This is not filipino government propaganda, this is propaganda from the revolutionary movement. So this is the “party” that is fighting against the things you’re mentioning.

My only point is that many people have name-dropped communism in history, and many of these people were counterrevolutionaries, reactionaries, utopians, liberals, social-democrats etc.

I don’t care that Lula thinks a communist is cool. I care whether Lula is communist, whether Lula belongs to a revolutionary communist party, whether the party is firmly linked with the masses and is actively fighting for the concerns of the masses — I could keep going but these things are not true. But yes it is true that Lula praised a communist. So did Pol Pot.

By Juche-style degrowth, do you mean a command economy? Socialism?

I’m not going to argue about things sorted out 200 years ago by Marx. Dig up Marx’s corpse and take it up with him.

And DemSocs are revisionists, so congrats.

You’re seeing the opinions of the western left, and in our countries our movements have only just been rebounding after decades of very harsh repression and propaganda, so it’ll take more time, struggle, and political development for people to see the difference between social democracy and revolutionary society. It is unfortunate, but for now, many will be captivated by the former.

Name-dropping communism astonishes you? Would Pol Pot astonish you?

What are you even saying?

Another big gripe is that social-democracy is just capitalism, and we are opposed to capitalism.

but that criticism doesn’t really hold up when you ARE the global south and it’s your resources getting plundered by imperialists

For the same reason, it doesn’t work to materially improve conditions for the 3rd world. The only solution is revolutionary socialism.

”The Palestinian cause is not a cause for Palestinians only, but a cause for every revolutionary, wherever he is, as a cause of the exploited and oppressed masses in our era.” —Ghassan Kanafani, Palestinian revolutionary

Edit: meant to reply to the person you’re replying to, just want to echo the point that Palestinians absolutely accept others advancing their struggle :)

Not to mention, the american revolution happened because the settlers wanted to keep their slaves, keep expanding their colonies and genociding indigenous people, and didn’t want to pay taxes on shit. And it’s permissible and noble for them to revolt under those conditions

Meanwhile it’s bad when Palestinians rise up when they have been refugees and ethnically cleansed for 75 years

Dude, WHY would you post something like this on the clearweb. You still have time to delete this

It helps, but does not determine the success of communist movements, nor should it be the primary factor in appraising whether a communist movement is near success. What should be analyzed, discussed, and improved, is the internal strength of the vanguard and its relationship to the masses. Because that is really what will determine whether a revolution happens, whether a party/movement can weather the storm of fascism, etc. Not the internal strength of BRICS…

The masses are the drivers of history, not the polarity of the world. Your faith should be in the masses, instead of Russia, BRICS, and geopolitics.

Federating was a mistake lmaooo

Your post is totally useless and needlessly hostile.
