. can a country be socialist AND federal (like the ussr or yugoslavia)?

what about libertarian socialists/communists?

that last part, i was venting my frustrations with hexbear - especially the more hardline admins and mods there. seriously!

1. i think ‘marxinist’ sounds a bit good, but people would probably think ‘you’re saying ‘marxism’ wrong!’
2. sure aes may have its faults, but i think vietnam and laos are my favorite examples of aes.
3. i can boil down my socialist views to simply democratic socialism (or ‘centrist marxism’ (according to leftvalues)).
4. are there any ways to learn about marxism without losing focus? sure, i like reading, but i DON’T wanna lose focus after a few sentences in. i prefer videos.
5. okay
6. okay
7. is there a form of communism that claims liberal democracy under the socialist spectrum (as in multiple like-minded parties from across the socialist spectrum from communism to mutualism)? i think council communism and eurocommunism both come into mind.

are you saying that the best course of action is to form an alternative socialist government of the united states as a micronation called the ‘federal socialist republic of america’?

what about the gulag and mass imprisonment stuff under stalin?

1. are there any alternatives to the term “tankie”? maybe ‘marxinist’ (a combination of ‘marx’ and ‘leninist’), perhaps?

2. aes?

3. i see hexbear as more of a hardline communist-type instance; whenever i tell people that i’m left-libertarian, sometimes i get comments saying that left-libertarianism is a contradiction, when really it’s a bit different than right-libertarianism. i also get called a ‘shitlib’ by some for my socialist views (market socialist, welfarist, minarchist, georgist, multi-party politics under the socialist spectrum, dual party-union power - that can technically interpreted as democratic socialism in some way).

4. i DIDN’T even realize that what i said is technically “imperialist dogma”, and i apologize for that. it’s just that i’m learning, and i’m looking for resources on marxism and such.

5. where’s the “news megathread”, and what about the “general site”?

6. i signed up for lemmygrad.ml - it’s okay.

7. i understand that the ussr is decentralized, but the general secretary of the communist party of the ussr is pretty much the leader in general. i do think that there should’ve been multiple political parties (in the socialist spectrum) in the soviet government. seriously!

what alternative to the term “tankie” do you prefer?

well marxism-leninism is a variation of both marxism AND leninism, although developed by joseph stalin in the 1920s. there’s a difference between the ideology and stalin’s actions as leader of the ussr from 1924 to 1953. seriously!

i called it a feud because of huge tensions between israel and palestine, but i realize that that was an understatement that’s a bit insensitive.

that said, do you think hexbear is run by tankies who DIDN’T realize that you DON’T have to support stalin to support marxism-leninism?

so i can support a synthesis of marxism and leninism without supporting the actions of stalin?

so who would lenin want as a successor if NOT stalin, bukharin, trotsky or the person you mentioned?

so lenin would prefer a troika instead?

who do you think would’ve made a great successor to lenin, other than bukharin or trotsky?
