What is bottom line marxism for you?
What is bottom line marxism for you?
Some leftist over here consider our party to not be fully marxist/leftist whatever.
Now, would I say our party (PVDA/PTB) is perfect? No. Would I say it is the furthest an actual marxist party would go in my country? Yes. Is it therefore the best party I could join and become active in? Probably.
I participate in a lot of discussion within the party. I'm openly ML. I have my own views and the official party line doesn't always support it. Nonetheless it is the party I see the most potential in to make actual change.
It made me think. What would you consider the bottom line for joining a party?
Side note: going to sleep now, will read replies next morning.

4 must-haves for being bloody Marxist (for me at least):
- Anti-capitalism (Marxists being anticaps is like the morning sky being blue)
- Anti-imperialism (kinda cringe invading other nations and taking over established societies)
- Anti-discrimination (Workers of the world unite and all that shit. Kinda contradictory if you start excluding workers not being white or straight)
- Pro-workng class (If you aren't, what the shit are you doing as a Marxist)
