Thoreauvian Marxism-Leninism

A shortened version of the above, emphasising the fusion of Thoreau’s individual ethical defiance with the structural analysis and revolutionary goals of Marxism‑Leninism. It rejects the caricature of Marxism‑Leninism as merely statist or authoritarian, reinterpreting it through the lens of voluntary simplicity, non‑cooperation with evil, and the building of counter‑institutions. It is a tendency within left‑libertarian and eco‑Marxist circles.

Thoreauvian Marxism-Leninism Example: “They weren’t just anti‑capitalist; they were Thoreauvian Marxism‑Leninists, believing that personal lifestyle changes and collective expropriation must go hand in hand.”
