Politics needs command to get us away from random movementism at the behest of liberal and revisionist opportunists. The masses need to be agitated, educated and put in command of the transformation required to emancipate the working class.

A lot of what you're saying lines up with the political concept of cultural revolution! In China during theirs' they had programs to have students go out from their social circles and into the countryside to build solidarity with the workers and peasants and solidify a connection to the masses. Here's a good video on it!

Marxist-Leninist-Maoist. Simply, it's the most proven and current mode of Marxist organization that addresses the pitfalls of past revolutions (revisionism, over-bureaucratic, erosion of the democratic rule of the masses' party) while maintaining the revolutionary line abandoned by revisionist states at some point in their existence (China, USSR, Nepal pretty recently). It recognizes that the masses make history and even outright calls for attacks on the parties' headquarters from the masses should they rest on their laurels too heavily and abandon the revolutionary struggle. It has active revolutions globally, namely in the Philippines and India currently. These revolutions are developing and have done a lot of really great things in countries that have historically been extremely reactionary (the New Peoples Army officiated the first gay wedding in the Philippines!)
I am open to any questions because a big part of MLM is Criticism, self criticism, and unity! For my anarchist friends here may I recommend this video! It's a really good and non-antagonistic video about how we might have a little more in common than you'd think! :)

Let it be known: The Maoist movement in the United States lives on, even if that is disputed by the liqudationists on their soapbox. There is the Revolutionary Study Groups, who hold quite a few chapters across the country, including Rising Tide Columbus and Cincinnati Communists - beyond that there are quite a few Revolutionary Maoist Coalition chapters, with a sizable one in Chicago. These movements aren't moribund or vacillating, but actively building the revolutionary base that has been under attack in this country since the inception of the communist party. Outside of that, nearly every city has a mass organization or activist group you can join and build! Don't just sit online, don't spread fatalistic defeatism, get out there and do the work!

This video covers the rise and fall of the red guards (later known as the CR-CPUSA) from the perspective of an anonymous former member. This former member, like a lot of the old movement, failed to understand the trappings of the old lumpen leadership and instead blamed the collapse on "Gonzoloism" This move was extremely damaging to the movement, and mislead hundreds about the nature of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism by only further tying those who purported Gonzalo thought in name only to the lumpen gangsterism of the cliquish old leaders and, instead of a restructuring, completely liquidated the CR-CPUSA. Read ["The Collapse"](https://struggle-sessions.com/2023/02/06/the-collapse/) for a thorough, if not slightly biased chronicle of this collapse. Declaring Gonzalo thought "Revisionist" within the first 10 minutes should be enough to prove to you the right-deviationism of the hosts and their guest, who later goes on to completely disregard the peoples war in Peru and, contradictorily, claims that the CPP were somehow "good Maoists" while simultaneously "distorting Maoism". Their guest further explains the over-militarization of the old movement, pinning it again onto "Gonzaloism" and not the mistakes of the old leadership. They again contradict themselves when they say later on they didn't fully understand what militarization is. This cannot be perceived as anything but right-deviationist revisionism that aims to defer the revolutionary path of Maoism as a developing science in favor of an almost Trotskyite adherence to some orthodox "Maoism" that is not Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. This needs to be debated, combatted, and disproved. And if any comrades have questions, feel free to let them be known.
One of the best resources for new socialists or anybody who just wants to know what it’s all about. Short, digestible, and understandable. Listen if you have time or you just need a refresher!

This might as well be a Dankey Kang community but I’m just trying to fill the space out with some good educational videos while I think of some more questions. Would y’all like to see anything in particular?

Thank you!
What infrastructure do you think is the most *communist?* Human centered? Industry centered? Something else? What needs to be transformed in modern capitalist society to get to that point? And, most importantly, why are trains so awesome? I personally think the communist city is not as centralized, instead spread out over the world in mid rise multi family blocks surrounded by farms (as common property using local crops along with whatever a citizen may want to grow should they acquire the seeds and means to care for them) and automated industry running on clean energy like fusion. I think the decentralization of the city re-enforces the masses and communism as whole. This, I think, also doesn’t really need cars. Once the city is totalizing and fully realized it would be a failure of infrastructure to not have easy and reliable public transportation like rail.

Episode 3 of this great series I’m posting here daily. This one covers the evolution of the science up to its latest development into Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, being preceded by Marxism-Leninism and Marxism before that.

Of course. Sometimes a minor diversion done on good faith can slowly lead away from the socialist road without intentional reversion to the capitalist system. It’s why a principled party capable of self-criticism with a mass line is so necessary

But this upholds the US narrative that Ukrainian insurgents might have carried out the attack. The imperialist media apparatus trying to cover up that the US military directly carried out the detonation.

Clearing up the different definitions and historical contexts of Mao-Zedong Thought and how it is synthesized into Marxism-Leninism-Maoism in the 1990s with development starting in the 1960s
In as simple or complex terms as you’d like. I have always described it as a “Deviation from the revolutionary line for purpose of capitalization, consolidation, or destruction of the Mass line in favor of the party bourgeois, landholders, etc” and a fundamental abandonment of scientific socialism in favor of pragmatic adoption of anti-socialist policy that does not lay the groundwork for communism. There are, however, retreats back while remaining on the socialist road. In the USSR the [NEP was used to maintain the socialist road after the civil war in a time of crisis](https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1921/oct/17.htm) (as opposed to the capitalist roading in the CCP on the back of steady [economic, poltical and population growth during the GPCR](https://foreignlanguages.press/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/N01-From-Victory-to-Defeat-7th-Printing.pdf)), which still remains *on* the socialist road. The revolutionary line is still upheld and the contradictions of state are still resolved by a party of the proletariat. Do you disagree? Have something to add? Let me know! Just remember to keep it civil and principled.

Solidarity. I’ve heard of comrades in Columbus being spit on for protesting the grotesque appropriation of pride by corporations. It’s time to reclaim it! It’s not Nationwides or Raytheon’s holiday!

I think it’s awesome. It’s the first time in a whole I’ve been on “new” social media and it’s bringing back a lot of feelings I thought were dead since the internet became so centralized
For me: It is simply love. Love of my neighbors and my friends, and the love of the masses. I am also a very realistic person, so I understand the necessity of the masses leading a future of wealth and prosperity, as opposed to the few, Why are you? No wrong answers.
Welcome! I figured I should make this community to post about what interests me, but I would love any contributions from my other comrades who come across this page. Remember, **keep discussion cordial and principled!**

A great video from [Marxism Today](https://www.youtube.com/@Marxism_Today) talking about Movementism, Mao's Youth and what Marxist-Leninist-Maoist theory can do for the Anarchists, especially within the imperial core.
"The Activist Study (Araling Aktibista), or ARAK as it’s known, is part of the required study for activists in the Filipino revolutionary movement. The study includes Mao Zedong’s Five Golden Rays, along with lessons on Revolutionary Study and Analysis, the Mass Line, and Democratic Centralism and the Committee System–all essential texts for studying and forming revolutionary practice." - [Foreign Languages Press](https://foreignlanguages.press/colorful-classics/activist-study-araling-aktibista-arak/)
Hosted by the talented [Queer_Bolshevik](https://queer-bolshevik.medium.com/) on Medium. This was made following the liquidation of the CR-CPUSA and the construction of the Revolutionary Study Group earlier this year.
