    I think it’s one of those weasel words some leftists use so they can ignore their own hypocrisy while they moralize like the evangelical Christians they were raised as.

      So you don’t know what it means.

      Critical support means supporting AES countries against the capitalist hegemon despite still having criticisms of some of their decisions. I don’t have to think every single decision they make is perfect because I don’t moralize about my politics.

      What you’re talking about is dogmatism, i.e. taking uncritical moral positions and then denouncing any deviation. Mao harshly criticized this in On Contradiction and On Practice.

        No decision can ever be perfect, is my point.

        taking uncritical moral positions and then denouncing any deviation

        Lol I’ve been to Hexbear and old chapo chat, I have no idea how you can say this with a straight face.

        Mao harshly criticized this in On Contradiction and On Practice.

        Cool, was that before or after struggle sessions were implemented in China?

          Okay, that’s about following the Party line and the strategy of democratic centralism. What the Party decides is what the membership must respect and uphold.

          I am not a member of the Communist Party of China. They wouldn’t want me anyway lol
