| Bio: |
International Relations major. Marxist intellectual, and aspiring writer, social scientist/humanitarian, and historian. Capitalism is the biggest sham ever, propagated under the idealism of meaningless catch phrases like 'freedom' and 'democracy', sold to us as our own enslavement and dehumanization.
I'm a communist of the Second International, based on the core principles of revolutionary, Orthodox Marxism; yet recognizing the flaws of the SI (i.e. the SPD movement to the far right in support of WW1). New ideas , including the development of a new working class culture to fight capitalist hegemony, and the convergence of the working class and Marxism to form a mass proletarian party will be necessary to rectify the crisis of theory and produce social change.
I reject Vanguardist elitism (Leninism), Reformism (social democracy), and Blanquism; and also reject the ideologies and policies of the "cult of personality" and counter-revolutionary, 'Great Man' theory opportunists such as Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and Kim Jong Il, all of whom were not communists but were in fact top down, State-Capitalist bureaucrats that did wonders for capitalist propaganda. |
