Okay so, I have a friend who was communist (he still considers himself as a communist). He’s deeply anticapitalist, on this point almost everything’s fine.
But on some issues he is becoming a reactionary dude.
To show some of his “ideas”:

1. Atheists are way more stupid than religious people because “Newton and Lavoisier were religious”

2. The life of the peasant was way better during the ancien regime/absolute monarchy period because “at this time at least the nobles were fighting each other. And compared to the bourgeois they don’t want to have more power and wealth”

4. he thinks that the true liberation of women is not by working and making the revolution with the men. But going back to the kitchen to do the cleaning and take care of the kids because for him it’s better than being oppressed by their bosses

5. And finally. He thinks that we shouldn’t have too much immigration because they steal the jobs of French (we’re French) and immigrants lives in terrible conditions so for him to stop their conditions we should just stop immigration

So just.. is he really became fully reactionary or not that much?

Hi, it’s been around 8 months I started playing bass. I can play relatively simple songs like Zitti e Buoni from Måneskin and most of their songs btw, Creep, Smell like teen spirit, barely Master of Puppet and Suite-Pee from System of a Down.. so relatively easy songs.
Do you have some songs that you think could help improve myself?
Thanks

If we look at the history of Marxism-Leninism, Maoism or other forms of socialism, we see that it is above all adaptations of Marxist thought to the context and reality of the countries of their creator (the rural 1950 China, the 1917 Russian Empire etc). Similarly, other forms of socialism seem stronger in some countries (like Council in Germany or more libertarian socialism in Spain or Italy)
My question is should Marxism be adapted to each country at the risk of leading to deep divergences between the different socialist states?
