The only problem with the January 6th insurrection was that it was an interclassist horde rallying to defend its particularly abhorrent vision of the capitalist state.

But let's be clear. Revolutionaries do not defend the state, its personnel, or its democratic processes:

"The communist party unleashes and wins the civil war, it occupies the key positions in a military and social sense, it multiplies its means of propaganda and agitation a thousand-fold through seizing buildings and public establishments. And without losing time and without procedural whims, it establishes the 'armed bodies of workers' of which Lenin spoke, the red guard, the revolutionary police. At the meetings of the Soviets, it wins over a majority to the slogan: 'All power to the Soviets!'. Is this majority a merely legal, or a coldly and plainly numerical fact? Not at all! Should anyone -- be he a spy or a well-intentioned but misled worker -- vote for the Soviet to renounce or compromise the power conquered thanks to the blood of the proletarian fighters, he will be kicked out by his comrades' rifle butts. And no one will waste time with counting him in the 'legal minority', that criminal hypocrisy which the revolution can do without and which the counterrevolution can only feed upon." - Bordiga, Proletarian Dictatorship and Class Party

I'm pleased to present y'all with a gift this holiday season—I've restored Eden Sauvage's incredibly useful "Communist Reading List (Ultra-Left)," giving it a new home. Consider this a soft launch of a blog I plan to work on next year, Tenants + Movements https://jfprk.wordpress.com/2022/12/21/communist-reading-list-ultra-left/

That is to say, my own politics are kind of a blended approach. LeftValues says "centrist #marxist," with a bit of lean into #Trotsky and #ultraleft. I wouldn't call myself an #Anarchist, but I'm wary of too much executive power. My hope is to engage with any comrade in a search for a deeper understanding and cooperation moving forward.

#leftist infighting is a meme, but that meme is also a way to keep us divided instead of mainstreaming a message. At least, that's my take. Feel free to engage
