How about, instead of criticising each others ideologies, we say nice things about them!
Ill start:
Stalinists, your big daddy probably didnt kill 9 million people:)

Leninists, while I don't like the USSR they are one of only two countries to fully industrialize on their own, which is pretty badass.

Anarchists keep you honest, and Trotskyists are really dedicated.

Also, contact with people of other ideologies is always good. I'm certainly glad to have ready access to anarchist arguments of all varieties, instead of just one party line. I'm also willing to bet that plenty of anarchists benefit from Marxist ideas.

Anarchists led some pretty amazing movements in the early 20th century
+ kudos on the greek urban guerilla stuff

For real, most Marxists are way better at economics than most anarchists. It's no wonder Marxism is still pretty relevant in economics these days, while most anarchism tends to stay in the realm of sociology or philosophy. Not saying anarchists have no grasp of economics or that no Marxist understands social phenomena. Just going by the content of both fields' publications.

M-Ls: You have quite a lot of knowledge. Whether or not it's relevant to the working class is debatable, but you have a lot of knowledge.

You just lost yourself 500 Euros, amigo. I'd like them transfered to USD please. :p



Mao has some quotes that make you feel badass when you say them to people who don't know about him, in an argument. Even if for some of us, they have no meaning anymore.

Britain
British imperial exploitation, rape, and robbery of other countries played a huge part in our industrialisation. Afaik the USSR is the only country to really industrialise on its own

That's not at all what I meant. They were the first to industrialize so it was on their own. Obviously imperialism was a contributing factor though.

Anarchists are more fun when pointlessly saying fuck you to authority while M-L's are such stiffs about it and I'm already a stiff so that doesn't help.

I'll make something good about every tendancy that I can think of Right now.

Leninists: You guys fight a lot with each other, and your debates are always fun to watch.

-Stalinists, you guys debunk a lot of shit about Stalin's horror, as much as I oppose him, it makes the bourgeoisie tremble.

-Trotskyists, you guys are always cool to be around. Trotsky was a good leader and a talented writer.

-Maoists, China went through an industrial explosion, and an epic change. You guys brought up living standards sky high in China, and the Chinese probably thank you for that.

Non-Leninist Marxists: You guys are pretty much some of the smartest and most sophisticated users here on Revleft.

Council Communists, you have the most appealing name. You are Marxists yet you stay close with Anarchism as a friend. You advocate complete democracy and that is very appealing to the average joe.

Left Communists, you are pretty much the smallest, yet most intellectually advanced people on Revleft. Your works make more sense than any other, and if people listened to you guys, we'd probably be living in Socialism right now.

Plain old Marxists, well, you guys make my puny brain hurt from all of the fancy-talk you share, but without you, we wouldn't be able to stop all the anti marx rumours.

Non-Marxist Revolutionarys: You guys are pretty cool. Without you, we wouldn't have so much fun demonstrations and such.

Anarchists: You people are somewhat the most appealing to today's youth. Your contributation to the left is greatly appreciated, and will not be forgotten. You also have the best senses of Humour.

Non-Doctrine Communists: You all are losers who think you're too cool to be involved with all the sectarian shitstorms, well I got news for you, NONDOCTRINE COMMIES ALSO CREATE SECTARIANISM WITH DOCTRINE COMMIES

Just kidding non doctrine, you guys are alright :p
