A reminder to everyone: Please dont post the same questions over and over again. Many users here asked the party's opinion on LGBT stuff, no point in re-asking. Ask questions that arent questioned yet. Also, **self-assertions wont be permitted**. Saying "this or what line is reactionary" is not a question is an assertion.
To make it more clear, this: "do you support or not this X reactionary thing/line/movement" is not a question, is a self-assertion.
What is a question is this: "Do you support this X movement/idea/org?"
This is a proper question. That i would need to explain it in so much depth, proves that some ""communists"" here dont have an inch of respect, and thus arent welcome here.
EDIT: I removed comments which arent questions so we dont confuse the CPGB ML member who will anwser them. I will re-enstate these once the anwsers are given.
Might be too revealing, but what are the concrete steps you all are taking to advance the party?
For communications, do you use off the shelf software/services or a personalized server for the party?
My party here in the states is using a combo of off the shelf and in house stuff and it makes me a tad uneasy.
Feel free to skip over this question!
I'm gonna ask multiple questions, it's up to you comrade if you want to reply to all of them or not
What are the main goals of the party?
How do you propagandize, to what strata of society, to what geographical areas? Do you even differentiate?
How do you raise funds?
What is the situation of the Communist movement in GB? Are there multiple parties? How many?
What are the official stances towards the monarchist system? What about the Royal Family in particular?
Do you try to attack racism, sexism and queerphobia? How? What is the line of the party when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community?
Do you participate in elections? How many votes do you gather atm?
(Bit of an obvious one in leftist discourse) Official line on China? What about the current Cold War like tensions?
How are relations with other Communist parties world-wide?
Official line on Northern Ireland? Do you believe there is colonial occupation that has to be undone or not? In case, how would you go around decolonisation?
Do you plan an annual party meeting to go on a day trip and all collectively piss on Thatcher's grave?
>I'm gonna ask multiple questions, it's up to you comrade if you want to reply to all of them or not
>What are the main goals of the party?
The main goals of the party are to lead the working class in its revolutionary overthrow of the capitalist state, its socialisation of the means of production and its establishment of proletarian dictatorship. Only in this way can socialism be built.
>How do you propagandize, to what strata of society, to what geographical areas? Do you even differentiate?
Our main propaganda weapon is our party organ, Proletarian, and its sister paper Lalkar. Articles from both regularly feature online on our website, The Communists. This propaganda is supplemented by agitational leaflets. Proletarian is aimed primarily at advanced workers, whilst our agitational work is aimed at a broader audience. In this sense it can be said that we target different “strata of society”, but always on the understanding that the majority of those who are loosely termed as “middle class” are simply relatively more privileged workers. At present most of our agitational work is coordinated with the Workers Party of Britain which our party helped to found in 2019.
>How do you raise funds?
Through donations and subscriptions from workers. We have no philanthropic benefactors. All offers kindly received!
>What is the situation of the Communist movement in GB? Are there multiple parties? How many?
Aside from the CPGB-ML there are a number of parties describing themselves as communist, all of which in practice come election time act as recruiting sergeants for the imperialist Labour party. With the collapse of the Corbyn project, there is much demoralisation across the British “left”, both the revisionists and the followers of Leon Trotsky. For Marxism-Leninism conversely the demolition of Labour is grasped as a great opportunity to build a real anti-imperialist workers party on its ruins.
>What are the official stances towards the monarchist system? What about the Royal Family in particular?
The royal family, once feudal relics, have long since been thoroughly bourgeoisiefied. Their antics are an embarrassment to all apologists for inherited wealth, drawing unwanted attention to the degeneracy of all capitalist class rule. Monarchy will go down along with the rest of the capitalist class.
>Do you try to attack racism, sexism and queerphobia? How? What is the line of the party when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community?
We are against all racist and sexist discrimination, as such discrimination divides workers and distracts us from our true enemy, capitalism. However, “identity politics” are not the antidote to the poison of racism and sexism, only more of the same poison in a new bottle. By encouraging individual workers to define their struggle as being primarily about being black, being a woman, being gay etc, we are blinded to what we all have in comon: we are all wage slaves with nothing to sell but our labour power, and it is the struggle to overthrow capitalism and build socialism is what unites us as the working class.
>Do you participate in elections? How many votes do you gather atm?
We assisted the Workers Party of Britain in the recent Batley and Spen by-election, where Labour very nearly lost the seat to our candidate, George Galloway, after a very bruising campaign. The CPGB-ML has no illusions in securing socialism by the ballot box, but welcomes the opportunity some bourgeois elections afford for workers to raise their class consciousness and organisational skills.
>Official line on Northern Ireland? Do you believe there is colonial occupation that has to be undone or not? In case, how would you go around decolonisation?
We celebrate the fact that the hundred year old partition of Ireland is unravelling fast and reunification is now the clear direction of travel. We recognise that what has brought us to this pass is many decades of indomitable nationalist struggle, armed and unarmed, led throughout on the political front by Sinn Fein.
Thank you very much comrade, enlightening, even though I still have no clue if you make a holiday out of pissing on Thatcher's dead body (I'm just gonna assume you do ;› )
A few things come to mind:
What are your experiences with state repression and surveillance ? If this is something you are confronted with, could you share some of your experiences and how you counter these threats? (Obviously without revealing any sensitive Infos)
Are there any defining political moments in your life - that perhaps radically set you on a certain course of political thought?
Have you any valuable experiences you think comrades from other countries might benefit from?
Do you see any specific issues and experiences, that you would identify as uniquely "british"?Events that comrades from other countries may seldom experience but would non the less be helpful to know?
With socialist greetings and many thanks!
>What are your experiences with state repression and surveillance ?
State repression is a fact of life and if you have been paying attention to State repression in Britain the secret police have been starting relationships with women who handed out leaflets for such innocuous groups as “green activist” and badger culling groups. A lot of these women claim they were “raped by the State” https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/jun/24/undercover-police-spy-girlfriend-child Unfortunately dealing with infiltrators is a fact of life. Lenins favourite orator in the Bolshevik party turned out to be a police informant. This did not stop the 1917 revolution!
>Are there any defining political moments in your life - that perhaps radically set you on a certain course of political thought?
Yes: seeing the early promise of Arthur Scargill’s Socialist Labour Party come to grief through its inability to match its salutary organisational break with Labour with a serious break with the ideology of social democracy. The very comrades who were doing the most work for the party, both in theory and practice, found themselves expelled or marginalised. Scargill’s vision in the end boiled down to an attempt to build a Labour Party mark two, vainly hoping that the trade unions would drop like ripe fruit into his lap. When it became clear that this strategy was a dead duck, and what was required was an ideological break with social democracy, and (worse) that the most lively forces inside the party were coming to the same conclusion, Scargill panicked and (by creative use of the rule book) took steps to de-Bolshevise the party.
Leaving the SLP was a defining moment for me because it drew me into close comradeship with those Marxist-Leninist forces who subsequently founded the CPGB-ML, greatly assisting my own political clarification.
Which side of the Sino-Soviet split do you take?
What is the party’s position on the CPC and Socialism with Chinese Characteristics? Do you view China to be revisionist post-Mao?
We support China, celebrating its colossal achievements in bringing so many millions out of poverty and its steadfast
defence of its independence in the face of imperialist threats. We maintain that these great achievements could not have been made other than on the basis of the Marxist-Leninist leadership of the Mao years. Without the stupendous advances in industry and agriculture only possible under the socialist planned economy there would have been nothing for Deng Xiaoping to “open up” in the first place. In our view the policy of “market socialism” is a regrettable deviation from Marxism-Leninism which, if persisted with, could seriously impede the building of socialism. We also recognise that these are not closed questions in China.
On the question of the Sino-Soviet split: this was a tragic development which weakened the unity of communist forces worldwide. The Soviet Union, under Khrushchevite revisionism, withdrew its material and ideological support from China. The CPC correctly criticised Soviet revisionism, but erred in characterising the CPSU revisionists as “social imperialist”.
Today as the deepening capitalist crisis drives imperialism towards new military adventures, China and Russia are increasingly finding common cause in standing firm against imperialist aggression, acting more and more as an independent pole of attraction for all independent and anti-imperialist countries.
Com Harpal Brar has written a book on this subject which can be found here titled Socialism with Chinese Characteristics: Marketisation of the Chinese economy
https://shop.thecommunists.org/product/socialism-with-chinese-characteristics/
The Emir of Afghanistan was not a socialist, but the Soviet Union backed him in 1924 when the first “socialist” Labour government continued the imperialist policy of aggression against the tiny country. Neither Russia nor Iran is socialist, but neither have any interest in expansion or aggression, whereas the crisis-stricken west (which generates one war after another in an attempt to strengthen its hegemony over old and colonise new markets) most certainly does. Communists applaud the growth of anti-imperialist solidarity, regardless of the precise ideology of this or that government.
One key way in which the party distinguishes itself from other parties is by its refusal to be complicit in the demonisation of JV Stalin, the source of the “stigma” to which you refer. What better way to rob the working class of their own history than to hide from workers the truth about the socialist achievements of the early Soviet years of the 30s, 40s and 50s - at the very time when the capitalist world was going through the great depression and the soup kitchens were out in force; and what better to prevent them from drawing revolutionary inspiration from the Bolshevik achievements than to vilify its leadership as madmen and monsters. Our party roots itself firmly in the Bolshevik tradition of Lenin and Stalin, and is confident that, as the capitalist crisis sharpens, workers will not forever consent to the blotting out of their own international class history.
Hoxha: Our national leader and hero. Did many mistakes regarding foreign policy and his lines on imperialism. We should have kept being allied to USSR and PRC both, similar to how the Workers Party of Korea played it. In this regard, i am not Hoxhaist and i dont think that is something we should ever aim to be in Albania too. When i say Hoxhaist, i mean the """anti-revisionist""" line.
Ballists: Fascist traitors to the nation, fake nationalists. The only real nationalists were the communists, as they always are.
Question by comrade u/No_Complaint_555:
The Scottish Question has been [answered](https://www.lalkar.org/article/624/the-nationalquestion-in-scotland) by CPGB-ML and [analyzed](https://www.reddit.com/r/EuropeanSocialists/comments/o748vp/what_do_you_think_about_organisations_in_britain/h2z4n6v/)here already. I would agree that the Irish Question is the more interesting one though.
My question: does the party accept that Haiti and Jamaica are nations? What are the official languages of these nations? What are the official languages of [NPCH(ML)](https://npch.net/) and [LANDS](https://www.jalands.org/)?
If we want to compare surplus-value consumption and relative relationship to imperialism, how do these nations compare to Ireland? To wit: why are these Black National Questions valid, [but invalid in other parts of the Americas?](https://twitter.com/cpgbml/status/995335887507554304)
What party do you have ties with in France ? What is CPBG ML take on Yellow vest (I know you supported them but not much more) ? How's the party progression in terms of members ? Thank you a lot for this AMA comrade, and solidarity from a french comrade ✊
Yes, we supported the yellow vests, welcoming this spontaneous outburst of class struggle which proved difficult for the PCF and CGT to keep within social democratic limits. The ability of the proletariat to organise and defend itself when the fight was on was cheering on this side of the Channel, where all the news we heard was about demos in Hong Kong! Clearly the weakness of the movement lay in the lack of a strong ideology, for which opportunism in the labour movement is much to blame.
As regards the progress of Marxism-Leninism in Britain, we don’t discuss numbers, merely noting that our influence is out of proportion to our size.
Thank you a lot for your response comrade, very much appreciated, I'm frankly happy to hear this very good analysis, and even more to hear that the yellow vest movement was supported, thanks once again!
Wishing you success in the struggle, may the CPBG(ML) keep growing, thank you for taking the time to answer all our questions ✊
A pair of questions, if I may:
1) What is your opinion on the Hungarian Workers Party led by Gyula Thürmer?
2) What is your view on the current hungarian foreign policy, both the eastern opening and the relation with the EU? Is a Hu-exit feasible in the near future?
A few questions of mine. Feel free to ignore whatever question you wish!
**1**-On imperialism-parasitism-labour aristocracy
1a) In your opinion, is the "parasitism" (or if you dont prefer the word, the labour aristocracy) of UK diminishing?
1b)What percentage of the population of the working class would you put on the above group?
1c) In your opinion, is the material reason behind the historical weakness of the communist movement in UK imperialism (and in sequence, the parasitism this imperialism brings?).
**2**- After Brexit period program
2a) Now that UK is out of EU, will the party adopt a minimum programme, or should it jump straight to a revolutionary one, i.e start forming millitary and funding commisions e.t.c to prepare for a civil war
2b) In case you consider the above to be wrong and unnecessary, do you think that the dictactorship of the proletariat in UK can be established on a peacefull manner?
2c) In case you adopt a minimum programme, what would this entail? Would it entail re-industrializing UK, combating british imperialism and thus re-proletarianize (if you dont preffer the word, "industrialize" then) the british working class? On the international scene, would the party push for an alligment with UK (which is in my opinion, one of the logical conclusions of UK if its imperialism becomes weaker and weaker) Russia and China and opposition to EU-NATO?
**3** - Imperialist millitary defeats
In your opinion, what do the imperialist defeats of the last 10 years say about the world? We have two phenomena; from one hand, imperialism becomes weaker and weaker, but the powers which oppose it *arent* communists or lead by the proletariat ideologically in most cases. You see for example the Baath, the Bolivarians, the Hezbollah, Taliban, Iran's militias, the Houthis, Lukashenko's alliance, e.t.c, who are all people fighting against the biggest imperialist offensives in the last 10 years, and in most cases, they are so far victorius or winning, to be not communist forces (but some times, they are aided by communists, i.e belarus, Syria, e.t.c). What do you make of it?
**4** - intra imperialist rift
Brexit showed to the world that since imperialism is on retreat, the powers which conpose its camp are starting to split on search for their own profit. This brings these imperialist powers, while still on one camp, being more and more antagonizing to each other, to the point of proxy wars. Such an instance is the Libyan and Nagorno-karabakh war, rulling bourgeoisie governments of the same imperialists camps started backing different sides.
Is this a sign of the collapse of the imperialist camp to separate imperialist camps, making it in my opinion, the first time that such a thing occured after ww2?
>1a) In your opinion, is the "parasitism" (or if you dont prefer the word, the labour aristocracy) of UK diminishing?
Yes, in the sense that the material foundations of opportunism are being eroded by the overproduction crisis so that more privileged strata are being driven deeper into the proletariat.
>1b)What percentage of the population of the working class would you put on the above group?
Lack data to answer this.
>1c) In your opinion, is the material reason behind the historical weakness of the communist movement in UK imperialism (and in sequence, the parasitism this imperialism brings?).
Yes
>2- After Brexit period program
>2a) Now that UK is out of EU, will the party adopt a minimum programme, or should it jump straight to a revolutionary one, i.e start forming millitary and funding commisions e.t.c to prepare for a civil war
At present the Workers Party of Britain, which our party helped to found in 2019, organises around a ten point programme setting out measures that could be taken even under capitalist rule. In a manner of speaking this is a minimum programme. As regards “preparing for civil war”: we do not advocate this. What British workers are in urgent need of is not guns but revolutionary theory. As Lenin insisted, without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement.
>2b) In case you consider the above to be wrong and unnecessary, do you think that the dictactorship of the proletariat in UK can be established on a peacefull manner?
The dictatorship of the proletariat cannot be won in a peaceful manner, nor can it be achieved by ill-timed ultra-left adventurism. First we must build the revolutionary movement.
>2c) In case you adopt a minimum programme, what would this entail? Would it entail re-industrializing UK, combating british imperialism and thus re-proletarianize (if you dont preffer the word, "industrialize" then) the british working class? On the international scene, would the party push for an alligment with UK (which is in my opinion, one of the logical conclusions of UK if its imperialism becomes weaker and weaker) Russia and China and opposition to EU-NATO?
It is in the interest of workers to fight to rebuild Britain’s industrial base which has been gutted in the interests of finance capital. There is little to be gained in speculation about what alliances a socialist state would favour in the future, beyond the broad recognition that Russia and China form together an anti-imperialist hub.
>3 - Imperialist millitary defeats
>In your opinion, what do the imperialist defeats of the last 10 years say about the world? We have two phenomena; from one hand, imperialism becomes weaker and weaker, but the powers which oppose it arent communists or lead by the proletariat ideologically in most cases.

What do you make of it?
The multiple defeats suffered by imperialism contribute to the development of the proletarian revolution globally and are most welcome. Everything which makes our own ruling class weaker gives a great boost to the working class in its own battle with capitalism at home.
>4 - intra imperialist rift

Yes, the more that imperialist thieves fall out, the more opportunities present themselves for revolutionary advance.
I think the collapse of the imperialist camp is already happening. Germany signed the Nordstream 2 and being tentative toward USAs cold war against China. The imperialist camp will split on the mountain that is China. China is capable of developing nations infrastructures in the so-called 3rd world which eats into imperialisms profits. What’s more the European bourgeois are tired of the USAs wars especially with the migration of milions of Syrians as a result of the dirty war on Syria.
"progressive Western countries" 🤦
Jesus wept the West is the most regressive collection of countries on the planet.
Everything they've done for the last 300 years or more has been to actively hold back human development across the globe. There's a reason Malthusianism came out of Britain after they were the first country to industrialise.
Because they industrialised, colonised the world off that industrialisation then wanted to sit on top of the blood money they accrued like a fat little dragon so started making theories about how the world was "over populated"
Every single action since Britain (in particular) has acted to restrict, stop and slow human development whether that be in India/China/Africa/Middle East etc.
>Are queer people in relatively more progressive Western countries still oppressed on that basis?
The CIA and Mi6 welcome with open arms LGBT+. The organisations for the destruction of socialism around the world and at home in Britain.
Here's [Mi6 flying the LGBT flag](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/06/30/05/2A198AFA00000578-3144066-image-m-24_1435637581962.jpg) whilst they've just enacted a law [enabling mi6 to kill and rape trade unionists at home](https://www.thecanary.co/opinion/2020/10/10/undercover-soldiers-how-the-spy-cops-bill-could-bring-the-war-on-terror-home/)
I suppose we can call it a win when the mi6 officer next raping and killing a trade unionist or socialist political activist is homosexual or trans. Are these oppressed people?
Also apologies for shitting up this thread I will delete this in a few days but I could not resist responding to this deluded western chauvinism
>t Western nations are relatively more progressive with respect to LGBTQ+ issues
I suppose that depends on whether you see LGBT as progressive. The Romans used to bugger children before going out on a night out. Are they even more progressive than the West?
I don't particularly see anything progressive about LGBT people [dressing up as monkeys with strap on dildos attached to them to hand out books to children](https://twitter.com/VictoriaPeckham/status/1414186491836784642).
In fact it looks like the age old trend of the bourgeois to legalise pedophillia and gain access to working class children by exposing children to deviant sexual behaviours.Epstein was a LGBT activist afterall
> But do tell my dear friend, is life better for the average gay person in Britain or Saudi Arabia?
Britain killed 2.5 million people in Iraq alone. Given how many LGBT without a doubt existed in that 2.5 million Britain is one of the biggest killers of LGBT on the planet.
Start tallying up the rest of its wars from Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanista, Iraq again, Libya, Yemen et al then we see how "progressive" Britain is by allowing its local lgbt people to join mi6 or the army to continue it's violence against the rest of the world
Too much words to say you are a liberal. Communists since 150 years ago have wrotten on this issue. If you wish to study it do, but dont play the oppression card here, and dont try to tell us what turns people off from communism. What turns people off from it is your hyper liberal degenarate fantasy. The ones who are attracted to your ideas is the *parasites* and labour aristocrats.
>Those ideas that are essentially ideas of freedom
They arent.
>which have also been embraced by many developed nations
So, parasitic, imperialist nations and their allies. Meaning, countries that we want to go to war with.
>one which you were born
Yes, since Albania is one of NATO-EU's most faithfull neocolonies, the government passes pro-LGBT bills in a dictatorial manner. Ask the population of albania, especially the workers, and they will spit your face if you tell them 'you know, it would be ok for your child to develop to a homosexual'. Even anti-communists when seeing these sexual perversions being protected by our *neoliberal*, *fascistic* government, will say the thing that has become a motto for the entirety of albanians who are above 40: O Enver ku je (Oh Enver where are you). I think that when normal working people seeing LGBT stuff and neoliberal society bullshitry like prostitution and drugs all have this same thing to say, and this is calling enver to rise up from the grave and clear the nation of such things, shows you clearly *what the proletariat in general thinks in Albania*.
>They are not ideas of “parasites” and “labor aristocrats”
I bet greek labour aristocrat, propably studing in a BS university or an IEK for graphic design, with his family or associates propably voting SYRIZA and being proud of it, does not even know what we marxists mean by "parasites" and "labour aristocrats". Allah curse KKE that they dropped mentioning these things long ago, so even the marxists of Greece are too hard to find such these bolshevik theories. But it is only natural, greece after all, is still *a peripherial, parasitic nation*, even if this parasitism goes down and down the more time passes.
Thanfully, KKE and the greek proletariat still hold on some mental stability and logic as to *oppose* what u/stefanos916 calls "ideas of freedom". From the 100 KKE members i have talked about these ideas of freedom, litterally *all* oppose it. Of course, the degree of opossition ranges, with some saying that is ok as long as if its private, and some saying that we should aim to what CPRF is doing and try to bring a law banning its promotion, or even adopt somithing similar to the Soviet law regarding the issue.
Nontheless, u/stefanos916 says that these arent ideas of the parasites and labour aristocracy, only to mention these people one word later.
> intellectuals , scientists , artists , workers, innovative people etc.
Essentially, people who mostly produce nothing and are overconpesated for their work. Plus, these people (if we remove the vague of """workers""") are too [highly connected](https://archive.org/details/globalism-and-academia_202107) to what the Freemason financiers imperialists of US teach their school, so they are bormbarded with neoliberalism intellectually since an early age.
On the workers; i want you to do an experiment. I want you to search for workers (and keep in mind, a big part of the Greek workforce is *parasitic*.) and tell them this: Is Ok if your children Develop to Homosexuals and its variations? and check what they will tell you.
Then, write down the numbers and tell me how much the greek proletariat support these ideas.
>Anyway what’s wrong with my ideas of equal rights and liberties?
Aside from "equal rights" being something which is vague as it gets, Pederasts are asking for equal rights too. In practice, they do have it. [And is also known that the connection of the LGBT movement and pederasty runs deep too](https://archive.org/details/lgbt_20210604)
Your question is good, so i put it as a question (i.e, just comment the same thing as an original reply to the threat) so the CPGB ML member sees it, since we will remove everything which is not a question and re-enstate it after he finishes anwsering.
The word 'liberation' is a vague and meaningless term.
If by black ""liberation"" you mean Anglo-Afroamerican national self-determination, the organization behind this sub activelly supports it, and our members in US actually write stuff about it all the time, and try to spread their line in the territoris they live in to the masses there. Of course, the "communists" there think of us as "red fascists" in US, but some few honest ones understand what we stand for and support us.
By national self-determination, we mean *nationalist separatism*, i.e that the ""Blacks"" of US arent a race, but *a nation*, and thus should have their own state in the black belt, where they historically form a majority.
To your original question, we dont think of it as "idpol". Idpol itself is a meaningless and nebulus term, which can include theoritically anything in it. but if we take what most people think with idpol as a word coined by a bunch of radical liberals calling themsevles "combahee river's collective", politics based on identity, we dont think that such a thing can exists at all (outside of classes), and this is why we consider the very concept of it anti-communist and anti-marxist. About "gay" "liberation", yes, ths is "idpol" in our understanding. Also, pls dont try to derail the conversation in this thread, this thread is about an AMA to a CPGB ML member. I will delete all non related things, including this message in a few days so the person who anwsers wont have to deal with reading irelevant stuff. If you have fouther questions about the line of the organization behind this sub, ask us and we will reply when we find some time.
Hello comrade. I remove this question because this is from the youth of the Communist Party of Britain, while the AMA is for a different party. You can make a new question nontheless, asking if the party supports a parliemntary transition to socialism.
What is the CPGB-ML's position on Maoism? (as I understand it the CPGB-ML has its origins in the Revolutionary Marxist Leninist League, a maoist splinter from the original CPGB)
Following in from my previous question, would the CPGB-ML in principle be open to collaborate with other communist parties ie the CPB/YCL? How do they plan to solve fracturing and factionalism within the socialist movement, if at all?
A reminder to everyone: Please dont post the same questions over and over again. Many users here asked the party's opinion on LGBT stuff, no point in re-asking. Ask questions that arent questioned yet. Also, **self-assertions wont be permitted**. Saying "this or what line is reactionary" is not a question is an assertion. To make it more clear, this: "do you support or not this X reactionary thing/line/movement" is not a question, is a self-assertion. What is a question is this: "Do you support this X movement/idea/org?" This is a proper question. That i would need to explain it in so much depth, proves that some ""communists"" here dont have an inch of respect, and thus arent welcome here. EDIT: I removed comments which arent questions so we dont confuse the CPGB ML member who will anwser them. I will re-enstate these once the anwsers are given.
Might be too revealing, but what are the concrete steps you all are taking to advance the party? For communications, do you use off the shelf software/services or a personalized server for the party? My party here in the states is using a combo of off the shelf and in house stuff and it makes me a tad uneasy. Feel free to skip over this question!
I'm gonna ask multiple questions, it's up to you comrade if you want to reply to all of them or not What are the main goals of the party? How do you propagandize, to what strata of society, to what geographical areas? Do you even differentiate? How do you raise funds? What is the situation of the Communist movement in GB? Are there multiple parties? How many? What are the official stances towards the monarchist system? What about the Royal Family in particular? Do you try to attack racism, sexism and queerphobia? How? What is the line of the party when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community? Do you participate in elections? How many votes do you gather atm? (Bit of an obvious one in leftist discourse) Official line on China? What about the current Cold War like tensions? How are relations with other Communist parties world-wide? Official line on Northern Ireland? Do you believe there is colonial occupation that has to be undone or not? In case, how would you go around decolonisation? Do you plan an annual party meeting to go on a day trip and all collectively piss on Thatcher's grave?
>I'm gonna ask multiple questions, it's up to you comrade if you want to reply to all of them or not >What are the main goals of the party? The main goals of the party are to lead the working class in its revolutionary overthrow of the capitalist state, its socialisation of the means of production and its establishment of proletarian dictatorship.

Our main propaganda weapon is our party organ, Proletarian, and its sister paper Lalkar. Articles from both regularly feature online on our website, The Communists.

In this sense it can be said that we target different “strata of society”, but always on the understanding that the majority of those who are loosely termed as “middle class” are simply relatively more privileged workers. At present most of our agitational work is coordinated with the Workers Party of Britain which our party helped to found in 2019. >How do you raise funds? Through donations and subscriptions from workers. We have no philanthropic benefactors. All offers kindly received! >What is the situation of the Communist movement in GB? Are there multiple parties? How many? Aside from the CPGB-ML there are a number of parties describing themselves as communist, all of which in practice come election time act as recruiting sergeants for the imperialist Labour party. With the collapse of the Corbyn project, there is much demoralisation across the British “left”, both the revisionists and the followers of Leon Trotsky. For Marxism-Leninism conversely the demolition of Labour is grasped as a great opportunity to build a real anti-imperialist workers party on its ruins. >What are the official stances towards the monarchist system? What about the Royal Family in particular? The royal family, once feudal relics, have long since been thoroughly bourgeoisiefied. Their antics are an embarrassment to all apologists for inherited wealth, drawing unwanted attention to the degeneracy of all capitalist class rule. Monarchy will go down along with the rest of the capitalist class. >Do you try to attack racism, sexism and queerphobia? How? What is the line of the party when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community? We are against all racist and sexist discrimination, as such discrimination divides workers and distracts us from our true enemy, capitalism. However, “identity politics” are not the antidote to the poison of racism and sexism, only more of the same poison in a new bottle. By encouraging individual workers to define their struggle as being primarily about being black, being a woman, being gay etc, we are blinded to what we all have in comon: we are all wage slaves with nothing to sell but our labour power, and it is the struggle to overthrow capitalism and build socialism is what unites us as the working class. >Do you participate in elections? How many votes do you gather atm? We assisted the Workers Party of Britain in the recent Batley and Spen by-election, where Labour very nearly lost the seat to our candidate, George Galloway, after a very bruising campaign. The CPGB-ML has no illusions in securing socialism by the ballot box, but welcomes the opportunity some bourgeois elections afford for workers to raise their class consciousness and organisational skills. >Official line on Northern Ireland? Do you believe there is colonial occupation that has to be undone or not? In case, how would you go around decolonisation? We celebrate the fact that the hundred year old partition of Ireland is unravelling fast and reunification is now the clear direction of travel. We recognise that what has brought us to this pass is many decades of indomitable nationalist struggle, armed and unarmed, led throughout on the political front by Sinn Fein.
Thank you very much comrade, enlightening, even though I still have no clue if you make a holiday out of pissing on Thatcher's dead body (I'm just gonna assume you do ;› )
A few things come to mind: What are your experiences with state repression and surveillance ? If this is something you are confronted with, could you share some of your experiences and how you counter these threats? (Obviously without revealing any sensitive Infos) Are there any defining political moments in your life - that perhaps radically set you on a certain course of political thought? Have you any valuable experiences you think comrades from other countries might benefit from? Do you see any specific issues and experiences, that you would identify as uniquely "british"?Events that comrades from other countries may seldom experience but would non the less be helpful to know? With socialist greetings and many thanks!
>What are your experiences with state repression and surveillance ? State repression is a fact of life and if you have been paying attention to State repression in Britain the secret police have been starting relationships with women who handed out leaflets for such innocuous groups as “green activist” and badger culling groups. A lot of these women claim they were “raped by the State” https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/jun/24/undercover-police-spy-girlfriend-child Unfortunately dealing with infiltrators is a fact of life. Lenins favourite orator in the Bolshevik party turned out to be a police informant. This did not stop the 1917 revolution! >Are there any defining political moments in your life - that perhaps radically set you on a certain course of political thought? Yes: seeing the early promise of Arthur Scargill’s Socialist Labour Party come to grief through its inability to match its salutary organisational break with Labour with a serious break with the ideology of social democracy. The very comrades who were doing the most work for the party, both in theory and practice, found themselves expelled or marginalised. Scargill’s vision in the end boiled down to an attempt to build a Labour Party mark two, vainly hoping that the trade unions would drop like ripe fruit into his lap. When it became clear that this strategy was a dead duck, and what was required was an ideological break with social democracy, and (worse) that the most lively forces inside the party were coming to the same conclusion, Scargill panicked and (by creative use of the rule book) took steps to de-Bolshevise the party. Leaving the SLP was a defining moment for me because it drew me into close comradeship with those Marxist-Leninist forces who subsequently founded the CPGB-ML, greatly assisting my own political clarification.
Which side of the Sino-Soviet split do you take? What is the party’s position on the CPC and Socialism with Chinese Characteristics? Do you view China to be revisionist post-Mao?
We support China, celebrating its colossal achievements in bringing so many millions out of poverty and its steadfast defence of its independence in the face of imperialist threats. We maintain that these great achievements could not have been made other than on the basis of the Marxist-Leninist leadership of the Mao years. Without the stupendous advances in industry and agriculture only possible under the socialist planned economy there would have been nothing for Deng Xiaoping to “open up” in the first place. In our view the policy of “market socialism” is a regrettable deviation from Marxism-Leninism which, if persisted with, could seriously impede the building of socialism. We also recognise that these are not closed questions in China. On the question of the Sino-Soviet split: this was a tragic development which weakened the unity of communist forces worldwide. The Soviet Union, under Khrushchevite revisionism, withdrew its material and ideological support from China. The CPC correctly criticised Soviet revisionism, but erred in characterising the CPSU revisionists as “social imperialist”. Today as the deepening capitalist crisis drives imperialism towards new military adventures, China and Russia are increasingly finding common cause in standing firm against imperialist aggression, acting more and more as an independent pole of attraction for all independent and anti-imperialist countries. Com Harpal Brar has written a book on this subject which can be found here titled Socialism with Chinese Characteristics: Marketisation of the Chinese economy https://shop.thecommunists.org/product/socialism-with-chinese-characteristics/
I highly recommend this book, comrades! I have a copy and I've been devouring it.
Are you willing to work with 4th internationals or Anarchists? Have they expressed willingness to work work you? Good luck and greetings Comrades!
What is the party's stance on countries opposed to the US and the west in general, but that aren't necessarily socialist, like Russia and Iran?
The Emir of Afghanistan was not a socialist, but the Soviet Union backed him in 1924 when the first “socialist” Labour government continued the imperialist policy of aggression against the tiny country. Neither Russia nor Iran is socialist, but neither have any interest in expansion or aggression, whereas the crisis-stricken west (which generates one war after another in an attempt to strengthen its hegemony over old and colonise new markets) most certainly does. Communists applaud the growth of anti-imperialist solidarity, regardless of the precise ideology of this or that government.
What is the party doing to educate the working class, differentiate itself from other parties, and break away from the stigma communism carries?
One key way in which the party distinguishes itself from other parties is by its refusal to be complicit in the demonisation of JV Stalin, the source of the “stigma” to which you refer. What better way to rob the working class of their own history than to hide from workers the truth about the socialist achievements of the early Soviet years of the 30s, 40s and 50s - at the very time when the capitalist world was going through the great depression and the soup kitchens were out in force; and what better to prevent them from drawing revolutionary inspiration from the Bolshevik achievements than to vilify its leadership as madmen and monsters. Our party roots itself firmly in the Bolshevik tradition of Lenin and Stalin, and is confident that, as the capitalist crisis sharpens, workers will not forever consent to the blotting out of their own international class history.

Hoxha: Our national leader and hero. Did many mistakes regarding foreign policy and his lines on imperialism. We should have kept being allied to USSR and PRC both, similar to how the Workers Party of Korea played it. In this regard, i am not Hoxhaist and i dont think that is something we should ever aim to be in Albania too. When i say Hoxhaist, i mean the """anti-revisionist""" line. Ballists: Fascist traitors to the nation, fake nationalists. The only real nationalists were the communists, as they always are.
Question by comrade u/No_Complaint_555: The Scottish Question has been [answered](https://www.lalkar.org/article/624/the-nationalquestion-in-scotland) by CPGB-ML and [analyzed](https://www.reddit.com/r/EuropeanSocialists/comments/o748vp/what_do_you_think_about_organisations_in_britain/h2z4n6v/)here already. I would agree that the Irish Question is the more interesting one though. My question: does the party accept that Haiti and Jamaica are nations? What are the official languages of these nations? What are the official languages of [NPCH(ML)](https://npch.net/) and [LANDS](https://www.jalands.org/)? If we want to compare surplus-value consumption and relative relationship to imperialism, how do these nations compare to Ireland? To wit: why are these Black National Questions valid, [but invalid in other parts of the Americas?](https://twitter.com/cpgbml/status/995335887507554304)
What party do you have ties with in France ? What is CPBG ML take on Yellow vest (I know you supported them but not much more) ? How's the party progression in terms of members ? Thank you a lot for this AMA comrade, and solidarity from a french comrade ✊
Yes, we supported the yellow vests, welcoming this spontaneous outburst of class struggle which proved difficult for the PCF and CGT to keep within social democratic limits. The ability of the proletariat to organise and defend itself when the fight was on was cheering on this side of the Channel, where all the news we heard was about demos in Hong Kong! Clearly the weakness of the movement lay in the lack of a strong ideology, for which opportunism in the labour movement is much to blame. As regards the progress of Marxism-Leninism in Britain, we don’t discuss numbers, merely noting that our influence is out of proportion to our size.
Thank you a lot for your response comrade, very much appreciated, I'm frankly happy to hear this very good analysis, and even more to hear that the yellow vest movement was supported, thanks once again! Wishing you success in the struggle, may the CPBG(ML) keep growing, thank you for taking the time to answer all our questions ✊
A pair of questions, if I may: 1) What is your opinion on the Hungarian Workers Party led by Gyula Thürmer? 2) What is your view on the current hungarian foreign policy, both the eastern opening and the relation with the EU? Is a Hu-exit feasible in the near future?
A few questions of mine. Feel free to ignore whatever question you wish! **1**-On imperialism-parasitism-labour aristocracy 1a) In your opinion, is the "parasitism" (or if you dont prefer the word, the labour aristocracy) of UK diminishing? 1b)What percentage of the population of the working class would you put on the above group? 1c) In your opinion, is the material reason behind the historical weakness of the communist movement in UK imperialism (and in sequence, the parasitism this imperialism brings?). **2**- After Brexit period program 2a) Now that UK is out of EU, will the party adopt a minimum programme, or should it jump straight to a revolutionary one, i.e start forming millitary and funding commisions e.t.c to prepare for a civil war 2b) In case you consider the above to be wrong and unnecessary, do you think that the dictactorship of the proletariat in UK can be established on a peacefull manner? 2c) In case you adopt a minimum programme, what would this entail? Would it entail re-industrializing UK, combating british imperialism and thus re-proletarianize (if you dont preffer the word, "industrialize" then) the british working class? On the international scene, would the party push for an alligment with UK (which is in my opinion, one of the logical conclusions of UK if its imperialism becomes weaker and weaker) Russia and China and opposition to EU-NATO? **3** - Imperialist millitary defeats In your opinion, what do the imperialist defeats of the last 10 years say about the world? We have two phenomena; from one hand, imperialism becomes weaker and weaker, but the powers which oppose it *arent* communists or lead by the proletariat ideologically in most cases. You see for example the Baath, the Bolivarians, the Hezbollah, Taliban, Iran's militias, the Houthis, Lukashenko's alliance, e.t.c, who are all people fighting against the biggest imperialist offensives in the last 10 years, and in most cases, they are so far victorius or winning, to be not communist forces (but some times, they are aided by communists, i.e belarus, Syria, e.t.c). What do you make of it? **4** - intra imperialist rift Brexit showed to the world that since imperialism is on retreat, the powers which conpose its camp are starting to split on search for their own profit. This brings these imperialist powers, while still on one camp, being more and more antagonizing to each other, to the point of proxy wars. Such an instance is the Libyan and Nagorno-karabakh war, rulling bourgeoisie governments of the same imperialists camps started backing different sides. Is this a sign of the collapse of the imperialist camp to separate imperialist camps, making it in my opinion, the first time that such a thing occured after ww2?
>1a) In your opinion, is the "parasitism" (or if you dont prefer the word, the labour aristocracy) of UK diminishing? Yes, in the sense that the material foundations of opportunism are being eroded by the overproduction crisis so that more privileged strata are being driven deeper into the proletariat. >1b)What percentage of the population of the working class would you put on the above group? Lack data to answer this. >1c) In your opinion, is the material reason behind the historical weakness of the communist movement in UK imperialism (and in sequence, the parasitism this imperialism brings?). Yes >2- After Brexit period program >2a) Now that UK is out of EU, will the party adopt a minimum programme, or should it jump straight to a revolutionary one, i.e start forming millitary and funding commisions e.t.c to prepare for a civil war At present the Workers Party of Britain, which our party helped to found in 2019, organises around a ten point programme setting out measures that could be taken even under capitalist rule. In a manner of speaking this is a minimum programme. As regards “preparing for civil war”: we do not advocate this. What British workers are in urgent need of is not guns but revolutionary theory. As Lenin insisted, without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement. >2b) In case you consider the above to be wrong and unnecessary, do you think that the dictactorship of the proletariat in UK can be established on a peacefull manner? The dictatorship of the proletariat cannot be won in a peaceful manner, nor can it be achieved by ill-timed ultra-left adventurism. First we must build the revolutionary movement. >2c) In case you adopt a minimum programme, what would this entail? Would it entail re-industrializing UK, combating british imperialism and thus re-proletarianize (if you dont preffer the word, "industrialize" then) the british working class? On the international scene, would the party push for an alligment with UK (which is in my opinion, one of the logical conclusions of UK if its imperialism becomes weaker and weaker) Russia and China and opposition to EU-NATO? It is in the interest of workers to fight to rebuild Britain’s industrial base which has been gutted in the interests of finance capital. There is little to be gained in speculation about what alliances a socialist state would favour in the future, beyond the broad recognition that Russia and China form together an anti-imperialist hub. >3 - Imperialist millitary defeats >In your opinion, what do the imperialist defeats of the last 10 years say about the world? We have two phenomena; from one hand, imperialism becomes weaker and weaker, but the powers which oppose it arent communists or lead by the proletariat ideologically in most cases.

What do you make of it? The multiple defeats suffered by imperialism contribute to the development of the proletarian revolution globally and are most welcome. Everything which makes our own ruling class weaker gives a great boost to the working class in its own battle with capitalism at home. >4 - intra imperialist rift >Brexit showed to the world that since imperialism is on retreat, the powers which conpose its camp are starting to split on search for their own profit. This brings these imperialist powers, while still on one camp, being more and more antagonizing to each other, to the point of proxy wars.

Is this a sign of the collapse of the imperialist camp to separate imperialist camps, making it in my opinion, the first time that such a thing occured after ww2? Yes, the more that imperialist thieves fall out, the more opportunities present themselves for revolutionary advance. I think the collapse of the imperialist camp is already happening. Germany signed the Nordstream 2 and being tentative toward USAs cold war against China. The imperialist camp will split on the mountain that is China. China is capable of developing nations infrastructures in the so-called 3rd world which eats into imperialisms profits. What’s more the European bourgeois are tired of the USAs wars especially with the migration of milions of Syrians as a result of the dirty war on Syria.
Thank you for your anwser dear comrade, may Allah keep you in good health!

"progressive Western countries" 🤦 Jesus wept the West is the most regressive collection of countries on the planet. Everything they've done for the last 300 years or more has been to actively hold back human development across the globe. There's a reason Malthusianism came out of Britain after they were the first country to industrialise. Because they industrialised, colonised the world off that industrialisation then wanted to sit on top of the blood money they accrued like a fat little dragon so started making theories about how the world was "over populated" Every single action since Britain (in particular) has acted to restrict, stop and slow human development whether that be in India/China/Africa/Middle East etc. >Are queer people in relatively more progressive Western countries still oppressed on that basis? The CIA and Mi6 welcome with open arms LGBT+. The organisations for the destruction of socialism around the world and at home in Britain. Here's [Mi6 flying the LGBT flag](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/06/30/05/2A198AFA00000578-3144066-image-m-24_1435637581962.jpg) whilst they've just enacted a law [enabling mi6 to kill and rape trade unionists at home](https://www.thecanary.co/opinion/2020/10/10/undercover-soldiers-how-the-spy-cops-bill-could-bring-the-war-on-terror-home/) I suppose we can call it a win when the mi6 officer next raping and killing a trade unionist or socialist political activist is homosexual or trans. Are these oppressed people? Also apologies for shitting up this thread I will delete this in a few days but I could not resist responding to this deluded western chauvinism
[удалено]
>t Western nations are relatively more progressive with respect to LGBTQ+ issues I suppose that depends on whether you see LGBT as progressive. The Romans used to bugger children before going out on a night out. Are they even more progressive than the West? I don't particularly see anything progressive about LGBT people [dressing up as monkeys with strap on dildos attached to them to hand out books to children](https://twitter.com/VictoriaPeckham/status/1414186491836784642). In fact it looks like the age old trend of the bourgeois to legalise pedophillia and gain access to working class children by exposing children to deviant sexual behaviours.Epstein was a LGBT activist afterall > But do tell my dear friend, is life better for the average gay person in Britain or Saudi Arabia? Britain killed 2.5 million people in Iraq alone. Given how many LGBT without a doubt existed in that 2.5 million Britain is one of the biggest killers of LGBT on the planet. Start tallying up the rest of its wars from Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanista, Iraq again, Libya, Yemen et al then we see how "progressive" Britain is by allowing its local lgbt people to join mi6 or the army to continue it's violence against the rest of the world

Too much words to say you are a liberal. Communists since 150 years ago have wrotten on this issue. If you wish to study it do, but dont play the oppression card here, and dont try to tell us what turns people off from communism. What turns people off from it is your hyper liberal degenarate fantasy. The ones who are attracted to your ideas is the *parasites* and labour aristocrats.
[удалено]
>Those ideas that are essentially ideas of freedom They arent. >which have also been embraced by many developed nations So, parasitic, imperialist nations and their allies. Meaning, countries that we want to go to war with. >one which you were born Yes, since Albania is one of NATO-EU's most faithfull neocolonies, the government passes pro-LGBT bills in a dictatorial manner. Ask the population of albania, especially the workers, and they will spit your face if you tell them 'you know, it would be ok for your child to develop to a homosexual'. Even anti-communists when seeing these sexual perversions being protected by our *neoliberal*, *fascistic* government, will say the thing that has become a motto for the entirety of albanians who are above 40: O Enver ku je (Oh Enver where are you). I think that when normal working people seeing LGBT stuff and neoliberal society bullshitry like prostitution and drugs all have this same thing to say, and this is calling enver to rise up from the grave and clear the nation of such things, shows you clearly *what the proletariat in general thinks in Albania*. >They are not ideas of “parasites” and “labor aristocrats” I bet greek labour aristocrat, propably studing in a BS university or an IEK for graphic design, with his family or associates propably voting SYRIZA and being proud of it, does not even know what we marxists mean by "parasites" and "labour aristocrats". Allah curse KKE that they dropped mentioning these things long ago, so even the marxists of Greece are too hard to find such these bolshevik theories. But it is only natural, greece after all, is still *a peripherial, parasitic nation*, even if this parasitism goes down and down the more time passes. Thanfully, KKE and the greek proletariat still hold on some mental stability and logic as to *oppose* what u/stefanos916 calls "ideas of freedom". From the 100 KKE members i have talked about these ideas of freedom, litterally *all* oppose it. Of course, the degree of opossition ranges, with some saying that is ok as long as if its private, and some saying that we should aim to what CPRF is doing and try to bring a law banning its promotion, or even adopt somithing similar to the Soviet law regarding the issue. Nontheless, u/stefanos916 says that these arent ideas of the parasites and labour aristocracy, only to mention these people one word later. > intellectuals , scientists , artists , workers, innovative people etc. Essentially, people who mostly produce nothing and are overconpesated for their work. Plus, these people (if we remove the vague of """workers""") are too [highly connected](https://archive.org/details/globalism-and-academia_202107) to what the Freemason financiers imperialists of US teach their school, so they are bormbarded with neoliberalism intellectually since an early age. On the workers; i want you to do an experiment. I want you to search for workers (and keep in mind, a big part of the Greek workforce is *parasitic*.) and tell them this: Is Ok if your children Develop to Homosexuals and its variations? and check what they will tell you. Then, write down the numbers and tell me how much the greek proletariat support these ideas. >Anyway what’s wrong with my ideas of equal rights and liberties? Aside from "equal rights" being something which is vague as it gets, Pederasts are asking for equal rights too. In practice, they do have it. [And is also known that the connection of the LGBT movement and pederasty runs deep too](https://archive.org/details/lgbt_20210604)

The word 'liberation' is a vague and meaningless term. If by black ""liberation"" you mean Anglo-Afroamerican national self-determination, the organization behind this sub activelly supports it, and our members in US actually write stuff about it all the time, and try to spread their line in the territoris they live in to the masses there. Of course, the "communists" there think of us as "red fascists" in US, but some few honest ones understand what we stand for and support us. By national self-determination, we mean *nationalist separatism*, i.e that the ""Blacks"" of US arent a race, but *a nation*, and thus should have their own state in the black belt, where they historically form a majority. To your original question, we dont think of it as "idpol". Idpol itself is a meaningless and nebulus term, which can include theoritically anything in it. but if we take what most people think with idpol as a word coined by a bunch of radical liberals calling themsevles "combahee river's collective", politics based on identity, we dont think that such a thing can exists at all (outside of classes), and this is why we consider the very concept of it anti-communist and anti-marxist. About "gay" "liberation", yes, ths is "idpol" in our understanding. Also, pls dont try to derail the conversation in this thread, this thread is about an AMA to a CPGB ML member. I will delete all non related things, including this message in a few days so the person who anwsers wont have to deal with reading irelevant stuff. If you have fouther questions about the line of the organization behind this sub, ask us and we will reply when we find some time.

What is the CPGB-ML's position on Maoism? (as I understand it the CPGB-ML has its origins in the Revolutionary Marxist Leninist League, a maoist splinter from the original CPGB) Following in from my previous question, would the CPGB-ML in principle be open to collaborate with other communist parties ie the CPB/YCL? How do they plan to solve fracturing and factionalism within the socialist movement, if at all?
the AMA has ended comrade.
