Marxism-Leninism-Lulism

Marxism-Leninism-Lulism, also MLL, is a Marxist-Leninist ideology that unites the theories and policies of Marxism-Leninism with the praxis of Lulism. Marxism-Leninism-Lulism was an ideology proposed by Brazilian Marxist-Leninists pro-PT and pro-Lula after the coup attempt on January 8, 2023. Marxism-Leninism-Lulism is characterized by defending the total socialization of the state and of the economy. As well as defending cultural pluralism, religious pluralism, ethnic pluralism, and the idea that the state should have recognition and moderate control over ethnic, religious, and cultural issues. Just as the state and the economy must be controlled by popular councils. As well as the defense of the world revolution and the creation of the USSR, USSR 2.0, and the Socialist World Republic through democratic, reformist, civil, and diplomatic channels. Marxism-Leninism-Lulism also advocates the idea of multiple official languages, and Marxism-Leninism-Lulism is regarded as a form of 21st century socialism and 21st century Marxism. Marxism-Leninism-Lulism also seeks to build socialism and communism with the help of all workers. As well as the need for technological, economic, social, scientific, cultural, religious, spiritual, and divine development for the construction of socialism and preservation of socialism for all eternity, also known as socialist eternalism and socialist techno-eternalism.

"Marxism-Leninism-Lulism also advocates that Lula must turn Brazil into a socialist democracy and turn Brazil into a socialist republic."

"I defend Marxism-Leninism-Lulism and the PT's socialist democracy, especially after the coup of January 8, 2023."

MAGA Marxism

"MAGA Marxism" is a term used to refer to left-wing individuals, or those supposedly left-wing, who claim to support Marxism, Socialism, Communism, Social Democracy, Liberal Democracy, and similar ideologies, but support Donald Trump and hold exactly the same political, social, economic, cultural, religious, scientific, and dark Enlightenment views as Donald Trump.

The term "MAGA Left" is also used to refer to these same groups more broadly.

The term comes from the English "MAGA Communism," which refers to communists/socialists who defend the same agendas as Donald Trump, differing only on economic issues and the issue of communism/socialism.

MAGA Marxism, as well as MAGA Leftism, has been growing significantly in Brazil in recent months and years.

MAGA Marxism goes hand in hand with NATO Marxism, or NATO Leftism, which refers to left-wing or supposedly left-wing groups that unconditionally support NATO, the US Democratic Party unconditionally, and defend Liberal Democracy and The Economist's Democracy Index as true dogmas, and almost always hold the same geopolitical views as the MAGA left.

NATO Marxism

NATO Marxism is a term used to refer to left-wing, or supposedly left-wing, individuals who claim to support Marxism, Socialism, Communism, and revolutionary left-wing ideologies, but support NATO, Kamala Harris, Zelensky, anti-communist Eastern European politicians and laws, and pro-Western regimes, and hold exactly the same political, social, economic, cultural, religious, scientific, and geopolitical views as the US Democratic Party.

The term NATO Left is also used to refer to these same groups more broadly.

The term comes from the English "NATO Communism," which refers to communists/socialists who defend the same agendas as the US Democratic Party, differing only on economic issues and the issue of communism/socialism.

NATO Marxism goes hand in hand with MAGA Marxism, or MAGA Left, which refers to left-wing or supposedly left-wing groups that unconditionally support Donald Trump, the Trumpist wings of the US Republican Party unconditionally, and defend the US Empire and the claim of Fascism as a non-orthodox Marxist ideology as true dogmas, and almost always hold the same geopolitical views as the MAGA left.

Sustainable Development Marxism

A theoretical synthesis that applies Marxist analysis to the contradictions of sustainable development under capitalism. It argues that the dominant "green growth" paradigm is an oxymoron: you cannot have infinite accumulation on a finite planet. Sustainable Development Marxism exposes how corporate sustainability initiatives function as accumulation by sequestration—privatizing the atmosphere through carbon markets, commodifying ecosystem services, and greenwashing extraction. Yet it moves beyond critique to construct a positive program: democratic planning of production for genuine human need, the decommodification of nature, and the reduction of the working day as the ultimate environmental policy. It insists that ecological sustainability is impossible without socialism, and socialism is impossible without ecological consciousness.

Sustainable Development Marxism *Example: A Sustainable Development Marxist analyzes a corporation's "net zero by 2050" pledge. They note the reliance on unproven carbon capture technology, the offshoring of emissions to the Global South, and the continued expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure. They contrast this with a vision of publicly owned, democratically controlled renewable energy grids; free, high-quality public transit; and a planned transition that guarantees employment and retraining for displaced fossil workers. The former is sustainability as public relations; the latter is sustainability as class struggle.*

21st Century Marxism

A living, evolving theoretical tradition that applies Marx's method to the specific material conditions of the contemporary moment: digital monopoly capitalism, the climate crisis, the platform economy, and the resurgence of neofascism. It rejects the notion that Marxism is a relic of the 19th century, frozen in the pages of Capital, and instead treats it as a toolkit for diagnosing the present. 21st Century Marxism analyzes how Big Tech extracts data as a new form of primitive accumulation; how social media algorithms proletarianize attention; how the military-entertainment complex colonizes consciousness; and how the post-2008 world has normalized precarity as a permanent condition. It also delivers a devastating verdict on the contemporary right: that neoliberalism has exhausted its reformist facade and is decaying openly into neofascism, with the thin veneer of liberal democracy cracking across the Global North.

21st Century Marxism *Example: A 21st Century Marxist examines TikTok. They don't moralize about screen time. They analyze the platform as a digital factory: users perform unpaid labor generating content and data, which is algorithmically sorted and sold to advertisers. The "For You Page" is not entertainment; it is a continuous workflow. The dopamine hits are not pleasure; they are piece-rate wages. The theory further notes that this digital factory coexists with the resurgence of open white supremacy, seeing both as symptoms of a capitalism that can no longer stabilize itself through reform.*

Third Millennium Marxism

An extension of 21st Century Marxism with a civilizational timescale. It shifts the analytical horizon from quarterly earnings reports and election cycles to the survival of the human species and the planetary ecosystem over the next thousand years. Third Millennium Marxism confronts the long-term contradictions of capitalism: that a system predicated on endless growth will inevitably collide with thermodynamic limits; that technological "fixes" for climate change (geoengineering, space colonization) are themselves capitalist fantasies of escaping responsibility; that without a fundamental reorganization of production and consumption, ecological collapse is not a prediction but a certainty. It integrates the UN Sustainable Development Goals into a Marxist framework, not as aspirational targets to be met within capitalism, but as a checklist of capitalism's failures and a blueprint for what a post-capitalist society must achieve. It is Marxism with its eyes on the horizon, planning the centuries-long transition to a society of substantive equality and ecological balance.

Third Millennium Marxism Example: A Third Millennium Marxist evaluates a proposal for solar geoengineering. They note that it addresses the symptom (rising temperatures) while leaving the cause (capitalist production relations) untouched. They argue that such technologies concentrate unprecedented power over the global climate in the hands of whoever controls the sulfur-spraying aircraft—likely states or corporations with no democratic accountability. Their alternative is not a technological fix but a political transformation: global democratic planning for rapid decarbonization, the restoration of ecosystems, and the radical reduction of energy consumption in the Global North. This is a project not for the next quarter but for the next century—and the century after that.

Business Development Marxism

A pragmatic, non-dogmatic current that seeks to deploy Marxist analysis as a competitive advantage within capitalist enterprises. It sounds like an oxymoron—Marxism as a management tool—but its proponents argue that understanding surplus value extraction makes you a better operations manager; that grasping the contradictions of labor exploitation helps you design more resilient supply chains; that recognizing the alienation inherent in Taylorist work organization allows you to build more cohesive, innovative teams. Business Development Marxism does not pretend that consulting for a corporation is revolutionary praxis. It is, rather, a strategic compromise: use the tools of the master to improve conditions within the house, build worker power, and perhaps, over the long term, lay the foundations for something else. It is Gramsci's "war of position" fought in boardrooms and R&D departments.

Business Development Marxism Example: A Business Development Marxist works as a product manager at a logistics startup. She uses Marx's distinction between concrete and abstract labor to reframe the company's efficiency metrics: instead of optimizing solely for speed (abstract labor time), she advocates for metrics that capture skill development, worker autonomy, and job satisfaction (concrete labor quality). She introduces co-determination practices in her team, arguing that flat hierarchies reduce turnover and increase innovation. She does not call this socialism; she calls it "agile management." Her colleagues think she's an excellent executive. She is, in her own estimation, a mole.
