they're not necessarily opposing viewpoints. revolution can be inevitable whilst still requiring a human action to start it

MLMs reject various Maoist ideas like the three worlds theory. The principles they advocate for are in many ways indistinguishable from baseline Marxism-Leninism, they just take it a step further with dogmatism.

I've always thought New Democracy, Mass Line and Cultural Revolution (and even protracted war to some extent) are fantastic ideas. Self identified MLMs seem to like to ruin it by shitting on AES countries and accusing all slights as revisionist.

Do you think people in Gaza don't want the Zionist entity to be dismantled in it's entirety? The only way to end the antagonism of settler colonialism is to overthrow the perpetrators, otherwise it will end up in the same place indigenous Americans are

Decolonisation = ultra left 🥴 PFLP supports single secular state, Hamas said they would accept 1967 borders but it's by no means ideal for them.

Definitely agree - but I also think the British left should focus more on building class power in oppressed communities(in a geographical sense, but also focussing mainly on imperialised communities like racially oppressed people who are more likely to support Socialism than labour aristocrats) rather than trying to recruit university students and flogging any kind of newspaper or magazine or book in the city centre where mostly just well-off shoppers are found. The masses must be convinced to trust us - we cannot simply just expect them to listen just because it's in broadsheet print.

Re-building communist power in unions is also important, as is trying to stop them from becoming increasingly establishmentarian.

2 states wouldn't allow full right of return. no justice, no peace

British people seem incapable of reason at this point lol, I don't wanna live here anymore but I can't abandon my shared responsibility to fix this shitfuck of a nation.

Don't get me wrong, I buy Morning Star often as it is an important paper as the only daily voice for Socialism in Britain, however this article is undoubtedly a reflection of the overall revisionist turn that has been repeatedly taken by the CPB(which has voiced support for 2-states) and the British left in a wider sense.

Also putting quotes around "indigenous" to imply there's no settler colonial relation
