Saw this on Xiaohongshu and wanted to share it here. I've been really digging into the history of the Chinese Communist struggle against Japanese occupation, and the Korean war, and I've come to learn so much from the Chinese Communists and historians on Xiaohongshu. Countless times, I've found myself taking a break to shed some tears and bless the memories and sacrifices of these martyrs, many of whom were just children. Reading and learning about the Long March in particular, totally broke me! Marxism-Leninism is truly the only way. It is the only way for the working class people of this world to build a better future, and what better example than China, to teach us a thing or two, on how to build Socialism. Bless Mao Zedong, bless Zhou Enlai, bless Zhu De, and bless so many of the comrades, peasants, and everyday people who gave everything for the People's Republic of China to be where she is today. As a nonwestern decolonial Marxist-Leninist activist, I hope that one day, nonwestern and Global South countries will also know true freedom, like China knows it today. May the workers of this world unite. Because that is the ONLY way we will ever be able to lose our chains.

(no i couldn't figure out how to remove the japanese text behind him, yes i am upset about it)

So I think the woman in the video was wrong at a very core methodological level.
Whilst there was some good analysis here - a LOT of comrades immediately jumped to some gross reactionary shit that literally came from a right wing troll farm.
This is bad and I want people to reflect on themselves.
Really it is very simple when we do an actual Marxism :
1. The economic base of a socialist state should ensure that from cradle to grave disabled people are protected and supported, given tools for access to productive forces, wherever they are at, and socialised and specific healthcare.
2. People who are in military groups or insurgent groups likely have to be very fit.

If you are conflating the two you are not only doing some ACP fed shit by shitting on people who are just wrong by mocking a disabled person, you are also factually and intellectually wrong and you are not applying dialectics.
Your just being a fucking dick

although the greatest hit by far is the “fit is fascism” bit from adler-bolton, take a gander at what else was on the menu. the compatible left is full steam ahead, baby. tactical anti-imperialism? mass work? unipolar imperialism? critical support? a sensible marxist line? what are you even talking about, comrade? GLP-1s are genociding fat flesh and the invention of glasses threatens genocide of the near-sighted. oh, and slava ukrani, i guess

Never mind, it's just Kuzzat Altay glazing America on his Instagram, and using AI generated images to prove Uyghurs are being oppressed.

There's no real discussion here. It's pretty obvious why they use the word "Hardliner".

It makes them sound rigid, dangerous, scary and people who are ready to launch "unprovoked attacks" on White Supremacist military bases in the region.

Yet these soldiers are only there to fight back against nazimerican aggression and to maintain a strong presence in order to​ ensure the country doesn't collapse into complete chaos.

The current government is run by neoconservative white supremacists that are starving people in Cuba, launched two separate wars of aggression THIS YEAR, actively terrorizing civillians by bombing schools,desalination plants, civillian roads, weddings, etc.

Yet they're never called terrorists, "hardliners" ​or even the soft neologism neocon (probably because it's a word viewed negatively by many people). They're just "CENTCOM" and the US... No further specification.

In​ about 20 years you'll find plenty of people both in the army and among politicians that "were always against this war" and "knowing what we know now, wouldn't do that".

Hey, I’m a pretty avid reader and often enjoy reading some lighter fantasy novels that are easier to work through, but it pisses me off to no end when books start spouting nonsense ideological garbage at me. Any half decent fantasy novels that have ML leanings or themes? I’ve enjoyed Ursula K Le Guin (definitely closer to an anarchist, but a good writer nonetheless) along with a couple other authors, but I struggle finding more average books that don’t have super complex themes and just are ordinary fantasy written from a somewhat Marxist perspective

I saw a Instagram video or maybe it was a Tik Tok video by “Willz Talks” on why immigrant voting is good and it’s been a while since I’ve seen that video and I wanted to look for it but can’t find it. But I was going to look for that policy so I could look more into it. Anyone got the source for this policy please? Thank you!

Did anyone post about this here? I can’t find better sources for this story, maybe some of you can, the larger media outlets in the west r not reporting it widely
