      We are marxist-leninists, pro LGBTQ, anti-imperialist and understand capitalism should be understood through science. We get trolls but if you sincerely want to learn then ask away.

        Why do you guys pick the Soviet style of Marxist-Leninism? And by doing so, ingesting Russian imperialism (as evident by other comments on this post). Why not go with some other style, like Yugoslav? Which was, to my knowledge, very anti imperialist.

          You sound like you are not on the receiving end of imperialism and colonisation hence the speculation about what imperialism may be rather than what it actually it is.

          It is difficult convincing otherwise someone who may potentially materially benefit from western imperialism (you are not alone, a lot of us here are too and therefore we engage in class betrayal) but if you are curious and interested in further reading:

          If you could only read one book then it would be the last one recommended above.

            This what Russia is doing since Putin came to power. And what the USA is doing since Breton Woods. And what China is doing since invasion of Tibet. And so on and so on.

              How about the genocide the US did to come into existence? The dozen genocides britain, france, belgium and others did? How about the genocide germany and the us arw doing in palestine right now?

              You do seem to use a definition that includes use of the monetary system since you mention breton woods.

              So how about the imf destabilizing dozens of countries around the world by austerity measures, leading to the west gaining massively cheap resources on average.

          Soviet style of Marxist-Leninism

          So Marxism-Leninism?

          And by doing so, ingesting Russian imperialism (as evident by other comments on this post).

          You lack reading comprehension, understanding of Marxism-Leninism and material reality.

          Neither was the USSR imperialist nor was Yugoslavia ML.

          Yugoslavia evaporated the instant the USSR wasn’t around, they needed them to provide an umbrella from the West and without that buffer they imploded violently.

            Aha, so Soviet Union has been protecting Yugoslavia. That’s why Yugoslavs dug themselves into mountains and made bunkers along the iron curtain line with soviet satellites.

              And how did that work out for them? Did it stop Yugoslavia from being destroyed?

              I guess you think it’s just a coincidence that Yugoslavia barely lasted a year without the USSR.
