Why were French kids so into Maoism during the 60s?

Because Marxism in general was in and Marxist-Leninism-Maoism is one of the cooler marxist leninism branches.

50's and 60's brought anti-colonialism into minds of young Western students, and Maoism was basically a blueprint for third world nations to overthrow their colonial masters

Usually kids have a rebelious phase, you know.

Still haven't outgrown my own.

>>2513065
Marxist infiltration of academia. Not even memeing.

>>2513107
nice blog faggot

>>2513065
Those are kids?

>>2513121
or rather academia decided Marxism was the true path

Because it was the only "revolutionary" marxism left to them at the time.
Look at it this way, your choices were be last marxists in some socdem party doing boring politics, join the local soviet aligned party and do boring politics, or set up a maoist cell and try to make bombs.
You're a teen in welfare era europe. You're hot off more violent periods of european history, but now everything's boring. You want to bomb something, because cmon teens are stupid y'all remember being a teen. Maoism was the available ideology for kids who wanted to fuck shit up.
Same with the western appeal of extremist Islam, desu. Teens don't know theology, they don't know why they ought to fuck shit up, they want to fuck shit up and here's a doctrine that says they can fuck shit up.

>>2513123
Thanks.
But it was rather a poor blog. Why would this brand of communism be popular but other radical ideologies not?

Also for some reason all Maoists turned into ultra-liberal free market globalists in middle age. Every time.

>>2513084
How come all the hard lefties these days are plain old Marxist Leninists then?

You only hear about Maoism in the third world these days

>>2513087
I think this is the answer. France also had a long anticolonial history due to the wars in Algeria and Indochina in the 50s.

Did Maoist movements also exist in Portugal and the UK?

>>2513121
But why Maoism and not normal Marxism?

>>2513155
If the left gets edgier can we harness this again?

>>2513257
Starting in 1960 Mao wanted to distance himself from the USSR and vice versa. This was only a few years after Kruschev's "secret speech" which made Stalin's purges both a) public knowledge and b) against communist party policy. For communists in the West who had supported Stalin at the time, Kruschev's speech was a stick in their spokes. Many of them thought it was just capitalist propaganda. But by '68 it was pretty well decided Stalin was a right prick and if you wanted to be a communist you needed a new father-figure (as all communist movements need). Mao is just replacement-Stalin. The cycle happened all over again after the Cultural Revolution when western communists started jerking off Chavez

>>2513282
>jerking off to Chavez

And today Venezuela has unironic forced labor farms. Pretty hysterical watching commies once again suffer through shortages, hyper inflation and starvation.

Try telling the American college commies to go help their comrades in Venezuela lol

A bit part of it is urbanization. Maoism was a peasant or countryside philosophy.

Im not sure if what you say about them being Marxist leninists is exactly true either but I don't know what the current trends are.

>>2513087
>westerners agitated to make their countries less powerful

why are white people so stupid?

>>2513313
Pathological altruism and a belief that their racial universalism is reciprocated by hyper-ethnocentric groups like arabs and chinese.

Chinese never believed in universalism, one of the reasons for the mistrust that led to the sino-soviet split was the idea that whites were always imperialists and thus Stalin & co couldn't be trusted.

No such thing. Anyway Maosm and Trotskyism took root in the West specifically because they were anti Stalinist and anti colonialist.

>>2513264
Careful what you wish for, bruv. Maoism generally involves a bit of crazy. Ideology for kids wanting to fuck shit up usually does.

>>2513376
See:
>>2513328

Now, regarding Trotskyism. The idea of Trotsky as a foil to Stalin's authoritarianism is just a cheap rhetorical trick. Trotsky would have been far, far worse as premier of the SU than Stalin. Stalin was at least a pragmatist in some ways, Trotsky wanted constant and unceasing world revolution.

>>2513376
>no such thing
what about pre-bolshevik orthodox marxism

>>2513254
You remember reading the story about the UK guy who kept women locked up in his house? They started as a maoist cell in the 60s.
The guy was really off the deep end, the idea for his grouplet was that china was gonna invade the UK any day now and therefore it was his duty as a maoist to pave the way for them.

Maoism was the contemporaneous vanguard at the time.

Also it empowerd the young over the old (a horrible idea of course), which held appeal to french youth, Black Panthers (USA), etc. Maoism basically had the good fortune to pop at about the same time that "youth culture" in general (yes, even the capitalist forms such as American pop music) was beginning to pop in the mass media.

>>2513480

like when I gotta grab a pint with political buddies I know I can speak my stance without getting offed. The only time I ever had a problem was when I spoke badly of maoism and the local hoxhaist party leader stared daggers at me.

Chances are you've got some franchise out wherever you are looking to have a pint.
Since you're probably in a city of secondary importance, hit up the IWW. It's shit to do in a big city where lots of choices means that the only ones who join the IWW are straight up LARPers, but in mid sized cities out in the midwest and such they're usually the only ones out there, which means you meet a decent cross section of left wing political ideas, who are surprisingly fine with sharing a union.
I mean, you'll find at most 20 people, but hey that's 20 people you can drink and shoot political bants with. The only thing it'll cost you is like 5-10 bucks in monthly union dues and sometimes having to sit through boring meetings.

That pic is retarded. Socialism isn't about treating the working class as a group of infallible angels, but about devolving control of the economy from private hands to public ownership.

More importantly, Trump supporters aren't "the proletariat". Trump is a capitalist supported by much of the bourgeoisie. Some Trump voters are workers, but that's just because the alternative was a neoliberal ghoul who didn't even pretend to care about the working class.

It has not collapsed yet, though it probably will. part of the reason it will collapse is, as you may have guessed it, the inability to provide wages for labour worked. Or, as we're increasingly seeing with its monetary crisis, the inability of wages present to reflect the cost of goods.

Lies. Russia outproduced the U.S. in barrels of petroleum per day by 1900. They were at least as industrialized as America by then, and serfs had long been liberated. Had they not had the poor luck to lost 3 million troops in WW1, and the confidence of the military, the Romanovs would still be on the throne.

What the hell is SYNA? How is this tendency unique?

>>2513065
Student movement, the New Left, the influence of the Black Power/Black Panthers, decolonisation.

Maoism seemed to offer a more mass movement, decentralised, back to the land style communism than the heavily urban, industrial and rigid Marxist-Leninist model of the USSR and the Warsaw Pact

In practice, Maoism certainly was more decentralized than Stalinism. As essentially a populist twist on Marxism-Leninism, the will and the action of the masses was far more important than in the Soviet Union. The Mass Line ostensibly ensured that policy was chosen at the behest of the people at large, something pretty alien to the byzantine bureaucratic system of the Russians.

Maoism relies not on a strong central government, as existed in Russia, but on a massive cadre of communists eager to push for socialism. Mass politics exist in China today (the CCP still derives its legitimacy from the will of the masses), but certainly reached its height under Mao. The Cultural Revolution and Great Leap Forward were entirely contingent on the will of millions of Chinese people to follow the Chairman's guidance. Mobs rounded up members of the emergent bourgeois and students lynched their revisionist professors. Many entirely innocent people were caught up in this violence. Because China is such an unbelievably big country, the encouragement of such violence will lead to millions of deaths.

Bottom-up pressures played a big role in Stalin's purges too (check out Goldman, Terror and Democracy), when workers petitioned the government to have corrupt or brutal managers punished. However, the vast majority of executions were decided after internal investigations. Following Stalin's lead, the NKVD was very skeptical of the will of the masses and rarely killed somebody because of a petition. Usually, the unpopular boss would be forced to endure a miserable few years in the Gulag system or the petition would be ignored by the NKVD altogether.

However, this was a lot more bureaucratic. In the Stalinist purge, executions would be processed through the NKVD and the condemned would be quietly shot by a secret policeman, rather than being loudly and publicly lynched by a mob of communists totally outside any formal legal framework.

And people wonder why anti-"""intellectualism""" exists. If intellectualism means jerking off a failed ideology.

That's actually the Trotskyists. Trotskyism is pretty much commie globalism anyway, so it's easier to jump from it to capitalist globalism.

The only one I know that did that is Miguel Barroso

No surprise though, Leninism and all its deviations are social democracy at the barrel of a gun

>>2523877
why are Bretons so left wing?

SYNA is a Marxist Leninist organization that is kinda similar to the student organizations of the 70's

Still relatively new. Though they have published a book targeting the Berniecrats to pull them towards an ML line.

I haven't heard much of their specific tendency yet, beyond my friend saying how they've been working on it.

So the far-left is divided between bloodthirsty, edgy, revolutionary wannabees who want to unironically kill millions to produce a failed state and infantile utopians who never do anything other than argue theory?

>>2524212
Because they're a repressed minority.

Yes

Antonie Pannekoek, one of the main theorists of the anti-Leninist communists

Pannekoek means pancake in Dutch

yeah. la chinoise by godard. it's a criticism of maoism and student politics

>>2526418
I hear Pannekoek'd name constantly and assume he's related to council communism but I don't know what that is. Hell, I barely know Bordiga.

What are some good resources to learn about this? If it matters, I love Marxian analysis but I'm not convinced that the eradication of capital (rather than a simple transition to a socialist democratic economy) is necessary for emancipation.

It's a stereotype/cliche in France. Every politician loves to tell his stories about the barricades and how youth felt.
