Firstly, if Hexbear is left-unity, how come I only see Dengites? Secondly, I AM THE PROCESS OF FORMING THE AMERICAN COMMUNIST PARTY (MAOIST).
If you were actually familiar with Hexbear like you claimed, then you'd know how many people here don't like Chinese reform. Especially in the news mega, lots of criticism of China's market policies. You're allowed to criticize China, lots of people do, but then other people are going to have their say about what they think of your criticisms, and this could be an interesting and informative discussion or it could be you yelling at everyone they are revisionists, but that's up to you.
Right... except that literally everyone in the post which is critical of Dengism are supportive of Deng.
Are these "anti-Dengists" just hiding or what?
"Has criticisms of the 90s reforms"≠ "Shares your particular ill-described vendetta"
I am not on a vendetta. I am actively working for the education of the proletariat and dissemination of the revolutionary framework of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, principally Maoism.
"Dengism" is not a thing. Deng Xiaoping Theory is Marxism-Leninism applied to the conditions of the PRC at the time Deng was in power, adapting to the fundamental errors made by the Gang of Four. Just as Mao Zedong Thought was Marxism-Leninism applied to the conditions of the PRC under Mao, Deng necessarily was dealing with different circumstances. Now that the PRC is developing Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in a New Era, Xi Jinping Thought is now Marxism-Leninism applied to the PRC's present conditions.
There is no "Dengism." Not every leader needs an "ism" attached to their name. The reason you see support for Deng's reforms is the same as elsewhere, Hexbear has a large number of Marxist-Leninists, who uphold the PRC as AES.
Good for you on getting organized. You'd do well to focus more on it than trying to start struggle sessions on a niche communist shitposting site.
Yes it is, lib. It's called "Marxism-Leninism-Moo Dengism" and it's dope af:
Hell yea
Next you'll being saying there's no such thing as Maoism.
Maoism certainly exists, along with contentions on how universal certain aspects of Mao's theoretical and practical advancements are, or if they are localized to the PRC. As an example, I think the Mass Line is a fantastic advancement on DemCent, but I am skeptical of the universality of Protracted People's War.
Dengism, on the other hand, does not exist. I uphold Deng Xiaoping Theory as MLs tend to, as Marxism-Leninism of the PRC under Deng. I don't uphold "Stalinism" as a thing, Stalin was a Marxist-Leninist. "Ism" is used for people who have made universal advancements on Marxism, the degree to which these advancements are accepted as universal on Marxism is irrelevant. There are no people who call themselves "Marxist-Leninist-Dengist" or "Marxist-Leninist-Maoist-Dengist."
cringe
there are better names than ACP for a US communist party
To be honest he's starting to sound as annoying as the ACP hogs.
That said, it is an incredible gut-buster to say one is forming ACP(M)
Honestly, several tagline worthy moments here, lmao. ACP(M) is near the top tho
Yeah I'm throwing the
"Firstly, if Hexbear is left-unity, how come I only see Dengites? Secondly, I AM THE PROCESS OF FORMING THE AMERICAN COMMUNIST PARTY (MAOIST)."
Into the tag line list before I take old yeller here on a walk behind the barn.
Fantastic work, comrade.
He hasnt say bigoted shit to be fair, it is funny he wants to steal the acp name
Hmm true, he hasn't hit @leftcompride@hexbear.net levels of annoying just yet, maybe I'll sit on it for an hour or two and do some shopping and come back to see how the tykes are getting along.
Can we have this one, pretty please?

Yeah sure why not
This manifesto dictates I call it the American Communist Party (Maoist).
That manifesto is nearly 200,000 words long, to the point it had to be split in several books, that seems a bit unwieldy. More than 100 pages are spent talking about history and how other socialists that are wrong, that really doesn't feel like it belongs in a manifesto. I don't think this kind of manifesto is particularly useful, who is it going to convince to join your party?
"anarchist organizations like the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) or anti-fascist groups, can be in strategic unity with communist parties"
Political alliances are a clear violation of the IWW constitution and founding principles, I don't think that will ever happen.
"The IWW is a syndicalist organization that favors proletarian unity and militant unionism, but also opposes political struggle and the formation of a vanguard party."
The IWW doesn't describe itself as syndicalist, and basically none of the membership would refer to it that way, it's historians that assigned the label. Not strictly wrong, but just a little weird. That last bit isn't really the full truth, the IWW is opposed to a vanguard party and political struggle using it's name, but rather has a strong culture of dual membership. The IWW opposes vanguard parties the same way a building opposes cars: they aren't the same thing, and don't have exactly the same purpose. An FW would do political struggle through a political party, direct action through a local anti-fascist group, and even engage in business union organizing, and your branch/IU would think you an amazing comrade for it. It's about insulating the brand and organization from other issues to keep the focus on our thing: industrial socialism.
^tl;dr A union isn't a vanguard party, and shouldn't be.
Unlike certain other socialist organizations, being a member of a Marxist-Leninist demcent party won't stop or restrict from doing anything in the IWW. (Being a paid party official is a little different though, understandably).
Anyways, writing about the ToC and those two sentences is really all I have the energy for rn.
The Manifesto of the Communist Party was had an entire section refuting other nominal socialists.
The problem isn't that you complain about other socialists, that's entirely reasonable, basically every major socialist writer has done exactly that. It's the length I see as the issue, that section is thousands of words longer than the entire communist manifesto, and that doesn't even count the hundreds of mentions of revisionism scattered all over, particularly in the history section. Surely it could be more concise with the same message, so there's more airtime to talk about what you bring to the table.
May I ask who wrote the manifesto? (I won't be clicking on a google doc to find out)
You said you wanted to have a discussion but you're making crass your mom jokes when i ask a legitimate question about who wrote a manifesto that you're promoting?
Fuck it. Paul K. wrote it. Who is that? One of the greatest Marxists–Leninists–Maoists in the United States.
Thank you for actually answering. I assume, then, that Paul K is someone that you are working with to start the ACP (Maoist)?
So something I find really interesting is that Comrade Paul Kingsley, "one of the greatest Marxists-Leninists-Maoists in the United States" is a student who just turned 18 this year and last year he had to take a break from posting online because of "parental suppression."
Joining the high school Maoism club in hopes of getting a spot in the starting vanguard at the state PPW championship
What do you think a state PPW championship would look like? I'm imagining something like Takeshi's castle but with red imagery and crass and irreverent commentary in the style of MXC most extreme eliminations (Takeshi castle but dubbed over by Americans saying wild shit. Like obvs drop the racism, sexism, etc. But c'mon "Here's Fred Kaczynsky, the Email bomber!" dude fails to stick the landing and goes into the water "Fred, You Got Jailed!" Is just
of shitposting commentary.)
On the junior varsity vanguard but hoping I can make state
He is truly a man beyond his years.
You cannot be great in theory while being devoid of practice. You claim to be forming a party, a student will not have had the time to commit to serious practice. This kind of hubris is dogmatism, whole-cloth.
Nice gate-keeping. What if somebody lives in a conservative area where organizing is difficult? What if they read literally dozens of Marxist works?
Then they cannot test theory to practice, and thus fall into traps of idealism. Theory informs practice, and practice confirms or denies theory. This cycle is repeated over and over, sharpening theory and practice against each other. Without the other, each is dull. Take it from Mao:
Oppose Book Worship (emphasis mine)
That's why it's best to join a party, even if that means starting a book club as the basis and growing organically from there.
It is quite fortunate I am starting a book club in my local town.
Good for you! Take it as a lesson in humility, and stop calling yourselves the "greatest Marxist-Leninist-Maoist minds in the US." Without practice, you are duller than unformed clay. Joining an org is arguably the first step, theory comes second, as usually more experienced cadres can help teach you and correct your errors.
I am calling for a full shutdown of the United States until we can figure out what the hell is going on.
