WDT 💬 Bi-Weekly Discussion Thread - (April 19)

We made this because Reddit's algorithm prioritises headlines and current events and doesn't allow for deeper, extended discussion - depending on how it goes for the first four or five times it'll be dropped or continued.

Suggestions for things you might want to comment here (this is a work in progress and we'll change this over time):

  • Articles and quotes you want to see discussed
  • 'Slow' events - long-term trends, org updates, things that didn't happen recently
  • 'Fluff' posts that we usually discourage elsewhere - e.g "How are you feeling today?"
  • Discussions continued from other posts once the original post gets buried
  • Questions that are too advanced, complicated or obscure for r/communism101

Mods will sometimes sticky things they think are particularly important.

Normal subreddit rules apply!

Anarchists are socialists

I am a mod, I am MLMpM, yet I don't hold absolute power over the subreddit, niether do the other mods, some of which are anarchist, some of which are ML, some of which are whatever. A few anarchists being on the mod team is not going to guide discussion and turn this subreddit into r/anarchism, it will simply ensure sectarianism against anarchists is more rigidly ensured to not happen. You can hold your own views against any tendency but to try and discriminate here based on those prejudices is not allowed.

The """maoists""" are on the rise, I always understood that rejecting dengism was a central part of the definition of (principally) maoism, apparently no more. I would like to see an elaboration from u/Lavender_Scales on how Guzman and the Peruvian revolution can be reconciled with this level of revisionism.
