One example of the issues with Connolly's writings. This is the original version of Nationalism and Socialism with the bits taken out by William O'Brien. Every version of this article currently available - in print & online - follows the O'Brien's censorship, not the original.

In 1901, Lenin wrote that, “To belittle the socialist ideology in any way, to turn aside from it in the slightest degree, means to strengthen bourgeois ideology.” Similarly, in 2020, vapid public critiques of existing socialist states could only ever strengthen capitalism.

@MasonObmascik

The divisions already exist; they are world-historically real. Further, they are fundamental to capitalism. Marxism identifies and lays bare these divisions, and then articulates a theory of real political resolution for the victimized and the exploited.

Vitriolic and murderous anti-communism in the US comprises not only domestic doctrine and foreign policy, it is tantamount to a religious zealotry—a zealotry that will only increase as the US positions itself in an increasing posture of hostility to the world’s socialist states.

You don't need Marx to tell you to care about people. But you do need to care about people to understand what Marx said.

This is a HORRIFYING thread, fair warning. But, it's so important to recognize the staggering misery inflicted by these imperialist wars in their never ending search for profit.

Children in *homeless* shelters. CHILDREN. in . HOMELESS. SHELTERS. Shame on your for trying to normalize this. It is not the job of a CHILD to uplift these children by sending them art. It is our job as society to first HOUSE them.

"My dream is to meet every kid in the entire world and give them art." This girl has sent over 1,500 children in homeless shelters and foster care homes art kits to give them an uplifting activity for when they're feeling down during the pandemic.

Your reminder that Marxism is a philosophy that has been developed through human history and contributed to by many individuals, and is not a religion with Marx as the prophet. Also, this is false.

We respect Lenin not because he was perfect, but precisely because he never pretended to be - he was a man of humility who always learned from the people and spoke TO them rather than AT them.

Leftists: protests are a valid form of expressing public anger. They should be heard, acknowledged and acted upon! Right wingers: shoot everyone demanding dignity! Centrists: hey hey hey, let's compromise. Shoot them in the leg 😉

For all who knew him, and for those who did not, we lost a real one today. Mimi Soltysik was one of the nicest, most stalwart, and profoundly solidary comrades I’ve met. The world is a much sadder and darker place without him in it; yet it is also a better place because of him.

NATO is a defense treaty in which the capitalist and imperialist signatories of the treaty promise to defend each other’s “common heritage and civilisation of their peoples, founded on the principles of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law.” Whose common heritage?

The US employs 800k police officers, 800k military reservists, and 1.3 million active duty military personnel. The police force of the empire is a de facto domestic military.
