Irrelevance of Marxists (Leninists/Trots/Maoists)

This is a response to a rant entitled "Revolutionary Theory(!)" (a comment on the article "Race, Anarchy, and Punk Rock") which can be found on:

There is a very interesting discussion thread that came out of this article on the global indymedia site, at the link below:

anti-communism is not warranted

10.04.2001 15:57

Without communism, the world has no hope.

Anarchism is not a solution, it's just a middle class expression.

keep up to date

For those of you who have the privillege to see the world through the 'Windows' of a computer screen.

Communism will never die, only multiply.

As a Latin American; I can assure you.

In solidarity with Marxist guerillas in the Andes at present. The FARC and ELN.

VIVA LA REVOLUCION!!!!

Do you realize how insanely stupid you sound right now? You obviously never bothered to read and respond to the critiques that have been made here, and instead resort to empty rhetoric which exposes that you have no idea what anarchism even is, except for the usual shit your central committee told you about how we're just "a middle class expression." If I didn't say it here, you or some other dimwit would have wrote back saying how we're "petit-bourgeouise," another marxists' favorite.

As a fellow privileged being who has an access to a computer AND as a chican@ american, let me assure you: COMMUNISM IS ALREADY DEAD, with or without the guerilla armies with an outdated, dogmatic ideology. History has proven how "revolutionary" it is.

IMC UK sucks

11.04.2001 14:19

Is this supposed to be a news headline?
Sorry, but IMC UK you suck so bad. What a wasted opportunity, a dream of independent media up in smoke of the self-obsessed insular rts agenda. It just gets worse... aren't you embarrassed?
Incidentally while you carry on with your poshboy hobby (hoping to work for the 'real' media one day ) the struggle goes on in the real world. Check it out sometime.

Communism is also anarchism

12.04.2001 13:15

It's important to distinguish between stalinism/trotskyism/maoism and communism/anarchism.
communism and anarchism are the same thing, it stands for a society organised and controlled democratically from below by the common pleibius which includes peasents farmers and the unemployed, pensioners, students, and yes the workers as well. We would live in a world community where their is no state, no government, no rulers, no elites, and no money, that is my understanding of communism and i believe also anarchism correct me if i'm wrong please?

Maoism stalinism trotskyism are little more than ism's given to various individuals who whilst they apparently talked about communism in reality they wer little more than middle classs cliques who used the genuine grievances of workers and peasents and others in order to seize the state apparatus for themselves ie russia china romania etc in no way were these cliques remotely interested in the struggle for communism only in enriching themselves.

Stop the arguing

14.04.2001 10:59

You know if we are going to achieve anything in our struggle we are going to have to stop arguing. The grassroots globalization movement's greatest strength is its diversity, so lets move away from slagging each other of and actually discuss how we are going to solve the world's problems.
