Maoist being not welcomed any more.

Why is that? It’s not so long aho that a maoist uprising defeated the absolute monarchy in Nepal. What has become of them?

And do you also know about the differences between CPN (UML) en the maoists?

Try to prevent that from happening by not engaging in talks about politics with them. It’s hard to convince your family, harder than convincing anyone else perhaps, try not to lose them by engaging in a futile activity.

Strange. I’d love to retire already lmao

On top of everything which is said already I just want to add: my personal experience with old people is that they become very stuborn. (Anyone trying to tell an older relative that it’s time to move to an assisted living situation can probably confirm that.) So I guess that once those those politicians cross a certain age-treshold, you can never, ever convince them anymore that they’re no longer the right person for the job, especially not if you’re trying to argue that their age is the problem.

He’s so shocked and horrified that someone has won an election on a socialdemocratic platform that he can’t put his fears in to words anymore. He was so used to Chuck Schumer being “the left” that this moment comes across to him like the Weather Underground or the Rote Armee Fraction has taken power in NYC.

For now. When you first build your local bastions, you can later start playing a national role. All large, national movements which we know from history are build on the local organising of unknown and unsung comrades.

It’s not just about removing that quantity, it’s about removing controll of those large oil deposits from a non-US-vassal state, which is willing to sell in other currencies then dollar and thus weakens the modern form of tribute which the world pays the US be needing dollars to buy oil and thus making the entire world compete to sell goods to the US in exchange for green paper which it can just print.

Thought it speaks for itself. Iran is hampered by reformists liberalism and their tendency to trust the West, so this might be an interesting internal development.

Obviously the editorial line is in favour of English millionaires, but the political line they believe in doesn’t imply that they are wrong on verifiable facts. (In other words: don’t trust their spin, but their reporting can still have value.)

I’m on hexbear, I’m also attacking myself then.

It’s a joke about the stress we’re dealing with when trying to make sense of a complicated issue we spend a lot of time on and the quickly oscillating emotional states we’ve all felt.

That’s nice to hear.

It’s obviously a non-serious remark, there’s no reason to feel attacked.

Do they still exist (in a meaningfull way)? I remember a veeeery long time ago they had a bunch of their cadres arrested under terrorism charges after doing fundraising for the PFLP.

I really love their pamphlet Some Points on the Mass Line, everyone should read it.

Better analysis than most of the doomers here.

What exactly is the Chinese plan for overthrowing imperialism? And can you elaborate on Iran refusing help from China?

Given that Symour Hersch’s predictions so far have come true, I tend to believe his sources. That means that we are now in the initial fases of regime change, which implies a total war.

Some even end up getting off without charges too because Elbit refuses to show up in court.

That’s strange. Why wouldn’t Elbit show up? on’t they want those protesters locked up? What do they have to lose by showing up?

China has been Indonesia’s largest trading partner since 2005, 20 consecutive years. That in on itself suggests something more going underneath the surface.

That says a lot about the efficiency of China, it doesn’t say much about Indonesia. Half the world has China as their biggest trading partner, that doesn’t make all of them anti-colonial.

For Indonesia, decolonization has been part of our daily life, we have been doing it every day, in all aspects of life, economics, education, technology and sociocultural. The Western domination is everywhere and we fight it every day. (…) For Indonesia, decolonization is not just an agenda to look for truth, it is much bigger than that. To be an independent country we have to turn away from the Western guidance and get back what the colonizers took from us.

The current president of Indonesia is the son of a minister in the genocidal regime of Soeharto and he married the daughter of Soeharto. He also actively participated in the East-Timor genocide and the Truth and Reconciliating Comission of East-Timor said that he played a very significant role in the genocide in their country. He personally commanded the unit that shot the marxist and anti-colonial president of East-Timor Nicolau Lobato, which led him bleed to death. He also participated in the abduction of children in East-Timor, to be raised by families in Indonedia.

I just really have a hard time believing that this regime is anti-colonial in any meaningfull way.
