i mean if north korea is a de leonist country from the 1940s. seriously!
Everyone understood what you meant and that's why they reject it. Post-WWII Korea was a semi-feudal ex-colony. Aside from syndicalism being a completely inadequate ideology anywhere, they are right that it's farcical in this context. Next, shall we say that the Ikko-Ikki or Thomas Müntzer or Spartacus should have been De Leonists?
I can't tell if this is a bit account. If so, it's not a tasteful joke. seriously!
I think this is a young user. They've made quite a few posts that seem sincere, and repeatedly denied doing a bit. They're not acting combative or toxic, so I think there's no harm in them asking questions like this here and getting answers. We all learn somehow. Agreed that it wouldn't be tasteful as a bit, though.
I certainly agree that that's what they are if they are sincere, I just find certain elements like the density of repetition in phrasing and such kind of strange, along with posting a fair bit but without replying very much even to people who are nice, or so it looked in the other thread.
Anyway, I agree that it's better regardless to treat them as sincere.
OP has also stated that they are neurodivergent in another of their threads a while back, iirc.
I also think the "seriously!" endings started about then too, after so many people accused them of doing a bit.
my point is that north korea should've been leftcom to begin with. seriously!
I'm pretty sure leftcom is seriously incompatible with De Leonism/syndicalism in the sense that leftcom, while also silly, is revolutionary. It comes across like you're just kind of stringing words together. Can I suggest reading a book on leftist theory instead of trying to stitch things together from the incoherent patchwork of Wikipedia?
are there any ways i can read leftist theory without losing focus quickly?
2);If youre having trouble engaging with the typical texts, like Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and so on, there are plenty of more modern writers who have explained, elaborated on, and brought the ideas to the 21st century. For instance, if you are having trouble with a particular Lenin work, maybe look up some newer writers who have dissected what youre reading.
i WOULDN'T focus on stalin - i prefer the usual stuff; marx, lenin, trotsky, de leon, any socialist theorist!
Your thoughts on Stalin aside, you need to choose a subject to read about. Do you want to read about Marxist philosophy? Do you want to read about imperialism? What specifically do you want to read ABOUT?
any of them
You need to narrow things down so people can recommend specific works
i'm looking for any socialist books from any perspective (marx, lenin, stalin, trotsky, de leon, bernstein, luxembourg, anyone!). if you have any recs, please let me know. seriously!
State and Revolution, by Lenin.
Is there someone you forgot to ask?
That depends a lot on the specifics of your own proclivities. I personally really like audiobooks and that helped me get into things. My favorite is this reading of Socialims: Utopian and Scientific.
It's also not the most satisfying answer, but it's worth noting that keeping one's focus is a skill and it will improve at least a little as you attempt to exercise it, even if you "fail".

but how different would it be tho? the leonist DPRK now elects people to the goverment via votes from union members instead of votes from people assembles?
