I feel like I’m going through a milestone in the life of every communist organizer, lol

      Well, while we can dream, I’m not for unity for unity’s sake. Unity comes from shared principles and strategy, which are built through discussion and dispute.

      There’s a fine line between having a United struggle and excusing revisionists. There’s also a fine line between criticizing revisionists and just being sectarian.

      Communists in the settler and Imperialist countries can’t seem to grasp their contradictions. They need to step back and research the material conditions to find their actual mass base and primary contradictions.

      For Brazil the settler population owns most of the property and the largest vehicle for “wealth creation” is expropriating and exploiting indigenous land and labor for international markets. This process is fueling the Brazilian middle class which has so far shown itself to be very reactionary. This is not coincidentally why Bolsonaro’s camp has been destroying the Amazon and murdering activist land protectors (mostly indigenous). Communists in Brazil who don’t see this will cause fractures in their parties and movements.

      Honestly it’s about time for this one, and this might even be a change for good. From what I’ve heard and read, the issues right now are so systemic and entrenched that there could be no solution from within the party. But from what I understand (and I might be wrong), the current split doesn’t intend to create a different party, only to deal with the current leadership and make the party apparatus be actually effective for once.

      To me this inspires some hope, as my biggest complaint in our politics was the lack of a truly committed and effective revolutionary party. Can’t wait for the dust to settle.
