Cannabist
This is a group for all people who want a stateless, classless society, and lots of marijuana to smoke. Revolution will be brought about by the spread of pot.
Didn't mean to hijack the other group. Just wanted it as a tendency too. Couldn't do it with the original. Idk.Category: Interests: 7th December 2015 23:55

Strategic Studies
This group was created and intended for the study of strategy and the application of war.
There is absolutely no doubt that the majority of members on this forum, or perhaps even the majority of people on this planet, are in direct opposition to the politics of military strategists such as Napoleon Bonaparte, Carl von Clausewitz and Sun Tzu. However, it is widely agreed upon by strategists and academics alike, that the strategic theories outlined by the people above, are remarkable in terms of correctly applying strategy to the subject and field of war. Therefore, for the purpose of objectiveness, truth, and effectiveness, strategic theories outlined by credited strategists, regardless of politics, shall be accepted as worthy unto this group.
Unfortunately, strategy is not something synonymous only with Leftism, and such is perhaps the reason why one is living in a Capitalist society at this moment. One may argue that strategy is an academic field which has not been studied or prioritized enough in terms of helping to advance the cause of Socialism. However, hopefully, what I am sure we can collectively agree upon, is that strategy is certainly an academic field which can help at least in a minimal way in terms of advancing the cause of the liberation of the working class, if not taking such a cause to a much superior stage.
One would like this Strategic Studies group to be active in discussion and analysis on the subject of war and strategy. Promotion of criticism is requested, nonetheless accepted. Albeit, with that, please accept constructive criticism in response.
The intention of this group is to broaden ones understanding and knowledge of Strategy, as a means to help those who suffer overwhelmingly; The Working Class.
Once more, I welcome feedback, particularly in reference to improving this group. But please, do so through the use of private messaging.
As somebody who is in the process of creating a Strategic Studies society at ones university, and somebody who will be studying Strategy at a different university next year, I invite all who are interested, regardless of politics, to help with my forthcoming challenges, whether it be physically or simply through vocal advice.
Whether one may be a Marxist-Leninist, a Trotskyist, an Anarchist, or from the left in opposition to the previous; this group was not created nor intended for theoretical or political discussion, and therefore those pursuing such discussion will be subject to being removed from this group.Category: Interests: 22nd October 2016 16:27

Marxist-Leninists
Marxism-Leninism is the theory and practice of the Communists, who uphold the works of Marx, Engels and Lenin in the struggle for proletarian revolution, the construction of socialism, and the triumph of communism on a world scale. It is the scientific ideology of the working-class and its vanguard which accomplish these aims.
Marxism-Leninism bases itself on historical and dialectical materialism, taking into account the objective material conditions existent in each country and region. It supports just struggles against imperialism and neo-colonialism whose victories are guaranteed through the leading role of the working-class in said struggles. It supports internationalism as the guiding basis of the foreign policy of the socialist state and in the approach to inter-imperialist conflicts. Marxist-Leninists fight for both democratic and socialist demands and, where necessary in the world, carry out any bourgeois-democratic tasks in tandem with the uninterrupted move over into the socialist revolution.
The struggles waged by Marx, Engels and Lenin against all forms of revisionism, opportunism and reformism constituted both the defense of scientific socialism and its creative development, opposing both "left" and right-wing deviations.
The construction of socialism in the Soviet Union and likeminded countries provided a superior alternative to the capitalist system. The treacherous policies pursued by the restorers of capitalism constituted a heavy setback for the world working-class movement, but they could not reverse the nature of capitalism and the inevitability of class struggles for socialism under it.
Marxism-Leninism remains the ideology of the working-class by virtue of its scientific content and objective merits in the epoch of imperialism and the decay of capitalism.

Debunking leftists.
As the tendency name suggests, this group is for interested leftists to come together, dispell and find quick refutations of common myths surrounding economics, discrimination, Communism itself and other subjects that commonly appear in the discourse of modern politics.
If you get pissed off whenever you hear a comparison between Marx, Lenin Pol-Pot and Hitler, If you tremble uncontrollably at the words 'a way between extreme Marxism and Capitalism' or 'Good on paper but bad in practice', If you hate having to put up the constant conservative vomits who continuously explain to you how deregulation would increase competition and therefore worker's luxury of living, then this is the group for you!Category: Interests: 7th May 2018 06:03

Orthodox Trotskyism
Orthodox Trotskyism, so called by both adherents and detractors, is a political current within the broader Trotskyist movement that bases itself on the work of Leon Trotsky and his associates, such as James P. Cannon, who advanced Marxist theory in the direction indicated by Trotsky's work, in opposition to the revisionist theories of Pablo, Shachtman, Cliff and others. Orthodox Trotskyists emphasise the analysis, first outlined by Trotsky, of the Soviet Union as a degenerated workers' state, of the Stalinist bureaucracy as a contradictory stratum, and of the present epoch of the class struggle as being characterised by a deep crisis of leadership that can only be resolved by forging, on a firm basis, a Fourth International of revolutionary Bolsheviks-Leninists. This group is for adherents to the orthodox Trotskyist line, and every comrade who is interested in orthodox Trotskyist theory.

Romantic Sound
For all those who's passion finds an outlet in music with themes about love and romance. Countless genres around the world from oldies and 70's ballads in the west to C-ambient and soothing J-pop ballads in the east. Romantic tones find themselves being a universal language. We don't care if this music makes us seem soft or weak, the mood it puts us in is powerful.
