The Spectre of Communism is haunting the internet

https://www.mlreadinghub.org/study-materials/reading-list

I wanna self-study a bunch, with the goal of having an idea of how to organize better.

Is this a good reading list?

why porkies get into philantropy? it seems that the answer is not "because they're philantropists!"

After the conclusion of the 7th Congress, the Danish Communist Party will continue its pressure on politicians and stockholders to end their support for the state [occupying Palestine]. We will increase our struggle for a ceasefire now, for a release of detainees and hostages now and for humanitarian aid to reach the needy now. We realize these will only be the firsts steps on a long road, a road that in the end will lead to a free Palestine, free from apartheid.

The DKP is not alone in the struggle for a free Palestine. The Palestinian people are not alone. The party is part of the movement which has taken the streets of Danish towns and cities. Danish arms factories have been blockaded. The boycott of [Zionism], from a stop for [Zionist] groceries to rejecting the masking of genocide with songs, is stronger than ever before.

We see a unity in that struggle which gives us hope. The Danish Communist Party will build upon that unity and from our Congress will reach out to all around us with the demand: for a “free Palestine, from the River to the Sea.”

Yay.

the middle class and petit bourgueoisie in a nutshell...by "quino"

There are some instances where class becomes extremely complicated.

In my view, to a large extent Israel at present is an exception. [That neocolony] is an extreme version of a relatively small and completely artificial settler-colonial state being imposed on the region by [neo]imperialism and displacing and subjugating the Indigenous population.

There’s a working class in [it]. But that class is not only divided, it is hostage to the reality of [neo]colonial occupation. In [that neocolony], the struggle to free Palestine is the key to the class struggle.

Most of the population in [that neocolony] that is not native to Palestine was not forced to migrate there out of economic need but many migrated there to be part of the Zionist project. This suspends its development as a class. The most vital, politically healthy part of the working class there are Palestinian Arab workers who are 20% to 25% of the population and also 25% of the working class.

They are the social and political link between the class struggle and the liberation struggle until something changes in the remaining part of the working class. If we were there, part of our work would be to push workers to save themselves, break with Zionism and help unite the world’s working class. How much time and effort communist and advanced workers should devote to this task would depend on the needs of the Palestinian resistance.

I want to learn more on how the internet came into being. Why is it structured this way? Since the internet kind of stomps on anyone who has anything useful to say with trolling and memes to make that persons arguments null. How does this tyrannical system lives and grows? I wonder, what is socialists and communists strategy to combat short term memory and short attention span that rising among the new generation? I think we need to address the lack of analysis between the internet and human psychology from a marxist perspective.

I was buying something at a small shop and for some reason the shop owner decided to talk about how much the government ruins business through taxes, how the government shouldn't be in business, and how there is too much socialism in government. Maybe I look like a libertarian lol.

I did my best to ask him what he meant to try and get him thinking and it seemed to help a bit. I even pulled a "any socialist I've talked to doesn't believe in any of that".

I seem to have a lot of these conversations, even when I'm minding my own business. Have any of you had luck with breaking down preconceived notions others may have? I'd just like to be better prepared since apparently this is just something that happens to me.

it seems that taking away an intellectual property from capitalists were the true way to innovation!

Sorry if this isn't a correct place to ask this question. I don't understand how non-profit organization exist in capitalism because how do they sustain themselves? How do they pay their workers if they aren't generating any profit? Isn't it just volunteering?

Took part in an RGS and the head people all push that Maoism is scientifically the best form of Communism. Can anyone explain this view? Also, the group seems to want everyone to hold this view. Isn't splitting into sub-ideologies hurting the potential for a larger movement?
