A massive wave of repression is coming. We can survive this, then overthrow the imperialist deep state.

rainershea.substack.com A massive wave of repression is coming. We can survive this, then overthrow the imperialist deep state.

Prior to the Indonesian genocide of the 1960s, where the CIA installed a military dictatorship that the lives of millions, the country’s communist party technically did warn about the peril. The problem was that this warning had been made in a reactive way, and therefore wasn’t nearly enough to prep...

Not Shea 😩
- Can you at least give me something to work with other than assuming I also have completely unlimited computer time and memory?
  
  I need to store a lot of mana costs and damage values in here. Important stuff!
  
  Of course, he’s a sectarian right deviationist.
  
  I think it would be awesome if the PSL reached even the level of achievement of the KPRF, but more in touch with working class civil rights issues, but they aren't. Instead they're part of a boutique industry of nonprofits in the USA
  
  I agree, but Shea’s only proposal is to work with the right on Ukraine.
  
  I think it's a mistake to attribute the Patsoc movement to any kind of organic tendency or "ideological drift" when it's mostly Maupin, who came out of the same RT program as Abby Martin who is interviewed there, who mister blogster here has soured on as well (don't get me started on Rob, or Prysner lol), a law student (who gets 300 viewers (and mainly beefs with a tiny group of ppl who live off Amazon and Google salaries and kids' pocket change while espousing NAFO socialism or whatever the fuck they came up with by now)), and a guy who used to talk relly flamboyantly and work for pelosi before doing a pro wrestling style heel-heel turn and becoming a "republican communist" caricature now psyopping the people of Yemen (who deserve the greatest victories and global adulation and do not deserve perfidious white boys in suits coming on positively)
  
  Made me really sad to say someone say "let's call a spade a spade here, if Hinkle wasn't reactionary he wouldn't be hosted by the Yemenis" wtf. No it's because he's an artificially boosted influencer he literally connected with them thru twitter in between doing this to afghans with sameera khan etc and Spaces with Israelis where he said George Floyd false flagged america just like Hamas
  
  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
  
  So what I'm saying is this isn't just where someone is on the political compass or whatever, it's some kind of policy issue hobby horse that gets people caught up in stuff like "fuck it Tucker interview" they take the bait out of spite or something.
  
  My criticism of the PSL is they are too much alike the libertarians and seem to be part of the same activist NGO complex.
  
  We have to look at the purpose of this larger funding network not by what its various ideological mouthpieces say but by looking at how people absorbed into it end up functioning, what end they serve. Seems to keep people invested in electoralism and cold war style cargo cult "just get out there and say what you have to say" stuff while identifying themselves scrupulously.
  
  I agree. Abby seems relatively decent from what i've seen, though also just saying everything's a psyop and she doesn't know who to trust.
  
  If that's so, I really don't see it in that essay-response to the Martin-Becker intervew. If he's seriously articulated misguided Patsoc beliefs (where?), surely you can reason with a guy quoting Kim Il-Sung to criticize Becker using the same pseudo-"Leninist" (don't laugh!) arguments Politstrum and Konstantin Syomin make to denounce Hamas as imperial proxies?
  
  Shea's a patsoc because he denounces national liberation for the black nation, and supports working with reactionary organizations.
  
  >What does this tell us about how to proceed? For those of us who are already involved in the pro-Russian orgs which exist outside “leftism,” such as CPI and PCUSA, it means we need to build connections between ourselves and our local unions. For the majority of the people who are reading this, though, and who are involved in the broader class struggle, one’s likely role in this effort is different. It’s not necessarily becoming part of these orgs, and establishing those ties between them and the unions. Unless you feel seriously compelled to do that, which would of course be good, what you can instead do is make it harder for the opportunists to isolate the anti-imperialists. As in nurture a culture within labor organizing which isn’t susceptible to the sectarian divisions that opportunist orgs, such as PSL, seek to make normal within the broader workers movement.
  
  CPI is just absurd "maga communism," and PCUSA are anti-dialectical settler chauvinists.
  
  The Deprogram should've never invited Konstantin.
  
  that's the entire comment section like I said in another comment specificity really goes a lot further than more emphatic denunciations
  
  Anyway, you're gonna love this one then
  
  That’s fair, here’s a more specific link about him shifting rightward on national liberation for black people in the US: https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/1074763
  
  I know the article, and I don’t know what to do with it. Sectarian, but maybe true.
  
  Both OP and comments must all READ WALLERSTEIN (specifically city-countryside exploitation)!!!! And Samir Amin for his commentary on post-apartheid South Africa (Maldevelopment). If I have time I will track all these people down and show them the damn book screenshots.
  
  Pretty sure they are fans of dependency theory. How does it delegitimize national liberation in North America (I have personally not read Amin or Wallerstein)?
  
  Final note for the time being as I'm being picked up (😳 (I am being doted upon (TERROR!!!!!)) FEAR!) but I think that the mistake is thinking for some reason an alliance with petit boug in the imperial core is somehow the move because we can transplant Mao Zedong thought to the USA. The way people bludgeon each other with these unanalytical historical parallels drives me up the wall. Look, I like MAO ZEDONG THOUGHT 🗣️ a LOT. That's why I am NOT DOING THAT.
  
  Idk whom you are saying does this, but I will say specifically pcusa is into pettybourgeois alliances and irrelevant historical parallels, but consider MZT "ultra left" (of course the right deviationists will only punch left).
