Discussion Community for fellow Marxist-Leninists and other Marxists.

Rules for /c/communism

Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.

  1. No non-marxists

This subreddit is here to facilitate discussion between marxists.

There are other communities aimed at helping along new communists. This community isn't here to convert naysayers to marxism.

If you are a member of the police, armed forces, or any other part of the repressive state apparatus of capitalist nations, you will be banned.

  1. No oppressive language

Do not attempt to justify your use of oppressive language.

Doing this will almost assuredly result in a ban. Accept the criticism in a principled manner, edit your post or comment accordingly, and move on, learning from your mistake.

We believe that speech, like everything else, has a class character, and that some speech can be oppressive. This is why speech that is patriarchal, white supremacist, cissupremacist, homophobic, ableist, or otherwise oppressive is banned.

TERF is not a slur.

  1. No low quality or off-topic posts

Posts that are low-effort or otherwise irrelevant will be removed.

This is not a place to engage in meta-drama or discuss random reactionaries on lemmy or anywhere else.

This includes memes and circlejerking.

This includes most images, such as random books or memorabilia you found.

We ask that amerikan posters refrain from posting about US bourgeois politics. The rest of the world really doesn’t care that much.

  1. No basic questions about marxism

Posts asking entry-level questions will be removed.

Questions like “What is Maoism?” or “Why do Stalinists believe what they do?” will be removed, as they are not the focus on this forum.

  1. No sectarianism

Marxists of all tendencies are welcome here.

Refrain from sectarianism, defined here as unprincipled criticism. Posts trash-talking a certain tendency or marxist figure will be removed. Circlejerking, throwing insults around, and other pettiness is unacceptable.

If criticisms must be made, make them in a principled manner, applying Marxist analysis.

The goal of this subreddit is the accretion of theory and knowledge and the promotion of quality discussion and criticism.

El Buró Político del Comité Central del Partido Comunista de Venezuela (PCV) hace un llamado a las fuerzas genuinamente democráticas, populares y patrióticas a unir fuerzas para defender la voluntad del pueblo venezolano que se expresó este domingo 28 de julio con una clara intención de cambio político en el país.

Alertamos a la opinión pública internacional que así como el Gobierno de Nicolás Maduro ha despojado al pueblo venezolano de sus derechos sociales y económicos, hoy pretende privarlo de sus derechos democráticos.

La denuncia de un supuesto intento de vulneración del sistema electoral, hecha por el presidente del Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE), Elvis Amoroso, lejos de brindar las garantías necesarias al proceso, profundizan las dudas sobre los resultados presentados al país. En tal sentido, exigimos al CNE la publicación de la totalidad de las actas de votación ─tal y como lo establece el reglamento electoral─ así como la máxima transparencia en el escrutinio de los resultados.

La proclamación de Nicolás Maduro como presidente reelecto bajo este escenario de incertidumbre en el que los resultados presentados por Amoroso contrastan abiertamente con el ánimo que imperó durante la jornada electoral, no es más que una provocación que abre paso a la configuración de situaciones de violencia.

En estos momentos se registran espontáneas movilizaciones populares en distintos puntos del país. Desde el PCV no solamente respaldamos el clamor de respeto a la voluntad popular, sino que hacemos un llamado a las fuerzas militares y policiales a no reprimir al pueblo.

En estas horas decisivas para el presente y futuro del país, las y los comunistas ratificamos nuestra convicción de construir espacios de amplia unidad para fortalecer la lucha por la recuperación de la Constitución y el estado de derecho en Venezuela.

¡Gobierne quien gobierne, los derechos se defienden!

Caracas, 29 de julio de 2024

TL;DR: They are questioning the legitimacy of Maduro as a winner, claiming he is undermining voting rights, while ignoring the growing right-wing reaction and coup attempt against Maduro

PCV is basically voicing reaction, to the point they even use liberal wording about "democratic rights" in a bourgeois state

I had the displeasure of encountering this yesterday. Some libs were using it as a proof that everyone despite of their political position opposes Marudo in Venezuela.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago

Everyone except the majority of the people who have voted in favor of him. Funny how democracy isn't an option if it doesn't align with liberal world views.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Yes I saw the same, liberals and “leftists” citing this statement as proof that the election was fraud and that we should also believe so because “our” party said so.

This is exactly why I've been saying for years we can't criticise China

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I understand your sentiment, but I think there is a huge difference between constructive criticism and calling for it's overthrow

There's no difference to liberals

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Because with liberals, the purpose is different

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

They put out this tweet calling for everyone to join up with the right wing uprising.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The party line of the DKP, at least according to Unsere Zeit, is support for the PCV against the PSUV, which they call socdem and reactionary

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I always laugh at these analyses. So they're against PSUV, but for... the neoliberal opposition with ties to the US?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

No, they're against the neolibs too, they are playing the both sides bad card and staunchly upholding PCV and nobody else

Translation

The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) calls on the genuinely democratic, popular and patriotic forces to join forces to defend the will of the Venezuelan people who expressed themselves this Sunday, July 28, with a clear intention of change. politician in the country.

We alert international public opinion that just as the Government of Nicolás Maduro has stripped the Venezuelan people of their social and economic rights, today it intends to deprive them of their democratic rights.

The complaint of an alleged attempt to violate the electoral system, made by the president of the National Electoral Council (CNE), Elvis Amoroso, far from providing the necessary guarantees to the process, deepens the doubts about the results presented to the country. In this sense, we demand that the CNE publish all the voting records ─as established by the electoral regulations─ as well as maximum transparency in the scrutiny of the results.

The proclamation of Nicolás Maduro as re-elected president under this scenario of uncertainty in which the results presented by Amoroso openly contrast with the mood that prevailed during election day, is nothing more than a provocation that opens the way to the configuration of situations of violence.

At this time, spontaneous popular mobilizations are being recorded in different parts of the country. From the PCV we not only support the cry for respect for the popular will, but we call on the military and police forces not to repress the people.

In these decisive hours for the present and future of the country, we communists ratify our conviction to build spaces of broad unity to strengthen the fight for the recovery of the Constitution and the rule of law in Venezuela.

Whoever governs, rights are defended!
