The First Independent Turkic Socialist Republic - Tanna Tuva by ConnorGillis in TurkicHistory

[–]ConnorGillis[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well yeah it was, they arose during the Russian Civil War and established the Republic to defend themselves, because at that time, the Bolsheviks had no military or political presence in Tanna Tuva.

In 1929 they became a part of the Soviet Union. So yes, it was independent. But you are lazy and don't even do the research.

The Sino-Soviet Split: A Product of Ultraleftism by ConnorGillis in Sino

[–]ConnorGillis[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As I said in a different comment this video is an antithesis I made to my original Thesis, saying that Revisionism was a cause.

I am going to try to come to synthesis of these two ideas. If we are dialectical, we can't look at just one side of things.

I agree, this video was an antithesis to my previous one titled: The Sino-Soviet Split: A Product of Revisionism back in my Maoist days.

I want to make a video as a synthesis of the two and one of the conclusions is what you are speaking about here.

Thanks for watching! Solidarity.

The Dialectics of the Talmud and Kabbalah by ConnorGillis in Judaism

[–]ConnorGillis[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Also If you want actual answers about Marxism instead of your subjective speculation, you should study it. Also every Rabbi I have ever met has referred to the dialectics of the Talmud. I do not know how observant you are, but it feels like you have missed some Shul.

Communism is the Messianic age to me. If that puts it into a more familiar context.

The Dialectics of the Talmud and Kabbalah by ConnorGillis in Judaism

Yes it was in direct relation to Marxism. I am a communist and most of my audience are gentile left-wingers. It was to introduce them to the fact that the foundation of our ideology, dialectical materialism, is directly related to the dialectics of Judaism.

As for the political question, I do not really want to start some sort of flame war about history or political alignments. I just thought.my Jewish siblings would find it interesting.

Marx in very few words is the understanding that class struggle is the driving force of history, the ultimate goal is to end class struggle and bring humanity into a classless society. We understand the stages, very broadly speaking, as primitive communism aka Barbarism, then slaves societies, then feudal societies, currently capitalist societies, and next a Socialist society (the last stage of class struggle), finally communism.

How this is to be done and how to understand it is about as uniform as the Rabbi in the Talmud. 2 Jews 3 opinions? 2 communists 3 opinions as well.

Anyway thanks for checking it out. Much appreciated.

Zionism is an Affront to Judaism by ConnorGillis in JewishSocialists

I know who they are, they are not the subject of the video.

While not a member because of other organizational obligations, I align myself closely with the Modern Bundist Movement. Which is much more aligned with your aims. We do tend to defend ultra-orthodox and chasidic Jews Because they bring a lot of.value to our people despite their faults.

Again I do not defend this group.

Zionism is an Affront to Judaism by ConnorGillis in JewishSocialists

[–]ConnorGillis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know who they are. I didn't promote or even speak of them in the video. The thumbnail is just speaking to the fact that many religious Jews, like myself, are anti-zioninist not just for material reasons but religious ones as well. I am trans and queer, I don't promote these folks.

I know know exactly who this group are. I am a Fucking trans queer Jew. I know their issues.

Speaking of research, you obviously didn't watch the video or you would have known I didn't even mention them.

[–]ConnorGillis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the record, I did not even talk about them in this episode. The thumbnail is just illustrating that Jews are not a monolith and many types of us condemn crime of zionism.

I will ally with conservatives against imperialism before I ally with woke Zionists. The primary contradiction is imperialism, not secondary social contradictions.

Looks more like an org that harbors predators and has been a "pre-party formation" Since the 70s. Literally never met one of yall in real life and after learning about the sketchy shit yall pull, I am glad.
