I figured with all the talk about the People's Republic being abound, it would be a great time to pull this handy infograph out to help illustrate how a communist party functions in a socialist state.
Also FYI this is also - plus or minus details here and there - how the CPSU operated as well.
This is a great interactive guide for both newcomers unfamiliar with how communist parties in socialist states are organized and for educated Marxists who can use the opportunity to both brush up on old info in a shiny new form and help educate anyone with questions.
That said, for anyone new to hexbear's Marxism page, please don't be either annoying, pedantic, or a combination of the two. Productive and educational discussions good. Nitpicking sophistry bad.
Semper post.
Very good infographic tbh

Very nice for being able to organize people at the local level to actually do shit rather than sit around with a thumb up your ass

Honestly it's the best and worst part of being in a communist party is how structurally dry its run. Note-takers records of every meeting, when publicized, reveal how banal and tedious the work to build a functioning society really is makes me appreciate the red workaholics that make up the movement across the world.
i know, i listened to a translated version of a mid-level CPC meeting and it made my butthole pucker from how boring it was
the low level work looks very rewarding and fast reacting though, saw a similar meeting in a medium sized but poor town, had like 50 people in it, the council leader made mention that one of the sewer mains broke near some guys house, affecting maybe 2-3 families, and they immediately called a guy and all walked out of the building to make sure it was done immediately and showed up at their houses and oversaw the beginning of construction lmao. basically a communist party flash mob to fix infrastructure
It's a beautiful democracy I'd love to see, all the more beautiful in the fact it's real and achievable.
The tales left behind by the Soviets and the contemporary stories of the Chinese peoples are stories that aught to be more widely spread. From - I wish I archived this - the tale I read here years back about how a local Soviet pressured a foreman to tell his workaholic Miner to take his entitled days off and vacation instead of letting him work non-stop because the dude didn't feel like taking days off, to the tales of Chinese cadre being sent to the rural parts of China to help modernize and rebuild rural villages regardless of the cost.
