Revolutionary Defeatism Does not Mean National Nihilism - Marxism Leninism 101
Mao never meant that "revolutionary defeatism" in terms expressed as total national nihilism meant agitating and working towards the dissolution of an entire country or people. NOT EVEN WITH IMPERIAL JAPAN OR NAZI GERMANY. Only in the decrepit Imperial core do Marxoids and Leftoids insist it means total abolishment of people (which is a sick sadistic abstract fantasy).
Mao didn't even say that Japanese Communists during WW2 should become national nihilists simply because Japan had been an imperialist aggressor. He did not tell them to reject Japan as a people because Imperial Japan committed atrocities in China. He told them to separate the Japanese people from Japanese imperialism, and to organize the Japanese masses on a patriotic anti-imperialist basis. He says very clearly that it is the patriotism of Hitler and the Japanese fascists, not patriotism simpliciter.
"Communists must resolutely oppose the “patriotism” of the Japanese aggressors and of Hitler. The Communists of Japan and Germany are defeatists with regard to the wars being waged by their countries. To bring about the defeat of the Japanese aggressors and of Hitler by every possible means is in the interests of the Japanese and the German people, and the more complete the defeat the better. This is what the Japanese and German Communists should be doing and what they are doing."
It's also hilarious how western Marxoidism and horrible intel infiltrated NCM New Left academic garbage insists that revolutionary defeatism applies to the the American people as well as the state. Where does any AES leader ever tell Americans to become nihilistic and abandon their national character and history and work to dissolve their own people and destroy their country?
This kind of degenerate theory simply serves rentier oligarchs desperate to prevent any kind of organization. Applying hyperbolic national nihilism to people and country alike (whilst conveniently masking the ruling elites identity) forecloses any chance to rally the masses to the banner of socialist revolution. AES countries all did the exact opposite historically.
Lenin did not dissolve Russia and Russians either. The original Soviet Union was known as the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, and this NEVER CHANGED. The Soviet Union simply grew in size to include other states. It was always called the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic even after 1921.
The "left" just disguises itself as an urban menial service class of cosmopolitan nihilists whose interests more or less aligns with that of the ruling elite: they only accept abstract bourgeoisie identities blessed by Universities.
We are Americans, like it or not- the path to revolution is to accept the horrible legacy of Imperialism and destroy the ruling class that mandates eternal division amongst it's own identity categories.
The revolution has ALWAYS BEEN NATIONAL IN ORIGIN, show me any historical example of AES that wasn't. This is basic 101 Marxism Leninism.
Revolutionary defeatism means opposition to one’s own imperialist bourgeois government in an imperialist war. It does not mean national self-hatred, dissolution of the people, or nihilistic rejection of all national history and culture.
Very funny watching all these leftists agree with the US Government’s position on Communist Patriotism today and act like it’s an own of the ACP.
They’re playing right into the ruling elite’s hands just as Michael Parenti said in his timeless book “Super Patriotism.”
The masses will never follow anti-social furries who hate their own people.
This national historical nihilism is why the left is a joke to most Americans, and the American ruling class would love to keep it that way.
If you’re taking tips on how to be a Communist from Donald Trump rather than Mao Zedong, maybe it’s time to take off your furry suit to look in the mirror and do some self-reflection.
