For the theory and practice of Marxism Powered by @r_channels and @reddit2telegram
On the recent rule changes (1, 4, 5, 9, and 10)
Recently (and by that I mean nearly two months ago), we made some changes to the sidebar that you've probably noticed by now.
Firstly, we've made it explicit that communism is Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. This has already been the sub's position, but we decided to make it clearer that we don't allow revisionism and that there are not different brands of Marxism that people can pick and choose between.
Secondly, we've banned self-promotion, defined as linking or advertising your own paid products or services. This includes "charity," "donations," and other ways of trying to conceal the existence of commodity-exchange that happens on Patreon, Substack, etc. Those who can't make the cut as academics or content-creators often try to hawk their wares with "Marxist" branding slapped on top in hopes of finding customers in a market with fewer competitors. Since we wish to make knowledge of MLM freely accessible to people and wish to have quality discussion, prohibiting self-promotion is an easy way to advance both those goals. If you insist that your work is actually worth the money, it'll surely be recommended by someone else sooner or later (and for the record, we enforce quality standards regardless).
Finally, we've banned DM requests or offers. On a sub that's known for its strict moderation, it's especially important to prevent people from trying to evade bans by isolating and harassing users in their private messages. This has also already been a de facto rule, but we wanted to advise new users not to respond to DMs and to report people who try to send them.

* Articles and quotes you want to see discussed
* 'Slow' events - long-term trends, org updates, things that didn't happen recently
* 'Fluff' posts that we usually discourage elsewhere - e.g "How are you feeling today?"
* Discussions continued from other posts once the original post gets buried

Parti Şehitleri ve Devrimci İrade
I. Tarihsel Miras ve Ölümsüzleşenler
TKP-ML’nin elli yılı aşan mücadelesinde toprağa düşen her bir nefer, sadece birer isim değil; Devrim Emekçileri için Özgürlük yürüyüşümüzün sönmeyen meşaleleridir. Vartinik’ten Dersim dağlarına, zindan direnişlerinden metropol barikatlarına kadar dökülen her damla kan, bugün DEK-C’nin üzerinde yükseldiği ideolojik temelin harcıdır.
II. Şehitlerin Siyasi Vasiyeti
Bizim için "Parti Şehitleri", nostaljik bir anmanın ötesinde, güncel bir savaş çağrısıdır. Onların vasiyeti:
Tavizsiz İdeolojik Hat: Revizyonizme, tasfiyeciliğe ve sistem içi reformizme karşı Marksizm-Leninizm-Maoizm (MLM) siperini terk etmemek.
Emekçinin Özgürlüğü: Kurtuluşun ancak ve ancak devrim emekçilerinin kendi kollarının gücüyle, örgütlü bir öncüyle mümkün olduğu gerçeğini haykırmak.
Feda Ruhu: Kaypakkaya’nın "ser verip sır vermeyen" geleneğini, bugünün siyasi ikliminde tavizsiz bir militanlıkla sürdürmek.
III. DEK-C’nin Güncel Görevi
DEÖG saflarında olgunlaşan bilinçle ilan ediyoruz ki; şehitlerimizin bıraktığı boşluk, safları sıklaştırarak ve mücadeleyi her alana yayarak doldurulacaktır. 2026 Türkiyesi'nde baskı ne kadar artarsa artsın, DEK-C bu tarihsel kökten aldığı güçle;
Halk Savaşı stratejisinin tarihsel haklılığını güncel araçlarla savunmaya,
İşçi sınıfı ve köylülüğün birleşik devrimci cephesini örmeye,
Faşizmin kalelerine karşı devrimci şiddetin meşruiyetini taşımaya devam edecektir.
IV. Çağrı
Tüm devrim emekçilerini, partinin kızıl bayrağını yere düşürmeyenlerin izinde yürümeye çağırıyoruz. Onlar ölmedi; kavgamızda, sloganlarımızda ve zafere olan sarsılmaz inancımızda yaşıyorlar!
Şehitler Yaşıyor, Kavga Sürüyor!
Yaşasın MLM’nin Işıklı Yolu!
Devrim Emekçilerine Özgürlük, DEK-C ile Zafere!

Anxiety and taking political action
Hello everyone, I need some advice and maybe a little hope.
I have social anxiety, and this has kind of always hindered me from participating or taking action in the ways that I would have liked. I was politically involved in the youth of the communist party of my country for several years, but I wasn't a good member because it was really hard for me to attend meetings if the person I was closest to wasn't going, or if I had to do some work for the party that involved social interaction, I was always a mess and did a poor job. Or when people asked me about my opinion on something in a meeting, I'd freeze. In the end, I left the party because I felt awful due to not being able to be a good member. I felt like a burden. However, since I left it five years ago, I've been feeling horrible as well, because what kind of communist am I if I'm not taking action? What am I without praxis? At the same time, I can't find the courage to take part in community spaces that lead the values that I defend. I guess what I'm trying to say is are there any communists out there who have been in my position? Or maybe if any of you could give me some advice to not feel useless in this part of my life that holds such importance.
I'm not going to lie, what I'd really like is to be able to participate in political life actively and defend the cause, and go to demonstrations and fight, but I can't. So I'm stuck in my house reading, just being angry at the world and at myself. Besides, the current situation of world politics, alongside the rise of fascism and imperialism, makes me feel like I should be doing something, and what I should be doing I find myself incapable of doing so.
Thank you so much for listening to me, any piece of advice is welcome!

Hindistanlı Yoldaşlarımıza;
Güney Asya’nın bozkırlarında tutuşan "Kızıl Koridor" ateşi, elli yıla yakındır dünya halklarına umut, emperyalizme ve gerici Brahmanist Hindistan devletine korku salmaktadır. Ancak son günlerde gelen haberler, Hindistan Komünist Partisi (Maoist) bünyesinde en üst düzey sorumluluklar üstlenmiş bazı isimlerin (Tippiri Tirupati ve yandaşları), halkın kanıyla sulanan mevzileri terk ederek faşizmin kollarına sığındığını göstermektedir.
1. Teslimiyet İhanettir, Tasfiyecilik Suçtur!
Halkın kurtuluş davasına ömürlerini adadığını iddia edenlerin, mücadelenin en zorlu anlarında "silah bırakma" ve "teslimiyet" masallarıyla düşmanla el sıkışması, Marksizm-Leninizm-Maoizm (MLM) bilimine ve devrim şehitlerinin aziz hatırasına açık bir ihanettir. Kişisel yorgunluklarını ve ideolojik kırılmalarını "barış" kılıfıyla pazarlayanlar, tarihin çöp sepetinde yerlerini alacaklardır. DEK-C olarak bu tasfiyeci tutumu en sert biçimde KINIYORUZ.
2. CPI (Maoist) Yalnız Değildir!
Birkaç ismin saf değiştirmesi, milyonlarca topraksız köylünün, ezilen kabile halklarının (Adivasiler) ve Dalitlerin öfkesini dindiremeyecektir. Devrimci hareketler liderleriyle değil, kitlelerle kaimdir. Hindistan Komünist Partisi (Maoist) önderliğinde yürütülen Halk Savaşı, sadece Hindistan’ın değil, Türkiye’den Filipinler’e kadar tüm coğrafyaların ortak kavgasıdır.
3. DEK-C’den Enternasyonalist Selam!
DEÖG geleneğinden gelen devrim emekçileri ve DEK-C militanları olarak ilan ediyoruz:
Hindistan devletinin 2026 hedefli imha operasyonlarına karşı, Hindistanlı yoldaşlarımızın SİYASİ VE MORAL SİPERİYİZ.
Dönenlere, yılanlara ve teslimiyet bayrağı çekenlere inat; "HALK SAVAŞI ZAFERE KADAR SÜRECEK" sloganını sınırların ötesinden haykırıyoruz.
Tasfiyeciliğe karşı ideolojik uyanışı, revizyonizme karşı MLM’nin kızıl hattını savunmaya devam edeceğiz.
4. Sonuç:
Düşman sevinmesin, hainler övünmesin! Devrim nehirleri bazen yatağını değiştirse de mutlaka denize ulaşacaktır. Hindistan’da dökülen her damla ter, DEK-C’nin Türkiye topraklarındaki mücadelesine güç katmaktadır.
Kahrolsun Faşizm ve Teslimiyetçilik!
Yaşasın Hindistan Halk Savaşı ve CPI (Maoist)!
Yaşasın Enternasyonal Dayanışma!

question about this subreddits formatting
Hello, as an advocate of MLM communism, respectfully, why does the description of this subreddit say “For the theory and practice of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism” when the name of this subreddit is “communism” and not “Marxist-Leninist-Maoism”? Yet Marx was never alive in the time of Lenin’s political prominence, nor Mao's, and yet he created the world’s first communist party and created the ideology and the framework of those leftist ideas and thoughts. However, when you say that this is “for the theory and practice of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism,” and yet you use the name “communism” for the subreddit, which implies that the MLM strand of communism is the only “true” brand of communism. And so I was wondering if that was a direct statement on what your specific community of MLM members believes is true about leftists who call themselves communists.
thank you for your responses.

The Iranian Uprising and Semi-Colonial Semi-Feudal Iran
The question of whether Iran should be characterized as semi-feudal and semi-colonial is not a scholastic dispute, but a strategic one. Determining the nature of the Iranian social formation is decisive for defining the correct revolutionary line. Recent debates among Iranian Maoists reveal a persistent theoretical confusion on this point, often stemming from a mechanical or overly descriptive reading of social relations rather than an analysis of their structural articulation within the global capitalist system.
In any social formation, multiple modes of production coexist, but one mode is dominant and subordinates the others to its own reproduction. In semi-feudal and semi-colonial formations, pre-capitalist relations are not simply remnants of the past; they are actively reproduced and restructured to serve imperialist accumulation and the international division of labor. Semi-colonialism does not negate capitalist development it shapes it in a dependent and disarticulated form.
Semi-Feudal Relations and the Reserve Army of Labor
One of the clearest indicators of semi-feudal persistence in Iran is the agrarian structure. A vast majority of landowners around 76 percent possess less than five hectares. These smallholders are not independent peasants in any meaningful sense. They function as semi-proletarians, producing primarily for the market rather than subsistence, while remaining trapped in unequal pricing systems dominated by merchants, intermediaries, and agro-industrial capital. Rising prices only benefit them sporadically and partially; overall, the terms of exchange are structurally rigged against them.
This condition continuously expels labor from the countryside without fully absorbing it into productive industrial employment. The result is a massive reserve army of labor, which plays a crucial role in suppressing wages. Displaced rural labor does not flow into a strong industrial sector, but instead accumulates in a bloated service sector. It should be noted that this sector makes up 55.4 percent of Iran's GDP and employes half of Iran's labour force . Iran’s economy lacks the characteristics of a national economy in the strict sense. Following Samir Amin (I know he is problematic because his unequal exchange thesis can lead to weird places), underdeveloped economies are not integrated economic spaces but collections of relatively autonomous “atoms,” each tied more closely to the centers of global capitalism than to one another. Iran fits this pattern and I have discussed this in an previous post which I made. The hypertrophy of the service sector further reflects this disarticulation. Instead of paralleling industrial development, services expand as a sink for surplus labor, particularly in administration, commerce, and low-productivity activities.
The Uprising and the Question of Political Line
Against this structural background, the recent uprising in Iran must be understood concretely. It was initially sparked by bazaar merchants reacting to inflation that eroded their incomes, but it later drew in broader social layers. This trajectory makes it impossible to label the movement as either purely reactionary or inherently progressive. Like all mass movements, it demands a concrete communist analysis of its class composition, leadership, and contradictions.
Two dominant deviations have emerged.
The campist position defends reactionary regimes such as the Islamic Republic under the banner of anti-imperialism, denying the existence of internal contradictions and attributing all opposition to imperialist manipulation. This view grants primacy to the external contradiction and rests on a neo-Kautskyite conception of imperialism, portraying “the West” as a unified bloc while casting powers like China and Russia as inherently anti-hegemonic.
The tailist position adopts the opposite error, uncritically endorsing any opposition to the regime regardless of its class character or political content. It collapses all contradictions into sheer quantity,

Separation of Reproduction and Sexuality under Socialism
I'm probably about to articulate this very poorly but I've been reading the discussions on this subreddit over the abolition of the family and collective childcare, namely u/humblegold's contributions to explaining family abolition from this post and u/Clean-Difference1771's contributions on this thread but one thing that confuses me (and might be too much speculation) is how socialist society evolves from the family as the unit of reproduction to something else in the future. We understand that collective childcare will be the next step in raising children outside patriarchal norms but what about the relationships between individuals that facilitate childbirth? What about childbirth in general? The contradiction between those who can give birth and those who can't? I'm mainly thinking of how Mao talks about how there are still contradictions within socialist society and the contradiction between sex as a means of reproduction on a biological level and sexuality as experienced through the mental life of the individual and their relationship to desire. How would this be resolved in the future or is it impossible to say at this point in time? Are there any authors that talk about this even at an abstract level?

With the US rolling back various protections (EPA, FDA, etc.), is it better for comrades to continue organizing internally or leave and join comrades in the imperial periphery?
Of course, it's impossible to escape capitalism and America's influence but I'm asking because the state is essentially making simply existing in the country a health hazard.
Examples:
Recent increased production mandate for glyphosate, which is linked to cancer
General EPA deregulation + allowing coal plants to release more heavy metals as a byproduct, e.g. mercury, which is linked to brain damage
FDA loosening labeling requirements and food safety rules
General antivaxery
On top of that we have the UN Declaring Water Bankruptcy while Data Centers, which love gobbling up the local water, are popping up left and right. I'm not saying it's completely hopeless and that everyone should flee ASAP but where do you draw the line?
Is it best to stay regardless of health outcomes or do you call it at a certain point? How should this question be applied to the disabled, children, etc.?
Also, just to be clear, I'm not saying moving to the periphery is easy or that everything will be hunky-dory once you do.

Language pride
I'm a leftist(still learning), and I’ve been thinking about something that came up with another left leaning friend.
So, hes an Indian Tamil and alot of indian tamils identify as tamil primarily and Indian secondarily, so I asked him would you ever identify as tamil and he said something along the lines of "Language pride, race pride, caste pride are all extremely cheap forms of prides, largely used to impose supremacy and division".
So I said, you can't compare language pride to something like race or caste pride since they usually exist because of oppression while historically, languages have often functioned as tools of unity, mass communication, and resistance, especially in anti-colonial and anti-elite contexts.(Tamil being an example). So, it would be ignorant to not take pride over your languages history.
He then talked about how language pride is normally seen as a form of superiority(at least in India)and is just another way to impose superiority.
So I'm curious to know what guys here think about it.

King's newest article argues that growth in non-monopoly capital can "undermine" the dominance of monopoly capital without ever ascending to the level of becoming competing monopoly capitals.
I haven't studied imperialism enough to have a firm opinion on this, but this seems like a fundamental misunderstanding right? Like a repetition of Dengist 'multipolarity'?

refuses to criticize reactionary forces such as monarchists in the name of unity, and dissolves independent proletarian politics into spontaneous mass sentiment.
Despite their differences, both positions share a mechanical understanding of contradiction and a profound distrust of the masses. One denies the masses’ capacity to be able to navigate contradictions; the other reduces them to a force to be followed rather than politically led.
As Marx argued, the vanguard party is the most advanced detachment of the proletariat, tasked with concentrating proletarian power within every mass struggle. Any deviation from this leads either to passivity waiting for a “pure” economic struggle or to reliance on foreign intervention. Both reflect political bankruptcy and detachment from the masses.
Both sides have re-created the political version of Imam Mahdi, despite their shared hatred of Shi'ism.

government in preventing them from doing so”.
**Conclusion**
I do not think that it is worth it, here, to discuss the development of “canada” (the nation, or its economy) past this period of about 1891. Why? Because nothing has really changed. True, Canada has expanded its settlement and expanded to an imperialist country, but several theorists have pointed out that the canadian state perfected its tools internally, on the Indigenous nations, and subsequently used them to execute its imperial ambitions overseas. In other words, this is simply more shockwave of the initial settler colonial event, which I would locate in the clearing of the plains. Yes, this is a very similar argument that Sakai has made in *Settlers*. If capital’s universalizing drive took this particular path to birth Canada, this is a great summary of how the particular projects outward from the “Canada”. What, then, is the importance of Alberta to the Canadian nation? Why, it is the difference between being Canadian and American. Believe me, as silly as it seems, canadian nationalism simply boils down to not being American. Perhaps not a shocking answer, but we gained a richer understanding of the spectacle of it. Indeed, nation is just something invented and is just as easily discarded by history!
Much more important and interesting, I think, is what this study helped me understand about the political economy of the First Nations, and how it becomes tied to the movement of commodities and people. Indigenous migration was to secure resources to produce for immediate need pre-contact, increasingly to secure resources for trade purposes post-contact, and finally a struggle against state intervention (and forced because of it) by the mid to late 19th century. Settlers, on the other hand, being as much a part of the expansive outer commons as their livestock and crops, and not crossing over through different modes of production (but as the bringer of the transformation itself) simply move place for one reason: negotiation of class status. True, I don’t talk much about that here, but it’s been said before.
