Hello! I'm a history buff and a Marxist-Leninist. My ideology is Marxism-Leninism, more specifically Guevarism. Basically, I'm AuthLeft, economically far left, and culturally left (for the most part).

=Beliefs=

Economic Views
I believe capitalism to an exploitative force that solely enriches the wealthy of society. It stripes them of their freedom and humanity, while putting them in a what is basically de facto slavery. It might be a different business you work at, but they're all the same in motive. This is why I advocate for socialism.

I think a majority planned economy is the best economic system to use. Using computers and other types of technology, we'd be able to plan much quicker and more efficiently, especially if we used Artificial Intelligence to plan. I'd add in co-oporatives to the mix as well, which would involve workplace self-management and democracy of course.

Government
My government would be similar to that of Cuba. The vanguard (which I'm going to be getting into in a bit) would act as merely a tool to educate the population and build up socialism. Other than that, the government would be council based.

My system would work like this: The people would elect communal councils, who would elect city councils, who would elect regional/provincial councils, who would elect state councils, and then finally, elect the national legislature. The legislature would practice what is called  Democratic Centralism. In simple terms, discussion and criticism would be allowed while discussing something in the legislature, but after a decision was reached, everyone would have to agree with it. This would allow a middle ground between centralism (keeping of the party or legislature together) and democracy (allowing discussion all the time and disagreements.

10 Goals of Revolutionary Democracy

1) To overthrow the current neoliberal oligarchy, and establish a workers-peasants-soldiers government.

2) To nationalize the oil and healthcare industries.

3) To establish a revolutionary democracy with power to the workers' councils, equal rights for all, no matter race, gender, or sexual orientation.

4) To abolish the position of landlord, and create communal lands.

5) To implement a six-hour workday, or a thirty-hour workweek. This would come with 35 days of annual leave at a minimum.

6) To make college free and erase all student loan debt.

7) To guarantee equal rights for African-Americans, Natives, LGBT+, etc.

8) To replace the current prison system with a tamer and rehabilitation-focused system. This would mean the abolishing of the death penalty, and much more.

9) To encourage freedom of expression and speech for all citizens, so that a culture of transparency can form in politics.

10) To bring every person into government via a semi-direct democracy.

Revolutionary Democracy
As I've said before, my form of democracy would be based upon local councils, similar to the USSR and Cuba today. My society would affectively a no-party state, with decisions instead being based upon the people and local representatives from workers' councils. Everyone would be in a workers' councils; For example, retail workers would form their own council, industrial workers would form their own council, and even soldiers would have their own council. They would all send representatives up all the way to the Supreme Council, and from there make laws and decisions based upon the people. If a representative is unpopular, they can be recalled at anytime.

In Revolutionary Democracy, freedom of speech and press would be protected, and even promoted to promote transparency within the political sphere. However, we'd also have to operate things like internal security to defend our revolution.

Purpose of the Vanguard
The vanguard party would be made up of professional revolutionaries and intellectuals. Why should we have such an organization to exist? Simple: The material conditions of the West currently make it so that spontaneous action isn't likely. We currently live in a post-industrial society, where not many know about Marxism besides how bad it is. The task of the vanguard would be to carry out the revolution, which would be achieved by educating workers on Marxist theory, and drumming up support for such a system. After the revolution, the party would be tasked with educating the working class, and setting up socialism. Collective leadership would be practiced in the party, and like the legislature, democratic centralism would be practiced.

Social Issues
For the most part, I'm very progressive culturally. I'm for things like gay marriage, legalization of most drugs, abortion rights, transgender rights, etc. However, I'm for preserving some traditions that aren't reactionary.

I'm a huge Secularist, but not a  State Atheist. Religion is a powerful tool that can tear a government apart, and banning all religions will just help capitalists come and start a rebellion under the pretext of religion. That's why secularism is the best option for a socialist government, and not State Atheism.

For the most part, I'm fine with gun rights. It's mostly because before the revolution, having guns is you know.. good for revolution, and because after the revolution, people will be trying to attack us left and right, so we should train people to actually handle weapons, as these trained workers could form militias to help us fight any invader. Also, the conditions that cause things like shootings (poverty, mental health issues around the country, etc) wouldn't exist, or be as bad under socialism.

Abortion in my eyes is a right of woman to do. The fetuses aren't developed yet, and alive so no, it's not murder. If a woman doesn't want to give birth to a child, they should have the option to abort it.

As bisexual myself, I'm for the rights of members of the LGBT+ community. They're all human beings just like like you and me, and should be treated as such. However, some stuff like neopronouns have gotten way out of hand, and into the stupidity realm of things (cough cough Dreamsexuality cough cough).

Foreign Policy
I'd pursue a policy of protectionism and non-involvement in the affairs of the world, besides financing rebellions, and trade. This is because we should focus on building socialism at home before exporting said revolution. If socialism is not built up and still in infancy when exporting it is ready, these revolutions will die. Preferably though, a revolution would start across the world at around the same time, to help ensure the survival of such rebellion.

My thoughts on foreign countries -

First of, the US and the West in general. These countries are built off the exploitation of others at home and abroad, and finance reactionaries to help them continue this exploitation. Therefore, we should take an active role against them, and their imperialistic policies. The USA has a history of thiefdom, genocide, and more disgusting acts. (Manifest Destiny inspired the Nazi idea of Lebensraum)

Secondly, the AES countries. Despite my criticisms towards many of the AES countries (most of them towards China), I will support them for practical reasons, as these are the countries that will stand up against the unipolar world dominated by the USA.

On Kosovo vs Serbia, Kosovo should have the right of self-determination, but they should of held a referendum for independence and tried to work out something with Serbia before doing so. Overall, my opinion's neutral.

On the Cuban Embargo, it shouldn't of been done in the first place, and it should of been removed a long time. It's effectively a genocide of the Cuban population designed to starve the population so that another neo-colonial regime can jump in and let the U.S exploit the third world even more.

Finally... Israel and Palestine I think it's pretty obvious what my take is on the situation considering my political beliefs, but for those who can't figure it out - Israel is committing settler colonialism against the Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza, to create an ethnostate with no room for minorities.

Reform or Revolution?
I think it's pretty obvious which I prefer, but for the smoll brains here; Revolution 95% of the time. Reforms are just concessions to the working class, and can be overturned at any time. Therefore, revolution is the best option. However, reform can be used to help pave the way FOR a revolution.

Political Journey
---> // ---> // --->// ---> // ---> //

Apolitical (2007-2019)

Like everyone, I was apolitical for a while. I didn't really care about politics for a while, even during the 2016 election. However, my love for history led me to politics.

Libertarian/Alt-Lite Period (2019-March 2021)

At this time, I called myself a libertarian, and watched many libertarian channels, but I had culturally centre right views on things like abortion. This had mostly been an adoption of my dad's views. This lasted a while, however I'd slowly start deradicalizing and moving left.

Third Way Libertarian Period (March 2021-August 2021

At this time, I'd start realizing how stupid many libertarian thinking points were, and I'd start to watch youtubers like Kraut. I'd basically become a Third Way Libertarian, being a libertarian in most aspects, but liking things like public healthcare and welfare.

Left-Libertarian Period (August 2021-January 2022)

I'd start to become more disillusioned with the current political sphere, and would grow more radical in my demands. I'd be a Libertarian Social Democrat for a while, however I'd soon become even more radical, becoming more like a Liberal Socialist of some sorts, especially when I discovered Adam Something and Vaush.

Libertarian Marxist Period (January 2022-April 2022)

At this point, I'd be much more politically literate, and would start looking into Marxism, and I'd like it a lot, especially after discovering BadEmpanada, Hakim, and Viki1999's channels. However, I'd carry on the anti-authoritarianism of my last few phases.

Current Marxist-Leninist Phase (April 2022-)

I'd look more into Lenin, and would start reading his works. I'd also realize that America needed a vanguard if we're ever to have a revolution. Watching ML youtubers like Hakim and Second Thought would help me transition to an State Socialist as well.

Music I listen to
I mostly listen to genres like alt-rock and heavy metal, and sometimes rap. My favorite band is probably Rage Against the Machine, tied with it being Sabaton and System of a Down.

- Eh, Adam Something has based views on transportation but that's about it.
 * [[File:NeoML.png]] - True, but a lot of his takes are just stuff that have already been said before. His takes got worse after he started simping for Ukraine's government and NATO.
 * - Anyways, I'm very interested to see where you are going with your ideology.

I agree with all of your social issues. But I disagree with drugs. You have to fight drugs.] DragonRed add me. you look based.

Nekoqing: Seems based, add me.

Could you add me please, I have a user page here https://polcompball.miraheze.org/wiki/UserWiki:Anglo-germanic_socialist
 * [[File:NeoML.png]] - Did it.

Thanks for calling me based comrade-anglo germanic socialist

DragonRed

I agree with all of your social issues. But I disagree with drugs. You have to fight drugs.
 * [[File:NeoML.png]] - Eh, I think the Portuguese strategy of legalizing most drugs is most effective. We should then getting those addicted help, while taxing the sale of these harmful substances to discourage use. The Drug Wars across the world haven't done much but cause even more drug use, as we can see across the United States and Latin America.

- Vaush is based and redpilled.
 * - Very true

DragonRed

Vaush is a libtard. Neo conservative, pro-imperialist. They have very nasty opinions. An opportunist liberal.
 * - Ok, and?

- Can you add me? also i find it funny how so many MLs here put Kaiser in Bringe, like its very telling that you put a literal proto-fascist on the kinda good kinda bad category and put literal conservatives and reactionaries on the based category just because they believe in ML economics
 * [[File:NeoML.png]] - I didn't know much about him besides he was a Monarcho-Syndicalist of some sorts, but I'm gonna change it now knowing he's a fascist. Thanks for informing me.

DragonRed How would you describe the Portuguese strategy?


 * [[File:NeoML.png]] - Most drugs would be decriminalized, and those with addiction to drugs would be rehabilitated instead of punished for it.
 * - This shows that you haven't even read the Wikipedia about the Portuguese model. The Portuguese model was DECRIMINIZATION, not legalization.
 * [[File:NeoML.png]] - Wrong choice of words, should of said decriminalized and not legalized. Thanks for catching it and letting me know.

I added you, pls add me back -

- Wanna add me?

 * [[File:NeoML.png]] - Done.

- Add me pls.
 * [[File:NeoML.png]] - Done.
 * - Can you add your views on Kemalism?
 * - Kemalist nationalism isn’t racism. Many notable theorists of Kemalism like Ismet Inonu and Bülent Ecevit were Kurdish. It’s just cultural nationalist and assimilationist.

- I have added you to my page. Add me back please?

TheJester - Can you add me when you get a chance?
