here is the (unfortunately short) prolewiki article on revisionism, of which right deviation is one type. beyond the reformism example given there, the most common kind of right deviation i usually see is tailist bigotry, which includes things like promoting implicit racism or homophobia because “that’s just what people believe around here, and we need to connect with them where they are at”.

The term “globalist” is nonsense, there is no such thing, that is why i left that part out. It’s a word used by people who are not versed in Marxist theory and don’t understand that what they are describing as “globalism” is merely a manifestation of capitalist imperialism as described by Lenin.

Of course “globalist” is a nonsense term, but we can still recognize that anti-semitic conspiracies use it and see that the specific tweet that you linked to is trying to frame Stalin’s criticism of capitalism in terms of that anti-semitic conspiracy, which fundamentally undercuts the Marxist analysis that it is based on.

This “guilt by association”/“attack the messenger” thing is tedious, it’s purity-fetishist and it prevents us from taking valuable contributions wherever we find them. If you are secure enough in your own ideological position you shouldn’t be bothered by who else is saying the same thing.

I also try to read widely. It’s a good thing to do and one I strongly recommend at every opportunity. However, that doesn’t insulate you from criticism of the things you share, and certainly doesn’t excuse sharing anti-semitic conspiracy theories, which this is. It takes work to incorporate the useful parts of other ideologies into a Marxist analysis, and downplaying the bigotries of your sources is precisely the wrong way to do that.

Pointing out the fact that Trump is a Zionist and will act in the interests of Zionists is not one of those bad takes. Does the validity of a point depend on who is making it?

I fundamentally disagree with your reading of that tweet. Saying that Netanyahu is Trump’s master is very explicitly the “Jews control everything” conspiracy theory. This has been a key part of patsoc messaging around Israel the last couple of years and huge part of them trying to insert right-deviation into otherwise Marxist orgs.

Stalin is always on point, but the tweet you linked uses the word “globalist” which we should all recognize as a potential sign of anti-semitic conspiracy theory nonsense. it did not take long scrolling through their account to find this retweeted from Jackson Hinkle.

the fact that you copied their entire tweet except the sentence that has globalist in it suggests to me that you know this.

i mean, the way the supreme court has operated historically (and especially in the last few years) means they can delete basically any law they don’t like, but you are correct that the decriminalisation of homosexuality is only based on a court verdict. many states never removed the relevant laws from their books, so they could in theory be enforced again if the court changes their precedent.

i’ve only been playing factorio lately. this is my current seablock map. trying to get the train based city blocks going. i’ve got basic resources going and about to start science blocks.

The term “tankie” was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring uprising, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.

listing a whole bunch of companies to boycott results in an uncoordinated response that has little if any impact. it’s better to find the groups that have been working at this for a while like this one https://bdsmovement.net/

iirc, she was caught up with one of the US backed LGBT orgs that were somewhere between anti-communist influence campaigns and outright spying

edit: i remembered incorrectly. see the medium article posted.

he’s the moderate wing of fascism

edit: i looked up the quote, and the next line is: “After us, it’s the pitchforks.” he knows what he’s doing.

leaving aside for a moment whether the state is actually a specific form of political organization, i don’t know where you are that you are finding anarchists that are specifically and only against that. every single one i have talked to in my years of left leaning organizing have been against the state as a particularly bad example of some overarching principle, such as authority or hierarchy.

anarchism is a committed opposition to a specific form of political organization

which one?
