    How is support for imperialism in Korean War (and a lot of other cases) marxist-leninist?

    How was Yugoslav market economy marxist-leninist (NEP was very different from Yugoslavian market "socialism")?

    The same way that Soviet imperialism in Finland, Baltic, Poland etc is Marxist-Leninist and in the same way that state-capitalist production is Marxist-Leninist.

    You don't pick one if you don't like Stalin because "Marxism-Leninism" is a term that Stalin made up for himself.

    Which one do I pick then if I am confused by all these dead people alignments and wish to wear pants on my head?

    How does one adequately describe someone who is a Marxist and a Leninist, but not a Trotskyist, then?

    You should then call yourself a "sans-culottes".


    @Obs:

    I think that's just called "Leninism".

    Confused?

    Seriously, I think the Iranian Hekmatists like Lenin but dislike Stalin and Trotsky.I don't know of other tendencies share this view.Perhaps Titoists, to an extent.

To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away.

    None of the above, but why is there no option for "Soviet Marxist-Leninists" (a.k.a. "tankies")?
    "A new centrist project does not have to repeat these mistakes. Nobody in this topic is advocating a carbon copy of the Second International (which again was only partly centrist)." (Tjis, class-struggle anarchist)

    "A centrist strategy is based on patience, and building a movement or party or party-movement through deploying various instruments, which I think should include: workplace organising, housing struggles [...] and social services [...] and a range of other activities such as sports and culture. These are recruitment and retention tools that allow for a platform for political education." (Tim Cornelis, left-communist)

    This one is for Stalinists only, it's only called "Marxist-Leninist" because they lie that better. Though I think those people tend to just call themselves "Leninists" or sometimes "Orthodox Leninists"

    He turned Cuba around but then became increasingly frustrated at Soviet and Cuban bureaucratism. He apparently developed an interest in both Maoism and Trotskyism. He eventually renounced his Cuban citizenship, fought in Congo and then died in Bolivia.

    Bordigists, who are Marxists and left communists, have been described as being "more Leninist than Lenin".

    A term which, in turn, has been described as "meaningless and stupid".

    By me.

    Just now.

    Reason why, out of these options, Titoism is superior:

    Oh, those homicidal dictators sure did have a jolly old time of it.


    Though seriously, they totally make me think of what would happen if a revleft member actually had political power.
