  • it's not like the original version makes any more sense tbh.

    if I was to redo it I would probably make the negative Y axis reflect degree of authority used against bourgeois elements, because the positive Y is reflecting authority used by the bourgeois

  • after sleeping on this, makes me think that I should have put flipped the anarchist and communist positions.

    if the value of positive Y correlates with degree of authority used against workers then the negative Y axis should really correspond to degree of authority used against against bourgeois elements.

  • but did Luxemburg deny the need for a vanguard party altogether

    from my understanding she was opposed to that type of centralization, from the organizational questions of the Russian social democracy:

    Granting, as Lenin wants, such absolute powers of a negative character to the top organ of the party, we strengthen, to a dangerous extent, the conservatism inherent in such an organ. If the tactics of the socialist party are not to be the creation of a Central Committee but of the whole party, or, still better, of the whole labor movement, then it is clear that the party sections and federations need the liberty of action which alone will permit them to develop their revolutionary initiative and to utilize all the resources of the situation. The ultra-centralism asked by Lenin is full of the sterile spirit of the overseer. It is not a positive and creative spirit. Lenin’s concern is not so much to make the activity of the party more fruitful as to control the party – to narrow the movement rather than to develop it, to bind rather than to unify it.

    she also talked about it in "The Russian Revolution" after they took power, chapter 5 + 6 were the relevant sections in that

    Fair enough, I was basically just commenting because you invited feedback, though I’m sure you know that.

    no worries, it's welcome!

  • I think polcomp as a format should just be abandoned because it’s not helpful

    I gotta agree, it really struggles to capture any nuance, rest assured this is meant to be a joke

    I very strongly disagree with the characterization of Marxism as being ideologically less democratic than anarchism unless your claim is that republicanism itself is less democratic than direct democracy, which I think is a frivolous objection.

    Case in point: I kind of intended anything below 0 on the y axis to be broadly opposed to the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, while positive is in support of it. Then it was to be a measure of how much it is a proletarian dictatorship vs class society being abolished.

    The issue I saw is that 'democracy' as an axis can mean so many different things, depending on the economic and political context. This is more an artifact of how rigid the template is. As you pointed out, it doesn't cleanly break one way or the other.

    I basically agree with your placement of China, and your placement of Tito as more opposed to Dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie than Lenin is ridiculous.

    Tito should probably be on the same level all the same, I honestly wasn't thinking too hard and had him and Teto next to eachother at one point before re-arranging things.

  • my accounts of being banned on hexbear

    Jump

  • quoting an older response I saw to you here:

    you just sort of say your thing and move on, even if you pose yourself as seeking conversation. This is exemplified by how you constantly say the same things unprompted over and over even when not a single person has responded positively to some of it, and there's no apparent effort to change what you're saying to even account for that, even if it's just presenting an argument differently (though normally you don't even really argue, you just declare).

    you did that same sort of behavior about the ongoing genocide and got banned.

    you go into a Marxist/anarchist space and act confused when people react negatively to someone pushing a reformist social democrat line.

    YDI.

  • If you want to get banned just start insulting people like the op.

    additionally feel free to let your fashy friends know that I'm on payroll for both Putin AND Xi for my sfw online posting activities. I also collect checks from George Soros for in-person work that upsets conservatives.

  • it's a Marxist/anarchist space, and tankie is not a meaningful term, it's an epithet for punching left. if you're expressing contrition maybe stop acting like every other social democrat shitter running around here.

  • Wasn't me, but you can post in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com if you want discussion of a moderation action you received.

    I would have probably given you a temp ban, but considering you just got banned from a hexbear account for the same sort of activity and are now complaining about 'tankies' in this very thread, that would probably have been too kind.

    secondly, i sincerely promise to act in good faith and learn a bit more when it comes to socialism/communism. i sincerely hope you forgive me.

    do you think hexbear is run by tankies who DIDN’T realize that you DON’T have to support stalin to support marxism-leninism?

    hmmmm sounds like good faith to me
