  • Feel like that’s a bit of a straw man - Lenin didn’t claim that his contribution to Marxist theory constituted naming a new ideology after himself.

    It was after his death that the idea that his work had advanced understanding of Marxism enough and that it had led to a revolution that that it should be an ideology.

    There’s plenty of authors of Marxist theory that don’t end up in -isms but still have very valuable contributions.

    This is coming from someone who thinks the “anarchist don’t read theory” thing is overplayed as most of the IRL anarchists I know do read theory.







  • I’ve only been following it a bit so someone else can hopefully add more details.

    The election for president took place on 17/8 but since no candidate won a majority it now goes to a runoff on 19/10.

    Due to Evo not being able to run and the infighting between him and Acre he pushed his supporters to submit null votes so MAS did not make the cut. So we’re in a waiting period to see who will win but either way it’s a blow to the left in the country.

    My understanding is that Evo still has large support from the indigenous groups and they may be looking at a non electoral route but haven’t heard much details on that and have no idea if that’s even feasible.

    Edit: Deleting my last 2 paragraphs as @[email protected] has a much better comment covering those.
