Everything I said is true and you didn't refute any of it.

When you order beef and the waiter brings chicken, you point out the mistake. When the waiter bites your nose, what do you do?

This is a leftist space. Debunking is something done in general forums, when you're trying to inform the audience. No one here is gonna waste their precious time debunking any of that for the 100th time lol

You made me think of this short essay by my countryman Jones Manoel: Western Marxism, the Fetish for Defeat, and Christian Culture (2020)

I want to argue that there was no reason to recommend him before. Nothing will change my mind that Manufacturing Consent (1988) was written to distract from Inventing Reality (1986). Only one of those books has a dedicated Wikipedia page, and it's not the one written by the communist.

Any particular reason to look for a replacement?

Thank you, I enjoyed reading it

All hoxhaist parties are like that. I'm often disappointed with Unidade Popular pelo Socialismo here in Brazil, for the same reason. That said, they are not entirely useless either. They do a lot of organizing, including violent resistance at times. And they heavily promote reading classic marxist theory. I think it's important for us to criticize the mistakes of their political line, but the name calling, shallow criticism I often see is not โœจ dialectical โœจ (and tbh they also do that a lot)

I don't know a single thing about the American Party of Labor, though, except for procapra@lemmy.ml saying they are hoxhaists.

Copyright, patents, closed software, all of that are tools of the burgeoisie and should be (eventually) abolished.

What are your thoughts on this video essay by J. Draper? I think some takeaways are on point: We must organise, and we must stop fascists from organising. Though of course not much is said about how Capitalism inevitably leads to the rise of Fascism. And Thatcher's rise to power is mentioned in a single sentence toward the end, I think.

Do you see Lemmygrad primarily as a great space for studying theory among fellow communists and building solidarity in a protected space?

That's what I'd prefer. I like having a safe, moderated communist space. The level of discussion rises when you're not debating Stalin's big spoon, or some other western/imperialist/liberal propaganda.
