.dotdotdotsam Thought

.dotdotdotsam Thought is a Pan-Hispanic Marxist-Leninist ideology that represents the current views of user .dotdotdotsam. As a Pan-Hispanic, he advocates for a Latin America united under a federation of socialist republics in order to ensure sovereignty against Amerikan imperialism. As a Marxist-Leninist, he advocates for armed struggle in the form of a revolutionary vanguard in order to build that federation of republics. He ultimately wishes for a Latin America that is not only sovereign but progressive, democratic, secular, patriotic, republican, technologically advanced, and up to par with a historic socialist power like the USSR.

Taking inspiration from Chile's Cybersyn, he desires a distributed decision support system to assist in the management of the national economy (cybernetic socialism). He views the USSR's failure to computerize the economy under OGAS as a great mistake that should be avoided in the future, and thus advocates for a computerized planned economy in Latin America.

Additionally, he is culturally revolutionary and believes in surpassing reactionary cultural trends. Although he is not opposed to preserving harmless traditions for cultural reasons, he is opposed to the preservation of harmful traditions such as, for example, bullfighting and homophobia. He is a firm advocate of revolutionary feminism and LGBT rights, as they often bear the brunt of these harmful traditions.

General Assembly
The LAU has a general assembly that regularly meets once a year in an assembly hall, but emergency meetings can also be called. The assembly is led by a president who is elected by the member states of the LAU as well as 7 vice presidents who are also elected by the member states. For regular yearly meetings, the general assembly meets to overlook progress in the member states and adherence to intergovernmental law. For emergency meetings, the general assembly could theoretically meet for any reason, but emergency meetings are typically called when there is a grave and direct threat to the existence of the LAU such as a declaration of war or a particularly harsh sanction by an opposing nation.

Socialist Republics
Each socialist republic has a constitution that will lay down the framework that demarcates fundamental political code, structure, procedures, powers, and duties of government institutions. Within every individual republic, a popular referendum will either reject or accept the draft for the new constitution.

Assemblies
Every SR will have local assemblies within it, and each one will have an election every 2-3 years. Every 4-6 years, there will be an election for the national assembly. Citizens are not required to be members of the Communist Party to vote or to be elected for any position, and the Communist Party will not interfere in the political process by supporting or propping up certain candidates; attempts to do so are illegal as it is a form of lobbying. Anyone over the age of sixteen can vote and be elected for the municipal assembly, and once they are eighteen they can vote and be elected for the national assembly. Money and political parties will not have a place in the nomination process; instead, individuals will directly nominate those who they believe should be candidates. Community assemblies permit anyone over the age of 14 to join, and they will meet a minimum of once every 3 months to plan the running of the community (public health campaigns, keeping the community clean, assisting community members in need etc). The community assemblies will also be a place to discuss nationwide issues and legislation in order to feed back their proposals and thoughts to the national assembly.

Voting
Voting, like in all democratic countries in the world, will be done privately and secretly. Candidates' biographies and reasons for running will be displayed on local notice boards in order to make sure that every candidate gets the same exposure; after all, lobbying and bribing officials is strictly illegal. Delegates are required to meet with their electors around every 4-8 months for face-to-face sessions where they take up issues and problems raised by their constituents and seek solutions. If the constituents feel dissatisfied with the performance of their elected delegates, they can be recalled at any time.

Political Parties
Political parties will be allowed, but they are forbidden by constitutional law to attempt to reform the economy down a capitalist road. They are also forbidden by constitutional law to promote or campaign for certain candidates; this includes the national Communist Party, who is restricted by constitutional law from interfering in electoral process. The role of the non-CP political parties is essentially like a club that forms local political campaigns to address certain issues plaguing the community.

=Economy=

As a Marxist, it is obvious that communism does not come about in one day, it is a gradual process of development through differing material conditions. These stages of development will be explained below.

1 - Lower Stages of Socialist Construction
Since many countries in Latin America, especially the poorer ones, are running on semi-feudal agrarian economies, pragmatic economic policy must adapt to these material conditions. It is impossible to lay out a single plan for every republic due to differing material conditions, but a general guideline can be established.

Healthcare and Education
To begin with, healthcare and education will be made accessible to all; using the money that was seized from the capitalist class and formerly privatized sectors of the economy, healthcare and education will be built in every community for every citizen. Both of these services will be completely free of cost; this is done because firstly they are human necessities and secondly because it can build support for the new revolutionary government.

=How to Draw=

A few steps: =Short Writings= A common tactic by the modern bourgeoisie is to resort to Malthusianism as a solution to climate change, that is, to place blame on human population growth instead of their own imperialist tactics. Backed by bourgeois scientists and bourgeois politicians, it argues that Thomas Malthus, the 18th century cleric himself, was correct to assume that the inevitable growth of the human species will lead to great ruin. Moreover, they say, we have now reached this level of ruin! Their solution is population control, a mystification of the real problem with its premise being that population growth is an absolute driving consumption and destruction of the planet. Any Marxist, or any human being with intelligence in general, worth their time will dismiss this conclusion as demonstrably false. We must ask ourselves, what has driven this population growth? Have humans suddenly decided to fuck more often without protection? No. This population growth has grown due to the development of the productive forces within capitalism. In short, capitalism has been the reason why this population growth occurred.

 * -|Malthusianism is Eco-Fascism=

As capital continually expands at an increased rate, it requires an ever-increasing pool of human labor to exploit, as capitalism necessitates exploitation due to the tendency for the rate of profit to fall, which is caused by the competition between capitalists to expand productive capacity while the productive forces continually expand. The reality that we face today has been enforced through class exploitation, which is evident in the oppressed nations of the world where miniscule wages force families to rely upon the wages of their children (child labor) for survival. The Malthusian notion that population growth drives overconsumption is pure fiction, world-building on a level that only liberals can reproduce. Purchasing power drives excess consumption; in their personal consumption alone, the richest one-percent are responsible for double the emissions of the poorest fifty-percent! By understanding this, we can begin to understand population control as an imperialist weapon that is propagated in discourse that is created by the bourgeoisie through their monopoly on media, as we must remember how in a capitalist society the capitalist class controls the popular media in their favor. The overwhelming majority of growth in the human population is concentrated in the oppressed world, utterly unable to resolve any contradictions which give rise to such growth. Population control theory is nothing but the attempted legitimization of genocide; even if such measures were to somehow be implemented peacefully, the real crisis in population demographics (that we have an increasingly elder population) would ensure the collapse in production as those capable of laboring to the pace of capital’s dictatorship decline in number relative to the rest of the population. Simply put, Malthusianism births eco-fascism.


 * -|A La Guillotine!=

“Like everything else in the world, the revolutionary-democratic dictatorship of the proletariat and the peasantry has a past and a future. Its past is autocracy, serfdom, monarchy, and privilege....Its future is the struggle against private property, the struggle of the wage-worker against the employer, the struggle for socialism....”

The Monarchy - whether it be British, Spanish, Swedish, or Danish - is a reactionary institution, it can only be understood in the present day as a weapon of capitalism. Most of the monarchies of the world, particularly the European, were swept away following the uprisings that preceded the Industrial Revolution. The emerging power of bankers and merchants (the bourgeoisie) began a struggle for power, deadly in France, with these monarchies. In the French Revolution, the emerging bourgeoisie superseded the decaying French monarchy as it had become a hindrance to their interests. The bourgeois-democratic republic that came after the monarchy emerged as the result of the violent struggle - now, the God-given right to rule had been superseded by the God-given right to capital. Since in capitalism, capital is essentially means to rule, it must be understood that any changes since those bourgeois-democratic revolutions have been mainly marginal. The bourgeoisie decided that it could actually be useful to keep those lovely stuffed animals that decorate Buckingham Palace today; meanwhile, as a token of good will they fill up their royal pets’ pockets with profits robbed from the workers they exploited! The monarchy is by definition uninterested in democracy, peace, and socialism, and by necessity uninterested also in changes to the status quo. For the ruling class, the royals are a most powerful, regal, majestic, and noble friend; for those who wish to change society, it is a vicious, cruel, and wicked adversary whose tendrils corrode the blackest of hearts. The monarchy is used to empower the concept of "national unity", exploited as national heritage. Millions upon millions of pounds are made every year from tourists who wish to glance at the royal gold and ivory that stolen from the African continent - brutal colonialism that has not been undone after centuries.

The liars and hypocrites that comprise the bourgeoisie will continue to hoodwink the dull-witted and blind with talk of "equality" and "freedom", of so-called "peace" that is built off the back of slave labor from India, from Egypt, from Ghana, from Nigeria, from Kenya, and from many more oppressed nations around the world today. Equality between what class and what other class? Freedom from what yoke, or from the yoke of what class? These are the questions that the supporters of monarchy cannot answer, as they would expose themselves for what they truly are - a wolf in the clothing of a sheep who is in service to the interests of aristocracy and capital! Enlightenment, civilization, liberty - these are the pompous phrases that decorate the realities of the grotesquely coarse, filthy laws they pass that crush the power of workers, that treat the woman as an inferior being, that fundamentally work to oppress! Down with this despicable, odious, and revolting fraud! Down with monarchy, forward to socialism on Earth!


 * -|Multipolarism is Imperialism=

When the USSR collapsed at the end of the Cold War, the United States was left as the last hegemon standing. Much of bourgeois academia (cough cough Francis Fukuyama) was eager to declare the "end of history", awaiting the new bourgeois world order of liberal democracy with open-armed embrace - unipolarity of Amerikan capital. But now it appears that something is changing, that there is now talk of a multipolar world. It appears that the United States is slowing down to its competitors Russia and China. There is great confusion on how to relate to these new powers; many (liberals) have thrown themselves to the new Cold War of Amerikan imperialism against Russia and China, while others have thrown themselves to the grace of these opponent powers as a counterweight to US imperialism. Multipolaristas may refer to themselves as anti-imperialist, but in reality they prettify the world imperialist system and deny that competition between two imperialist powers will inevitably lead to war. Multipolaristas assume that imperialism is a uniquely Amerikan phenomenon - it is demonstrably not.

Russia is not anti-imperialist, not one bit. Just because it is militarily and economically lacking compared to the United States does not strip it of its imperialist status; Vladimir Lenin referred to Imperial Russia as imperialist even though it was practically a semi-feudal backward nation of peasants. Its war in Ukraine is not motivated by a desire to "denazify" it, it is to control its land, labor, and raw materials before they are seized by another imperialist power. When Russia invaded Ukraine, the struggle of the Russian imperialists against the Ukrainian masses became the primary contradiction. It is for this reason why the Russian imperialist war on Ukraine must be opposed. However, we must oppose Russia in a way that is not resemblant of the manner in which Amerikan imperialist politicians oppose Russia. They give power to the Ukrainian comprador bourgeoisie to poke Russia with a stick for years so that they can trigger a proxy war between their regional stronghold, Ukraine, and their regional opponent, which is Russia. They do not see a struggle for national defense against imperialism by the Ukranians, they see an opportunity to crush Russia instead - how unsurprising that imperialists will consider power before people. This is not to say that the Ukrainians are simply passive chess pieces in the game of imperialism, but it is without a doubt that the Amerikan imperialists have made great effort to manipulate and exploit the Ukrainian movement for defense in their favor. We must oppose the Russian war in Ukraine and support the right of the Ukrainians, with arms, to defend their land against an occupier; however, we must also oppose the effort of the US imperialists to expand into a major imperialist war.

Multipolarity, in whatever form it takes, will lead to war and violence against proletarians. How naive must one be to believe that permanent peace is possible between various major competing powers? Nonetheless in the age of imperialism? Lenin has expertly established that competition for raw materials and markets by different monopoly capitals must lead to imperialist wars of redistribution, and that periods of peace and even cooperation between the imperialist powers can only be preparations for war - to this day he remains gravely correct. As emerging imperialists enter the territory of old imperialists, war is always on the horizon. As Marxists, as Leninists, and as socialists above all, it is our duty to oppose war. The solution is not to support this or that imperialist power over this or that imperialist power, the solution is the abolition of the imperialist system through world socialist revolution. Only through fighting back against capital will we ever see an end to the brutal wars which plague and haunt the capitalist system. Supporting this or that imperialist power simply because it is opposed to an imperialist power you don't like is a form of vulgar, narrow nationalism that has nothing in common with dialectical materialism; fundamentally, war will be upheld. We must not support imperialist powers or blocs over any other, fundamentally, our position is with the international proletariat. The Ukrainian people are bombed and murdered by Russian imperialists, and the Russian people are sanctioned and put in economic distress from western imperialists - the bourgeoisie of both countries remains untouched. To that we say, down with imperialism! No war but class war! The only conflict we support is the conflict against the bourgeoisie!

 * [[file:MLL.png]] - Maoist, but honestly not bad. Now that I've leaned away from the futurism, your views seem more and more similar to mine.
 * [[file:MiskaAlt.png]] - Pretty much just the average Yugonostalgia type, the market socialism is problematic though.
 * [[file:Baconicon.png]] - Libertarian Marxist, but I like your cultural progressivism and willingness to relinquish anarchism. Overall pretty good, just drop the "libertarian" nonsense and embrace Leninism please.
 * [[File:Murb.png]] Neo-Murba - I'm really liking the stuff on your page, the only thing holding me back from putting you in 5 stars is the fact you're not an ML and you mentioned Bordiga as an influence [you seem kind of leftcommish to me anyways]. Very well read too, though I must say you should rewrite your "Problem of Transitory Phases" section because it's so atrociously worded it's practically unreadable. Overall really liking your stuff.
 * [[File:Jefsynd.png]] - I used to dislike your ideology back when I was Cyberleninism, but now that I'm reading your full page I must say that your stuff is pretty good. Your criticisms of social democracy and the rise of the left that is pro-prostitution are expertly said. However, I still personally oppose syndicalism and unionism as a revolutionary force in favor of vanguardism due to the fact I see unionism as overly economistic and unreliable. That being said, your stuff is pretty good to me.

 * [[File:O'Langism.png]] - We've had this discussion before but yeah I still don't think anarchism is a solution to the state's inherent oppression. Overall just average anarchosyndicalist.
 * [[File:DragonRed.png]]  - Your page is so damn long and it lacks a brief overview and I don't have any of the time in the world to read this stuff. That being said, you seem too overly bureaucratic, conservative, and xenophobic for my tastes. Your support of Latin American socialists is great and I appreciate it, but seriously cut it out with the reactionary BS.

 * [[File:Tomjaz.png]] - Vaushite, advocate of "libertarian market socialism" and has a philosophical outlook almost entirely indebted to liberalism. Overall not terrible but could use some work.
 * [[file:Erissky.png]] - I like the fact you're progressive and pro-technology [and a recovering alt-righter], but other than that we don't really see eye to eye. Anarchism and nihilism are just a bunch of edgy teen nonsense, but anti-humanity? You seriously want to get rid of humans? Anyways, other than that you seem okay to me please embrace Marxism-Leninism already.
 * - Liberal, pro-private property, pro-US, pro-NATO, pro-EU, humanist, the list goes on. Too much of an idealist, you fail to see how the interests of capital inherently contradict environmental sustainability and instead seem to push for the typical liberal "human capitalism". Overall average eco-capitalist.
