I’m talking about deeply held beliefs you have that many might disagree with here or deem to be incompatible with Marxist ideology. I’m interested because I doubt everyone here is an ideological robot who all share the same uniformity in belief

    i think that’s great, and i dont mean it as an insult, as you pointed out Paul Robeson avoided joining the communist party or ever calling himself a communist for really strategic and pro communist reasons.

    i think communist should be a label for people in communist parties. mostly a semantical thing

      No but i completely agree with your point, like all I’m pointing out is our movements have also been amplified by people outside of the Frontline that Consider themselves socialists.

      We need more artist, scientists, lawyers, public figures, athletes, etc on board because that always provides a good gateway for their followers to explore their political beliefs

        Personally, I think we should want anyone and everyone who supports a transition to socialism. Even in the extreme bILLIonAres so long as they understand their role to play shouldn’t be in any form of leadership. Ideological purity should be melted away in the light of materialist reality. Western communists have been tricked into publicly outing themselves and fighting with one hand and two feet bound together by “praxis.”
