Anyone could have said the same to Marx about communism at any point in his life, as he died before the October revolution.
the difference is you named a bunch of dead ideologies that will never be revived, ML is literally the only form of marxism still flourishing
how is that speculation, its material; Im only interested in ideologies with proven merit.
Im willing to take a chance of a synthesis on a new idea, but it has to actually offer people something.
It’s speculation because you don’t know what the future holds. And just because you’re not interested in a particular ideology or don’t think it has merit doesn’t make it any less communist.
My only point is that words do in fact have meaning, Marxist-Leninism is not synonymous with communism. Therefore, one can be anti-tankie without being anti-communist.
