They are not kinda trotskyists, they are trotskyists. They are not conservadores, they are the most progressive party in the country. They are for right to abortion, legalization of drugs, same sex marriage, end of exploitation of woman, etc etc. What they are against (and thats where people get those ideas you pointed) is censorship, and in Brasil you have lots (and if you count the famous ones, all of them) of indentitarian movements infiltrated by CIA agenda points, asking to sendo people to jail amd censor them. A good example is the minister for human rights: Police gets into the slums and kill 30 people (guess their color) he says nothing, but some guy calls a fuebol player a monkey and he asks for the guy to be imprisioned. They defended gay people way before it was cooler, way before CIA took the movement over. Theres a particular case when a researcher found out that a very important person from the black movement (from the colonization time) was gay. People from the Black movement got pissed and asked for him to be censored and even beaten. PCO didnt agree with his thesis but they defended his right to say that and offered to shield him from the aggressions. The point is, their agenda is to bring forth communism, and it includes freedom of speech. When people ask them to betray this objective in order to support some identitarian movement thats asking for censorship, they say no. Does that make them anti lgbt?
Yeah, get out with this shit. Stop trying to push PCO here.
Lots of accusations here and your use of “identitarian movements” and “freedom of speech” with the example you used speaks volumes already. Also what’s with the “defending gay people way before it was cooler”, and "before it was infiltrated by CIA agenda points? This all just smells extremely reactionary.
Freedom of Speech is actually an important freedom and a big blind spot of western leftists is mocking it because they associate it with Musk and Libertarian types in their local areas, but in fact there are many reactionary states and bourgeois dictatorships that harshly censor communists. You have never experienced that level of oppression so it all seems like a joke to you, but go live in Argentina or Egypt or Saudi Arabia for a couple years and maybe you’ll wise up
What monark actually said ia that if nazis wanted to build a party, they should have the right to. Not that he wanted to build it. He even said something like “they will build it anyway, so its better if its not underground”
Childish of you to see this world where things are perfect and colonization isnt part of Brasil’s history
Literally no one is “censoring” you, get a grip. I’m telling you to stop pushing this bullshit, that’s all.
Im not inside your head, point out what you think
Already did on my last comment.
Before it was cool = before usa capitalism decided it was profitable
How so?
You’re literally tossing everything as “identity politics” and comes claiming “free speech absolutism” and that other parties are aligned with imperialism and needs me to point out how that is reactionary? Really? Your condescending way of referring to LGBT people, Black and Indigenous people, Feminists and everyone else you might deem fit into the “identity movement” list, is not enough?
All you’re doing here is tossing all the work and struggle of oppressed people into a nice box that you don’t like just to diminish it, all while not backing any single claim you made.
And the free speech part, like come on, you literally admitted the party stance was to side with the homophobe because “muh freeze peach”, are you for real?
If you think its bullshit, you are free to think so. Now if you ask me to stop talking about it, no
If you think you made your point, i did not understand it.
Movements based on identity are identity movements, im sorry to tell you that. Thats not criticism, thats caracterization. If you think its bad to be called identitary, then its on you. Marxism is about class and class strugle, wich is based on economic positions. They are different things. Sometimes they agree, sometimes they dont
And you didnt read it correctly, or maybe i didnt made it clear enough. PCO disagreed with the researcher, who said Zumbi de Palmares was gay, but stood for his right to say so, even defending him when the black movement wanted him (the researcher) cersored
Still no proof of any of the claims you made, no matter how bold they were.
If you think you made your point, i did not understand it.
My point is that you are are being reactionary, which I stated multiple times already.
Movements based on identity are identity movements, im sorry to tell you that. Thats not criticism, thats caracterization. If you think its bad to be called identitary, then its on you.
Here you come with this bullshit again. What “identity”? It’s always you PCO people that comes with this claim, again diminishing the struggle of the oppressed throughout the decades. You want to oppose the rampant liberalism present in LGBT, Black and Feminist movements? Sure, that’s great, but don’t fucking belittle people and the movements while you’re at it.
Marxism is about class and class strugle, wich is based on economic positions. They are different things. Sometimes they agree, sometimes they dont
And what class do the majority of LGBT, Black and Women are again? What do they fight for, and what discrimination do they face and from whom? Their fight is part of the fight of the proletariat and should be front and center to the liberation of the working class.
And you didnt read it correctly, or maybe i didnt made it clear enough. PCO disagreed with the researcher, who said Zumbi de Palmares was gay, but stood for his right to say so, even defending him when the black movement wanted him (the researcher) cersored
You didn’t make it clear enough on the original comment. It made it seem like PCO stood by the homophobic guy. But since I couldn’t find anything about any of this, besides the claim that Zumbi could be gay, what are the sources for your claims? You’re painting the whole black movement as bad with the way you are wording this.
Still no proof of any of the claims you made, no matter how bold they were.
Can you say exactly what you want proof for?
My point is that you are are being reactionary, which I stated multiple times already
You think its reactionary, I dont. Im not reactionary for disagreeing with what you think.
You want to oppose the rampant liberalism present in LGBT, Black and Feminist movements? Sure, that’s great
So you agree with pco
but don’t fucking belittle people and the movements while you’re at it.
???
Their fight is part of the fight of the proletariat and should be front and center to the liberation of the working class.
I do agree that most of their fight goes hand in hand with proletarian causes, but no marxist in the world would claim thats the front and center of the cause. Marxists fight for the dictatorship of the proletariat, thats it
You’re painting the whole black movement as bad with the way you are wording this.
Im not painting anything. They were homophobic there. Does that make the “whole Black movement” bad? I dont think so. Most people are conservative, and even when someone is progressive in one area that doesnt make them immune to being reactionary in another. The world is full of contradictions.
Literally any claim that you made in your comments in this thread, which you made a bunch of.
???
You’re just being purposefully obtuse, I already said that by treating all these oppressed people’s struggles as “identity movements” you’re are belittling and being disrespectful, but you clearly don’t care. By labeling these struggles as “identity driven” you are using the same wording and tactics the alt right uses.
I do agree that most of their fight goes hand in hand with proletarian causes, but no marxist in the world would claim thats the front and center of the cause. Marxists fight for the dictatorship of the proletariat, thats it
I didn’t say it IS front and center, but that it SHOULD be at the forefront for any serious working class movement. Women, Black, LGBT and Indigenous liberation should be a focal point of any mass movement. There’s is literally no dissociating one from the other, these fights all go hand in hand when fighting capitalism and imperialism. But I’m repeating myself yet again.
Im not painting anything. They were homophobic there. Does that make the “whole Black movement” bad? I dont think so.
Yes, you are. The way you are wording this, which you just did again, is that the whole black movement is being homophobic, if that was not your intention, you should have pointed out where it started, by whom, and how the broad movement talked about it and approached it. I asked for proof and you provided none yet again.
This is gonna be my last comment here in this thread, I’m done having to repeat myself.
I do agree that most of their fight goes hand in hand with proletarian causes, but no marxist in the world would claim thats the front and center of the cause. Marxists fight for the dictatorship of the proletariat, thats it
Fighting involves getting people to your side. You don’t do that by shitting on people’s grievances. Even Lenin said that while class struggle is the ultimate conflict, it is not the only conflict you can or should use to mobilize people. People are oppressed by different things, and it’s not always apparent that class is the constant. You address their grievances and have solidarity, foster belonging in your movement, and you fight the enemy.
Why do you think capitalists are so effective at this? They have no morals. They’ll fund neo Nazis while waving a rainbow flag. But they succeed because they address the grievances of each side, real or perceived, and promise each side a “better future” even if they contradict each other. If you can’t even acknowledge someone’s identity being real and a legitimate target by the right, then you’ll never succeed. It’s organizing 101.
Are you familiar with the Black Panthers in the US? They were considered the most dangerous group in the US because they were black communists. They mobilized black people through shared experiences of being victimized by white racists, but that wasn’t the end goal. Once they were engaged with the group, they would start educating them on the history of colonization and class struggle. They would also reach out to other groups, including white people, using class struggle as the foundation. This was extremely dangerous because oppressed people from all sorts of backgrounds were uniting, but this was done after identity politics were used to form shared interest groups. They were infiltrated and assassinated by the FBI.
I agree that the capitalists infiltrate identity based groups to foster division, but they also do it with literally everything. There are so many splits and spin off communist organizations, many of which are intelligence operations. You’re not safe just because you want to “focus on class.” All you’re doing is limiting yourself the pool of supporters.
I definitely don’t mean the “communist” parties. But PCO is… kinda Trotskyist no? And kinda conservative, anti-LGBTQ movements and such.
They are not kinda trotskyists, they are trotskyists. They are not conservadores, they are the most progressive party in the country.

I should have been more specific and said freedom of speech absolutism. I know being able to speak freely like that is important, but I’m purposefully criticizing PCO here. The same party that defended Monark, a famous Brazilian Youtuber and Podcaster, when he said that there should be a Nazi party in Brazil, not only that but the same party that criticized a samba school for defiling the image of a colonizer, saying that what they did is wrong and against our history.
What monark actually said ia that if nazis wanted to build a party, they should have the right to. Not that he wanted to build it. He even said something like “they will build it anyway, so its better if its not underground”
Childish of you to see this world where things are perfect and colonization isnt part of Brasil’s history
I said I wouldn’t comment again, but damn, you are actually defending Monark, lmao. Ok, I’m just reporting this.
“Leaves so much out of context” and it’s just PCO’s own journal saying exactly what I said in it, sure.
Profoundly surprised
I didnt defend him, i gave context where you took it away. If you agree or disagree is up to you
Oh, just fuck off.
Said context: “I think the Nazi should have a Nazi party recognized by law” and “If a guy wants to be an anti-jew, I think he has the right to be”
Defend your point, dont try to censor me lol
Im not inside your head, point out what you think
Before it was cool = before usa capitalism decided it was profitable
How so?

Saying “shut up” isn’t censorship.
