I agree. We must have a more principled stance on Marxism. This is not to mean that Left Unity is not possible, rather that it is limited. Anarchism and Marxism are fundamentally incompatible with each other, hence we should not even bother to consider uniting together. This should be served as a safe space for marxists.
As a person who's about to head to University in a few months and currently does Maths, Computer Science, and Business Studies, I can definitely state that any degree/subject which involves liberal topics such as Economics and Political Science are useless.
As an example, in Business Studies, it's always about the business. They just put the thing out there, "the business is what matters". Of course they delve into ethics and stuff but they don't care about that because businesses are supposed to be the best option. It's just capitalist realism combined with writing too much.
Economics is similar, it just doesn't involve businesses as much. It's just: "keep the economy going, line go up means world more gooder." It's an absolute joke. People with Economics or PoliSci degrees are also utterly atrocious and worse than marxists who don't hold any degree of the sort.
I'm surprised that this shit is being taught to begin with. It's all liberal nonsense, really. I don't have much on PoliSci, but someone here made a series of posts where it delves into the liberal nature of PoliSci.
That China Bad Times Article about Wisconcom is still on the table and I think I'm bound to create one at this point.
The UK wanted to have a unified legal definition of 'sex'. Scotland agreed to this but later on changed this with the Gender Recognition Bill to have a different legal definition of what 'sex' is. The CPB opposes this, saying it will create 'legal chaos', basically stating that there would be differences in how it's being carried out. The UK only recognises changes in sex only when there is gender dysphoria. Scotland changes this to ensure that anyone over the age of 16 can change their sex without needing to have gender dysphoria. The CPB thinks that a 'unified' legal definition of sex would help the UK somehow?
Not really. When it comes to Communist Parties in the UK, you either have revisionist parties or transphobic parties. There is almost nothing in regards to principled ML orgs.
Software Engineering is closer to Computer Science than to actual Engineering. It does involve some engineering problems and solutions, but overall, it mostly is programming. Even if you check university courses, the CS and SE content are pretty much the same with little differences between them.
Basically be an adventurist, ruin the name of socialism in Peru, and cause a massacre of peasants which basically lead to the downfall of the party. He was also against modern socialist nations, calling them revisionist.
They think the DPRK is bourgeois because it doesn't align with their theory, it's as simple as that.
Laos really hasn't put anything revolutionary regarding theory-wise, and combined with the fact that Laos never really was unique among its other nations (China with Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, DPRK with Juche), it just kind of fell into obscurity for the most part.
Nonetheless, it would be ideal to study this as long as we got theory for it. Unfortunately, the theory is sparse or hard to find, meaning that we don't really have a solid basis.
