Solidarity with the Korean People Against Imperialism! For a Socialist Korea!
Recent news shows that tensions between the United States of America (USA) and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) have risen. Korea is attacked for its nuclear testing while the US provokes those tests with geopolitical maneuvers in South Korea. Across the world, imperialists condemn the DPRK and invent all sorts of lies against…

Women Hold up Half the Sky!
March 8 is International Women’s Day. On this day in 1917, the February Revolution started as female workers protested over the rationing measures that the Russian Empire implemented for World War 1. While that revolution was only a bourgeois-democratic revolution, the proletariat and peasantry were heavily involved in it, and they were able to build…

“Human Nature” Don’t Mean Crap
In one of our first articles, we debunked the idea that communism does not work. One part of the common claim says that communism “requires perfection” that cannot be achieved because “human nature” is always greedy and prone to selfishness or even inclined to capitalism. However, neither part is true. Human nature is not necessarily…

“Vuvuzela Stinky, Socialism Bad”
This is one of the funniest one-liners reactionaries use to attack socialism and fool workers into opposing it. People assume that Venezuela was doing really well under “laissez-faire” capitalism and only got bad when “socialists” took power and enacted welfare policies; they say Venezuela turned “socialist” after the “United Socialist Party of Venezuela” took power…

Socialist China’s Successes
I felt that we had neglected China’s successful application of socialism compared to how much we covered the implementations in the USSR and Albania. That is why we shall make this post. (We will borrow heavily from our almost-done book.) The CPC liberated China from the KMT’s government in 1949, founding the People’s Republic of…

On iPhones
We announce the dissolution of this project. A great person has informed us that communists use iPhones, something Marx said not to do; if we can’t get rid of them, we can’t have communism. Long live capitalism! The claim that communists should simply stop using products made in capitalist society since we oppose the exploitation…

In Defense of Socialism in One Country
Excerpts from our in-progress book Socialism in one country is a concept that Joseph Stalin contributed to Marxism-Leninism. Socialism can be constructed in one country, contrary to the idea that the revolution must be spread to the whole world before socialism is actually constructed and its relations of productions are established. While many Marxists believed…

The People’s (Socialist) Republic of Albania
Partly adapted from our in-progress book Today, January 10th (in CET), is the 77th anniversary of socialist Albania’s founding. The Albanian people struggled during World War 2 against feudalism, bureaucratic-comprador capitalism, and imperialism, in particular the imperialism of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. The Party of Labor of Albania courageously led the partisans of its…

https://www.quora.com/profile/Omar-Elsayed-98 Socialist transition is a term used to refer how a socialist state must economically and politically transition from capitalism to socialism. It is a necessary stage in the development of socialism, but what must be developed under capitalism? There are two things to consider when talking about socialist transition: What do these terms mean?…
