How do you have Leninism without Marxism?
Obviously you only hit the one button.
Can someone explain this to me:
Marxism= based on theory of Marx
Leninism= based on Lenin’s theories
Marxism-Leninism= an amalgam between both, created by Stalin
Why not call it stalinism?
- Stalinism is a term people use to mean something else
- Marxism-Leninism is a name that explains what it is quite nicely. You can have disagreements with other Marxist-Leninists (e.g. USSR and China) about what works, whereas Stalinism implies you specifically want what Stalin did (but that should really only apply to a specific time and place, namely Stalin’s governance of the USSR)
I see, thanks for explaining. So it’s a bit like a ‘do like I say, not like I do’ kind of situation…
So it’s a bit like a ‘do like I say, not like I do’ kind of situation
Wow, I must have horribly explained it then.
No, it’s more like different strategies might be more appropriate for a specific time and place, based on trial and error (e.g. how can we avoid the fall of the USSR in China?), the resources of your country, threats of other countries, etc.
Ok thanks!
I thought he was a fasco-capitalst masquerading as a Marxist-Leninist?
I hope you’re kidding. Or are we in for another 300 comment struggle session on /c/memes?
More 👏 struggle 👏 sessions 👏
I don’t think they’re kidding.

I’m up for it if you’re up for it
Anytime comrade, these libs won’t dunk themselves
Fasco-capitalst is an exaggeration, but there’s no way a country intentionally keeping the standard of living of the working class that low, just to remain as the world’s sweatshop is Marxist-Leninist nation.
intentionally keeping the standard of living of the working class that low
Over the past 40 years, the number of people in China with incomes below $1.90 per day – the International Poverty Line as defined by the World Bank to track global extreme poverty– has fallen by close to 800 million
China’s battle against poverty has benefited the largest number of people in human history
That truly sounds like hell
Something like 70+% of Chinese millennials own their own home as they are experiencing a massive boom in jobs, pay, and benefits. Meanwhile ess than 40% of US millennials do. It’s much less when you account for mortgage vs actual paid off.
You can just walk down any fucking street in China and see happy looking young couples with kids. 2 hours there would prove to anyone with eyes and moderately functioning brain how prosperous the society has become.
The west probably would say Satan is communist, so hell indeed (and please Satan, grant me a place there!)
The West here, can confirm.
Hail Comrade Satan!
You haven’t watched We The Workers I fear
Confidently incorrect.
damn that’s crazy bro factory wages are actually getting bigger and bigger in China because people don’t want to work in factories since they’re going to college, China hasn’t had sweatshops for decades and they’re actually keeping prices low because they make economies of scale You should learn advanced economics probably
Fascinating. I’ve often seen very video game-esque simplifications of complex geopolitical and economic situations, but to think all Xi has to do to fix the standard of living is just turn a slider up like in a video game! Doesn’t he know that the 10% happiness boost the people get will outweigh the additional income cost per turn, especially in the long run? And he hasn’t even started trying to build any world wonders smh.
Happiness slider is inefficient he should be trading for luxuries and spending his gold to buy techs smh
You do realize they’re a developing country right?
Developing toward all the same flaws as the western world, yeah.
I wasn’t aware that the western world has cheap healthcare, protects striking workers that kill corrupt bosses and capitalists, and raises the minimum wage every few years.
Don’t forget the mass transit system that connect almost the entire country at this point. China is the world leader in high speed rails and they how have trains that can beat actual planes. lol. Meanwhile the US has literal hundreds of freight train derailments every year as the infrastructure crumbles.
“But that’s whata-burger-izuhm you evile Ten-Key! Don’t you know that Xinnie the Flu forces Wiggluer- Yoghurtz onto his trains to give them free healthcare!? At least in the U.S. you have the right to complain while traveling through our smog-filled cities!”
That’s impossible, you don’t live there!

fasco-capitalst
Bet you feel really good about having used a word that big
I’d say ideology is a tool he used to acquire and maintain power. So he’s more of a narcissistic psychopath than anything else.
Man you made the tankies upset. Anyone who doesn’t live in China who thinks China is Communist and supports them for being Communist is a freaking clown. I wish the tankies would actually read some philosophy or economic theory books that actually explain the ideas they claim to be about. China is a joke.
No nation has actually managed to transform into a communist state in the fashion Marx imagined. There’s effectively never been a real communist state. Supporting any “communist” state just because they call themselves such is so silly. They’re all just thinly veiled dictatorships dangling a communist carrot in front of the populace.
Fash? No
Capitalist? Well, if he has a big “socialism” button, he hasn’t pushed it
