I was going to give you a tip, but then I saw that you might be a Marxist-Leninist, so now I have less motivation for that
Socialists need to learn to stop being dogmatic. If a Marxist-Leninist revolution is our most viable solution, democratic socialists et al should back it. If democratic socialism is more likely to succeed, Marxist-Leninists should back it.
โThe revolution that feeds the children gets my supportโ
(From a longer lecture)
I want to note that I am not of, relating to, supporting, or advocating socialism. I didn't realize that "not a Marxist-Leninist" can mean "a socialist but not a Marxist-Leninist" as well as "not a socialist", and it's possible that people might have assumed that I was some kind of socialist, but I'm not. I do have political opinions, but they probably wouldn't be described as "socialist".
