    Yeah, and that’s why Marxism = socialism. Same with Maoism, Stalinism, Trotsky, Gramsci, etc. saying “but Marxism isn’t socialism” is WAY different than saying “it’s only a type of socialism” and I don’t understand why you’d try to lie about what you said when it’s right there.

    If it’s not socialism then what is ML ?

      Marxism is not equal to socialism, because marxism is a type of socialism. They’re not synonyms.

      I reworded my first comment to avoid confusion.

      And Marxism-Leninism is not the same as Marxism, but it is still a type of socialism (but a different type)

        Talking to tankies can cause brain damage. Do yourself a favor and disregard their cultist ideology their ignorance and their bad faith anti-intellectual dogma.

        lol no Marxism is socialist theory. Quit being pedantic. That means it IS socialism. Just one type still means it is socialism. And ML having differences from just Marxism doesn’t make it not socialism. I really don’t understand your argument and I don’t really care enough to.

        If you consider yourself socialist you have to read Marx and Lenin at some point, same with Trotsky and Stalin. Etc. does no good to separate 2 parts of a whole, if that makes sense.
