Thoughts On Revolution, After Reading Trotskyism vs Leninism

This isn't my notes or the points from Stalin's statement. Trotsky had his vision on revolution, which seems to differ from many on the subject. 

Trotsky believed revolution had to be global and continuous or it would fail. Stalin's Leninism held that socialism could be built in one country first, then expanded. Reading that debate clarified my own position: revolution should advance where conditions allow, consolidate immediately into a unified structure, and expand outward without waiting for the whole world to be ready at once.

I too differ from others in my thoughts on revolution and seizing control of society and our resources. Sometimes the consensus is correct, and sometimes one has to take a left at Albuquerque and take the correct path of history.

"Those who help to perpetuate white supremacy are the enemies of the people, even if they are black, while those who oppose all forms of racism form part of the people irrespective of their colour. A freedom movement that rejects this basic principle does so at its own peril." - Nelson Mandela 1978 Whither the Black Consciousness Movement?

"We were becoming like them, hypocrites and liars, adulterers, lazy drones, all talkers, and no workers." – Black Hawk

We should see communism as a full theoretical tree rather than a single branch. Revolutionary strategy should be based on evidence, conditions, and logical analysis, not on rigid adherence to one thinker.

"We do not regard Marx’s theory as something completed and inviolable; on the contrary, we are convinced that it has only laid the foundation stone of the science which socialists must develop in all directions if they wish to keep pace with life." - V. Lenin, 1899 Our Programme

When it comes to revolution, in terms of classification, my perspective aligns most closely with a hybrid or synth, integrationist variant of Stalin‑era, Comintern, Marxism‑Leninism. It emphasizes a broad revolutionary alliance of the proletariat, peasantry, the lumpenproletariat, and other marginalized classes, treated as equal partners rather than separate sectarian political identities, as long as they share the core principles and ethics. And if one believes people are a product of their environment, they should be willing to consider aligning with the lumpenproletariat. No single group of the three plus groups must be allowed to be the main revolutionary force, because it's about human homogeny.

"In all your acts, self interest shall be cast away. Look and listen for the welfare of the whole people, and have always in view not only the present, but of the coming generations." - The Haudenosaunee Confederacy

"Human consciousness determines what we do and how we do it. Consciousness is given order through a belief system. The reality of any belief system is expressed through ideas and values, which give us practical guidance. Ideas work together with values in a consistent, mutually affirming system. Ideas such as love, truth, and justice work according to values of caring, honesty, and fairness. The wise must also be just. Every society organizes itself politically, socially, and economically according to its values. For tribal people, who see the world as a whole, the essence of our work is in its entirety. In a society where all are related, simple decisions require the approval of nearly everyone in that society. It is society as a whole, not merely a part of it, that must survive. This is the indigenous understanding. It is the understanding in a global sense. We are all indigenous people on this planet, and we have to reorganize to get along." - Rebecca Adamson

With international support being proportional to material capacity, successful socialist territories should integrate immediately into a unified political structure. This process continues as long as conditions allow, with the goal of creating a consolidated global socialist union, a world soviet republic, a single planetary unificationist ML entity, the collective oneness and stewardship of humanity.

"The aim of socialism is not only to abolish the present division of mankind into small states and all national isolation; not only to bring the nations closer to each other, but also to merge them." - V. Lenin, 1916 The Socialist Revolution and the Right of Nations to Self-Determination

"We need to rediscover our sense of community, our sense of shared responsibility, and our commitment to the land and to each other." - Taiaiake Alfred

Radical Toilers and Wage Slaves Of The World Unite! Tutus In Undis inter chaos, ultra quod est trudas oportet ad quod debet esse. - Yaunti,the Hive-Mind Collectivist.
