  • The way Mao writes, at least how it comes across in translation… that man had no interest in flowery prose, he just wanted to communicate important information as concisely as possible. That’s Autistic Communication 101 right there.

    We came to the same conclusion by different means, lol

    “This time we will make something that is both beautiful and delicious.”

    • Mao to Stalin, 1949 (they were not in a bakery)

  • He doesn’t want to get Corbyn’d

    Writing in The Jewish Chronicle in November 2018 about antisemitism in the Labour Party, Marie van der Zyl said, “Over the summer, we showed how we could keep this issue of antisemitism on the front pages day after day, week after week, exacting a severe political and reputational cost for continued failure.”[27] In 2019, following Jeremy Corbyn’s decision to resign as leader of the Labour Party, the Board asked candidates for the leadership to sign up to ten pledges in order to “end the antisemitism crisis”. The pledges included a resolution of outstanding disciplinary cases, lifetime membership bans for some individuals, an independent disciplinary process, full and unconditional adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism, and engagement with the mainstream Jewish community. Most of the candidates for leader or deputy leader signed up unconditionally.[28][29]












  • Thanks, interesting site. I found something on there relating to my question, from “Why Marxism?”:

    The ideological struggle for a correct political strategy is fierce, even among those who already have identified capitalism as the enemy. Reigning perspectives in the West could be broadly described by three categories: the Reformists (e.g. social democrats, legalists), the Anarchists (e.g. mutualists, syndicalists), and the Marxists (whoever “extends the recognition of class struggle to the recognition of the dictatorship of the proletariat”). [1]

    Emphasis mine. Seems like there are different definitions of what it means to be Marxist.
