(Seizing the state and then slowly reforming it is still slowly reforming it)

    This is an anti-historical take. You can disagree with ML methods or ideology while still acknowledging where they have had material success in bringing about wins for the working class.

      Uhh no, as you can clearly see the ML is the NPC character so they’re unequivocally in the wrong here. Duh.

      Really, that’s very interesting. I didn’t know marxist-leninists did any communist revolutions. I thought they only did socialist revolutions, and then expected the state to magically wither away over time. Of course, as you and I both know, Marx defined communism as stateless, so socialism with a state is not communism, and a revolution that doesn’t immediately dismantle the state isn’t a revolution producing communism. Could you give me any historical examples of marxist-leninists doing communist revolutions? Because honestly I thought only anarchists had ever done a real communist revolution.
