This is a purely non-antagonistic contradiction, regardless of your opinions on the PCP. As for the RGS, they maintain a political line, which you have to follow if you want to get in, like any other party.
Maybe start by studying PCP, they have multiple volumes from the 1960s till now. But for that you have to study M&E, Lenin then Mao.
As for the answer, Maoist analysis is that there is always potential of an inner bourgeoisie forming within the party, because class struggle continues under socialism, and the bourgeoisie will do anything they can to gain power back. If that is universal, then so is Maoism. Continuous purges are necessary, and the proletariat needs to get rid of the existing remenants of capitalism not just in the economic base, but in the cultural superstructure as well. I don't think it is any different from what Stalin did, and I hold that this is the praxis of Gramsci's theory of cultural hegemony.
I don't really think anyone should look at self-identified Maoists on twitter and call them dogmatic, endless debates will not result in anything, the internet is not the class struggle. I think you should talk more with RGS, I don't hold them in any negative way, I've heard decent things from them. They are student groups afterall.
they deliver consistent information about the various class struggles around the world, so I don't really have any negative opinion about them
this is mostly related to what is brought up in Origin of Family. Class society was historically progressive due to the evolution in generalized commodity production, however, it also brought about a contradiction of private accumulation. I bring up this being related because primitive societies lived as a community with a matrilineal framework, and the contradiction of private accumulation (origin of private property), coincides with the first class division, that between man and woman, which starts the eventual alienation of the working class from their labour, from others, and effectively from themselves.
"In an old unpublished manuscript written by Marx and myself in 1846 I find the words: “The first division of labour is that between man and woman for the propagation of children.” And today I can add: The first class antagonism that appears in history coincides with the development of the antagonism between man and woman in monogamous marriage, and the first class oppression coincides with that of the female sex by the male. Monogamous marriage was a great historical step forward; nevertheless, together with slavery and private wealth, it opened the epoch that has lasted until today in which every step forward is also relatively a step backward, in which prosperity and development for some is won through the misery and frustration of others."
damn that's crazy, anyways, any of my trans and NB comrades want to hop into tf2 and legally convert everyone into a femboy?
I don't think they teach SPE after the first psych 101 module in the first sem of undergrad, experiments like that and the Milgram experiments are the reason ethics approval board exists and became a necessity.
Psychology has a repeatability problem
Research in general does, but yeah, there are a lot of biases involved that need to be controlled for in psych experiments. Turns out measuring objective correlates of subjective behavior isn't so easy after all.
here is something that may be useful- https://en.maoisme.no/2021/12/04/maoism-vs-mlmpm/
their documents are on my to read pile, its like a 1000 pages long from the start of the formation of the party till the present, so I cannot give an accurate critique as of now.
you're confusing socialism for social democracy. social democracy comes at the expense of large scale exploitation of the third world through neo-colonial imperialism, so it is still capitalism
A law that applies to all ethnicities except non-Muslims is for no other purpose than to further the agenda of the fascist goverment's plan of a "Hindu state", as such, the idea of such an ethnostate is extremely reactionary. Although the states where CPI (Marxist) has control won't implement this, so that is an extremely rare W by them. Modi's continous rule over the nation as well as the military occupation of Kashmir is bound to be the destruction of the Hinduvta project
