My dream now is to move to China and create propaganda for the sake of furthering communism. America is so systematically fucked that without literally killing every politician in the country we will never recover. Maybe maoist third worldists are right. We in real doomer hours now.
take it from someone who has (close) relatives in china…
it is 1000x closer to here then to the ussr (maybe try cuba)
but yes the third worldists are right i personally think Brazil is on the table for revolution
i personally think Brazil is on the table for revolution
uh… why? after colombia we’re probably the most reactionary shithole in all of south america lol
Northern Brazil has revolutionary potential in the way the south doesn’t per my understanding no? Isn’t there a state with a communist governor?
i would say the northeast and the north are the regions with the most revolutionary potential, but the working class here (i’m in the northeast) is even more disorganized than in são paulo for instance, and without organizing we won’t have shit
as for the state governor, the history of our communist movement is a bit complicated, but to sum it up PCdoB (flávio dino’s party) has become a reformist party through and through and PCB is the one that maintains its marxist roots
and this is coming from someone who to this day still thinks even bernie is a socialist, so when i say dino is a lib you can be sure he is lol
america has had more riots this year than brazil, would you say america is on the table for revolution?
it’s having an organized working class under the right circumstances that leads to this, in our case the circumstances have always been here but our working class has been pretty scattered since the 30s (though they had a little bit of a revival in the late 70s/early 80s)
bolivia, on the other hand, is a place where revolution might go off in the near future
I agree theyre more capitalist than socialist rn but the entire party is full of actual marxists so I do have hope that they will continue on their path.
I don’t know why this myth persists
Western leftists understand just how bleak it would be (or is) to live in a world with no major leftist power, so they are willing to ignore pretty much anything to believe that China is leftist. It’s just a better world to live in than one where the two world powers are competing to see who gets to be in charge of the global neoliberal hegemony.
China isn’t leftist and they regularly send money to support reactionary states like the Kingdom of Nepal and the Philippines fight leftist revolutions. They’re also a horrifically authoritarian police state, and whether you call what they’re doing to the Uygurs a “genocide” or not, it’s certainly bad shit they’re doing over there. China isn’t your fucking friend.
there are billionaires in the party and china has some of the worst labor rights in the world the only thing that could save the party is a hard liner coup
