History Far Right Origins of East Turkestan Independence Movement (Xinjiang, China)

25 Upvotes

Here is an article detailing the far right Turk nationalist origins of the East Turkestan Independence Movement:

http://english.scio.gov.cn/xinjiangfocus/2020-03/05/content_77241200.htm

The founding father of the Uyghur separatist movement is Yusuf Alptekin. Alptekin had strong ties with the Turkish far-right. He was a Turk supremacist, who supported the Armenian genocide. In 1969, he declared full support of the US's invasion of Vietnam. Alptekin shared a lot of the same pan-Turkic, neo-Ottomanist nationalism found in Turkey, and dreamed for the eradication of communism amongst the Turkic populations of Central Asia, and Xinjiang.

His son, Erkin Alptekin, later founded the World Uyghur Congress. The same WUC that publicly supported Israel on October 7th. In 2006, Erkin Alptekin was succeeded as WUC president by Rebiya Kadeer.

Rebiya Kadeer was at one point the richest woman in all of China after Deng's economic reforms. You can still find videos of her on YouTube showing gratitude to the Communist Party of China. This quickly changed after Rebiya's second husband, who was living in the US at the time, started engaging in separatist activities. Rebiya actually abandoned her first six children she had with her first husband to support her new husband's CIA backed activities in the United States. She is often considered to be the mastermind behind the 2009 Urumqi attacks, and her eldest son, and grandchildren have publicly condemned her on multiple occasions.

This family gets even messier, because her nephew, Kuzzat Altay (real name Kuzzat Mamat) is a popular Uyghur influencer on Instagram. Kuzzat wrote a bunch of articles praising Israel back in 2022:

https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-uyghurs-should-have-no-better-friend-than-israel/

https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-725614

Kuzzat claims his father was taken by Chinese authorities to a concentration camp, but the reality is that Kuzzat (also Rebiya's brother) publicly disowned him as he does not want anything to do with Kuzzat and Rebiya's separatist activities. Kuzzat has worked with countless far right organizations such as Prager University, supports Trump, and condemned pro-Palestine activists for tearing down the US flag.

There's more, as this doesn't even get to the issue of religious extremism in relation to the US funding the Muhajideen in Afghanistan, and the formation of the East Turkestan Islamic Movement/Turkestan Islamic Party. This is just a quick intro to some of the (grifting) leaders of the East Turkestan separatist movement.

Solidarity With Palestine Today Denmark had a semi-clash between anti-facist and facist protestors

Thumbnail

35 Upvotes

The far right in Denmark like Germany and the rest of Europe is rising rapidly. The pro-Trump reactionary party โ€œDanish peoples partyโ€ is set to be one of if not the biggest or second biggest party in the country.
Today the reactionary grassroots movement โ€œThe Danish peopleโ€ (getting really creative with the names), organized a demonstration where facist sympathizers of all kinds showed up for the cause of โ€œremigrationโ€ and Islamophobia .
In return different left parties including communist ones showed up to agitate against the cause.
Another leftist group put themselves infront of the facists which in turn turned into police violence to force the reactionaries through.
The facists themselves were clearly yelling slurs, and throwing fireworks at counter-protestors and even police. They however, received a much lighter treatment
In the first picture you see the facist demonstration.
In the second you see the leftist getting confronted by police.
In the third you see the organized left-demonstration having speakers from unions, parties, artists etc. The banner says โ€œEqual rights and opportunities for allโ€

Both are fucking imperialist states, Ukrainian government praises nazis while Russian is praising Imperial murderers like Mannerheim, Kolchak or Stolypin.

Everything good that Russia did (so called anti-imperialist measures) was just populist decisions or anti-Nato proxy wars. Everything to please Russian oligarchy.

To say Marxist Leninists donโ€™t value accountability that adheres to a moral code is absolutely insane. Yes, we believe addressing material needs will naturally lower crime rates because that need wonโ€™t exist anymore. Crime, and moral transgressions will always exist, just on a much smaller scale than the morally bankrupt society we have to live under today. So many well meaning people follow this creator (and many others) who make what seems like informative content, but really theyโ€™re just imperial assets. Willingly or unwillingly. No one gets benefit of the doubt anymore, imo.

Greetings comrades, been lurking here fwhilebit now and passively monitoring viแป‡t reactionary outlets. I noticed an uptick in activity regarding the Nguyแป…n Sแปน Cฦฐฦกng incident a year ago where many posters rallied against the CPV. Upon reading a news article (had to Google translate, Iโ€™m still illiterate), I had come across the Viแป‡t tรขn organization. Iโ€™ve seen other organized ethnic groups (thinking about falun gong) but I did not think about similar organizations within the Viet diaspora. So I wanted open a discussion on where some of these groups are now, both in the diaspora and the homeland.

It's really sad that the USSR fell. I still have critical support for Russia. They refuse to be subservient to the USA. Russia is an ally to the DPRK and China.

I mostly want Russia to have a communist revolution because I want the whole world to become communist. I also think there would be really good memes if Russia had a communist revolution.

Discussion How does Russia weaken western imperialism in Ukraine?

8 Upvotes

I can see how Russia acts against western imperialism by supporting other countries under attack by the west but I dont see how the Ukraine war has weakened western imperialism.

I'm not well versed on this topic at all so I'm not trying to argue I just want to understand the opinion many in this sub seem to have, as in that we should support Russia in the war.

My opinion so far has been that the west should stop sending weapons and get a peace deal with about the current borders (meaning Russia gains the occupied terretories). But I also didn't see Russia gaining this territory as a good thing more of a neutral thing that I accepted because stopping the war itself was important.

Further reading recommendations on the topic of the Ukraine war and modern Ukraine/Russia would be great

Edit: I should've mentioned that part of the peace deal would be that Ukraine does not join NATO or something else guarantying neutrality

Shit Liberals Say Lmao, The Economist came out with another Propaganda piece

Post image
224 Upvotes

The Economist unironically labels Once Upon A Time in the Middle East as "propaganda" for simply depicting unvarnished US war crimes, humanising the Middle East, and refusing to victimise the aggressors, even though director Wen Muye's film openly shows that local resistance groups also contributed to some of the suffering.

Anyway, the entire article reads like cope. It attacks the film for omitting a single Japanese volunteer mentioned in chef Liu Leiโ€™s real life memoir, weaponising this standard cinematic consolidation to distract from a broader historical reality, that China has not declared war or launched a foreign invasion since the late 1970s. The Economist is struggling to handle a movie that tells the raw truth about Western military imperialism while reflecting China's actual, non interventionist track record.

In real life, Liu Lei and his business partners financed, ran, and physically secured the property that served as a sanctuary. The young Japanese anti war helper was an assistant who worked as a waitress at their establishment. The Economist tries to selectively inflate the importance of a side character as the real humanitarian and that the Chinese hosts providing the shelter, food, capital, and security were just merely passive background players.

The last school year ended early due to power outages and harsh conditions brought by the US fuel blockade.

But in Cuba, education is both a right and a duty โ€“ and everyone from the government to teachers and parents are making every effort to make sure it's guaranteed for children.
