  • Not trying to downplay your arguments or anything, but it’s called critical support for a reason. Of course, different levels of critique are warranted for different situations depending on the nature of an anti-colonial or anti-capitalist movement, keyly if it is principled or not.

    For instance, support for Russia warrants an extremely large amount of critique due to it’s non-inherent revolutionary character. Russia, while we can still cheer their victories, will ultimately not lead the proletariat towards socialism, and thus, warrant a large amount of critique.

    China, on the other hand, has a far more legitimate and founded revolutionary character, which is why we critique it less. China has expressed interests and has lead endeavors to bring the proletariet closer to socialism, even if flawed, and thus, deserves more support and less critique.

    In this way, Burkina Faso is proving itself to be closer to Russia than it is to China. While it can always change, as everything can, Burkina Faso is positioning itself less as an inherently socialist country, but more so as a conditional opponent of US dominance, with the condition being sovereignty.

    The reason for this is the question of nationalism vs. socialism. While a third world nationalism is good for rallying support, it must be replaced by socialism upon gaining considerable power lest it indulge in moves like these.

    But, we lack a lot of information as to a key question - whether Ibrahim Traore considers his project a nationalist one or a socialist one utilizing nationalism. And to that, only time can tell. But for now, this action is a counter-revolutionary one, and as such, we must condemn solely this action, with continued support towards Burkina Faso’s anti-imperialist operations.



  • Feminists: Uhh… Hot take, I guess, maybe you shouldn’t portray all of your feminine characters as always horny lust demons?

    Rightists: pigmask-off ALL VIDEO GAMES MUST INCLUDE THE 14 WORDS. THIS IS NON-NEGOTIABLE.

    G*mers: same-picture

    Honestly, this makes me want to write an essay on the natural “moderate” nature of leftism and the natural “extremist” nature of rightism, as in the nature of humanitarians (catch-all term for leftists, primitive communists, whatever) to not immediately resort to violent action, contradictory to the nature of exploiters and oppressors to immediately resort to violent action. I know it doesn’t have any basis in modern-day politics as the contradictions are contradicting and even the leftists are justifiably angry, but it’d still be a good thing to analyze, I think.




  • waltuh We had a good thing, you [NONSTRATEGIC] son of a [GUN]! We had theory, we had praxis, we had everything we needed, and it all ran like clockwork! You could have shut your mouth, followed the theory, and made as much communism as you ever needed! It was perfect! But no! You just had to blow it up! You, and your pride and your ego! You just had to be the man! If you’d done your job, known your place, we’d all be fine right now! /j

    This is bad. I don’t wanna go super parasocial (yes, I have an extremey bad tendency to moralize people and inclination to parasocializing), but this sucks. /srs
