but did Luxemburg deny the need for a vanguard party altogether

from my understanding she was opposed to that type of centralization, from the organizational questions of the Russian social democracy:

Granting, as Lenin wants, such absolute powers of a negative character to the top organ of the party, we strengthen, to a dangerous extent, the conservatism inherent in such an organ. If the tactics of the socialist party are not to be the creation of a Central Committee but of the whole party, or, still better, of the whole labor movement, then it is clear that the party sections and federations need the liberty of action which alone will permit them to develop their revolutionary initiative and to utilize all the resources of the situation. The ultra-centralism asked by Lenin is full of the sterile spirit of the overseer. It is not a positive and creative spirit. Lenin’s concern is not so much to make the activity of the party more fruitful as to control the party – to narrow the movement rather than to develop it, to bind rather than to unify it.

she also talked about it in “The Russian Revolution” after they took power, chapter 5 + 6 were the relevant sections in that

Fair enough, I was basically just commenting because you invited feedback, though I’m sure you know that.

no worries, it’s welcome!

Left those blank on purpose; IMO most people ideologically committed to being in those quadrants actually belong in the top right somewhere

I think polcomp as a format should just be abandoned because it’s not helpful

I gotta agree, it really struggles to capture any nuance, rest assured this is meant to be a joke

I very strongly disagree with the characterization of Marxism as being ideologically less democratic than anarchism unless your claim is that republicanism itself is less democratic than direct democracy, which I think is a frivolous objection.

Case in point: I kind of intended anything below 0 on the y axis to be broadly opposed to the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, while positive is in support of it. Then it was to be a measure of how much it is a proletarian dictatorship vs class society being abolished.

The issue I saw is that ‘democracy’ as an axis can mean so many different things, depending on the economic and political context. This is more an artifact of how rigid the template is. As you pointed out, it doesn’t cleanly break one way or the other.

I basically agree with your placement of China, and your placement of Tito as more opposed to Dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie than Lenin is ridiculous.

Tito should probably be on the same level all the same, I honestly wasn’t thinking too hard and had him and Teto next to eachother at one point before re-arranging things.

some days I just can’t help causing trouble

I also have to the right of because the x axis reflects willingness to radically change the system vs reform it

that checks.

I made a bunch of pickles earlier this year without even realizing it was a stereotype

quoting an older response I saw to you here:

you just sort of say your thing and move on, even if you pose yourself as seeking conversation. This is exemplified by how you constantly say the same things unprompted over and over even when not a single person has responded positively to some of it, and there’s no apparent effort to change what you’re saying to even account for that, even if it’s just presenting an argument differently (though normally you don’t even really argue, you just declare).

you did that same sort of behavior about the ongoing genocide and got banned.

you go into a Marxist/anarchist space and act confused when people react negatively to someone pushing a reformist social democrat line.

YDI.

If you want to get banned just start insulting people like the op.

additionally feel free to let your fashy friends know that I’m on payroll for both Putin AND Xi for my sfw online posting activities. I also collect checks from George Soros for in-person work that upsets conservatives.

it’s important to have multiple income streams 💅

could you explain how that’s not covered by the categories I listed

it’s a Marxist/anarchist space, and tankie is not a meaningful term, it’s an epithet for punching left. if you’re expressing contrition maybe stop acting like every other social democrat shitter running around here.

‘people I disagree with are bots.’

beep boop I guess

Wasn’t me, but you can post in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com if you want discussion of a moderation action you received.

I would have probably given you a temp ban, but considering you just got banned from a hexbear account for the same sort of activity and are now complaining about ‘tankies’ in this very thread, that would probably have been too kind.

secondly, i sincerely promise to act in good faith and learn a bit more when it comes to socialism/communism. i sincerely hope you forgive me.

do you think hexbear is run by tankies who DIDN’T realize that you DON’T have to support stalin to support marxism-leninism?

hmmmm sounds like good faith to me

whomst among us hasn’t gotten accidentally addicted to a gacha game… several times

I swear I’m clean now, don’t touch the stuff

so many threads come with a call to action too, makes it impossible to take these losers seriously when they complain about brigading

I don’t think you deserve anything else, tbh

i stg, using images from different points in time

trotsky 1919

stalin 1919

progressive and communist seem like more meaningful words to describe me

…violating my rights and putting me and my loved ones in senseless danger.

tbh this kinda signals that you see politics through the framework of individual rights, not systems of class or domination.

broadly speaking, do you think the problem is bad politicians or the state and capital as systems?

I kept getting banned, got tired of making accounts. this place has its issues, but reddit is worse

Someone @'d me because I was banned, so I let them know I had already made a post about it.

the mod in question already had made it clear they had no interest in moderating themself based on reports, so I made a comment, and was banned for it.

I default sort by new comments as it bumps small communities to the top.

Both of the threads were literally at the top of my /all and I happened to comment about its misogynistic title in one minutes before the other, the horror.
