This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

Wouldn't it still make sense to join those in order to drive them towards revolution rather than nothing?
For instance, the KKE in Greece and PTB in Belgium were hardly as impactful 20 years ago as they are today. Nevertheless, neither can be said to be a perfect party, the anti-LGBT line of the KKE comes to mind, and PTB isn't even explicitly revolutionary (though as I understand it they have a Marxist-Leninist internal faction).
They are both affiliated with the ICMWP (KKE basically made that conference happen), so if I were to offer a blind guess of where to start it in the UK, it would be in the CPB. Just quickly browsing their homepage indicates that at least they tend to agree on theory for most of the consensus points in this forum, so I'd suggest starting the search from them.
And forgive the bluntness, but for an active communist to boycott the existing communist movement solely for it being too passive is self-defeatimg idealism at best and arrogant anarchism at worst. Remember that not only did the Bolshevik faction emerge from within the mess that was the RSDLP, the myriad revisionist factions that comprised the Mensheviks were actually the majority! Correct communist parties can also only be created from struggle.
Social-Democrats were an actual mass movement party in Russia, CPB is a farce, vast majority of people in the UK isn't even aware they exist (not to mention they are linked to WPUK). There is no "existing communist movement" in the UK and the population has no interest in the revolution, and the more they get squeezed by contradictions of capitalism the more fascist they get because they got used to living large at the expense of the rest of the world.
I'll probably join https://we-are-collective.org/ once they launch the party, hopefully they'll be able to provide a viable alternative to Reform UK which is becoming the largest political party in the UK with both Tories and Labour shedding members at record speed.
