Politics In Command

Politics In Command

Politics In Command (POLICOM) is a podcast based on anti-revisionist Marxism. Revisionism, in the Marxist sense, is the invalid modification of a correct principle of the science of revolution, aka Marxism. In other words, all those who oppose the science of revolution while still carrying the name "Marxist" are Revisionist - and there are plenty in the world today who need to be exposed. Revisionists wave the red flag in order to bring down the red flag. All ideas have a material basis. In a class-divided society (and world), all ideas can be traced back to a particular class of said society. This is Politics In Command. The political line is everything.
