    It is hard to refute statements like this. In essence this is saying that the ruling parties of USSR and China are self serving apparatus citing their corruption and brutality as the reason. His claim is that they are not real Marxist Leninists but at the same time we don’t know what his vision of real Marxism Leninism looks like because apparently the interviewer and the interviewee did not think having a reference point would be nice. The difficulty in refutation comes from the fact that it leaves a lot to the imagination. Is China especially corrupt and brutal to its workers? There is obviously some corruption and some poverty still exists but I cannot overstate how much worse things could have been if you compare it to actually non-socialist countries like India and South Africa. Can you imagine India-level wealth inequality with the absolute total wealth that China has? It would be like nothing we have seen before. So they could be doing a lot worse too. You can absolutely say that following Deng’s doctrine has led to corruption but the benefits of being able to build productive and technological capacity are immense and undeniable. (I would say it was necessary too but Maoists disagree with this.) There is also the factor of China not constantly descending into a more and more capitalistic makeup. The corruption problem was much worse in the Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao eras but was somewhat reigned in Xi era. This is not what I would imagine a constant erosion of the socialist character would look like.

    His words here shouldn’t be given much weight here. Maybe he expands on it in other parts of the interview?

    I make a su*cide joke here please forgive me. Also mention of queerphobia.

    Ever hear something so stupid you just wanna die? Like you just wanna get vaporised off the face of the planet so that you may not hear something so stupid again?

    I overheard some family members talking about children’s cartoons. Then a guy said Cocomelon should be avoided. I agree with this. But why does he think so? Cocomelon is (along with Peppa Pig) a leftist psyop where this nebulous leftist cabal uses bright colours in a (I quote) Manchurian Candidate experiment to indoctrinate children into waving the rainbow flag.

    I wish my eardrums would have given in before the waves for these words fell upon them.

    Western leftist blog post -> We need Solidarity

    The institution that brought down the Russian-backed regime in Poland wasn’t a campaigning group like the ones we have in the anglosphere (and I’m sorry, Marxist-Leninists, but most of what you do in the anglosphere falls into this category). It wasn’t a vanguard party, and it wasn’t a militant group. It was Solidarnośc, an independent trade union, and there are important structural reasons for why a union was able to do this when nobody else could.

    Hmm interesting. Let me look up Solidarnosc. From Wikipedia of all sources:

    [Solidarnosc] ”), is a Polish trade union founded in August 1980 at the Lenin Shipyard in Gdańsk, Poland.[1] Subsequently, it was the first independent trade union in a Warsaw Pact country to be recognised by the state.

    The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) transferred around $2 million yearly in cash to Solidarity from 1982 onwards, for a total of $10 million over five years.

    Like clockwork lmao
