We’re jealous of their progress towards socialism. Western liberal communists (including me up until June) can’t deal with being so far behind, so China must be fascist, etc. There’s also an excellent piece about how it has to do with christian martyrism, but I don’t know what it’s called offhand
Holy shit. That article hits hard.
It is very common in Western leftist culture to support martyrs and suffering. Everyone today likes Salvador Allende. Why? Salvador Allende is a victim, a martyr. He was assassinated in Pinochet’s coup d’ etat. When Hugo Chavez was alive, many sectors of the left turned their nose up at him. If he had been killed, for example, in the 2002 Coup attempt, he would be adored by the immense majority of the western left today, as a symbol of suffering and martyrdom. Since he continued exercising power as leader of a political process which, by necessity, had various contradictions, he was increasingly abandoned, as time passed – I don’t even have to mention what has happened to Maduro here.
holy shit as a brazilian it’s awesome to see this guy here
he makes some great content and i’m expecting him to be quite important in the future, already made the rounds being mentioned in the media conglomerates (often as a “stalinist”, which is always a good sign because it signals they’re getting scared of us)
