Incredibly inspiring, despite being so close to the empire it’s humanity that prevails over capital.

Support for attacking Venezuela is very unpopular here in the States. Comrades here are doing great work trying to agitate against this.

You too Oppo!

Have a good week everyone!

As always, communism will win.

You too comrade!

Good luck!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Have a great week everyone! Keep up with your goals, be sure to rest if you can, you’re not alone.

As always, communism will win.

Seems it flares up every now and then.

It doesn’t look AI generated, but even if parts of it were, that doesn’t make it more or less valid.

Yep, Grad is one of the calmest instances I’ve seen. I spend a good deal of time on Lemmy.ml too, but I go there knowing it’s not really going to be a relaxing time or with high quality discussion.

Grad doesn’t defederate normally, but .world defederated from us. They can’t see us but we can see them.

Lemmy.world and the other liberal instances too.

You’re correct, what matters is what the patriotism serves, national liberation or continuation of imperialism. If your state is imperialist, you should stand against your state. If your state is imperialized, patriotism services national liberation.

I believe we are broadly aligned then, just nuances in emphasis. Thanks for explaining your position, I agree.

You too Oppo!

Yep! Grad is nice because there’s a good understanding of correct criticism and a common grounding in Marxism-Leninism. It’s an extremely chill space for me that I greatly appreciate for discussion.

While I do agree with you, it’s important to understand that they aren’t just socially reactionary, but in advocating for ultranationalism within imperialist countries, they are passively also supporting imperialism. There’s a contradiction at play between their anti-imperialism and their ultranationalism, which was the point I tried to highlight.

Their sort of MAGA Communism is ultimately based on ideas like small business, petty bourgeois quasi-socialism, socially reactionary positions, and ultranationalism within the imperial core. They would be bad enough if their only flaw was being socially reactionary, but the fact that they uphold nationalism within the imperial core betrays their supposed anti-imperialism as well, not to mention the incorrect analysis leading to the petite bourgeois focus.

I do appreciate you holding me to a higher standard though, comrade, and I mean that genuinely.

The American Communist Party (not to be confused with CPUSA) is a group of Statesian PatSocs, ie imperialist “socialists,” more akin to the German Nazi Party than anything actually communist.
