New poster, hope to be able to post properly soon - I'm a Marxist-Leninist, hope to work through some issues here - primarily in the area of modern marxism v. old school Marxism , that kind of thing!:)

[Q]

Welcome :)

If you have political questions, you can ask them in the Learning forum. That's why it's there after all!

If you have questions about your account, don't hesitate to send me a PM or ask here.

What attracts you to 'Marxism-Leninism'? Especially the CPB?

[MonsterMan]

I prefer the older way of looking at Marxism, as I believe that much of the modern day opinions are too liberal and individualistic, essentially copping out to the power of money. The CPB are fairly close to my views and the only party that has any strength in numbers, history etc.. in the UK

[Q]

The "older view" being the counterrevolutionary antothesis of 'Marxism' that came out of Stalinism? Ok.

The CPB is the political heir of the old CPGB, dissolved in 1991, with its "British Road to Socialism" programme which propagated nationalisation and a slow walk through the institutions. There is very little overlap with genuine "old", that is, 'orthodox' Marxism.

As you can see, we have much to debate :lol:

[MonsterMan]

it seems to me that the CPGB became too liberal, and the CPB try to remain truer to the old version of Marxism - is that how you feel as well?

Stalinism? lol, that needs a little modernising IMO, but in its day, was probably needed
