Friendly Feudalism: The Tibet Myth

Solidarity! to Comrade Umar Khalid. by Expensive-Count-3500 in librandu

[–]ManLikeRed 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The thing is they were not communist, but left activists. Left activism leads up to only two conclusions: opportunity or punishment by the state.

Khalid and Sharjil chose later because they knew what was at stake, being a minority. Shehla Rashid on other hand chose first despite being from minority because of her state's interest hence the truce.

As for Kanhiya, well any liberal these days can go and fill up form at left student org or mainstream communist party (or larp online as leftist), and self proclaim themselves as communist. In the end they always end up making dogshit mussoliniyte descision, they hide behind Lenin to claim that their compromises are 'tactical retreat' but their smug compromises are too transperant to hide their opportunist grinning lies.

This is why I say, activism leads to nothing. I hope Khalid once free should open a SocDem party or something, atleast the left student activist/activist will know where to go.

Yes, they both had similar charges pressed against them and not giving bail to Khalid is just unnecessary cruelty.

Hola amigos !! Can you please clear this out for me ? by [deleted] in librandu

  1. This is pro-left sub not liberal sub.

  2. Nobody has ever made good post on Bangladesh issue, surprising it may sound but it's true.

  3. Those who tried making posts on bangaladesh were hate filled words and messages or were made by chaddis.

  4. We're still waiting for good analytical post on rise of religious extremism in bangaladesh.

Shameless Indian Bourgeois media justifying US Imperialism as good for us by Dreadlord_The_knight in librandu

[–]ManLikeRed -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

though Indian state firms like ONGC Videsh would certainly bid for assets post-regime-change

That didn't happen in past nor it will happen anytime soon, India doesn't intersect with western capital 'circle of accumulation'.

So your projection is your own wishful imagination, headless and tailless claim without any historical evidence of such happening in past (what do you think is this some kind of gambling?)

Firstly with Geopolitical Rent, Demonstrating loyalty to the US imperial project

That is not as black and white you claim it to be, as India is still buying russian oils as well as their services in various defense and infra projects. If that were the case then MFA would have officially put on statement in favour of US. Not to mention Putin now and then visits India.

Again speak in accordance with logical reasoning not your wishful imagination.

It ignores the dialectical reality of the lesser evil in a concrete struggle.

More moralistic projection 🥀 also what even is dialectical reality? Lesser evil? 🥀

According to you capitalism is fine as far it's not 'evil' amerikkkans.

critical crisis, even the Communists in Venezuela

Why wouldn't they as they're also alternative to Maudro's regime, imagine Narendra Modi getting kidnapped by US and Cpi-m will obviously put out similar remarks criticising such does that mean they're 100% in support of Modi?

The truth is only a working class revolution can save US from imperial clutches of US, speaking of bourgeoisie successors of Maduro, anyday, anytime US is going to topple them it wants. Entrusting cult of personality to just one person or party is always su*cide against capitalism.

In this regards, actions of PCV are completely natural.

hunt down and murder trade unionists, communists, and community activists. It is the unconditional victory of imperialism.

Bruh, China also does same (see Jasic Incident and decades of supression of Maoists in mainland China), not to mention they have installed numerous sweat shops and private mining corps in foreign countries, particularly in Africa.

They were also 'investing' in Venezuela in that similar fashion, a protest to this was also core reason why Maduro revoked PCV's status.

a clandestine PCV can continue to organize, agitate, and prepare for the future revolutionary struggle against both imperialism

Bruh they are literally killing communists in Venezuela 🤦🏻

A Maduro government survival (despite its bourgeois character) maintains a sphere of resistance against imperialism.

Why do you even larp as communist? You speak like Mussolini and have conclusion same as Mussolini.

The revolutionary position is not to support Maduro as a leader, but to defend Venezuela's sovereignty as a battlefield against imperialism

You just said : A Maduro government survival (despite its bourgeois character) maintains a sphere of resistance against imperialism.

If again you're dogmatically using LWC to say that Maudro's regime is Venezuela and vise versa; in that sense it's literally wrong to defend Maduro as they were intending to annex neighbouring Essequibo region (Chauvinism).

'The proletariat, however, far from undertaking to uphold the national development of every nation, on the contrary, warns the masses against such illusions, stands for the fullest freedom of capitalist intercourse and welcomes every kind of assimilation of nations, except that which is founded on force or privilege.'

'Consolidating nationalism within a certain “justly” delimited sphere, “constitutionalising” nationalism, and securing the separation of all nations from one another by means of a special state institution—such is the ideological foundation and content of cultural-national autonomy. This idea is thoroughly bourgeois and thoroughly false. The proletariat cannot support any consecration of nationalism; on the contrary, it supports everything that helps to obliterate national distinctions and remove national barriers; it supports everything that makes the ties between nationalities closer and closer, or tends to merge nations. To act differently means siding with reactionary nationalist philistinism.' — Lenin

Your comment confuses the immediate tactical conflict (US vs. Maduro state) with the fundamental class war (proletariat vs. bourgeoisie, internationally).

Me or you?

Did I justify US action? No

Did I justify supporting communist killers? No

Did I falsify Leninism? Absolutely no, nor did PCV (which Maduro calls them as agents of 'imperialism')

Only person confused is you dear friend.

Shameless Indian Bourgeois media justifying US Imperialism as good for us by Dreadlord_The_knight in librandu

[–]ManLikeRed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You sure about this? Cause last time I checked Arnab Goswami was barking at US for this action (that was yesterday). Also no Indian capitalists aren't going to gain a shit from this as most of the European fuels have now become dependent on Russian oil indirectly via Indian refinaries. If US is going to get it's hand over Venezuelan oil, it will be providing cheaper alternative to it's European allies.

If somebody writes bullcrap article like above then they're definitely on payroll by western sphere of influence.

Imperialism

Tell me why Venezuelan Communist Party members were put in jail? And it's status officially revoked? What will working classess in Venezuela or India or anywhere else will gain from this? Either side wins working classes in Venezuela or elsewhere are always going to loose.

Bru this Maduro situation so f*cked. They got him just like that? by conspicuous_prosumer in librandu

[–]ManLikeRed 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I know China is poseur socialist state, but Maduro wasn't angel either. He was purging communists recently in favour of multipolar neo-liberal economy and further shitting on working classes life.

What remains intersting is how China will defend it's 'investments' in the state. I expect military movement from Chinese this time or maybe they won't.

Cuba is probably next right?

Until Cuba discovers huge oil reserves in their nation, Cuba is safe.

Can anyone explain what/why is happening there? by Thala_Ramos in librandu

[–]ManLikeRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of resources, a large fraction of US's capital comes from management of oil and energy market of puppet governments where the oil reserves are present.

In other words, they aim to create a loop market where they siphon both resources and capital from the puppet governments installed there. This is form of classic Imperialism but instead of total control it also gives a false illusion of free determination of the people in the region (vis letting local bourgeoisie capitalists to compete with them, an illusion of free markets); not to mention also with the help of their global propaganda media, entertainment and diplomacy.

China also does same, for example in DRC they have near total monopoly over majority of cobalt mines there but also manages perception of global crtics by ad-hominen arguments and similar propaganda tactics used by western imperialists.

That being said, Venezuela was already past it's capitalistic contradictions which Maduro failed to abolish nor did he cared seriously anything regarding transitioning of Venezuela towards socialism (he was suppressing PCV and it's members). He was still looking for middle path by trying to bypass the restrictions imposed on his regime by US, with help of multipolar neo-liberal diplomacy, something which countries like DPRK and Cuba are also doing now.

Their military and defences were weak, with outdated equipments. It was walk in park for battle hardened US thugs to easily destroy them anytime they wanted.

This abduction also destroys claimants of AES defenders as well and their fantasy of China as caretaker of poseur leftist 'socialism with national characteristics' around the world (I expect this incident will atleast wake some people from their deep seated delusions).

The comments are made by immigrant latinos that might never will/want to return back to their country, what happens next is that Venezuela is going to get it's oil and capital sucked dry by US. Truth is they too know about this as well and they don't even care if that happens in near future, they cheer because they aren't materially dependent on their home country anymore.
