To me, this sounds like a problem in the relationship with your students. Maybe you can back off a little bit and instead of presenting content from your classes directly, you could spend a class or two forging a better relationship with your students, like asking what they like, what could make the classes interesting, anything that would make them have an active participation in the class. You could research and bring fun activities to do to make their learning more interesting. Try to establish a closer relationship with your students, a personal and affective connection
If you spend a class bringing them suggestions that you can do and they collectively decide what they would do in the next class, I'm almost certain they would be more active then. If not, maybe it's the location? You mentioned you are giving classes in the canteen, maybe they get distracted easily there, as it's not a classroom, etc.
I'd say this, from the thread the comrade linked here. Also, there is not a "Marxist-Leninist take" on everything, it's not the scope of Marxism-Leninism to "have an opinion" on everything, Marxism-Leninism is a theoretical framework which guides revolutionary praxis
My personal take on this is that death penalties should have a democratic process behind it, it's the safest path. No one is irredeemable, but some deaths are warranted, for symbolic, political, social reasons. Once the facts have been established and their crimes fully investigated, the death of a serial killer may bring comfort to several families affected, for instance. Or the leader of a genocidal fascist movement may be politically and/or symbolically warranted
It can come from various sources. The Party asks for contributions from all members, and a part of the collective funds can be directed towards supporting a few professional revolutionaries. There were other ways the Party could gather funds for that, even bank robbing like Stalin famously did. But a Party can sell stuff, organize raffles, etc., I see this as the main basis behind supporting professional revolutionaries.
Lenin had a few "gigs" to earn money. After he received his law diploma, he practiced law in Samara Regional Court for a while, but he also gave private lessons to people. He advertised this work in newspapers at the time.
In principle, a professional revolutionary doesn't need money at all. They only need a place to live and food. Party members could have spare rooms in their houses which any professional revolutionary could stay for a while, meanwhile their food is guaranteed by any peasant, cook, etc. from the party willing to share and prepare food. You could have professional revolutionaries solely dependent on class solidarity, money doesn't necessarily have to be a concern when your party is organized enough.
Not sure how hippies live in other countries, but the hippies here usually don't have a house, have nomadic lifestyles and usually sell their arts and crafts. The fact that they live vulnerable lives could place them as lumpenproletariat, though the fact that they produce things to sell and sell it themselves, could place them as a petty-bourgeois. The hippie ideas you describe, "free love", "non-violence" is perfectly in line with a petty-bourgeois mentality too.
Well, to be fair, the only difference between your "definitions" and my descriptions is the fact that you emphasize marriage in polygamy, while I argue this is not necessary. Marriage is an institution which is restricted in our society, only allowing two partners to be married at once. Hence why the emphasis on marriage may be insufficient to describe how these relationships "survive" in a monogamous marriage institution.
The polygamous relationships I've seen didn't have marriage in common, but coexistence, that is, all partners shared a relationship with each other, usually by living together or hanging out together. This is the major difference between other forms of non-monogamous relationships.
How long are you in this party? If in your experience you find that it's possible to alter some policies of the party, then it's definitely worth it struggling from the inside and fight for a more revolutionary line, even if it's not a "ML" party. I expect however, that sooner or later you'll find something in the party that cannot be changed because of limitations of the organization.
Comrade, 7 years is not easy to simply overcome like it was nothing... A person 7 years by your side affects your own identity even, so it's expected to be quite traumatic to experience a break up. You must be feeling like you lost a part of yourself, which in a sense, you did indeed. What you're feeling is completely understandable and justified, you're not wrong in feeling like this. I am currently in a 4 year long relationship and I would be as miserable as you if we broke up for some reason.
To engage in meaningless hookups and to go to social gatherings pretending you are okay is just postponing the inevitable, and may in fact be harmful to you psychologically. If you have close friends you can count to, I'd recommend seeing them occasionally, but outside of a party context. You're definitely not in the spirit to party about anything.
You need to live your grief to its fullest. You need to cry, you need to stay alone for a while and spend enough time being miserable, because that's how you feel. You need to express and feel your emotions instead of faking them to others, and you should definitely consider therapy. I know therapists can be annoying and seem useless, but just having someone to talk to is already something good for you, even if they can't really help you or you feel "ok".
You won't feel satisfied in any other relationship until you learn to love yourself. The pain you're feeling is because for 7 years you've loved yourself as an extension of your girlfriend, and now that she's gone, you need to learn to love yourself apart from her.
Isso se sustenta no episódio em que os camponeses da LCP peitaram mais de 3 mil militares do governo Bolsonaro.
Sei que tiveram alguns confrontos com a LCP em algumas ocasiões, mas 3 mil militares? Tem alguma fonte pra aprofundar nessa informação? Quanto ao PCB-FV, eu vejo a mesma situação do maoismo brasileiro, notoriamente composto pela pequena-burguesia, mas que se apoia moralmente na LCP. Muitas organizações maoistas tem pouco ou nenhum vínculo com a LCP, exceto ideologicamente. Já vi muito maoista pequeno-burguês, urbano, usando as atividades da LCP para dar um ar revolucionário a si, mas com pouca militância exceto no Twitter. Hoje em dia tá até bem menos comparado com uns 2 anos atrás.
Fora essa caricatura que infelizmente serve a todas organizações maoistas brasileiras atualmente, não conheço mais sobre o PCB-FV. Não sei sobre a apropriação da teoria militar por essa organização, mas que utilidade tem esse conhecimento se a organização tem no máximo uma centena de militantes em todos o país?
Bem pelo que entendi, então, só esses partidos maoistas ultra-sectários, menores que o próprio PCB que já é minúsculo, é que são a verdadeira reconstrução comunista?
Olha, eu não desmereço as iniciativas desses grupos. O trabalho editorial e de publicação de livros da Nova Cultura é uma iniciativa interessante, que começou com preços bem baratos (eventualmente ficando mais caros com o tempo). O trabalho editorial é simples, nada muito robusto, mas bem organizado, nunca tive problemas com entregas ou coisas do tipo e já pedi vários livros. Os esforços da URC nesse quesito são memoráveis, mostrando como até com poucos militantes é possível fazer um trabalho editorial relativamente bom.
Mas fora essa iniciativa, a URC é completamente irrelevante no cenário político atual. Menos relevante ainda que PCB e UP. O dogmatismo maoista jamais chegará nas massas brasileiras, essa exaltação e culto a Gonzalo e Mao não dialoga com os problemas imediatos do nosso povo. Mas agora sabemos porque o PCB não chega nas massas, por conta de uma direção que distorce o centralismo democrático, sabota iniciativas e impede a verdadeira capilarização do partido na classe.
Tanto Mao Zedong quanto Lênin encararam tendências oportunistas dentro de suas organizações. Isso é um processo natural, manifestação luta de classes no seio do partido. O Partido Operário Social-Democrata Russo, partido que Lênin disputou no século 20, rachou-se em facções internas em 1903 depois que a direção do partido ativamente sabotou as decisões do Congresso. O PCB passa por uma situação semelhante agora. O Partido mudou bastante ao longo de sua história, passando por diversos processos de disputas contra linhas oportunistas, tendo um misto de vitórias e derrotas. O que estamos vendo agora é mais um novo processo de luta contra o oportunismo, cujo resultado só poderemos analisar no futuro.
Todo partido comunista passa por processos de disputa, o PCB cresceu bastante de 2019 a 2022, e o Comitê Central começou a caducar diante dos novos quadros formados pela UJC. A UJC em si passou a ser muito mais organizada que o próprio Partido com o tempo, mostrando como o PCB sofria por métodos artesanais. A linha do Partido sempre cai à direita conforme há uma cristalização de quadros, que é o caso do PCB.
Who would've thought in 1945 that a Nazi government would support a Jewish supremacist government somewhere in history
(cool fact: the Nazis had a friendly relationship with Zionists, look for "Haavara Agreement")

In Brazil I recognized one by listening to a rap song by Racionais MC's about Marighella and he complimented me lol

I understand CIA deeply studied LSD and its potential use in interrogations, but that CIA supplied LSD to hippies is new to me
Not sure how hippies live in other countries, but the hippies here usually don't have a house, have nomadic lifestyles and usually sell their arts and crafts. The fact that they live vulnerable lives could place them as lumpenproletariat, though the fact that they produce things to sell and sell it themselves, could place them as a petty-bourgeois.

Feel free to correct me. Take care!
Commenting so I can make myself a mod to this community (other "mod" has been away for 3 years)

Open source games are so refreshing. They focus on gameplay much more than anything else

Democratic centralism does not exist outside the context of an organization lol. And we're definitely not an organization.
