Too bad CPGB-ML holds TERF views last I checked, and the revolution report website hosts some anti-lgbtq articles. I wouldn't be comfortable sharing this link with most people.
I thought I was the only one getting weird vibes from the Revolution Report. I’m not going to call them magacoms or patsocs, but they seem to be relatively close to them, if that makes sense.
Edit: just read this article on their site and…. damn that sucks. Hate to see fellow communists so vehemently opposed to your existence.
Yes, they are essentially aligned with the views of the bulk of Russian communists, which comes with a fair amount of reactionary baggage.
That article was very sad to read. Unfortunately it is not unusual for communists outside of the West to hold reactionary views on gender and sexuality. I get the impression that is becoming a growing divide between communists in the West and communists in the East (with a minority of dissenters on each side).
This is very problematic because it is causing a schism to the point where MLs on one side will refuse to listen to or engage with MLs on the other side over this issue. One side calls the other liberal and degenerate, the other responds by labeling them patsocs and fascists and all dialogue gets shut down. I see it here too - whenever any content comes up from people who have had the label patsoc attached to them it provokes a kneejerk reaction and immediate rejection almost regardless of the actual content. The other side often acts similarly.
And is hard to see how a solution to this can be found because someone who is themselves LGBT or has LGBT comrades and friends whom they care about will find it virtually impossible to compromise with someone who rejects the very validity of the existence of LGBT people. Yet often the only way for people to unlearn such deeply culturally embedded prejudices is to interact with and to grow through shared struggle to have close personal attachments to the people they hold those prejudices against, creating a contradiction that hopefully will be resolved by discarding those prejudicial beliefs.
Yeah... They have a lot of based stuff, but unfortunately they also have that and climate change denial bullshit. One of their main editors (Slava the Socialist) made a video on their YouTube channel titled something akin to "How Capitalism abuses Science" or something... Where (under the veil of "the West uses green agenda for their advantage") they spewed absolute climate denialist nonsense, to the degree of "hey, if you boil water - molecules get excited, but then they dissipate heat and cool down, just like CO2 molecules, thus climate change is not real" and "just plant more trees!"
That's either having some awful takes on it, or I'm sensing they are at least somewhat affiliated with Russian circles, ML and non-ML (KPRF, for example, holds similar views on climate change and lgbt+ liberation)
I believe they are at least close to the Russian government because at least one of their reporters (the main guy, can’t remember his name) was able to go to the DPRK due to a Russian affiliated press pass or something like that.
Yeah, I think his name is Donald Courier. It's stated on ProleWiki that he has dual Russian and US citizenship. He also appeared numerous times on RT. And, I mean, it does not automatically mean a person is uncritically supportive of Russia, but I do get the vibes he isn't as impartial as he claims to be in his videos.
