Parenti sure but Sartre wasn’t a Marxist-Leninist he was a ‘libertarian marxist’ and not in the Rossa Luxemburg Council Communism tradition’s use of that term, he’s extremely heterodox given a favourable view on his attempts to critique classic Marxism with his own phenomenology, and anti-marxist giving a less favourable reading
Probably a good idea in the future to read both panels of an image before jumping in uniformed
The OP is about how liberals react to public housing built in the USSR: with horror
Meanwhile their own political/economic system does not even attempt to supply all those in need with housing, and leaves its citizens to rot in tent camps or with even less shelter, exposing clear double standards and hypocrisy

The USSR also ‘paperclipped’ some Nazis for their scientific knowledge, do you know what they didn’t do, that the US did? give them lives of luxury and:
Put a high ranking Nazi slaver in charge of a government agency(Wernher von Braun & NASA) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun#Slave_labor
Make a Nazi High Command General their main source for the history of the eastern front(Franz Halder & the US Army Historical Division, the origin of the ‘Clean Wehrmacht’ and ‘Soviet Human Wave attacks’ myths)
As the Cold War progressed, the military intelligence provided by the German section of the US Army Historical Division became increasingly important to the Americans.[62] Halder oversaw the German section of the research program which became known as the “Halder Group”.[63] His group produced over 2,500 major historical manuscripts from over 700 distinct German authors detailing World War II.[58] Halder used the group to reinvent war-time history using truth, half-truth, distortion and lies.[59] He set up a “control group” of trusted former Nazi officers who vetted all the manuscripts and, if necessary, required authors to change their content.

Install a Nazi High Command General as Chairman of the military alliance they’re the dominant power in(Adolf Heusinger & NATO)
He served as the Operations Chief within the general staff of the High Command of the German Army in the Wehrmacht from 1938 to 1944
In April 1961, he was appointed Chairman of the NATO Military Committee[6] in Washington, DC

‘The unmitigated gall of these [redacted]s not to bow and scrape before OBE holder and world’s greatest author Joanne Rowling’ - that’s you, that’s how you sound
merely that most recent ones have been directed at things meant for entertainment and personal use.
Most are, the Sugar Boycott surprisingly boycotted sugar(a good for personal use) produced by slavery, the Boycott against South Africa boycotted buying goods(for personal use) from South African companies, and included artists refusing to play gigs there and criticism of artists that did, sometime leading to them losing gigs elsewhere like Laura Branigan who lost bookings in the US after playing in SA(entertainment)
An angry billionaire tweeting their evil bullshit can be, but isn’t perceived as such by the general populace enough to avoid purchasing a game licensed from them.
After Kanye West’s anti-semitic tweets, a boycott of his brands like Yeezy began e.g. His branded Adidas shoes(personal use), his music(entertainment)
Eventually leading to many companies cutting their ties(endorsements, appearances at festivals, selling of ‘Yeezy’ licensed goods etc) with him, this led to him losing his Billionaire status(he’s now worth ‘just’ $400 million according to forbes, so perhaps not a ‘total victory’, but seeing Joanne have a similar reduction in wealth and mainstream reputation would lead me to seeing it as a successful boycott),
this shows people can and will get inspired to boycott the licensed products of a billionaire if they tweet some bigoted shit
The Montgomery Bus Boycott led to desegregation of the transit system there and helped ignite further civil rights causes, marches, protests etc(although it’s still not a complete process the US still discriminating against its Black population)
The Sugar boycott led to the fall of several sugar firms and eventually led to Britain abolishing slavery
The Boycott against Apartheid South Africa led to several south-african companies going bankrupt and eventually to the fall of apartheid
And most pertinent to this discussion as it was against a single person and their revenue streams the origin of the term ‘boycott’: the shunning of Charles Boycott by Irish people, leading to massive social and political reputational loss, forcing him to flee Ireland
Not to say that boycotting a single show(or all media based on her IP) to harm the profits of a single bigot is quite comparable to ending the triangle trade or South African Apartheid, as said it more like the (successful)Boycott of Charles Boycott. Anyway to say their haven’t been successfully boycotts is ahistorical
Japan are worse on WWII denialism than Finland
Blaming millions of of working class people in the democratic base over the small amount of policymakers in the DNC leadership. Who chose to run to the right on almost every issue in an attempt to gain the votes of the mythical ‘moderate conservatives’.
Including supporting a genocide unpopular with the public as a whole(Poll from March 27, 2024: https://news.gallup.com/poll/642695/majority-disapprove-israeli-action-gaza.aspx and the numbers were even higher when you selected for people more inclined to vote for the democrats) which would obviously suppress voter turnout among their left-leaning base
The DNC being beholden to their Megadonors and PACs over the working class base, and running on a triangylated center-right platform instead of on policy that would materially benefit the base at the expense of the Megadonors profits Is how we actually got here
You can’t browbeat people working 40+ hours a week living paycheck to paycheck to the polls, with ‘lesser evilism’ and asking them to swallow their morality to vote for a party directly arming genocidaires,
the DNC needs to radically change their platform leftwards to energise the base to get out the vote even if it’s at the expense of a fraction of their Megadonor’s profits if they actually want to win
They’re fine as long as they aren’t in the US, doesn’t even need to be somewhere like China or Russia, can’t be extradited on civil case(although they could probably refile locally if they live in a vassal state)
Even if it was audited it’d be other pigs doing it
Can you see data up/down? be interesting to know(or get more confirmation) if its sending ‘large’ media like audio files, and not just polling for e.g. ad flags, available updates etc
How is it a strawman? Liberals will and do vote for a party operating the foreign child crusher, if that party has more decorum and civility that the other party that would operate the foreign child crusher
If we’re going to talk about copying, paper and gunpowder were invented in China so I think the balance of who’s copying who’s tech is in China’s favour
Which viable party in the duopoly isn’t controlled by Oligarchs?
Conservative’s in the US are also economic liberals: pro-capitalism, anti-regulation
Several small scale exoduses of niche communities, leaving the corporate behomth with a miniscule loss in userbase that is quickly recouped?

It’s subjective view, personally I would call Marxism-Leninism an extension of Marx’s Marxism rather than a rejection, their main difference being that Marx predicted that Socialist revolution would begin at the in the most advanced capitalist nations(such as Britain and France and the time both were writing) Leninism emphasizes the particular role imperialism plays alongside global capitalism, and thus that revolution may begin in a society such as the Tsarist Russia Empire which while capitalist in many respects still retained many feudal characteristics, which according to your own views on the socialist character of the October revolution, August Revolution etc has been proven correct
