Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

    Marxism-Leninism posits that we should create a working class party, study the given conditions of the country we are in (history, contradictions, class struggle) in order to correctly identify the key issues to organize around. In doing so, the working class needs to gradually choose the vanguard party, meaning a vanguard party that fails to do so is no vanguard.

    This. This right here. What is the vanguard party? Oh, it’s the party the workers rally behind! We’ll know it because the workers will rally behind it!

    Marxism is a useful analytical framework to use when looking at capitalism and alternate systems

    Ml is a belief system full of holes plastered over by no true Scottman logic. No part of it is effective in the current day and age as political guidebook, we live in an entirely different era

      Marxism-Leninism is Marxism but with Lenin’s analysis of imperialism and organizational theory, and is still applicable today as it guides some of the largest and most successful economies. It sounds like you aren’t actually sure what it is, in which case I made an intro ML reading list.

      The vanguard is just the organized segment of the advanced of the revolutionary class, essentially a popularly supported communist party.
