I must say: for Communists that have not read Nadezhda Krupskaya or Amilcar Cabral, you are selling yourself short.

J.V. Stalin on the rejection of a textualist, or mechanical, interpretation of the writing of Marx and Engels
"мир" is one of the greatest/most profound words in the Russian language. I wrote something on this a while back:

"So one army lines up in one place and says, “We are for socialism”, and another, somewhere else and says, “We are for imperialism”, and that will he a social revolution! Only those who hold such a ridiculously pedantic view could vilify the Irish rebellion by calling it a “putsch”.
Whoever expects a “pure” social revolution will never live to see it. Such a person pays lip-service to revolution without understanding what revolution is."
- Lenin
To imagine that social revolution is conceivable without revolts by small nations in the colonies and in Europe, without revolutionary outbursts by a section of the petty bourgeoisie with all its prejudices, without a movement of the politically non-conscious proletarian and semi-proletarian masses against oppression by the landowners, the church, and the monarchy, against national oppression, etc.-to imagine all this is to repudiate social revolution."
- Lenin
"It is often said that the working class spontaneously gravitates towards socialism. This is perfectly true in the sense that socialist theory reveals the causes of the misery of the working class more profoundly and more correctly than any other theory, and for that reason the workers are able to assimilate it so easily...Nevertheless, most widespread (and continuously and diversely revived) bourgeois ideology spontaneously imposes itself upon the working class to a still greater degree." Lenin
I don't believe in "left unity" tbh. I believe in a unity between Communists and the bulwarks against imperialism, regardless of their characterization on the Western-centric "left/right" scale.
