It has become clear.

For those of us for are Unorthodox in our communist ideas, even blanket places that seem to be for all of those on the left are against us. Instead of listening to arguments against their notions, they use their power to silence you. They insist that you must agree with the orthodox standings of those of the past.

There was a reason I moved away from Lenin. Namely as I got older, and read more, the realisation that the vanguard was not some end all be all solution was clear, and I have such took a stand against it. But, also as I explained in one of the stickied posts, the idea of a transitional state as stated in Leninist thought is incorrect. The Workers State *must* be controlled completely by the workers to be socialistic in nature, not by a vanguard or anything of such.

This is why nations that the orthodoxists cling to as being „AES“ are not such. But in these places they will not listen. Another point about Orthodoxy is they have an inability to accept the incorrectness of old analysis on the modern day as historically based. Going by their own definitions the things they seek to protect are not what they say they are. They still parade the definitions layed out by Marx and Engels (and others over time of historical analyses), yet use them to defend things that dont actually defend such.

In turn an Unorthodoxist must learn an important lesson: those of the Orthodox variety are never able to change. They will drag us down with their old ways. We must seek to have them never come to political power, as if they do they will continue the Cycle that Tony Cliff rightfully pointed out: the Cycle of the Intelligensia and State Capitalism.
