You should have put a third option on this poll, because sabatoge and vandalism can take both a violent and nonviolent form. The correct answer is "Yes and No," because sabatoge and vandalism can sometimes manifest in a violent manner (such as blowing up a factory), and sometimes it can manifest in a peaceful or harmless manner (such as doing graffiti on a wall).
"America has the leader that it deserves at this particular point in Empire. The Empire is coming apart at the seams - the last white supremacist settler project in 500 years... they're going to lose - they've already lost."
The world is divided up into two opposing camps, the camp of a small handful of capitalists and the camp of the majorityโthe proletarians. The proletarians work day and night; nevertheless, they remain poor. The capitalists do not work; nevertheless, they are rich. This takes place not because the proletarians are unintelligent and the capitalists are geniuses, but because the capitalists appropriate the fruits of the labor of the proletarians. The capitalists exploit the proletarians.
I don't know what it is specifically about the PSL that you don't like, and I don't know if the PSL can be considered a political cult or grifters, but I do agree that a group shouldn't be trusted simply because they label themselves Marxist, etc, because many of them, like the ACP, are disingenuous.
I don't know where you got far-right groups from. The original post doesn't mention anything about far-right groups or them posing as leftist groups. The original post refers to the groups people should avoid as "tankies," which is a pejorative for Marxist-Leninist, and "vanguards," clearly referring to Marxist-Leninist vanguardism. It is very clear that the above post is suggesting that people not organize with Marxist-Leninists.
Be weary of anybody that tries to convince you that Marxist-Leninist organizations are bad without providing any evidence, and even if they do provide evidence, fact check them to make sure that the evidence is accurate and not an exaggeration or misrepresentation.
So you do think that fascism is "when capitalism does really bad things?" It seems like you had very horrible experiences under capitalism and then mislabeled those experiences "fascism."
Exactly, and yet anarchists have the audacity to lampoon Marxism. Stalin was right in his book "Anarchism or Socialism?" The whole book explains perfectly the problems with anarchism and how anarchists oftentimes don't even know what they're talking about when they criticize Marxism.
Convincing people to not organize with Marxist-Leninists is just about the dumbest and most self-destructive advice you could possibly give the working class. Yeah, workers shouldn't organize with the people who actually know what they're doing.
