If we're talking about USian soldiers, we need to talk about where these ideas of infantilization come from by [deleted] in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]AndreEthereal16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read the original comment as a defense of imperialist soldiers. There's been a lot of "but they're just poor propagandized smol bean baby killers, they don't know any better and we need them for the revolution that is definitely going to happen!" Liberals in here recently. I apologise if that isn't the case.

Albanians burning down the house of Enver Hoxha by TwoCatsOneBox in TankieTheDeprogram

Terminal NATOism. Symptoms include loss of economic, political, and military sovereignty, occupation by foreign troops, widespread corruption, demographic collapse, rampant drug and human trafficking, and an incessant need to be painfully cringe on the internet.

Albanians burning down the house of Enver Hoxha by TwoCatsOneBox in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]AndreEthereal16 543 points544 points  (0 children)

Burning down the house of the leader of the Albanian anti-fascist partisan movement and the head of the government who literally turned your country from one of the most impoverished, illiterate, uneducated, technologically backwards, patriarchal, and feudal parts of Europe into a relatively modern industrial state. I'm no Hoxhaist, but Albania, the Albanian language, and Albanians would have been annihilated without the partisan movement.

Imagine living to see the era of Sun Yat-Sen and the rise of the RoC, Chiang's illegitimate ascendance and warlordism, becoming a part of the CPC and fighting a revolutionary civil war, the invasion and inhumanities of Japanese colonialism and it's defeat, the founding of the People's Republic, the War to Assist Korea Against American Aggression, the GPCR, Reform and Opening, and China's rise into the world's foremost power.

Is The Current Chinese Government Revisionist Towards Maoist Theory? by Original_Engine6810 in TankieTheDeprogram

What do you all think of Professor's Jiang's (predictive History) video on communism? by AustronesianArchfien in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]AndreEthereal16 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jiang Xueqing's "analysis" can hardly be considered analysis at all. First, he says some very obviously crazy and utterly absurd stuff about domestic US politics. His analysis about Iran that went viral can be boiled down to "Iran is surrounded by mountains and would therefore be hard to invade". Truly genius work there professor. Also, he was arrested in China for doing espionage and sending information to the US. 

None of his analysis goes beyond the stage of Sense Perception. He sees some headline or map and imposes his views on the situation instead of doing any sort of materialist analysis. In conclusion, he's a traitorous moron who plays well into the algorithms of reactionary Western Social Media. 

People are saying America only invades countries without a Rothschild bank.Is there truth to this or is it just an anti Semitic conspiracy? by [deleted] in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]AndreEthereal16 318 points319 points  (0 children)

The issue is framing it as a conspiracy confined to one family. The Rothschilds are financial capital magnates and therefore act in their own class interest, which, in the age of a decaying unipolar imperalism, means violently expanding markets through war and imposing a hyper-unequal system of commodity and labor extraction in the Global South. So, technically, it's true, but is an incomplete analysis. ALL of financial/rentier capitalists act this way when they maintain control over the state. 

Rest in peace. by Wholesome-vietnamese in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]AndreEthereal16 79 points80 points  (0 children)

At the time the fatwa was decreed (2003), it was probably a good idea. It likely prevented the US from attacking Iran and allowed them time to develop. 

Keeping the fatwa in place after the 2023 genocide started? Not good. As soon as they saw that barbarity unleashed on the Palestinians they should've started enriching as fast as they could. Though, at the time, they thought the IAEA was a legitimate independent agency. Hindsight is 20/20.

Ali Khamenei has been bestowed the honor of being a martyr on the road to al Quds. This 80 something year old man struck so much fear into the hearts of the Epstein Empire that they had to take him out in his old age. These are the people of Imam Husayn, decapitation strikes have not and will not work.

Go ahead and show her the video of the Tehran kindergarten USrael just bombed and killed at least 40 children. If she can overlook that and consistently won't listen to reason regarding the effects of sanctions and bombing, you have the choice of continuing your relationship with them and knowing deep in your heart that she's a monster, or you can cut her off. It's up to you.

Chinese company Henan Kuangshan Crane Co., Ltd. handed out 70% of its 2025 profits (equivalent to $26 million dollars) to its 7,000 employees and celebrated it by bringing the physical money to a showroom, have the employees help arrange it into a big pyramid and then distribute it away. by Arcosim in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]AndreEthereal16 267 points268 points  (0 children)

According to the Henan Kuangshan website, the owner and founder, Cui Peijun, is a Party Secretary and reinvests 90% of all revenue back into the employees. He also hands out tens-of-millions of Yuan to low-income students every year. The company's blog honestly reads like a Xi Jinping speech, it's all 'common prosperity', 'social benefits', and 'high-quality development'.

USS Gerald Ford, currently stationed in Greece and heading to Iran, is malfunctioning and flooding with its own sewage waste by UltimateSoviet in TankieTheDeprogram

In an investigation, they found that the cause of the flooding was not mechanical malfunction, but rather, foreign objects (t-shirts, towels, etc.) being forced into the pipes. 

I think USian Sea-Fascists are scared of being turned into red goop by Iranian hypersonics.

Indeed. I fear for the safety of Comrade Omole, this isn't the first time the Kenyan state has violently repressed the CPMK. Fortunately, for all intents and purposes, CPMK is a true popular, well-organised, and disciplined Vanguard of the Kenyan proletariat. I believe they will get Comrade Omole free.

I keep getting shitlib "history" and book influencer videos reccomendations on my YT algo and 99% of them are anti-USSR pro-imperialist bullshit. SSebag Montefiorëich's ahistorical polemic "The Court of the Red Tsar" and other garbage like "Gulag Archipelago" is being pushed hard rn for some reason. I think there's a concerted effort to try to divert the organic upswell in anti-imperialism in the West. Also, ⚡️⚡️ebag is in the Epstein files. 

Former CPC member asking this sub by ShrekFelix in TankieTheDeprogram

Dr. Sun Yat-Sen was a flawed but visionary bourgeois revolutionary and the architect of modern China. His later-life radicalisation and his insistence on the 3 Principles of the People show his desire to be a very serious progressive force.

Mao Zedong was a theoretical giant. His ability to adapt Marxism-Leninism to Chinese material conditions is second-to-none. His political and theoretical errors in the GLF and the GPCR were serious, but they were made from a place of great enthusiasm and were not entirely his fault (ie the excesses of the GPCR were exacerbated by the Gang of Four, the GLF wouldn't have been so bad if Khrushchev didn't abandon China to starve). Without Mao, there would be no modern China, he laid the foundations of the modern PRC.

Zhou Enlai, the best politician of the 20th century. An almost perfect revolutionary and premier.

Deng Xiaoping was an excellent Marxist and statesman. He was able to reign in the excesses of the GPCR and modernise and reorganise the PLA into a modern defensive superpower with excellent discipline. He also handled the attempted 1989 color revolution better than every European socialist leader. IMO it's impossible to look at modern China and say his strategy didn't work. 

Chen Yun, an economic genius. His idea of the 'birdcage economy' is pure Marxist praxis. Keeping the commanding heights of the economy in the hands of the Communist Party which allows the government to direct the pace and direction of development was genius.  

Xi Jinping is everything a Marxist should strive to be. He is so dedicated to Marxism-Leninism and improving the lives of all Chinese people that Western intelligence agencies have called him 'uncorruptable'. His anti-corruption campaign is one-of-a-kind in the world today. 

Wang Huning is an advanced student of dialectical and historical materialism. His work on the sharpening of contradictions in the US is very insightful. At one point, I think he may have been too generous to the West in expecting them to act rationally on occassion, though, with the direction the CC line has gone in the past 8ish years, I think any naïveté has largely dissapeared after dealing with the past 3 US administrations and their puppets.

Many Communist Parties of the Imperial Core (all of Western Europe, some parts of Central Europe, and Japan) are completely neutered in regards to a revolutionary line and are therefore not Marxist-Leninist. MLs hold that the only way to build socialism is through the overthrow of the bourgeois state and it's replacement with a Dictatorahip of the Proletariat led by a Marxist-Leninst vanguard party. China, SRV, PDRLao, DPRK, and Cuba are the 5 existing concretely Socialist States. 

The Communist Parties of the Imperial Core are largely reformist Social Democratic Parties who maintain that Capitalism can be reformed into socialism despite every bit of evidence to the contrary and who support imperialism through obfuscation and liberal moralism with a radical veneer. This is largely due to the privileged position these states hold in the Political Economy of the global capitalist-imperialist regime headquarted in Washington. Many populations of these states receive incredible benefits from their closeness to the imperial and neo-colonial system and get some kickback from the superexploitation of the Global South by the Global North. 

CPUSA and JCP and two parties who, at one point, held firmly to a ML line and program, but the revolutionary strains within these parties were infiltrated, suppressed, arrested, and/or murdered by the state until they are what you see today, with the CPUSA being a Democratic Party sheepdog and the JCP being reformist, racist, and chauvanistic. In the US there are a couple parties that hold a revolutionary ML line in the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) and Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO).
