there are better names than ACP for a US communist party
This manifesto dictates I call it the American Communist Party (Maoist).
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.
