Some leftist over here consider our party to not be fully marxist/leftist whatever.

Now, would I say our party (PVDA/PTB) is perfect? No. Would I say it is the furthest an actual marxist party would go in my country? Yes. Is it therefore the best party I could join and become active in? Probably.

I participate in a lot of discussion within the party. I'm openly ML. I have my own views and the official party line doesn't always support it. Nonetheless it is the party I see the most potential in to make actual change.

It made me think. What would you consider the bottom line for joining a party?

Side note: going to sleep now, will read replies next morning.

4 must-haves for being bloody Marxist (for me at least):

  • Anti-capitalism (Marxists being anticaps is like the morning sky being blue)
  • Anti-imperialism (kinda cringe invading other nations and taking over established societies)
  • Anti-discrimination (Workers of the world unite and all that shit. Kinda contradictory if you start excluding workers not being white or straight)
  • Pro-workng class (If you aren't, what the shit are you doing as a Marxist)

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities
