Promote non interventionism. We don’t have to convince them to like China. It’s enough to convince them to stop meddling in foreign country affairs, and focus on building socialism in America. We’ll cross the China bridge when we get there (seemingly never)
The events of Lebanon makes way less optimistic about the armed struggle. Hezbollah is the most powerful non-state actor, but it took a massive blow from Israel in such a short time. Israel can watch them 24/7 from satellites, can compromise their supply chain, and can even compromise their communication. Their technical and logistical superiority is so great, it is difficult to imagine beating them.
Unfortunately, it is likely they got him. Israel seems to have compromised hezbollah’s communication channel, already managed to assassinate much of the 1st and 2nd command. They are infiltrated.
Hezbollah isn’t even firing back anymore. This is like the 6 day war all over again. Israel has gone completely rogue
Unfortunately despite its niceties, suburban living is harmful for the planet. Humans should limit their footprint by concentrating in cities.
Yeah, I do think some communists spend a little too much time defending the USSR’s controversies, but I think our time is much better spent focusing on the positives and asserting that this is what inspires us. Whether those human violations existed or not, we are not inspired by them and are irrelevant to what we believe.
Our support for the USSR comes from a place of wanting to learn from past experiences rather than glorify them. Unfortunately the USSR is gone, and we must do better today.

It could be a stepping stone for better political change. You have to start somewhere, and right now the state is way too powerful. If a revolution does start, the commune can act as a safety net for revolutionaries, and possibly supply the revolutionaries with what they need.
I agree that it has to industrialize. Does it have to compete with private industry from the get-go? The commune’s goal in the beginning is to build up its ability to satisfy the needs of its members, and the industry will build up slowly. No need to compete with private industry.
