Lenin’s view of the working class is so important today, with so many in our global class struggling just to make ends meet, especially workers of color, here and in the Global South. And capitalism is threatening the world’s inhabitants with endless war and climate catastrophe.

There’s an old union slogan: “An injury to one is an injury to all.” The global working class has an obligation to the people of Palestine: Build a great wall of solidarity. Make it strong. Make a thick wall and a high wall, too high for [neo]imperialism to knock over. Multiply solidarity with Palestine in the name of the working class.

We must use our power as workers, as the ones who create [almost] all of the wealth in society, to help the Palestinians bring down the Zionist apartheid state — and ultimately bring down the whole [neo]imperialist system behind it.

That’s what an alliance of over 30 Palestinian unions have asked us to do. A significant number of national, regional and local labor organizations have taken a big first step. They have called for a permanent ceasefire. That is not enough, not by a long shot, but it’s something we can build on.

We again need to revive and elevate a fundamental principle of revolutionary Marxism-Leninism — that the working class IS a revolutionary class. It is THE revolutionary class whose historic mission is to bring about the downfall of the capitalist system of exploitation — and by doing so usher in a whole new phase of human development.

Free, free Palestine!

Discussion Community for fellow Marxist-Leninists and other Marxists.

Rules for /c/communism

Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.

  1. No non-marxists

This subreddit is here to facilitate discussion between marxists.

There are other communities aimed at helping along new communists. This community isn't here to convert naysayers to marxism.

If you are a member of the police, armed forces, or any other part of the repressive state apparatus of capitalist nations, you will be banned.

  1. No oppressive language

Do not attempt to justify your use of oppressive language.

Doing this will almost assuredly result in a ban. Accept the criticism in a principled manner, edit your post or comment accordingly, and move on, learning from your mistake.

We believe that speech, like everything else, has a class character, and that some speech can be oppressive. This is why speech that is patriarchal, white supremacist, cissupremacist, homophobic, ableist, or otherwise oppressive is banned.

TERF is not a slur.

  1. No low quality or off-topic posts

Posts that are low-effort or otherwise irrelevant will be removed.

This is not a place to engage in meta-drama or discuss random reactionaries on lemmy or anywhere else.

This includes memes and circlejerking.

This includes most images, such as random books or memorabilia you found.

We ask that amerikan posters refrain from posting about US bourgeois politics. The rest of the world really doesn’t care that much.

  1. No basic questions about marxism

Posts asking entry-level questions will be removed.

Questions like “What is Maoism?” or “Why do Stalinists believe what they do?” will be removed, as they are not the focus on this forum.

  1. No sectarianism

Marxists of all tendencies are welcome here.

Refrain from sectarianism, defined here as unprincipled criticism. Posts trash-talking a certain tendency or marxist figure will be removed. Circlejerking, throwing insults around, and other pettiness is unacceptable.

If criticisms must be made, make them in a principled manner, applying Marxist analysis.

The goal of this subreddit is the accretion of theory and knowledge and the promotion of quality discussion and criticism.
