As a Hoxhaist, I think they’ve retreated from socialism to the point they are no longer doing proletarian internationalism.

I was not so perceptive to see past the propaganda growing up. Thankfully I was curious enough to learn and unlearn later in life. I grew up an apolitical liberal, became a right winger, then a socdem, then found S4A on YouTube and became a Marxist Leninist. I’m still decolonizing my mind.

“The civil war was about States rights”… States rights to what?

Fascism is a type of imperialist government. Pre-imperialist capitalism, liberal/social democracies had some of the characteristics of fascism but not enough to warrant the term.

Tbh I feel like that’s an unfair generalization. Amongst the sea of opportunists there are real communists such as myself who show up to combat liberalism and connect with other revolutionaries. I see it as a platform to promote theory, do mutual aid, and network with people. We need to be available to answer questions when reformism inevitably leaves them disillusioned.

Capitalism developed into imperialism in about 1900 according to Lenin. Imperialism was defined interestingly not just as a type of economic model a country can have but as an age, an era. This is why even the first socialist camp didn’t have national elections because under the age of imperialism itself democracy which in its beauty is one person one vote is subverted by capital into becoming one unit money one vote. Democratic centralism / internal party democracy was seen as a way to save democracy from bourgeois subversion actually. As communists we love democracy in its fullest form in principle but where we have limited its scope was out of a concession to reality.
