Imo: Reactionaries always admire the barbarism that the rulers were capable of in feudal times and the trope of "everything will get better with the right leader in place" appeals to the idealism of liberals.
Of course!
My opinion stems mostly from talking with some comrades about the DKP. The only real experience with them is what I have read from their official program, I never met any of them personally.
In their party program they mostly just quote Marx and Lenin, which seems correct at first. However, this culminates in basic errors like proclaiming that we need to "strengthen the unions", while it is a fact that most german workers unions are not working for the proletariat, or are even controlled by bourgeois-aligned socdems (at best).
So any principled communist would analyze the situation and come to the conclusion that we first need to reclaim our unions in the first place! Strengthening, or supporting them now would be idiotic. So that is just lazy at best and revisionist at worst.
This, through working with them in a united front, could be forgiven (on the condition that they, through combined action admit and learn from this).
But most comrades I've spoken to that met them (e.g.: were a member or worked with them in the past) told me they are mostly just old people that have gotten really dogmatic, lots of them turning to revisionism (hence me calling them Trozkyites, maybe a bit crude on my side).
KO (=Kommunistische Organisation) were mostly active online, though I've only once seen two people waving their flag at a local demonstration. Only seen some of their anti-China content. They have recently founded the KP (=Kommunistische Partei, duh), but it remains to be seen what they actually do.
German comrade (Genosse) here,
MLPD is definitely a psy-op / fed thingy, 100%
DKP is mostly some old Trotzkytes as far as I've heard
There is a movement "Arbeiterbündnis für den Wiederaufbau der KPD" they are solid MLs and MLMs
Technically there is also the newly formed KP, founded by members of KO, don't know much about them, seeing as they are brand new
And the old FDJ is fairly active, having gained more and more members recently
Coincidentally I did have an IRL conversation with an older comrade about this topic (I've been a vegan for 5 1/2 years now) and she told me to read a passage from Engels that he wrote about vegetarians (the part played by labour in the transition from ape to man) in dialectics of nature.
Thinking that I couldn't be the first to be a vegan communist to read this, I found this great blog: https://medium.com/@lilligroeneveld/challenging-friedrich-engels-about-veganism-2c17f303a269
Great read, basically sums up all the same thoughts I had and then some!
I feel the exact same way, but never had sex myself. Our world really revolves around and plays up the importance of this. Maybe because we are so alienated by capitalism? This warrants some looking into.
Not at all, they will gleefully talk about how they hope for a second "Nuremberg trials" for Russia and talk endlessly about how this shows how much of "Stalin's legacy" remains in Putin
Nothing I can do there
I feel the exact same way, always lose my excitement to learn new things when somebody tells me to listen about it on some podcast, huge turnoff
Happy Birthday comrade and a successfull struggle to you!
real
O7 We thank you for your service comrade!

Because you lost (?) this war in foreign lands, your entire country should cease to exist.
This post is for beginners as well as seasoned Dungeon Crawlers alike!
Feel free to comment your own recommendations and/or experiences with mine.
Without further ado, let's begin!
RPG using the PbtA (Powered by the Apocalypse) System about a group of everyday people fighting an unjust regime by whatever means you can think of! Recommended for intermediate and advanced players, not impossible for beginners, but it requires a Game Master who is very good at improvising.
Branch-off of the famous DnD modernised! This is without a doubt the best classic fantasy-RPG experience you can get, easy to play with almost endless costumization for your unique character! Recommended for everyone to at least play once!
"Retrofuture Cyberpunk" sound weird the first time you hear this but it makes sense trust me! If you know the cyberpunk genre you may know what's here: Style over Substance, cool prosthetics and every edgy adjective you can come up with. Except that in this RPG you try to get the community together to fight the capitalist system that brought you to this point! Earning money by doing under-payed gig-jobs in daylight, buying weapons and tools and then foiling the plans of your bosses by night! Same as comrades it uses the PbtA system, but this game is more focused on actually building and sustaining the community than Comrades, but it's your game, blow it all to high hell if you want! Recommended for intermediate players because of the system and all the rules for prosthetics.
Ever played Persona (especially 5)? Wished there was a TTRPG like that? Many tried and failed, but this one is very good! Again utilizing the PbtA system (can you tell that I like it?) this game tries to capture the spirit of the latest persona game: a group of teenagers or young adults (animal mascot or robot too) become aware of a growing evil that gives its subordinates unimaginable power and wealth by oppressing the populace, awaken to their powers and decide to use them to fight back against the system! The game very much focuses on interpersonal relationships of the player characters and how it helps/effects or hinders their rebellion. Recommended for beginners and people who never played PbtA before because of it's cool Tutorial system.
I have many more, but this post is getting too long, maybe I'll make more if you like these? Only time can tell...
Checked it out, no posts, no description. Why should I join? What is it for? Isn't this technically redundant because we got c/agitprop already?
