Yeah as we can see Rojava is a state and as far as states go imo doesn’t deserve undying support. My solidarity lies with the people of the region in their struggle against imperialism, not in the leadership’s ideals and use of authority.

For questions about the vanguard and why socialism is a better proven model both politically and economically I recommend State and Revolution by Lenin.

If you would be curious what decentralization looks like under a Socialist state, this video explains Vietnam’s recent government restructure to allow for more self-regional control in it progression towards communism and the “withering away” of the state.

Here’s an article with an analysis on Rojava that shows its not a good, real life, counter point.

Its because anarchism isn’t seen as a valid threat or opposition to the US empire and because of it’s ineffectiveness against capitalism, the CIA/FBI can use the promotion of anarchism to split the left, silence revolutionary activity, and attack Marxist-Leninism, an actual working ideology. People that claim to be anarchists who take it upon themselves either in real life or online to bash “tankies”, AES states, etc are doing the current state’s work for free.

red fascists

Deeply unserious term and proves my point lmao

Don’t forget Laos!

The meme isn’t trying to say “eveyone is bad.” It’s showing the hypocrisy of liberals when they make up and believe false bad things about AES states but simp for their country when their country actually does those same things. For example when westerns cry “China is imperialist” (reading about China’s socio-economic system would show that’s not true) but ignore/support their country actually exploiting the Global South.

Tell that to Malcolm X, MLK, or Fred Hampton

Obviously that’s not ok either and I don’t support the US

Once I learned about the nazis in Ukraine’s government I stopped supporting them, its that simple.

The changes were not my intention it was because either some books came in the mail before others or I missed a couple in the beginning lol. Books I read along with it aren’t ML specifically but still share some of the ideas they were “Feminism is for Everyone” by Bell Hooks, “Confronting Fascism” by Various authors, “Discourse on the Origin of Inequality” by JJ Rosseau, and “Are Prison’s Obselete?” by Angela Davis. So far I’m only like half way through the original list with also lots of reading on Prolewiki, Red sails, and what people are saying on here.

Currently going through your original reading list with a minimal order change and a few other books added, appreciate the new update!

Hmm I wonder why Hong Kong specifically would have a concerning suicide rate

Also Association > Competition

While the US empire is crumbling, China has the Global South covered.

Libs reaction to Operation Gladio: “I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see that”

People who call themselves “leftists” but have never supported any AES states 🤦‍♂️

I stand behind this version lol

Not sure how my comment got deleted but this was the original:

People who view the USSR against Germany in WWII as imperialism hasn’t viewed history correctly. The nazis invaded with the goal to exterminate the Soviets and conquer their land. The Soviets had to fight back.

I know its only a film but Come and See is a horrifying and haunting retelling of these events.
