what if the book is Che Guevaras "Guerrilla Warfare"

what is "authoritarianism" to you?

well that's just childish isn't it

oh ok so bhreznevites

yes because it's not anything intelligent enough to be thoughtfully argued against. a 7 year old could see the holes in such an idea

I think a better term is "Campist" which is the trend within revisionist marxists to side with one imperialist camp to oppose another. it's the same shit the SPD did during WW1

well socialism has the proletariat as the ruling class, this is true in Marxism & anarchism even if anarchists word it differently

wow!

is revolution not putting the authority of the people over those in power, and bringing those people low? that's "hierarchy"

2023, where the maoist New People's Army is a stronghold for human rights & dignity for the Filipino people, engaged in open war against the truly authoritarian & cruel, Imperialist backed Phillipine Republic

well some people who are called "tankies" do. some of them are just rabid bhreznevites

maoists??? I think you should read anything by mao. he was anything but "authoritarian", he spend most of his time after 1949 taking a sledgehammer to bureaucracy & encouraging communities to be self reliant

there's a trend towards that, which can be combatted & has been by communist parties. Stalin had a pretty incoherent plan to combat rightist tendencies within the communist party, assuming the problem stemmed from external meddling. Mao actually shared your view in that bureaucracy rots socialism, and that it needs to be decreased as the people are helped towards being self reliant, ready to self manage the economy & have suitable industry to run the country with. that's why the cultural revolution happened, to fight bureaucracy
