  • He’s mentioned several times in the past that he believes that the USA was the one who imposed the “evil Communist dictatorships” abroad like North Korea. I could not figure out for the life of me how on Earth he ever reached this blatantly ahistorical conclusion.

    I suppose that could be true in the sense that the US imposed themselves on the peninsula to prevent it being unified under a communist dotp, instead relegating them to the just north half of the peninsula while the burger regime turns the south half into its puppet. Even then, my last sentence was a big stretch.



  • If you dont even know that a country that explicitly does not call itself communist, even socialist, that arose from the illegal dismantling of the nominally socialist nation that preceded it, is very obviously not communist, then what the fuck do you know about communism. why are you running your mouth about how people who subscribe to these tendencies aren’t real communists when you clearly don’t know jack shit about the revolutionary struggles of the oppressed peoples who developed these schools of thought in their fight to throw off the shackles of colonizers and imperialist oppressors??

    You know what they say in the little red, white, and blue book: no investigation, obligation to speak.


  • The screenshot isn’t even talking about theory vs practice. The real life non-theory “practice” they recommend is simply being on the receiving end of booj state violence, starvation, being overworked, etc. This is not the same as organizing a strike, organizing a party, going to protests, and other stuff that actually is practice. That suffering may help one embed themself into a community or workplace they want to organize and motivate them to destroy capitalism, but it hasn’t prevented many oppressed people becoming anticommunists regardless (see the other thread on this post about poor Brazilian gig workers still ending up as Bolsanaro supporting chuds).
