Of all the immense burdens we face in blazing this trail through a largely abandoned Marxist-Leninist terrain, perhaps the most daunting task for organizers aligned with this party-building tendency over the next few decades is the question of cadre formation, a pressing concern, addressed with a great deal of confusion since Lenin, that demands much more elaborate theoretical development.
translation: how the hell are we going to teach people about communism?, it will surely require hundreds of 15 thousand word blog posts to work this out

Eclecticism: The sour soup of revisionism trying to hide its own taste
The author is particularly eclectic when he makes a post denouncing Third-Worldism by reiterating the work of Rashid and then in the very next post goes on to parrot the liberal and Third-Worldist idea that we have the white working class (not US imperialism in crisis) to blame for Donald Trump:
“The white working class flew the coop and gave us Trump, delivering Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin into his hands. Not the petit bourgeoisie, the ever so vaunted white working class. People that used to work in steel mills and auto plants.”
A materialist understanding would necessitate some investigation into the registered voters in the 2016 elections. About half the country did not register, and only 53% of those registered actually voted. The lowest voter registration as usual is found among the working class, which is still majority-white in the US. Despite this small number of working-class voters, he has come to the conclusion that Trump’s presidency is the product of the white working class.
also the white working class issue and imperialism in crisis are the same issue. the white working class is very slowly being dispensed with as a favored nation by imperialism and its definitely provoking a crisis whose direct result is trump. really poor white workers might not support trump specifically but i think white supremacist ideas are a lot more prevalent than explicit support for trumps specific formulation of those ideas. such lazy stupid shit.

Thank you and namaste.
The latest drama, this time I'm on the side of the PSL though because the Red Guards seem genuinely crazy and probably infiltrated.
