I think she has to toe the line because she is still the acting VP. Going against the president in that position is not a good look. That said it makes knowing her actual position there really tough.
I don't understand. Unless I am visualizing that wrong it's not mate? (I'm a Go player so there is a good chance I have no clue what I'm talking about if someone wants to explain)
That's interesting.... Communism is by definition stateless and without significant hierarchy. I don't think other Tankies would disagree with me there.
The ideological difference is in how we achieve communism. I would really suggest reading 'What is to be Done' by Lenin. It's a real short read but was one of the things that sold me on Marxism-Leninism vs. regular "Communism is a neat idea"
Capitalism will sell you the "you're your own boss, go forth an conquer" all while keeping you under their heel. There is no equality or opportunity there; but even worse is that they will worm their way into any system that does not harshly and consistently fight back against them. Ergo the need for a 'communist' (or rather pursuing communism) state.
That then leads into "Well how does the state go away once we've got communism?" That's a whole 'nother can of worms....
100 percent agreed. They'll group anything too far left of them under the same name. Don't care anymore. If they want to whine then fuck it, I'll wear the term.
