Wait….. what did you mean by those?
are you against an armed revolution?
are you accusing me of being some paid shill? that shit doesn't fit here even as a joke. This feels concerning.
Explain yourself and go play something better, like the Zero Escape series.

Are you claiming that communism will come if we start killing rightwingers ,agent John
ok

OP here
On 3) You imply that Marxist economics is a settled matter. Do you follow Cockshott or what? I'm not skeptical about anticapitalism lmao the question is what to put in the place of capitalism. "Adapting from country to country" is too vague: adapt how, and to what?
On 4) Of course the question of communism has implications for the developed countries. Maybe we leave the model of revolution (just putting this out there as an open question), but to rule out changing the most powerful political orders is to rule out communism. Are you saying we need 3rd world revolutions first? Or to support China? Confused here.
5) Yes they will but the question is how to make a winning party.
7) On science: well no I don't consider myself a leftist because Left/Right is an inadequate analysis imo. Still, you ask as though this question is settled for Marxists. Where can I read the settled opinion? Just read dialectics of nature?
9) Are you saying to participate in Burger elections like the Democrat Cops of America is? What about the idea that we don't have time to try and win electorally. Even then, we have to get people to vote for us lmao how do we do that? Same response to 10)
1) Well, why have nationalism at all? Are you simply suggesting that people prefer those who are similar to them (especially in race) and that this is something we need to take into account? I'm fine with this we don't have to make everyone sing kumbaya it's just that we have to stop nationalism from preventing international cooperation. My pet goal is to compromise with ethno nationalists through space travel- why not make Jupiter's moon Europa the white nationalist territory? If people want to just live with people of their race it's fine, we just have to organize our resources so that this can come about for all people not just one group.
I agree with you on the LGBTQ+ question.
5) I don't disagree but I think we need to formulate what it means to abolish private property better. For example something I think of is how property means characteristics as well as possessions. So IDpol (all stripes) is an outgrowth of trying to maintain private properties in the sense of characteristics: "being-white" or "being-queer" become the building blocks of "social capital" (this is just a metaphor I'm not saying it's literally the same as material property). Thus our drive to abolish private material property could go along with abolishing private characteristic property in the sense of alleviating the need for people to define themselves in distinction. This would be accomplished by creating a collaborative order that would let people express themselves as opposed to our current alienated/terrifying order.
Yes, radicalizing people is obviously the move. But how, and into what? I don't doubt that this will come to blows, but to me the way to win is to formulate what we are for and also to formulate ideas that meet the "needs" of right-wing people better than the right can. For example by showing that each nation is better off under internationalism than by pursuing the fantasy of sovereignty. It's ideas like this which will help us bleed the numbers and morale of the right wing death squads, and each militarized right-winger we win over is like recruiting 2 liberals or even better.
You joke but I agree that communists have to take the history of "really-existing" communism into account. Still, ideally we win this point by showing that capitalism keeps many people hungry who don't need to be, and we can end hunger and poverty easily through global communism.
I don't use them. To me if the intel agencies want to get you they can, even murder you in a way where no one would suspect them. We can't live in the shadows forever. I do agree that the user you replied to is a moron. My official stance and true opinion is that I don't want to see a single person killed. That's why I emphasize the role of changing minds and showing how communism is the way forward regardless of separate interests. Obviously the powerful have brutal self-interest in mind but even then I think communism is the best way for them to gain security and maintain a world worth living in. Yes, this is a naive appeal to the humanity of the bourgeoisie, but my mentality is very much about preventing a new world war. Even if a war comes, as I said the way to win is to divide the ruling class and gain some support there, while being able to build a popular front based on common understandings. We need to build toward those things regardless of our military outlook.
My mom thinks I'm cool
I actually agree that an armed revolution is probably not what will win us the day. Even if you think that, remember Sun Tzu's saying that you have to know yourself and the enemy to gain victory. To me this thread was about finding those areas where we need to do more research and find creative innovations

.>What about the idea that we don't have time to try and win electorally
Most winning parties take power in ten years from their creation, so i don’t think the ice will melt until then
We just need a good speaker
Well we first have to change a lot of things is a hard question
We need to expand the ''public" sector in order to give workers more power
We need to change education (i like the soviet model)
We need to create worker battalions with rightards(to build our cool statues)
etc…
No one can know
About what country are we talking about???
Any revolution will fail and the rebels will be considered terrorist in a western 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧democracy🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
so elections…
In general we just need to unify the leftist parties, try to use populism and capitalist problems(crisis, unemployment) to highlight the alternative, make deals with anarchists and hope for the best..
