Because that's Marcist-lenisim?
Stalin named it, and he's the one that set the definition of what that means.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism%E2%80%93Leninism
They don't call it "Stalinism" because that's way harder to defend.
The ones you see online don't even understand it, it literally requires supporting the left most party, but I've never seen a .ml account actually pushing for change thru the two party system, despite that literally being the first step:
Most people online that say they're "ML" don't understand anything about it. They "learned" all they know from unsourced shitposts.
Which is crazy, because this is the closest actual ML has ever come, after trump the Dems are most likely to gain so many seats, it'll effectively be a one party government starting 2029.
If we get a progressive Dem that will name a progressive DNC chair after becoming president, we're fucking there. A one party government that's genuinely for the proletariat.
Any that claims to actually be ML and isn't pushing for the DNC as hard as possible right now is lying about their self professed label, or never understood what it meant
Disclaimer I'm not from the states.
Believing the Democratic Party will in anyway abolish or even threaten capitalism is laughable. Even the most "left" (I don't like the left/right axis) politicians in America are at most social-democrats and are more likely to actually enact social liberal policies. The democrats will never pose an actual threat to capitalism.
The republicans are much more enamored with the status quo, but the democrats won't resolve the structural contradictions the USA (and the west) faces.
I'm not talking about "the party" I'm talking about the DNC...
And the DNC is basically a dictatorship run under the chair, for four years they're accountable to no one and for a long string of chairs that's worked out horribly.
When a Dem becomes president, they name a DNC chair. Meaning the last one was obvious a neoliberal appointed by Biden and thats why they didn't let us have a primary.
Right now the DNC chair is legitimately nonbiased. They won't say shit till after the primary, and support everyone equally that goes to a general.
That means, ML should be pushing really really hard for a progressive Dem in the presidential primary, one who they believe will appoint someone explicitly progressive as chair.
Like, if you think the literal first step in ML invalidated the whole thing...
I'm just explaining what their plan is, go to .ml and tell them that you believe their entire plan is fundamentally flawed and if they agree, ask them why they still say they're ML.
this is hilarious and sad to read at the same time
It definitely caused a predictable reaction from .ml accounts
Cognitive dissonance is pretty hard to deal with when people actually know what your ethos says.
Give em time tho, some day they'll be just as good at it as modern Christians or maga.
Most people are fed up with your binary libshit politics, nobody cares about your manufactured culture war of lgbt vs christians. Keep living in your comfort zone which your govt is providing you by bombing schools in middle east.
It's weird how many 1 month old accounts have such serious issues with me...
I'm wondering where that came from tho, that's a new one
I joined lemmy in 2023, one account was gone because it was on lemm.ee instance, another account I made on .zip was banned by admin because he didnt like some of my comments
Can I get an answer?
What is your question? you are the type who believes fascism can be voted away and so support the establishment parties who manufacture culture wars.
