  • Both Marx (and Engels by extension) and Lenin were extraordinarily important in developing a revolutionary worldview. It’s important to preserve their names as they are both an unavoidable source of knowledge. Removing one or the other completely scars both. Just so you see how this is important, there are a lot of Marxists who ignore Engels’ contribution, I’d say simply because Marx is more known than Engels, and thus, more prone to be read. The fact that our science is called “Marxism” undoubtedly has contributed to this. So preserving Marxism-Leninism is important to not diminish the contributions of one or the other.

    This paragraph alone would have been enough to answer OP’s question.

    I don’t understand why such an innocent question can generate so much hostility, we’re all here to share and to learn.













  • Yeah it’s probably really bad. He can’t keep his government with only the Ensemble + LR alliance, so he must have given her something big enough to make her change her mind, otherwise he wouldn’t have bothered appointing someone that would have just been censored right away by the opposition. Very scary that we have no idea what the deal was.


  • The president can appoint who he wants, but if the parliament doesn’t approve his choice, they will censor the government.

    What that means is that he negotiated with the far-right to get them into his majority and not to vote the censorships, in exchange for who knows what. The liberals are scratched and the masks have completely fallen, there are dark times ahead.





  • blame Russia for engadging in activities that warrants sanctioning

    But why though? Russia had just observed 20 years of invasion of Afghanistan by the USA, with absolutely no divestment and no sanction as a result. So the logical conclusion should be that invasion doesn’t warrant sanctioning. Why would Russia be a special case? If everyone can invade everyone, it would make sense that Russia understands that it also applies to them.
