Marxism-Leninism is not a real thing, we are just red fascists :(
I have been skeptical of Keffals since I heard that she once was an ML and had backtracked, but she's gone all in now it seems. No specific hate, it's just frustrating and tiresome. I watched the "No Socialism Hasn't Failed" that she references as being loony and it's fine

ACID COMMUNISM | 1Dime
YouTube Video
Click to view this content.
> What is Acid Communism? In this video, we discuss the relationship between the 1960's Counterculture, hippies, psychedelia, and past & present socialist movements. We will analyze the problems and lost potentials of these movements through the lens of the late Mark Fisher's concepts of "Acid Communism" , Capitalist Realism, Lost Futures, Hauntology, and Post-Work. We will interpret the potential uses of psychedelic culture and its implications on consciousness. We also critique problems with rational and strictly material appeals in the contemporary left and discuss how the left should regard spirituality and higher desires for things like meaning, freedom, and free time.

‘BLOOD: A Strong Occupation for Israel’
Context
>Tomorrow, [the neocolony] will hold its fifth general election in three and a half years. Our political system is in gridlock, and voters are being called on again and again to solve it. Unfortunately, the biggest issue that affects our lives here in […] the occupied territories - our military rule over more than 5 million Palestinians - has not been a major (or even minor) issue in any one of these five election cycles. > >With that in mind, we decided that our political system needs a wake-up call. So we got to work putting together an election campaign, whose purpose is to highlight the most important subject no one's talking about: the occupation. > >We put up giant billboards on the Ayalon - Tel Aviv's busiest highway - for a satirical party called "BLOOD: A Strong Occupation for Israel". And we put out a campaign ad, which quickly went viral on [Hebrew] social media feeds - racking up hundreds of thousands of views within days - and got people from across the political spectrum talking about the issue that our politicians refuse to address. That's why they need reminding that not talking about the occupation won't make it go away. > >This ad may have been satire, but at the same time, it's an all-too-accurate reflection of what the major parties running in this election have on offer - and have offered for more than five decades now. While the politicians pretend that everything's fine - all of us, Palestinians and [occupiers], are made to pay the price for the endless hatred, violence and bloodshed. > >We deserve a better future. [The occupation’s] voters need to know that the choice is in our hands.

In Defense of ‘Tankies’: A Response to Vaush
I wish that more leftists were like this author. We don’t have to overwhelmingly agree with each other. What we should be doing is making serious, continuous efforts to understand each other; efforts that don’t with us hastily dismissing the other as ‘crazy’, or ‘stupid’, or whatever oversimplification feels most useful at the moment; efforts that involve empathy. I’m not even talking about ‘left unity’ — that’s unlikely to survive in the long term — but conscious, informed neutrality; an absence of hostility that we arrive at through our patience and reasoning. That is the approach that I want to see more of us practise.

Any communist or general leftist Peertube instances?
YouTube is honestly probably the worst place to host communist or even just general leftist videos, but it seems that all the English language communist video content is on there. To this end, are there any explicitly communist or general leftist Peertube instances?

I´m shocked by the reaction of the SocDems in Vaush´ Chat on the Take of Hakim and Vaush about SocDem Govs still being Imperialst. Yes, I´m a SocDem, and Yes, my Party is supporting Imperialism
The Hakim debate has left me somewhat speechless. Not because of anything that was discussed between the two, but the absolutely incomprehensible reaction of the SocDems in this community to the imperialism take of the two.
I myself am a member and official of the Social Democratic Party in Germany. The only way I would describe myself as a SocDem is as an oldschool Bavarian SocDem or just a member of the party. I mention this to make clear that I do have some insight into a SocDem party, and that I am very aware of the "based" history of this party. But the German Social Democrats are not the ones from 1950.
The Swedish Social Democrats are not the ones from 1980.
Social Democrats have become, at least since the neoliberal wave in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc, centrist, capitalist parties that are no longer interested in systemic change, as most of them themselves admit and are proud of.
The most vivid example of this is the history of the term "social market economy" in Germany. Once invented in the 1950s by the Christian Democrats to better sell their capitalism with a social net, it was accepted neither by the Social Democrats nor by the trade unions. Both continued to call for democratic socialism for decades. Only in the 90s, the SPD after the German reunification, the DGB then in 1995, both adopted the concept of the social market economy for themselves. Now their leaders deny any anti-capitalist ambition when the chairman of the SPD youth organization calls in a major weekly for companies to be turned into cooperatives.
Now their ministers must be forced by their own party base to advocate a law that would limit European, or at least German, economic imperialism.
As long as social democracy does not reject capitalism, it continues to be exploitative of the global South. Are they happy about it? No. But they are very good at ignoring the unpleasant consequences of our way of life.
Am I saying that all hope is lost for these parties? No, otherwise I would be pretty stupid to be a member and functionary in one.
There are still anti-capitalist wings in these parties that are currently disempowered, but things are starting to change since the Brexit shock went through Europe. The Swiss Social Democrats have explicitly committed to market socialism in their latest program, the German Social Democrats have a leadership duo in a grassroots election that at least commits to an undefined democratic socialism. We can turn these parties back into forces for real progress in the world. But to do so, we must accept our mistakes of the last 30 years. We also have to actually do something. Please please please, don't just stay online. I can't talk about the enormously strange way parties work in the USA, but dear European comrades:
Many party chapters are only barebone remains that can easily be highjacked among motivated young people, especially in rural areas. Actually try to change things.
Friendship and Solidarity to all of you.
