How I understand the "invariance" of marxism, as articulated in the theory of the italian left:

How this is useful for differentiating between firmly communist practice and opportunist practice:

The general marxist view on class struggle:

Elaboration on how this extends to post-left anarchists:

Critique of anarchists and marxist-leninists from a left-communist perspective:

Can you elaborate on what “directly” is supposed to mean here?

Hi i read your proposal and I was wondering why you support green social democracy instead of communism

maintained that democracy is inseparable from the state, and that it becomes superfluous as the state withers away.

Since this individual blocked me instead of engaging with direct citations, I will post more to reaffirm my point; Bordiga and Lenins positions on democracy were identical in substance.

While Lenin was certainly more flexible in his usage of democratic rhetoric, he (like Marx and Engels) always-

Whats up?

Lenin and Bordiga had the same position on this. For both of them, the DOTP is a semi-state which contains both democratic forms, and the non-democratic relations of communism. Similarly, both of them maintain that the non-democratic tendency of the DOTP is expressed in party dictatorship:

Any experienced activist can tell you that ideological distinctions melt away when they hit the streets, they always find themselves side by side with the anarchists, the trotskyists, the maoists, etc.

This speaks volumes about how empty their “theoretical” frameworks are.

I reckon you’re not fond of party dictatorship, so speaking from intuition it seems like the latter would be more consistent with the views of a council communist

What is the point in accepting organic centralism if you do not center the party in your understanding of transition? If the party isnt what prefigures/anticipates communism, what does it matter if it’s structured on the lines that groups like the ICT promote

Some complaints about opportunism

Why would you prefer Bordiga to Damen as a council communist?

Sorry, what is “democratic centralist stagism” here?

“The “Communist Manifesto” clearly pointed out the different measures are to be grasped as gradually possible and "despotic" - because the road to complete communism is very long - in dependence upon the level of development of the productive forces in the country” - Bordiga

Whats the most antisemitic moment?

I think if we're at any point where it's possible to posit a program we need to make 0 concessions to anything that isn't communist. We need a communist program and that alone

nigga why do you care about Bordiga then shut up 😂

If you are experiencing an uptick in sleepless nights right now, here are some of my “slept 3 hrs must function” tips:

*Your brain doesn’t work well when you sleep bad. Any judgements it makes about you as a person are sus. Aka: don’t believe the negative self-evaluations.

*More generally, be kind

You can't distinguish between your friends and enemies as long as you don't have a shared understanding of what youre opposing, and in what ways it should be opposed.

The communist program separates the wheat from the chaff. Either you fully commit to the proletariat, or you're a class enemy.

Right now your group is just a community of internet activists that is loosely stringed together by populism and a vague opposition to "corporate greed" - if this group is well-intending, it needs to organize study groups on the history of the labor/communist movement, and on Marxism.
