What kind of Left person are you?

[FidelCastro]

Personally, I'm a hardcore Marxist-Leninist. I think it is important to stick my the original ideas. As Marxist I am, there are some things from Totalitarian such as secret police and constant surveillence. Totalitarian goverments are great for economic growth. I am not a Capitalist but I do belive a country as a whole should have a good economic foundation to survive in the world. Profits can be put towards things that matter such as health-care and education and the maintainence of the country.


My question is, what kind of a left person are you?

[Amusing Scrotum]

I am a emancipated working class man. Therefore I want proletarian democracy and I oppose everything that opposes this goal. From Capitalism to Maoism.

Though I am best described as a Left Communist, with Anarchist leanings.


As Marxist I am, there are some things from Totalitarian such as secret police and constant surveillence.

You are for these things? :huh:

If you want these things so badly, then I'm sure you could find them in places like Saudi Arabia.

:angry:

Yeah, forced work is usually great for a countries economy. Though it is not what the "left" promotes.

You sound like a Capitalist and you are not a Marxist.

[Correa]

I consider myself a traditional Marxist. Statisticaly vanguards have resulted in disasters and as a result I reject Leninism, altough Lenin's works are most interesting and there is much to be learned from the man.

[rioters bloc]

fidel castro, this sounds like you're supporting capitalism to me

Lately, I have downloaded two games, Starcraft with the expansion pack, and Rise of Nations. Starcraft was a little blurry the first 20 seconds or so, but now it is fine. Rise of Nations, I downloaded it, and only slight, very slight problems with the sound once in a while. I've also downloaded some very good movies. You don't have to rent or buy a movie anymore. CD's.. I maybe buy one CD a year. Why waste money on a CD, when you can get it for free? Imagine how much money you could save. It's a reason why corporations are so much against file sharing.


Editing Wikipedia
Wikipedia is a very popular site. When you are searching for something, you are likely to see a link to Wikipedia on the first page. So do what you can, and edit, at least once in a while.


These are just a few things you could do in front of your computer.

Anyone else?

Woah, We need to support these corporations so that they can give us more. What we should do, is to not pay for public books and music. [/b]

Hardline Marxist. As in the four-step plan.

1)Revolution
2)Stable, Collective State
3)Socialism (gradually killing off the State)
4)Free Communism

Not a Leninist as I don't take "dictatorship of the proletariat" literally, as in a one proletarian being a dictator.

My question is, what kind of a left person are you?

Most basically, a Marxist. I have been heavily influenced by the thoughts of Lenin and some others, although I don't claim to be in favor of everything they did. I believe that socialism will need a powerful working-class run state apparatus, but criminality should be dealt with by vigilant citizens at the local level. One could say I am in favor of "totalitarianism" in that the state should organize all levels of society, be they economic, political, or cultural. That is, a "totalitarian-democratic workers' state." It is not to be confused with "totalitarian-fascism" or "totalitarian-oligarchism" in which the bourgeois or the elites command the state. One must draw certain distinctions.


Yeah, forced work is usually great for a countries economy. Though it is not what the "left" promotes.

Article 60
It is the duty of, and matter of honor for, every able-bodied citizen of the USSR to work conscientiously in his chosen, socially useful occupation, and strictly to observe labor discipline. Evasion of socially useful work is incompatible with the principles of socialist society.

-Constitution of the USSR

[Luís Henrique]

Not a Leninist as I don't take "dictatorship of the proletariat" literally, as in a one proletariat being a dictator.

Oh please.

"ProletariaT" is a class. One individual of such class is a "proletariaN".

Literally, "dictatorship of the proletariat" means dictatorship of a class, not of an individual. In this sense of the word, the American, or the Swedish governments are "dictatorships of the bourgeoisie", even if they are not "dictatorships" in the common usage sense. "Dictatorship of the proletariat" does not mean police spies, torture, censorship. It means the proletariat, as a class, rules society. If you are against the concept, fine, but, please, don't be against it because you believe it means something completely different than it actually means!

Luís Henrique

[ReD_ReBeL]

i would probably say im a leftist-populist, since i believe in doing the best for the common people and not any eliteists, and i reject any sort of dictatorship even for the proletariat as thy put to many restrictions on peoples personal lifes in most cases such as Stalin and most other Soviet dictators, and believe every humanbeing should be able to vote for which government they want by using a One Person One vote system where it doesnt favour the big parties nor small parties its just balanced. yes i admire Lenin and Marx and even Fidel but personally thats not the way i would run things

Did you not read what you posted. Nowhere in that quote does it say you will be forced to work.

Though, Russia was hardly a "bastion" of the left wing and therefore I doubt pay much attention to anything that was said there.

[Ymir]

Originally posted by Armchair Socialist+--> (Armchair Socialist)Did you not read what you posted. Nowhere in that quote does it say you will be forced to work.[/b]

Of course it doesn't! That's because work in a socialist society is a prerequisite of being a citizen, thus:

Evasion of socially useful work is incompatible with the principles of socialist society.

If one does not work, he is a drain on the people.

Article 14

(1) The source of the growth of social wealth and of the well-being of the people, and of each individual, is the labor, free from exploitation, of Soviet people.
(2) The state exercises control over the measure of labor and of consumption in accordance with the principle of socialism: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his work". It fixes the rate of taxation on taxable income.
(3) Socially useful work and its results determine a person's status in society. By combining material and moral incentives and encouraging innovation and a creative attitude to work, the state helps transform labor into the prime vital need of every Soviet citizen.

So basically, if you have the ability to work and you don't, you won't get the support of the state. This obviously doesn't apply to invalids and those with mental or physical handicaps.


Armchair Socialism
Though, Russia was hardly a "bastion" of the left wing and therefore I doubt pay much attention to anything that was said there.

...You know they achieved the closest thing to economic equality ever realized, correct? For better or worse, the USSR was as much as socialism managed to achieve, even if it ended as a horribly corrupt and twisted.

[Delirium]

I am comparitivly (to the rest of you) an economic moderate, I am generally a democratic socialist with very strong Green leanings. I am very anti-authoritarian and i believe our rights as humans are a priority over any economic policy. Evolution V. Revolution is a question that i have yet to decide upon.

[FidelCastro]

I never said I was in favor of forced labor nor did I say we should make people clean everything. All I said was, people will clean the streets when they get tired of living in filth. I don't belive in forced labour at all and that is one of my biggest critisisms. I know forcing people to do something never gets anything accomplished, my parents force me to study but I don't really want to study and I end up slacking off because of it. When I do feel the need to study, I do study and I don't slack off and I do better. I belive in constant surveilliance so people do not get hurt and I am a person who is open to constructive critisism. I don't like Mao and I don't like Stalin either, ditto for Pol Pot. They hurt alot of people and should be crucified for it.

[Publius]

Is "The bouncy kind" a valid answer?

[BattleOfTheCowshed]

I am a Marxist-Leninist-Trotskyist. Despite the possible objections of others on this board, I consider myself a Libertarian Marxist. I believe that a Vanguard Party is not only the most practical form of revolution but also one which will ensure that the desires of the working class are fought for regardless of any bureacratic events or party politics. I believe the Dictatorship of the Proletariat is also necessary after the revolution to ensure the rule of the proletariat. I don't believe liberties would be compromised under any of these sytems (in fact they would be greatly enhanced). I believe in the eventual dissolution of the state as well.

I just don't like how Lenin centralized the state and made it so powerful. Maybe it's my anarchist side speaking out, but I believe that the State should be dissolved as soon as possible when in the process of Socialism.

I hate freedom of speech, democracy, and choice.

I think everyone should do what Bob Avakian tells him they should do.

I am Marxist-Leninist-Maoist and currently a big fan of the Revolutionary Community Party. But I admit I got a crush on Rosa Luxemburg... :wub:

Plain old Marxist, even though I'm something of a closet Council Communist.

My ideas for revolution could be pretty much summed up in the Paris Commune.

Surely though, with totalitarianism there is also fascism. Indeed, you merely state that you are a "socialist". What kind may i ask? Aslo, what do you think are the chances that your perception of socialism is the same as others? (which has issues regarding whether you can/should enforce your will on others, and vice versa, are you prepared to submit to a system of totaltarian rule? By definition, it is total. thus if it goes a way you don't like, you can't do anything). How would you influence the executive, if there is no democracy?

What is social justice too? Surely it is a matter of defintion; like "the common good".

Not "having a go" at you. Just interested in people whom believe in totalitarianism.

Wouldn't totalitarianism require somebody to be the head (dictator?) of a strong, centralized State? And to take away most rights from it's citizens? Maybe i've read too much 1984, but it never seemed that totalitarianism is such a good idea, since it brushes with fascism.

That's not what a dictatorship of the proletariat is.
A dictatorship of the proletariat is a class society in which the working class wields power with the aim of suppressing reaction and protecting socialism. The goal here is communism, a classless society, which is therefore void of class antagonisms and is peacefull, which according to Karl Marx, mean the absence of opposition to socialism.

[Bugalu Shrimp]

Left back, behind the goal posts

[Kamerat Voldstad]

I am a Marxist, in that I support the principles and goals, and I agree with Marx' and Engels' outline of the process we have to go through. But I am pragmatical insofar as I believe, consistent with Marxism, that our situation always changes, and therefore also our tasks for reaching our goals. Therefore I accept the wisdom of Lenin and such as well as good old Marx, but my relationship to all these thinkers is one in which I look to them for guidance, not answers. The answers we must find ourselves, as we review our current situation and compare it to the ones before, and the wisdom that came our of those.

I think that under some cicumstances, dictatorship might be the best way. This sounds kind of elitist, but in a society where people lack education and proper living, a dictatorship by the learned who seeks the interest of the whole people may be much better than setting up a democracy for politically ignorant people - the building blocks of democracy must be laid first. But on the other hand: We've seen the danger this involves. And maybe the people matures better through immiediate democracy rather than a gradual democracy. But then again: It worked on Cuba!

Anyway, we definitly, no matter where and when we are, pinned under capitalism or feudalism, need that revolution and the implementation of Socialism, driving us towards a brave new world in the future it creates. How this revoltuion and this socialism will look like, though...

So in the end: I'm simply, and I think one should simply be, a Communist, that tries to apply his principles and the wisdom he has learned to the current situation.

[Purple]

I consider myself far left. I have not taken a specific stand towards either communism or socialism as I think that each of them would be best suitable in different relations. All I want is to give people knowledge about how things work, what is the most sensible(after their ideas not mine, even tough I gladly contribute with my knowledge).

My basic beliefs are that classism is what is seperating society, and even tough individual achievement should be rewarded, there shouldnt be such a gap between both opportunity and salary amongst the economical classes!

[ComTom]

I consider myself, just a simple "leftist". I fail to find a appropiate ideology really, I like to just call myself a Marxist. I hate to stick to the "trotskyist" and all the other view points, I think that every aspect of communism has certain beliefs.

[Enragé]

I am best described as a trotskyist

and yes i think a vanguard is necessary, why? There is no way around it. Anarchists are a vanguard as well, even if they dont want to be.

Anarchism would be great, if it worked, though i dont think its realistic that utopia will break out a second after the revolution, there will be unrest, foreign interventions etc...therefore we need a state. The transition to communism/anarchism should be as quick as possible though.

[ComTom]

Yes, I love the idea of Anarchism, but there needs to be steps before we achieve the utopia of a "classless soceity".

anarchists are not a vanguard in the leninist sense. therfore you little title makes no sense. they way anarchists and marxists alike are a "vanguard" is that they already accept the revolutionary ideas. but we dont lead people. the proletariat will lead itself.

anarchists dont argue for a utopia. we also dont predict communism instantley after a revolution. we just see that the state is unecessary in order for a dictatorship of the proletariat.

The American left is tamed by the process. Take a look at history, the most revolutionary change happens when government becomes the strictist. Political viewpoints swing left and right as time passes until that society collapses.

i've recently been reading about Julius Martov and am very fond of his views and to my knowledge there is no procliamed martovism so i would say im a Leftist Menshevik

Fuck this name-calling thingy. I say:
-Revolution
-State, only for welfare, does not meddle in personal choices (drug/alcohol using, smoking etc.)
-Slowly deconstructing state
-Communist society (or anarchism, if you wish)

People call me communist, marxist, anarcho-communist, the thing is: Don't we all pretty much want the same? We just have different views on how to reach it. But if your goal is the same as the 4th step I just described (and someone in this thread before me, I think), than you are a comrade of mine :)

Left-Communist "Fellow Traveler", with some syndicalist sympathies.

Iam some kind of "beyond the ultra-left"-marxist. I am influenced by left communists (like Bordiga), situationists (like DeBord), insurrectionist anarchists (like Alfredo Bonanno & Wolfi Landstreicher) as well as modern post-ultra-left communists (such as Gilles Dauvé).
