I originally intended that the Stalinist current would be represented by the Anti-Revisionist branch, but I can see how that would be unclear

the real secret that Trots don’t want us to realize: all of the splinter groups actually just believe the same thing

Except for Posadas lol

I agree with the criticism of the fascist branch, I think I will keep it but try to make the deviation more clear. As for the “applications of marxism to different regions/material conditions” I am aware of the difference between Maoism and Mao Zedong Thought, in the chart I was referring specifically to the ultra-leftist tendency of Maoism as practiced by the Chinese and other various Red Guard groups in the 60s. I think you have a point in that though so I think I will reorganize that part to include Mao Zedong Thought and connect it to the Socialism With Chinese Characteristics branch as well. As for the reason the chart is organized with “regional variants” of ML, the purpose is so someone reading the chart can say, for example, “hmm I wonder what the ideological roots of Doi Moi are” and then look and see that it’s a syncretism of Ho Chi Minh Thought (Vietnamese application of Marxism-Leninism) and Market Socialism, which is more useful than just saying “it’s just the application of Marxism-Leninism to modern Vietnam’s material conditions” which is reductionist and not very interesting for someone reading the chart. And to your final point, yeah it’s definitely an oversight that Egoism isn’t on there and thanks for reminding me.

Also, I’m astounded that you took the time to write a criticism of the fascist branch of the tree but didn’t mention that I listed neoconservatism as an evolution of Trotskyism lmao

I hate that there are people out there who can say “progressive zionist” with a straight face

Chinese century go brrr lmao

I’d put money on the guess that the “jewish people being excluded” in the original article really just means that leftists don’t want zionists at their rallies

Say what you will about the quality of the show (I wouldn’t know, I’ve never seen it) but I have and always will admire the dedication taken to making an episode in a week. There’s definitely a distinct advantage to that and I would like to see more shows doing that in the future.

Wdym fallen lol
