I agree with Notes on "Communism in the post-MAGA Age" by LIBERTYMAXXING
The reason I’ve decided to engage with ‘Geese magazine’ in good faith, is since they have decided to leave behind the sad, tiring, and genuinely tragic (as an exemplary case of pathology) psychosis that defines how the majority of ‘leftists’ respond to our existence: Calling us fascists, making bizarre, random, paranoid, unsolicited references to The LaRouche Organization (millennial Laius?), or completely misrepresenting my treatment of Aleksandr Dugin ideas (along with Heidegger, and Carl Schmitt (???) whose standing within Left-Wing academia is well established). These responses are simply annoying. They have been discredited and thoroughly dismantled in dozens of different ways across dozens of different mediums, so had ‘Geese magazine’ simply repeated them, I would have simply dismissed them and moved on.
So it’s refreshing to see a ‘polemical’ engagement with MAGA Communism that is, even if misguided, devoid of that outright psychosis or pathology. I regard it as possible to polemicize with Geese magazine as a Bolshevik polemicizes with other Russian Marxists, dare I say, even with other Bolsheviks. I welcome the spirit of impersonal, dare I say, Seek Truth, and really do encourage this new precedent of civil polemical engagement with opposing Left tendencies.
I cannot, however, help but wonder if the ability to discard all the rubbish regarding “LaRouche” and “Nazbols,” is premised on the woeful falsehood that MAGA Communism is “dead.” I expect at least some leftists will be more generous and charitable with me after I am dead, it’s only natural that good-faith engagement is bound to follow after certain estranged ‘comrades’ are emboldened by the illusory perception that the thing now lies dead, defeated, and concluded.
Engaging in good-faith with something living, active, and growing, risks helping enable it — at least according to what follows from the ‘logic’ that now prevails among ‘leftists.’ In other words, it’s safe to be fair to something you mistakenly think is ‘dead’ — so I will reserve any further praises for ‘Geese Magazine’ until they acquire more familiarity with the real vitality of our young Communist Party.
They titled the article: “An Autopsy of MAGA Communism: Into the Crisis of the so-called “American Communist Party.” On the basis of that title alone, I find myself owing a tremendous debt to its author, ‘Gigi D.’
You see, as the Executive Chairman of the American Communist Party, I find it difficult to excuse my ignorance: Even I was completely unaware of any crisis facing the Party. Were it not for Gigi, perhaps no one would have known, least of all myself, that we face a crisis.
Recruitment is booming, activity is at an all-time high, cadre have been steadily but surely building a presence in almost every state across the country, invaluable experience with respect to the basic principles of internal collective organization, labor, tenant, and community organizing has been gained and continues to be gained. The Party continues to make leaps and strides in the accumulation of basic pedagogical skills; the basic ability to bring Communist consciousness to non-Communists, even anti-Communists. Cadre continue to disseminate and apply basic skills that are indispensable from the long-term point of view of Dual Economy: Construction, carpentry, agriculture, self-defense, robotics, drone piloting, software programming, automotive mechanics, terrain intelligence, physical fitness and endurance, and, of course, basic communication skills.
I would, of course, be remiss to mention the tremendous successes regarding our Party’s media strategy, including the dissemination and proliferation of media, photographic, videographic, editing, rhetorical etc. skills, given that it is the only success our critics are forced to recognize. Evaluating the performance of our young Party on any other basis would require a more empirical, effortful investigation into its day-to-day, and on-the-ground activities. The majority of our critics would prefer to ignore our Party’s existence entirely. There is nothing unreasonable in making the basic observation that their judgements are clouded by bias: They are, in the first place, predisposed to repressing the fact that we exist. Enough people can attest to the sheer cognitive dissonance and mental anguish our position induces in the majority of ‘leftists.’
