TOPIC: On Division

In case you weren't aware Marxist revolutionaries are being stamped out at Sanctum Zone.

There is a revisionist campaign underway by the in crowd led by andyh and mikeymikey to paint our exiled comrade Mike as a NeoConservative.

Communications are thin on the ground as the purges are currently underway.

Contradiction and struggle are universal and absolute, but the methods of resolving contradictions, that is, the forms of struggle, differ according to the differences in the nature of the contradictions. Some contradictions are characterized by open antagonism and others are not. In accordance with the concrete development of things, some contradictions, which were originally non-antagonistic, develop into antagonistic ones, while others which were originally antagonistic develop into non-antagonistic ones.

Opposition and struggle between ideas of different kinds constantly occur within the internetz; this is a reflection within the internetz of contradictions between classes and between the new and the old in society.

If there were no contradictions in the Sanctum Zone and no ideological struggles to resolve them, the Zone's life itself would come to an end after fading into obscure irrelevance.

Inner-internet community criticism is a weapon for strengthening the communities organization and increasing its fighting capacity. In the Sanctum Zone, however, criticism is not always of this character, and sometimes turns into personal attack. As a result, it damages the organization as well as individuals.

This is a manifestation of petty-bourgeois individualism. The method of correction is to help Sanctum members understand that the purpose of criticism is to increase the Sanctum's fighting capacity in order to achieve victory in the class struggle, it should not be used as a means of personal attack.

Letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend is still correct. Truth emerges out of struggle with error. Beauty emerges out of comparison with and struggle with ugliness. Good deeds and good people emerge out of comparison with and struggle with evil deeds and evil people. Fragrant flowers emerge from the comparison with and struggle with poisonous weeds. Materialism emerges out of the comparison with and struggle with idealism.

To prohibit people from coming into contact with ugliness, error and criticism is a very dangerous policy. It would cause people’s thinking to deteriorate and ossify; it would make them one-sided and incapable of facing the world or meeting the challenge of a rival show.
