Funny how that line doesn’t apply when tankies and “totally I’m an anarchist you guys” are hostile towards capitalists and liberals. It’s only people who aren’t tankies who are obligated to not ‘fight a two-front war’, here meaning ‘saying anything in any context against the opposition’.
I read that three times and still don’t understand it. If I could pee in a cup to prove I’m not a Marxist Leninist I would. I ally with them, because I hate capitalism too. This has happened before in history. Capitalism is unsustainable and destroying the planet. It will fail. What do you want to replace it with? Capitalism lite? I understand that planned economies are the only viable option for the future. I would prefer council communism or anarchist-syndicalism, but they have never been undertaken at such a large scale. If Marxist-Leninism is the best path at that time , I’ll understand. My concern is climate change. By holding on to liberalism/capitalism you and your ilk are dooming us all.
In simpler terms, you yourself have spent ample time in this very comment section criticizing liberals and then turning right back around and saying that if liberals criticize tankies, they’re waging a ‘two-front war’ and actually helping the fascists.
I didn’t bring it up because I dislike tankies and their useful idiots, but I’m not a supporter of capitalism, certainly not in the long-term. And a planned economy is certainly fucking not the only way forward.
The only thing MLs bring is a complete misunderstanding of Marx’s work in exchange for some really strange idealistic pseudo-religious dogma about vanguards and just murdering enough kulaks to REALLY achieve communism this time, honest; completely ignoring the historical dialectic which was so fucking central to Marx and Engel’s theories.
You seem to think that socialism/communism in America would be like Soviet Russia. It could be, would that not be better for the planet? It may be something better? I’m intrigued. What economy would be better for the planet than a planned economy? Bartering? Sex for rations?
