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…

On the USSR’s Dissolution
Our view of the USSR’s dissolution is mixed. We see that the USSR by 1991 was not a socialist state, but a capitalist-imperialist superpower with terrible problems in its system. If the country remained socialist, it probably would be around today, but its capitalist restoration weakened its economy by causing shortages, stagnation, and corruption, so…

Happy Birthday, Chairman Gonzalo!
This is the second birthday of Gonzalo that we will have without him, for the Peruvian state weakened his health greatly and then killed him. Gonzalo’s contributions to Marxist theory were very important; he and his comrades in the Communist Party of Peru (PCP) synthesized Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the development from Marxism-Leninism. They proved the universality of…

On The Topic Of “Totalitarianism”
If you’re an anti-communist (or better yet, a federal agent) who just happened to stumble upon this website, one of the first things that comes to your mind will probably be that we “evil commies” want to strip you of your freedoms and beat you into submission to the all-powerful state.

Why Social Democracy Doesn’t Work
If social democracy ran the way liberals say it does, I wouldn’t see a reason not to adopt it. We’d have no inequality, where everyone could be paid the same and live in a gigantic mansion. People could stop having to worry about big medical bills or those god-awful student loans, obviously, the government takes…

A Perspective on Mutualism and Market Socialism
First, let’s define our terms: Mutualism Mutualism, as a variety of anarchism, goes back to P.J. Proudhon in France and Josiah Warren in the U.S. It favors, to the extent possible, an evolutionary approach to creating a new society. It emphasizes the importance of peaceful activity in building alternative social institutions within the existing society,…

Against Revisionism, and Against Ultra-Leftism
Adopted from our in-progress book Revisionism Within Marxism-Leninism, there are many revisionist ideologies that do not represent the proletarian line. These ideologies end up helping the restoration of capitalism. Such ideologies include Khrushchevism (including other similar variants, like “Goulash Communism” in Hungary), Dengism, and Titoism. These variants are blatantly rightist in nature, and they reverse…

Social Imperialism is not Socialism
Plenty of revisionist “Marxist-Leninists” like to uphold the revisionist Union of “Soviet” “Socialist” Republics (USSR) and “People’s” Republic of China (PRC) as “socialist” regimes. While both were socialist for some time, in their later years they were in fact the opposite. Here, we will briefly explain their socialist past, how they turned capitalist, and how…
