    Marxist-Leninism is NOT communism/socialism in general. that’s Stalin’s term for his own personal politics, or as the rest of us know it, Stalinism. the use of that word is an intentional trick to convince people who don’t know its origins or its specifics it’s something it isn’t

      Yea that’s what I’m saying lol, ML is more of an authoritarian flavor OF communism/socialism, and the thing people hate the most. Marx’s part alone is decent, but then Lenin bastardized it and then later Stalin bastardized it even more
