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.

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.

Hypothetical Political Party Following My Beliefs

Workers' Party

 * [[File:Lpop.png]] Left-Wing Populism

 * [[File:Castro.png]] Castroism
 * [[File:Globnat.png]] Alter-Globalization

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..China. China is well.. state capitalist. The government hasn't achieved socialism yet, and they say they're planning to try and achieve it by 2050. The government doesn't provide much for their citizens. For example, public healthcare insurance only provides 1/2 of medical costs, meaning you still have to pay the other half. This isn't as bad as say, the US, and there has been improvements on it, but this isn't very good still for a self-proclaimed Marxist-Leninist country, considering you still have to pay for part of it. (Oh yeah, they don't have universal healthcare). Another thing is that the Belt and Road Initiative is basically just another way for China to gain soft power and expand influence. I'll give China one thing: Their imperialism is 10x better than American imperialism, and I'd rather have a loan from China than the United States.

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.

=Comments=


 * fuck yeeeeessssss finally another based comrade

- 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.

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]] - Alright.


 * I added you, could you add me please?

- I’ve added you add me back?
