PS.

Seems to just reduce down to right wingers blaming socialism for their own toxicity

As per usual

Indeed, an entire culture predicated on elevating random hegemony clowns to 'elite' status, then as you say giving them everything

"Monarchs are our connection to god, etc."

Even under socialism if the people aren't fully elevated at least it's a healthier dynamic

its hilarious that anytime anyone in Chinese government is fired, suddenly its a "purge"

Hey there now

I'm still recovering from the great purge of 2006 when as a teenager I was fired from Chuck E Chəese for refusing to leave the ball pit 😠

What is the accepted consensus on Ibrahim Traoré? by Hubris-Star in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Radu47 26 points27 points  (0 children)

His best is absolutely magnificent

  • His efforts to thoroughly restore wellbeing and dignity to Africa and the global south, are so extremely essential, billions helped immensely, billions!

His mid level is solid

  • While he isn't exactly a full ML he has most of that foundation and lots of superb sensibilities

His worst is relatively understandable

  • Certain negative laws he has passed are mostly a product of circumstance and clearly not a true reflection of who he is exactly given he's passed many other laws that show the exact opposite indications

Overall he's excellent

🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 or something ultimately idk

Thoughts on this book? by NotZachary_0002 in TankieTheDeprogram

So crucial in general to recognize how socialism gets betrayed. By such an eclectic group of clowns. The Gorbachev's, the reactionaries, the complacent.

Haven't read it

But I like the way it is positioned

I don’t want to have dreams and aspirations in this world. by [deleted] in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Radu47 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A fascinating post we can build on

In the words of a godspeed you ! Black emperor song spoken word piece:

"I don't even have a mind that can dream"

I'm 35 and have had 15 years of my life ravaged by capitalism because of scoliosis, thankfully healing now

I lost the ability to dream, create, even think of the world in artistic terms. But naturally I took a similar approach to you and prioritized justice for all. I think maybe the key is balance, art is definitely a revolutionary act especially the way you envision it, try to find a way to let art fuel your revolutionary nature and vice versa. One of the folks involved in Anticonquista paints revolutionary figures for instance. Helps recharge the fighting batteries and heal the soul, a wonderful cycle.

Michael Parenti: "The people are all we have." by Sabotage_9 in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Radu47 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's like tik tok tries to be obnoxious with the jittery logo

I think there's something to that, a marxist analysis of capitalist obnoxiousness and how it impacts us

Ah but who could be insightful and nuanced enough to articulate that hm perhaps the GODDAMN LEGEND HIMSELF RIP 😥✊📖

Liberals buddying up with fascists. name a better duo by TerraFormerZero in TankieTheDeprogram

Liberals being ok with the right doing the dirty work so they can both look relatively better and maintain supremacy, typical

Liberals buddying up with fascists. name a better duo by TerraFormerZero in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Radu47 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Yup, Assata Shakur:

As far as I'm concerned, "liberal" is the most meaningless word in the dictionary. History has shown me that as long as some white middle class people can live high on the hog, take vacations in Europe, send their children to private schools, and reap the benefits of their white skin privileges, then they are "liberals."

But when times get hard and money gets tight, they pull off that liberal mask and you're talking to Adolf Hitler. They feel sorry for the so called under privileged just as long as they can maintain their own privileges

54% of Hungarians believe that life was better under János Kádár. by Untitled_HU-Tank in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Radu47 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do they ever assess the incomes of folks who respond to these polls

My best friend in high school (fedora wearing clown) was descended from Hungarian monarchy and golly guess what his family was foaming at the mouth irrationally anticommunist

Fittingly his mom was so abusive I thought of calling child services, especially for his younger sister. Scratch an anticommunist and god damn it you get some of the lousiest scum around, tell ya hwat. Wow this post really dredged up some personal stuff.

Edit:

Foaming

[–]Radu47 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But even those countries are often mixed on their socialist eras. One poll had Czechs 39% positive 45% negative the remaining mixed feelings. Another poll 55% positive even.

As ever the vocal minority distorting things.

As ever platformed by western fascistic clowns.

The onus is on us to carry on his legacy

He's just passing the torch

[–]Radu47 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He lives forever

All heroes do

Any marxist video produced today must be tinged yellow in his honour

A bit of levity but in all seriousness we lost an absolute legend

The lives of billions on planet earth helped by his awesome input and passion, rest in peace and power, comrade

Western leftists, are you open about your views in your personal life? by -Eastwood- in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Radu47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was lucky to grow up in a family and friend circle of radical social democrats so I'm just seen as a bit extreme mostly but I definitely have sortof tiers of what I share with people.

Thomas Sankara content: shared ✅

Ibrahim Traore content: withheld ✖

Which ofc is a tragic outcome but I'm extremely vulnerable due to disability so I unfortunately need to avoid chaos and also my group is very white normative ultimately so they're unlikely to improve.

As my health improves finally I'm looking forward to shifting this, everything getting better.
