What exactly drove me to become a Marxist-Leninist?

This is a common question that I am asked by people and I have no better way to answer it than this; living under Capitalism and experiencing this depraved society in which I am living in. By this, I mean by gaining experiences such as working for a Capitalist and being exploited by wage labour and seeing things being produced only if there is a profit to be made and then distributed to those who can pay for them. My interest in politics, in particular, had begun when I was studying my GCSEs back in years 10 and 11, one of those GCSE subjects was history. Funnily enough, one of the modules in GCSE history was about the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 in Russia and that is what kick started my obsession with the Soviet Union and Slavic culture.

My interest in politics, however, really kicked off when I started working for the very first time when I was a 16-year-old as a catering assistant before I asked to be transferred to the cleaning department after a year and a half in the catering team. At the time when I had started working, I had begun to question why the world around me was the way that it is. I started asking myself "why is life like this?" This was compounded by the fact that I was also appalled at the conditions that my fellow workers in the kitchen were being put through while working for an incompetent and an arrogant manager.

Yet, funnily enough, when I was on YouTube just mucking about and watching gaming videos, on my recommendations section, I came across an audio book and that audio book, would you believe it, was "The Communist Manifesto" by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Of course, at the time, I had heard of Communism because of GCSE history, but I didn't exactly know what it was, if you know what I mean? I didn't fully understand it. Nonetheless, once I began listening to the recording of someone reading "The Communist Manifesto", the book covered a lot of topics like historical materialism, the development of the Capitalist system from Feudalism, the exploitation of the working class by the bourgeoisie and also class struggles through the history of human societies from the days of slavery all the way up to full Communism.

No word of a lie, that audio book I listened to really did answer a lot, if not all of the questions that I had about the world around me. What led me to become the Marxist-Leninist that I am today was looking at and understanding the contributions of Vladimir Lenin with his analysis of imperialism being the highest stage of Capitalism, as well as his solutions and profound theoretical insights to the national question and the peasant question. Understanding the foundations that Marx and Engels built to create scientific Socialism, then the contributions of Lenin to Marxism to develop it into Marxism-Leninism and then the historical legacy of Marxism-Leninism when it was put into action by Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union and then the spreading of Socialism from the USSR to China, the DPRK, Vietnam, Laos and Cuba, is what has made me the person I am today. It wasn't until very recently that I have been looking into the contributions of Mao Tse Tung as well.

Why Do I Make YouTube Videos?

Another common question that I get asked is why I upload YouTube videos. The best answer that I can give for that question is that I make and upload YouTube videos for the purpose of informing people and I like to see the impact that the videos I make have on the people who watch them, particularly young people. The young comrades will repeat the legacy of great thinkers and revolutionaries and for that, I salute them.

Why Marxism-Leninism?

Marxism-Leninism is the most scientific form of modern leftism. Marxism-Leninism combines the economics and the theoretical side of Marxism with the practicality and the militancy of Leninism. Vladimir Lenin, who had developed Marxism into a more modern form of Socialism; Marxism-Leninism, had upgraded Marxism but still made his new theories of Leninism; imperialism being the highest stage of Capitalism, as well as organisational tactics like democratic centralism and vanguardism, while still keeping his new theories fully compatible with the tenets of Marxism. Other 'leftist' ideologies have not been able to make their theories compatible with each other, they tend to have a leftist dialect with a bourgeois outlook. For example, Anarcho-Communism combines the utopian ideas of Kropotkin with the individualist ideas of Proudhon. Titoism combines Socialist planning with a market economy. All other 'leftist' ideologies have not offered a viable alternative to Marxism-Leninism.

Why do you defend Joseph Stalin?

Joseph Stalin was, and also still is, the great leader of the international working class movement. If you read the works of Marx, Engels and Lenin, you would be able to see this. Even if you read some of Stalin's works like "The Foundations of Leninism", you will be able to see this. If you also look at the historical context alongside the context of the works of these great thinkers and revolutionaries, you will also be able to see this. Just look at the great achievements that the Soviet Union had accomplished under the leadership of Joseph Stalin, such as industrialising the country to a point where the Soviet industrial model where the workers were in control over the means of production became the pride and joy of the working people all over the world, as well as the victory of the Soviet Red Army over Nazi Germany in World War Two; an event to which humanity owes a great deal of gratitude. The Soviet Union also witnessed a number of sabotage attempts under the leadership of Joseph Stalin, some of which include the Kulak sabotage in the 1930s, which were a group of rich peasants that made up of landlords who were openly opposed to the working people being in power and having agriculture collectivised. On top of that, there was also sabotage by the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists, who were close collaborators with Nazi Germany and were fighting alongside the Wermacht and the Waffen SS during the Second World War. There was also sabotage attempts coming from inside the Soviet government too, especially from the NKVD, which had started to become quite corrupt and had begun filling up with opportunists and Nazi collaborators. Therefore, these criminals had to be dealt with by the Soviet state, which they rightly were and I fully defend that.

Why do you support North Korea? Isn't the population starving?

I support the Democratic People's Republic of Korea because it is the best example of modern Socialism that we have right now in the 21st century. The people of the DPRK live happily, however, ever since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, they have had a very difficult period because their trade relations were with the Soviet Union and , of course, China. As we all understand, the Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991. However, what is not so well understood is that ever since then, a huge amount of the DPRK's trade has been interrupted. The DPRK's trade is hindered, the DPRK's banking is hindered and the country has to deal with all of that, whilst at the same time, the DPRK is being threatened by US imperialism across the border in South Korea and all across the Asian Pacific.

The notion that the population of the DPRK is starving is very common. As well as this, another common notion about the DPRK that actually contradicts the first one simply states that the people of the DPRK are all forced to eat soil and grass. This leaves us with a big question; which one is it? Is the population of the DPRK starving, or are they all forced to eat soil and grass? The answer is neither. Usually, numbers do vary in terms of how many people are supposedly starving. This is possibly due to the fact that this notion is a lie that has been made up in order to make us hate the DPRK. However, by using statistical data and common sense, we can prove that there is probably nobody who is starving in the DPRK.

It is very important to understand that there was a famine in the DPRK (emphasis on the word "was"). After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the fact that the DPRK relied so heavily on food and general aid from other Socialist countries, particularly the Soviet Union; also the fact that only 21% of the DPRK's land is arable, and also the fact that the DPRK is a very mountainous country, meant that the country had experienced a very unexpected drop in imports that they used to feed their people. Therefore, it is not very wise or honest to blame the DPRK's government for the famine if it was caused by a combination of bad geography and unexpected economic conditions. The estimate concerning the death toll of this famine was around 3 million between 1994 and 1998.

To this day, there are people who will claim to you that the population of the DPRK is still starving, and to that I say; nonsense! That claim is based solely on imperialist propaganda. Ever since the DPRK stopped publishing in detail economic statistics around 50 years ago, it has become increasingly difficult to determine exactly how much food is in the country and whether there is enough food to feed around 23 million people. However, since the DPRK's biggest trading partner is now China, I think it is safe to say that the population of the DPRK is not starving.
