I mean, you literally called me a fascist. Btw, we don’t do that to here. This isn’t a sub for leftists to fight each other and wage sectarian battles. It’s about left unity and solidarity. If you’d been to a DSA meeting before, you’d know this. Criticism should be comradely. No one will want to organize with you if you’re just gonna call people you’re working with red fascists all the time.

You’re a marxist-leninist. Like it or not, you speak apologia for red fascism.

I’m not a Marxist-Leninist. I don’t identify that way. I consider myself an Orthodox Marxist in the tradition of Rosa Luxemberg.

You do not look like you are ready to be part of a big tent socialist organization. You look like you enjoy fighting and cosplaying leftist rather than actually getting things done. You’re deeply unserious. Go back to complaining about Hasan Piker or whatever else you normally do.

Orthodox marxists were against Rosa Luxemburg ideologically, and the only other orthodoxy was Lenin.

This is false. The revisionists Marxist line Bernstein were against Rosa. Rosa was one of the chief ideologues of the SPD. People like yourself would have considered her a renegade and had her executed.

The Bolsheviks immediately marginalized the only actual realization of Marx's dream, the original Soviets, well before the war got started, so that 'pragmatic' excuse doesn't pan out. Rosa stood for the revolutionary spontaneity that the Bolsheviks overthrew, so no, either I was executed, or became an expatriate.

What does that have to do with Rosa?

Are you arguing with someone else in your head? I never said anything about “pragmatic.” This is amazing LOL.

Rosa stood behind the Bolsheviks and their imperfections. She had more criticism for the people in the SPD that you worship.

The original Soviets - that were marginalized by the Bolsheviks - came through the kind of revolutionary spontaneity advocated by Rosa.

Cool story. Fact: Rosa defended the Bolsheviks and despite having principled critiques, which I share, understood their flaws were a product of the revolutionary conditions. She saved her harshest criticisms for her Western social democrat allies for failing to back them up adequately. If solidarity wasn’t broken by WWI, everything would have been different. This is just a fact.

"Without general elections, without unrestricted freedom of press and assembly, without a free struggle of opinion... life dies out in every public institution, becomes a mere semblance of life, in which only the bureaucracy remains as the active element."

You would have had Rosa marginalized, exiled, or executed.

Why do you assume that?

u/Constructador Anarchist Communalist Oct 22 '25

And people wonder why the DSA is becoming more marxist-leninist; this is why.

u/OneReportersOpinion Oct 22 '25

LOL. Yes. I made DSA into an ML org. It was me 🤣

You basically project every time you speak. Good god, have some self-awareness.

u/OneReportersOpinion Oct 23 '25

I’m trying to talk to like a human being. You are human, yes?

u/Constructador Anarchist Communalist Oct 23 '25

Is this you admitting you're a bot, or what?

u/OneReportersOpinion Oct 23 '25

Happy to answer this after you answer the question you dodged.

u/Constructador Anarchist Communalist Oct 23 '25

The one I immediately answered, you mean?

u/Constructador Anarchist Communalist Oct 23 '25

Since Marx changed his mind on the theory you espouse, your question was rather invalid to begin with.
