i’m NOT even sure if this is the right community for me to post this on. that said, i got banned from hexbear (and now banned from posting stuff on !slop@hexbear.net from this lemmy instance) for “history of repeating us state department talking points, antisocialism and zionism” as well as possible “fedposting”.
i DON’T usually complain about hexbear, but part is me’s glad i got banned from hexbear - of course that site is mostly run by tankies.
of course you DON’T have to be a tankie to support marxism-leninism - i asked this question here, and some people said ‘you DON’T have to support stalin to support ml’.
i think that the ussr would’ve been better off today if the ussr continued to led by a troika after lenin’s death in 1924, but who am i to judge? i prefer lemmy.ml (another lemmy instance).
i apologize to any hexbear people reading this, and i’m sorry i called you tankies. seriously!
China has a cooperative party system with the CPC being the main governing body. It’s different from a liberal system, and further these extra parties are more like interest groups. Their focus is on unity, not on competing with the CPC.
As for the DPRK, it pretty much has full WPK control. The other parties aren’t genuinely competing with the WPK, more trying to tilt it in a different direction.
No socialist country really has these intense liberal elections with competing interests.
if a socialist country has multiple parties that DOESN’T have any way of competing, what would it be like?
also, can a socialist country have like-minded parties that “support the socialist order”, but regardless competes with each other (as their ideologies are in the socialist spectrum)?
I think you’d do better to understand what does exist and why, for now, before trying to invent new ways.
can you explain?
Study existing socialist structures in practice right now and why they function as such before trying to invent your own socialist structure and claim it’s better.
i’m NOT even saying that that structure is better. that said, do you have any resources (like audiobooks and .pdfs for reading, for example)?
I’ve provided you with various different formats to learn from
okay
i think that there’d still be multiple political parties, but all of them would support different forms of socialism/communism (from across the socialist spectrum); they’d still cooperate together in a ‘vanguard coalition’, led by the communist party which serves as the foremost social institution), but they’d still compete in elections and such.
These “different forms” you suggested are entirely incompatible with each other. That’s a recipe for infighting and instability.
when i say “different forms”, i mean forms like regular marxism, de leonism, councilism, liberal socialism and mutualism. i also find democratic centralism to be pretty interesting, especially the part about open debate before unified voting, and i’d add that to the equation. seriously!
These are completely different structures that you can’t smash together into one system.
