Down With U.S. Imperialism
With a taste of truth, anybody could see why such a reactionary institution as the U.S. government is to be burnt to the ground. As they claim to be promoting democracy, freedom, and human rights, their practical record shows that they’ve been doing anything but that. Instead, they leave a legacy of villages bombed, activists…

Socialism; The Opposite of Laziness
It is impossible to be both lazy and a socialist at the same time. Socialism isn’t something you just believe in, vote for, or, worst of all, post about on social media. Socialism is something you do. If you don’t go out into the world, agitate the masses, conduct revolution, and carry out the class struggle, then you aren’t really…

The Problem Ain’t Just “Bad Capitalists”
We frequently hear from capitalists that what problems may arise from their system come from a small clique of “bad capitalists”. The rest of the capitalist class, according to them, we should let off the hook. This is idealistic. The capitalist system itself is the problem. It causes everything that these idealists blame on “bad…

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…

Let’s Talk About Democracy
One of the explanations the bourgeoisie uses to justify their rule is that capitalism and only only capitalism can provide for a free, democratic society. In the west, many people see communism as inherently authoritarian and undemocratic. This turns out to be quite harmful. Under the banner of false democracy, it is much easier for…

Did Communism Really Kill “100 Million People”?
Whenever the bourgeoisie explains communism, they feel that it is necessary to include absurdly high death tolls for the ideology. The methods they use to get such statistics are strange; they take existing numbers of those executed, inflate them by a factor, add more deaths randomly, include deaths from starvation and other unintentional deaths, include…

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…
