    I disagree that Roderic here is trying to alienate and dived. I see criticism that must be taken into account discussion of discipline among communists and what is to be done is not Left deviation-ism. In the first tweet Roderic is referring to the fact that the building of the vanguard party should be the objective of the communists and that the discussion’s around other method’s should be subordinated to that goal. Although his American comment is perhaps uncharitable I can see that. The second tweet is more controversial I suppose Roderic expected more of a higher standard of discussion out of this forum then he observed (since it is dominated by communists) As this forum is not explicitly a Marxists theory board I do not share in his disappointment as much.

    If Lenin were alive today all his arguments against Kautsky ,Martov, Plekhanov Kropotkin or anyone would be just “newspaper slap fights” which is what he and other Marxists including Marx himself were accused of back in there day. The internet is the modern day newspapers the modern day public forum of course it should be treated with seriousness if we believe that the cause we are advancing is serious. https://www.neac.gov.cn/seac/c103372/202201/1156517.shtml

    "Forming a consensus is no easy task, and so we all need to work harder. To attain our goals, we will need to form concentric circles both online and offline. What do I mean by concentric circles? I mean rallying all the people of China under the leadership of the CPC, and motivating people of all walks of life to engage in a concerted effort to bring about the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

    The ancients used to say, "The person that knows a leaking roof is the one who is under that roof; the person that knows an error of the court is the one who is not in power."1 If netizens are the “grassroots”, as many of them refer to themselves, then the internet is today’s “grassroots” platform. Netizens are members of the general public. If members of the public go online, so does public opinion. Our officials need to go wherever the public goes, otherwise how else are they expected to maintain ties with them? "

    We absolutely must challenge each other as much as possible https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-2/mswv2_03.htm “To let things slide for the sake of peace and friendship when a person has clearly gone wrong, and refrain from principled argument because he is an old acquaintance, a fellow townsman, a schoolmate, a close friend, a loved one, an old colleague or old subordinate. Or to touch on the matter lightly instead of going into it thoroughly, so as to keep on good terms. The result is that both the organization and the individual are harmed. This is one type of liberalism”. As Marxists we must push ourselves and each to come to a better understanding of the current conditions of our time through dialectical materialism and rigorous criticism of our suppositions lest we be make mistakes that can be avoided. This is why studying is important it always us to argue and together come to the correct conclusion that we then act upon.
