It’s never been more obvious that this is all a puppet show. And they hate that it’s obvious. Look at how fast the two “opposing sides” (lol) join hands when it comes to something that has to do with war or crushing labor strikes. The rest of the time it’s terminal gridlock, posturing, and ostentatious displays of feigned aggression. And it all just so happens to line up perfectly with the will of the bourgeoisie.
Fascism takes root because of deep socio-economic capitalist crisis, not because of anomalous mentalities of individuals. Fascists are dealt with by dealing with the sections of the bourgeoisie that fielded them, ie. by a revolution that addresses that which gives cause to fascism, ie. capitalism.

“Marxism-Leninism” is an invention of Stalin’s camp and is a complete distortion of Marx, Engels, and Lenin.

The article correctly points out that there are umpteen million different types of “Marxist-Leninist”. This is why.
The article mentions Left-Communists, but doesn’t go into detail into who they are. They were one of the few groups to prognosticate the trajectory of the USSR when it became apparent that opportunistic collaboration with the international bourgeoisie was going to be the order of the day. This opposition is laid out in their Lyons Theses, here. They were kicked out of the comintern for sticking to their principles and criticizing the new political line put out by Stalin’s new party. They still exist in the form of the ICP.
Lenin never put forward the notion that Russia could be socialist without successful revolutions in Europe. He was aware of Russia’s backwardness and that a successful socialist revolution could only occur as a result of a working-class struggle against capital in a fully developed capitalist country.
