[REQUEST] What type of Marxist am I?
Author Summary

Post Body

I believe in a soviet style government, but with an AI centrally planned economy which would make the economy more efficient. Preventing the shortages and mismanagement that was seen in the old USSR. I would also like to incorporate worker co-ops into a planned economy. But limit them to the production of luxury goods and non-essential businesses, while all essential business is done directly by the government. I believe every successful socialist state needs to export the revolution abroad, as socialist states can never be safe as long as capitalism is the dominant political ideology. So socialist countries like China need to use whatever means reasonably available to spark communist revolutions in countries like Bangladesh and other third-world countries to liberate them from capitalist exploitation.

I also identify as an internationalist, and condemn the imperialism of Russia as much as I do the United States. I support Ukraine, Cuba, Palestine, Venezuela, Kurdistan, Nicaragua, and Yemen in their struggles. While I do support Ukraine over the Russian ultranationalists, I am critical of Zelensky's move to ban left-wing parties in Ukraine. I also criticize China for failing to live up to it's Marxist ideals. As China has high levels of wealth inequality, and is too cozy to western multinational corporations which exploit the working class of China. Likewise, I also dislike the government of North Korea as I see them as more fascistic, cult-like, and a very feudalistic society where the proletariat has very few rights or control over the means of production. Which is also a betrayal of Marx's ideals.

I admire Leon Trotsky, Che Guevara, Mao Zedong, and Vladimir Lenin for their contributions to Marxist theory. I don't like Stalin because of his poorer implementation of rapid industrialization, which Trotsky came up with originally and would have done better, his stance of Socialism in one country, and Stalin's alienation and unnecessary purge of Ukrainian Marxists. Furthermore, I am also an environmentalist, and believe environmentalism is an essential part of any Marxist revolution. I also support a hybrid approach to implementing Marxism. We should keep reform, and revolution on the table depending on the political conditions of one's country. The best thing a developing country can do to achieve a strong socialist economy is rapid industrialization after saving up a surplus of food to prevent famines while converting to an industrial society from an agrarian one. Skipping over the need for a capitalist stage for industrialization. In extreme circumstances, where there are strong reactionary forces working in a country, a Maoist style cultural revolution might be necessary to make a country more suitable to Marxism.
