You said you wanted to have a discussion but you’re making crass your mom jokes when i ask a legitimate question about who wrote a manifesto that you’re promoting?
Thank you for actually answering. I assume, then, that Paul K is someone that you are working with to start the ACP (Maoist)?
So something I find really interesting is that Comrade Paul Kingsley, “one of the greatest Marxists-Leninists-Maoists in the United States” is a student who just turned 18 this year and last year he had to take a break from posting online because of “parental suppression.”
What do you think a state PPW championship would look like? I’m imagining something like Takeshi’s castle but with red imagery and crass and irreverent commentary in the style of MXC most extreme eliminations (Takeshi castle but dubbed over by Americans saying wild shit. Like obvs drop the racism, sexism, etc. But c’mon “Here’s Fred Kaczynsky, the Email bomber!” dude fails to stick the landing and goes into the water “Fred, You Got Jailed!” Is just of shitposting commentary.)
You cannot be great in theory while being devoid of practice. You claim to be forming a party, a student will not have had the time to commit to serious practice. This kind of hubris is dogmatism, whole-cloth.
Then they cannot test theory to practice, and thus fall into traps of idealism. Theory informs practice, and practice confirms or denies theory. This cycle is repeated over and over, sharpening theory and practice against each other. Without the other, each is dull. Take it from Mao:
The method of studying the social sciences exclusively from the book is likewise extremely dangerous and may even lead one onto the road of counter-revolution. Clear proof of this is provided by the fact that whole batches of Chinese Communists who confined themselves to books in their study of the social sciences have turned into counter-revolutionaries. When we say Marxism is correct, it is certainly not because Marx was a “prophet” but because his theory has been proved correct in our practice and in our struggle. We need Marxism in our struggle. In our acceptance of his theory no such formalization of mystical notion as that of “prophecy” ever enters our minds. Many who have read Marxist books have become renegades from the revolution, whereas illiterate workers often grasp Marxism very well. Of course we should study Marxist books, but this study must be integrated with our country’s actual conditions. We need books, but we must overcome book worship, which is divorced from the actual situation.
Good for you! Take it as a lesson in humility, and stop calling yourselves the “greatest Marxist-Leninist-Maoist minds in the US.” Without practice, you are duller than unformed clay. Joining an org is arguably the first step, theory comes second, as usually more experienced cadres can help teach you and correct your errors.

Fuck it. Paul K. wrote it. Who is that? One of the greatest Marxists–Leninists–Maoists in the United States.

Joining the high school Maoism club in hopes of getting a spot in the starting vanguard at the state PPW championship

On the junior varsity vanguard but hoping I can make state
He is truly a man beyond his years.

Nice gate-keeping. What if somebody lives in a conservative area where organizing is difficult? What if they read literally dozens of Marxist works?
Then they cannot test theory to practice, and thus fall into traps of idealism. Theory informs practice, and practice confirms or denies theory. This cycle is repeated over and over, sharpening theory and practice against each other. Without the other, each is dull. Take it from Mao:
Oppose Book Worship (emphasis mine)
That’s why it’s best to join a party, even if that means starting a book club as the basis and growing organically from there.
It is quite fortunate I am starting a book club in my local town.
