    I didn’t mean to disagree with you. Just add that they are formally open to other leftist viewpoints but not effectively.

    And yes, you will get alot of strawmans like Engels’ On Authority. If you want an analysis of the text, this video debunks it quite well

      Are you an anti-Engels Marxist? I’m sorry, I think I actually agree with downvoting you, lol. That’s silly.

        No, I’m not a Marxist. I agree with him in some points and agree with some libertarian Marxists but at the end, they say alot of stuff Bakunin, Kropotkin, Goldman, … said long before

          So… why are you surprised that you get downvoted for being an Anarchist in a Marxist-Leninist space?

            I’m not surprised. If anything, I was surprised to be accepted into it at the first place. Sometimes I’m surprised by the low level of education some people have. You mentioned Catalonia. Some people don’t seem to know nor want to know anything about the Spanish civil war or the anything. I sometimes try to argue with people from different ideologies because I think it’s an opportunity for all to grow and sharpen their position but I’m not surprised to be downvoted. In no comment of this thread did I express surprise

              no, the Catalonians betrayed the revolution, so they were working together with the francoists, because we need a big daddy strongman in charge!

                Not sure if joking or stupid. I tend to the former but being on the internet long enough, I can’t rule out the latter

                  i would hope the mockery of the needs for a strongman to lead the “revolution” would give it away

                    Ok, that gave you away. I mean, the bolsheviks didn’t even want a revolution but allied with the republicans to build a liberal bourgeois democracy

              So then it seems like an accepting place for people to learn about Marxism-Leninism, but is primarily a space for Marxism-Leninism.
