Marxism-Leninism is a set of ideas that holds up even in the modern day, but I have personally lost faith that the masses of the United States can achieve such a system partially due to their own resistance but also because they are too individualistic and misinformed to produce good results as long as the United States has a democratic system of government where every citizen has a say. Congress and the US government has elected officials that are anti-vaxers, flat earthers, anti-science or generally pro-Israel zionist cultists. I believe in a non-democratic approach where experts will be consulted for policy decisions and the masses can be protected from all the political decisions they support.

Obviously, this makes me unqualified to be the leader of Marxist-Leninist communities since a technocracy is a markedly different ideological strain. I have not abandoned Marxism or revolutionary thought, but it is time for me to retire as the leader of the communities I currently manage. I hope some comrades will research this new ideology that I consider to be especially applicable to a society such as the United States, and which can create a form of socialism and scientific government even in the midst of a generally reactionary and non-cooperative primitive society that would not be able to benefit from socialism otherwise.

Veganism is the idea generally that humans should do their best to live without animal products. Some may ideologically believe animals deserve complete autonomy and separation from humans, while some may believe that in the society we currently live in, there is no ethical way to consume animal products because modern factory farming is egregiously brutal. In the United States, animals are sadistically tortured in the name of science or animal products. They are cut open, have parts amputated while alive, or are force fed to the point they are obese and their legs break. Many comrades would agree that animals are an exploited form of life, even if they cannot be called a class since they are unable to articulate their experiences or a class identity.

One of the largest issues with veganism is the extremist mentalities of some participants on the internet. There are stories of vegans being put into positions where they have nothing to eat but eggs, such as in a hospital setting. They receive death threats or harassment, which is more likely to make them leave the lifestyle. It also seems to reflect neoliberal ideas where everything is blamed on the individual regardless of material conditions that caused them to go against their diet such as lack of availability or economic reasons out of their control. In the third world where people do not have the privilege to always choose vegan or vegetarian meals, they need to eat meat to meet their food requirements. This is rejected by vegans in the first world and a person would be demonized by some people for not having a completely pure diet, making them less likely to become vegan and continue down the path of reducing animal harm.

As an Ecomaoist, I do not personally believe that humans and animals must be segregated and exist completely independently of each other. Animals such as sheep or cows are actually good for the environment, make good companions, neighbors, and can be shepherded around to maintain the environment through their grazing and manure patterns. Secondary products such as their milk or their fur could also be harvested humanely in such a situation, which would fix the ethical dilemma associated with such products. Modern factory farming is not only wrong for the torture animals are put through, but the animals in factories are not able to help improve their local environment through grazing and spreading of manure. This contributes to desertification and the loss of minerals from the environment over time. In a situation where animal cruelty is not a problem, a vegan lifestyle can still be beneficial for the planet and efficiency of the world’s resources for feeding the population.

When the tigers used to smoke, there was a small tribe deep in the forests of what is now the United Kingdom. They were extremely remote and had no neighbors except for some fairies. They lived peacefully alongside them for decades, until one day some malicious fairies realized they had become a lot stronger than the humans, and began kidnapping them as well as inflicting other cruelties on the human tribe. They called upon the god of the moon, and he sang a song that caused a flaming meteor of iron to fall from the sky and in the forest near the tribe. They found the meteor and turned it into iron.

They used the iron to make armor, and this protected them from evil fairies although it was not enough. The God of Fear And Hunger noticed what was going on, and told them the secret of iron. Iron was able to kill the fairies, and when told this they made metal rods they used to beat down the evil fairies that came to kidnap them or kill them. They bashed the heads of countless evil fairies. Most were out of defense, but some were in anger which caused the fairies to move to another dimension away from humanity.
