Technically it’s the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, both the Republic of Korea and Democratic People’s Republic of Korea consider the other government to be illegitimate.

Either way, the CPC absolutely does follow ML-XJT. That guides their entire political economy and their strategy as a whole with regards to Socialism with Chinese Characteristics.

They usually do, here. If someone breaks the rules, report them, don’t feed them. If you want an instance with little interaction with liberals, Hexbear.net or Lemmygrad.ml might be a better fit too. I personally keep both a Lemmy.ml and a Hexbear.net account.

Hexbear isn’t “trans only,” however according to surveys is about 50% trans/nonbinary, and is regularly pitched as one of the 2 largest trans positive instances, alongside Blahaj.zone.

That’s taken out of context, though. That wasn’t a pivot from the working class as a focus, that was a pivot away from the Gang of Four’s fetishization of poverty under a more direct form of Socialism as being more noble than prosperity under a more market-focused system. China has been utilizing a Socialist Market Economy to rapidly build up the productive forces, and has channeled a lot of that growth into massive expansions in poverty reduction and infrastructural improvements for the good of all.

They didn’t pull an entire 180, they course corrected from Left-Deviationism. Ironically, the Gang of Four had taken on an idealist stance, rather than materialist, by treating higher levels of socialization of the Productive Forces as inherently superior at an almost mystical level, rather than as a course in material development that becomes more suitable the more advanced industry becomes. This goes against Marx.

Put another way, what would you consider a pivot that the CPC could make to turn it “authentically Marxist?” Is this pivot even feasible, or advisable? We can always critique, the CPC for sure has valid criticism that can be made, but I wouldn’t say that takes away from its Marxist character.

Sure, there can be, but in the instance of the CPC we can observe the Political Economy of the PRC, and observe trends over time, and confirm that they are indeed Marxists.

The CPC is Marxist-Leninist, currently ML-XJT.

Westerners always seem to be surprised every time Marxists prove to have a better understanding of Political Economy and how to better utilize it.

Try not to call other users bots, even if you are provoked by them.

You’re already on one, though if you want even broader lemm.ee works. I, however, instead recommend checking out instances and their local feeds directly by picking from here, sorted by most active, then scrolling by local.

.world defederated from them, meaning .world accounts cannot see their content. They still have very active posting, just not in your view.

Referring to trans people as “insane” for being trans is transphobic, and a bit ableist. I’m not talking about your personal experience, but your presumably unintentional transphobia.

Politics is a core part of Lemmy, since most of us are here are here on ideological grounds against Reddit.

Yep, there’s a comm for non-political memes as well.

Upvotes or comments count.

Sure, that’s fair enough. I think a big problem with communication on Lemmy is people speaking past each other.

On a side note, if you do decide you want to talk, I can do so, or if you want recommendations on Marxist-Leninist theory I can provide some good works if you want to understand my viewpoint better.

I didn’t call Bernie or AOC Marxists, rather they are Social Democrats. I myself am a Marxist-Leninist and am speaking as one, hence “we.” Social Democracies in the Nordics are built on Imperialism, that’s how they sustain themselves, and only have the privledges they do because the bourgeoisie was afraid of revolution like in Russia when it first went Socialist.

To be clear, AOC’s and Bernie’s ideas don’t seem to have a real path to implementation. Marxists aren’t idealists, we are practical and are Materialists, and part of that practicality is understanding that policies can sound good, but without a path to implementation they might as well be ghosts, even if they are more moderate ideas.

Not trying to be mean, but how do you envision the DNC changing its tune?

As for your bit on me implying only perfection is acceptable, that’s not my stance, rather what I consider acceptable is pretty different. Again, I’m a Communist, that doesn’t mean I need my candidate to start a guerilla war from the mountains against their local Wal-Mart, but it does mean I hold stock in anti-US Imperialism and a dedication to bringing about Socialism, which at this point does require revolution.

No problem! Federation should resume by the end of the month.

Bernie certainly isn’t as bad as, say, Fetterman, but he has his fair share of bad policy (especially foreign policy, which ends up just being justification for US Imperialism), and due to how the 2 party system works the Democrats will never be able to truly be “taken over” by progressives, as that would hurt their donor-base, the bourgeoisie. A genuine worker party is necessary, but it will not be capable of being reformist, it must be revolutionary, ie PSL.
