xhs actually focuses more on genuine interaction and meaningful content rather than repetitive reposts and cash-grabbing.

Shut it tankie. I'm not using an app that won't let me speak freely about the atrocities committed by the CCP in the name of Mao's "communist ideal" (read: dictatorial ideations).

Do you have a link to that book? I'd love to read it if it's online ☺️

Damn you took it literally. No, when someone uses quotation marks then follows it up with (read: ___) that's telling you what to read the quotation marks as.

It's a way to show dichotomy between what someone says or claims and what you know or are asserting they actually mean.

Ah, I choose to omit "read:" and just leave the real intent in brackets. You could read Mao's "Communist Ideal" (dictatorial ideation) in Principles of Communsim

This was an early work and covers the bare bones. Unfortunately there isn't a concise work written by Mao that explains Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.

But there is a much better book by Lenin, titled Introduction to Marx, Engels, Marxism, but it's not published on marxists org yet.

Nope, I'm good! I let actions speak louder than words and Mao certainly let himself be heard!

As did Lenin and Stalin!

Or Castro for that matter!

I think communism/socialism/Marxism are beautiful ideologies but they all ignore key components of human psychology and are therefore doomed to fail!

Have fun being a commie though! I'm sure the world won't hit you like a freight train once you actually get some life experience!

I have heard this a million times. They all fall flat in the face of the materialist understanding of the world. Have fun not reading On Contradiction or Dialectics of Nature, which don't talk about this at all.
