It is not asinine at all. It is true that labour organizers get assassinated in the Global South but this is done with the help of the imperialists. Just take a look at the history of fascists dictatorships in latin america to see this unfold.

With this in mind, places where the imperialist influence is currently weak show a fertile ground for socialist revolutions and this is actively happening in the Global South.

It does explain why people can’t organize two generations later in the imperial core and exhibit all of the characteristics within the Red Sails article. Hell, it even explains why some if not most communist parties in the global north lack any revolutionary spirit and are just reduced to some socdem party(example Communist Party of Japan).

The cointelpro program never died but evolved to disturb popular movements and organization at this moment. The red scare lives on. However, fortunately, all of this doesn’t apply to the same extent for the Global South.

Seems like you haven’t read what happened with the Black Panther’s leadership.

In case you are interested in reading the context behind MarxMadness comment, you can search for the COINTELPRO program, which aimed to “expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize” groups like the Black Panthers.

Besides this, I found some questionable stuff regarding his views on the Tamil -> https://www.tamilguardian.com/content/anura-kumara-dissanayake-declared-sri-lankan-president

I am still looking to see if I can find more information about this but this is certainly a red flag also.

Bro iran is sending missiles to russia so russia can send those missiles at Ukrainian civilians. And the ccp is committing a genocide against its own minorities.

Ok, I found this: https://president.gov.by/en/gosudarstvo/citizen-participation/state-and-local-assemblies

However, going to check if there is something as the redsails articles of China.

I also found the Belarusian People’s congress -> https://president.gov.by/en/gosudarstvo/citizen-participation/state-and-local-assemblies/all-belarusian-peoples

The Belarusian People’s Congress is the highest representative body of people’s power of the Republic of Belarus, which determines the strategic areas of development of society and the state, ensures the inviolability of the constitutional system, the continuity of generations, and civil accord. https://president.gov.by/en/gosudarstvo/citizen-participation/state-and-local-assemblies/all-belarusian-peoples

Depending on the country that you are currently located, the answer could vary. In any Arab countries or in the global south, it is easier to find choices but if you are located in the imperial core choices are limited or nonexistent.

Thank you! You are awesome!

What is the name of this book? 👀

This is a very interesting read. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and it makes sense that criticism has to be practical and productive.

I just stay in reddit but for niche subs such as tech, homesteading, aquaponics, manga, ArchitecturalRevival and some others. However, for news and engaging, I prefer Lemmygrad 100x more than reddit.

Doing this makes my life happier as I stopped reading and combatting scummy chuds in Reddit(I hide any popular sub and click the “shower fewer posts like this” to feed to the algo).

Wow! This is a great read! Thanks for sharing!

Can you link those videos? That will help me in the near future where I have to talk this stuff with my daughter.

Edit. A small ping @VeganicTankie@lemmygrad.ml

The troll level of this post is too damn high

TL DW A lying loser that favors the far right by telling westerners with right wing tendencies to be scared of the “commies”. This interview was sent to me by a Canadian liberal ☠️

Ok, found some info!

El ruido de las cosas al caer – Juan Gabriel Vásquez

Some writing from Gabriel García Márquez are good

Also, as my comrade told me, this is about Marxism in Colombia -> https://repositorio.unal.edu.co/handle/unal/53470 It has a great historical analysis.

ProleWiki posted the following about the Shining Path: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Library:The_CIA's_Shining_Path:_Political_Warfare

About the brutal role of imperialism in Latin America, you can find valuable information in the following books:

Dark Alliance: Movie Tie-In Edition: The CIA, the Contras, and the Crack Cocaine Explosion - Gary Webb

Killing Hope: Us Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II - William Blum

Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent - Eduardo Galeano

The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man - John Perkins

As for a book that talks specifically about Colombia, I have none that I can recall. However, I will check with some Colombian comrades to see if I can find any books that could help you with your investigation.
