BUMP!

unions destroyed the east block, they arent holy.

Whatever issues you might have with deng (its mostly foreign policy), he made sure that the PRC was not destroyed in the 90s like most communist parties or states were. Yes even Cuba, Laos and Vietnam had to bend to pressure and do reforms. NK was the only one who didnt and got destroyed by sanctions which led to famine.

I heard someone comparing the western media’s downplay of the gaza famine (genocide) with the “ccp” downplaying the “man-made famines” under mao and I had to scream into a pillow. So much for touching grass.

Central Europe was originally a thing to imply that the Habsburgs and Hohenzollern realms are more “Asiatic despots” than the good and righteous western european democratic governments of France and the UK. The German Empire promoted this also because it meant they could do more “in your face” colonialism and clamp down harder on people wanting more political equality because Germany was not “western european”.

So its like twice the fools errand that the czechs and slovaks do. Worse is probably the Baltics thinking they are northern europeans because sweden colonized estonia or something.

They didnt lie, “never again” was “never real”. Three years after the gates of Auschwitz were opened, The nakba happened.

They had NO JEANS and BANANAS! This is literally worse than death!

I remember this weird theory by one of the geopolitics neo-zeihanian people that because northern china historically has a wheat-based diet so they are closer to westerners (individualists and love capitalism) and responsible for the modern chinese economic development than southern china which is more “collective” and “shame based”, which has a rice-based diet and is closer in nature to Japan and Vietnam.

Could be by accident. I remember I once accidentally downvoted something and only realized it once I searched through my history.

Bump!

he whole country comes off like a scheme for rich Maronite Christians collaborators to endlessly profit off their little theifdom, but the fact that Muslim Lebanese buy into it as well is crazy.

The Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate was literally created just for the maronites on pressure of the west (especially france) with the Règlement Organique. They actually couldnt be a vivable state so they later begged the french to expand their statelet. Similar to Ukraine, Jordan and Austria, its national identity is very bourgeoisie and exists to shield only small oligarchic sects. I guess most of population only bought in as a reaction of the Syrian invasion. (Not to dismiss hezbollah or anything)

Its a joint venture of DIE LINKE

They collect donations, not just monetary ones, on pg 26 is like a method to contact them. Of course only if you live like in Berlin. You can also just give them money directly - on pg 29

Literally landlordism but make it Legation Quarter style

Its important to highlight the slander and continuous violence brought against them. The one-sided aggression.

NK is the legitimate successor of the Korean People’s Republic, the south was literally the americans putting their own citizen and japanese collaborators on the throne. North Korea has a protestant presence since its foundation.

Bring attention to the continuous crimes committed against NK, despite north koreans NEVER having attacked the west. The Nuclear bombs on Japan killed 22k korean slave labourers. One in seven nuclear bombing victims in Hiroshima was of korean descent.

The US partook in the Jeju massacre killing up to 100k people, South Korea killed 200k communists causing NK to invade, the us then killed 25% of NK population and destroyed 75% of its infrastructure.

The north lacked agricultural lands (historically located in the south or china’s dongbei region) and so is very food insecure and needs petroleum agricultural machinery and imports from Russia to nourish itself. The collapse of the soviet union and america’s sanction on oil imports (as well as sabotaging NK agriculture by paying saboteurs to cut off the tails of laboring animals), caused massive starvation. Modern UN sanctions have also “violated” their own standards and had an adverse effect on the populace.

They loved to trout out people like him to “prove” inherent antisemitism of the left.

Many of the new left movement were trapped in idealist thought patters and it never managed to translate into a mass social movement. Most of them became part of the greens (proving the trotskyist to neocon pipeline). The german autumn led to pro-zionism becoming rampant in the defanged left and the creation of the “Radical Decree”, which banned public officials (yes even teachers) from holding “extremist” views until the 90s, a soft form active in all most all federal states to this day. Notably Bavaria, known for its strict policing measures, usage of palantir and general annoyingness.

Reddit was purged of communists starting with the closure of r/chapo and r/genzedong. What remains are those deemed non-threatening.

What can communist streamers/content creators do to improve on these issues?

They mean people like Hasan/Deprogram. Not like ml theory reading streams. The former have like a million strong audience and make “big bucks”. the latter don’t.

Akshually dinos were colorful feathered beasts and I will not accept any slander.

The last part is poignant. Struggle sessions are supposed to led to introspective and leaning. Not “hot takes” and “gotcha” meant to increase social capital “prestige” for those with the “right ideas”.

Lowkey Prolewiki is kinda bare. Especially the african states are kinda meh. Maybe I will try on working on that.
