The site will be undergoing drastic changes starting tonight. If possible, even the URL and associated email will be changing. I'm okay, just need to change the name and some key documents have changed so drastically they'll be pending for a while

Donovan Thought (Undergoing rework!)

donovan-thought 6 days ago

To be clear on the new note, this is largely due to reading the entirety of Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism (which I failed to update on the site as being read) to verify a claim made in one of the Communist Party USA classes, and I've almost completed State and Revolution. These two documents have created a drastic increase in understanding of Marxism-Leninism when paired with what I'd read in Capital.

This has, in turn, clarified to me: 1. I had initially misunderstood some of the concepts (for instance, withering state vs. abolished state) and 2. was far too focused on quality-of-life increases over functionally abolishing imperialism

somewhat echoing caesthoffe here because it's also been on the mind but despite recognizing that i don't have to constantly update the site and i can take time for other things i do feel irrationally under pressure to do so

okay, returning sorta but to clarify I'm primarily writing off-site at the moment and doing research into a few topics, particularly the origins and purpose of the state

something notable lenin pointed out is clarifying that engels' discussion in anti-duhring points out that the marxist philosophers and the anarchist and social democrat philosophers (both) perceive the fall of the state entirely differently. engels stated and lenin clarified:

donovan-thought 4 weeks ago

bourgeois state → violent revolution → workers' state → withering into nothing more than an organization that distributes commodites once class antagonisms are done away with (as the state serves as a mediator to force the oppression of one class over another, ex. bourgeois state over proletariat or proletarian state over bourgeoisie, to prevent class warfare)

donovan-thought 4 weeks ago

the anarchist movement (bakunin and kropotkin) and the social democrat movement (bernstein, bizarrely also bakunin, and kautsky) interpreted the fall of the state as a full abolition, with a minor distinction that the anarchists presented bourgeois state → violent revolution → free association in a stateless, alegal society

donovan-thought 4 weeks ago

the social democrats, precursors to the modern democratic socialist movement, contrarily presented the ludicrous concept of bourgeois state → electoralism in the bourgeois democracy → somehow transitioning into a proletarian state → state abolished. notably the modern democratic socialist movement has slightly altered that first stage to market socialism (or just capitalism with social protections)

I will probably be less active here per I'm putting major focusing into rewriting The Red Star of Heoism as it needs major revisions (and I would like to expunge my kindness towards Mormonism as I have learned more about it that makes me thing its eradication is a better option than trying reformation, whereas for example Christianity could be put onto Christian Communism per Jesuit and Marxist praxis similarities)

I'm additionally going to be more active in the CPUSA as they're a party that actually does stuff. Like not just statements and newspapers but honest to fuck praxis, even if just in the form of community aid and raising Communist banners at protests. We've got direct coalition with the Communist Parties of Vietnam, Cuba, and Chile as well, and are with the IMCWP.

I've been talking with some folks in the CPUSA and my understanding from common sentiment that the CPUSA has been compromised since COINTELPRO is, apparently, misinformation nowadays. So after asking a ton of questions and looking into the party, I'm formally making the swap from the inactive SPUSA to the surprisingly active and largely CPUSA.

As a TLDR, the modern CPUSA largely grants organizational autonomy to its party clubs and has far greater democracy than the SPUSA does. They're also surprisingly transparent to their members. Post-COINTELPRO, the CPUSA drastically increased party security and has had to ward off multiple fifth columns. Notably, they had to expel a neo-nazi faction attempting infiltration a little over a year ago that was trying to

gain influence in the party and become the dominant faction. This obviously didn't work. The faction in question nowadays calls themselves the, "American Communist Party (ACP)." They advocate for, "National Bolshevism," "Socialist patriotism," and, "MAGA Communism." If it's not obvious, these guys are just nazis.
