    The modern revisionists and reactionaries call us Stalinists, thinking that they insult us and, in fact, that is what they have in mind. But, on the contrary, they glorify us with this epithet; it is an honor for us to be Stalinists for while we maintain such a stand the enemy cannot and will never force us to our knees.

  • You’re framing this wrong. Communism is not an eldritch abomination. Capitalism is the monster. Marxism is the tool we use to understand capitalism and fight it.

    People know they’re in a shitty world and one false step away from poverty. What understanding capitalism shows is that this isn’t simply the individual’s fault; it’s a collective structural challenge. This can be scary if you were under the illusion that you were the sole author of your destiny, but most people aren’t that deluded.

    Looking capitalism through Marxism brings understanding and organization to what is otherwise disordered harmful phenomenon that all to often is either ignored (and the individual blamed) or only understood through reactionary conspiracy goggles.
