It's classic. Good 👍

red shambala is a psyop by white american petit-bourgeois theorley MList dengoid deprogramslop enjoyers who see communism as a mere aesthetic choice and who do not care in the slightest for materialism or marxist doctrine.
it would be just as easy to make such edits featuring obscure, edgy, and esoteric looking symbols and concepts of a materialist, scientific, and marxist nature.
there's lots of crazy stuff about space, quantum physics, even fricking posadist aliens would be more realistic and accurate than buddhist tibetan serfdom ass lamaslop with a sickle poorly shopped rotating around it.

The original meme that Red Shambhala parodies is in reference to "Agartha", which I think is supposed to be this magical aryan kingdom or something inside a hollow earth, hence the song (Do you come from a land) Down Under

>the idea of a unified "white" race is entirely a product of the 20th century
No, its a product of the late 17th century. By then colonial records in Virginia recorded "Whites".
>considering italian-americans and irish-americans were still second-class citizens not too long ago
Italians and Irish were considered "the negros of the whites", meaning they were still considered white even if ultimately inferior to other whites.

Koreans are just naturally light skinned. It's sun exposure during the summer and manual labor that makes a lot of Koreans look darker. I know several Korean people who live in countries closer to the north than SK and they are pale af.

According to ancient Greece, Europe was just Greece, according to Romans, it was Italy and Greece, Northerners were called milkies.

Reminder that Marco Polo described East Asians as having the same skin color as he has. Reminder that there was a Japanese immigrant in early 20th century America that almost succesfully won a whiteness debate before an US court to be considered eligible for US citizenship. Reminder that 19th century European scholars were major hinduboos (compareable to modern weeaboos) and thats why the term "Aryan" was adopted for Indo-European languages. Reminder that the Irish are the palest Europeans but were seen as subhumans because of the constant conflicts they had with Anglo-Saxons since the 8th century.

>Slavs like something that the Germans created
>Slavs support Israel in their minds while Germany supports Israel materially to a degree only surpassed by the US
I mean I do agree that a lot of filth resides on the European continent. But as said, I‘m from Swaziland. Since you were so confident that any country I would name would at least be as bad as Germany you can tell me about Swaziland‘s General Plan Ost.

>>2588623
>I‘m from Swaziland
You're not, that country is called Eswatini since almost a decade. Besides, Eswatini is an actual monarchy and their King supports Israel.

>>2588231
>I think the difference between you and me is that I wouldn't blindly defend my nation.
Yeah wou will blindly defend other nations cause of "anti-imperialism" lmao

>>2588687
So I can‘t be from the beautiful nation of Swaziland because I choose to call it Swaziland? I don‘t know man. Maybe I just like to cling to the past, similar to how you put on the DDR flag despite its collapse 30 years ago.

Now tell me the amount of arms and weapon systems Swaziland has sent to Israel.

>>2588687
The Communist Party still calls it Swaziland because it views the decree to change the name as illegitimate since it was done by the Monarchy.

not sure about that, might as well just have been killed after the initial separation (families were deliberately separated and worked in different parts of the country, or in mobile brigades all across it), or reunited after a while.

also a somewhat relevant paper:
>The monastic order in Cambodia has been divided into two fraternities (nikaya) since 1855 when King Norodom imported the newly-formed Thommayut (dhamayutika nikaya) from Thailand through the agency of Maha Pan, a Khmer monk belonging to King Mongkut’s spiritual lineage. Norodom subsequently had Wat Botum Vaddey constructed, according to the demarcation ritual (nadisima) of the newly formed order, adjacent to the new royal palace in Phnom Penh as the headquarters of the new order and Maha Pan was subsequently installed as its sanghareach (Meas Yang 1978, 38).
>In Thailand the introduction of the new order had passed off without opposition. This was not the case in Cambodia where frequent skirmishes between Mohanikay and Thommayut monks seem to have occurred with some regularity (Bizot 1976, 9). The influence of the colonial power may have been a factor here since the French regarded the Mohanikay, particularly those belonging to its reformed wing, to exercise a beneficial influence on the populace and towards the protectorate. Thommayut monks, on the other hand, were regarded as potentially intransigent, not least because it was thought that they owed their allegiance to the Thai court (Forest 1980, 143).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: THE KHMER ROUGE AND THE PROBLEM OF WESTERN "HISTORY"

So you've been reading the bourgeois press again. You've consumed the "documentaries," the "memoirs," the "historical consensus." You think you know about Democratic Kampuchea. You have been given a fairy tale of "evil" and "madness," a cartoon for liberal babies to suckle on. Let us scrape the imperialist glaze from your eyes and examine the material reality.

What was Democratic Kampuchea?
It was the ultimate expression of Year Zero. Not as a slur, but as a material necessity. For centuries, the Khmer people were bled white by feudal monarchs, then by French colonizers who turned their country into a plantation, then by American bombers who turned it into a crater. The very social fabric was saturated with feudalism, colonialism, and comprador capitalism. You cannot perform surgery with a butter knife. To build socialism, the old society must be smashed. Totally. Irrevocably. The city, a site of parasitic profiteering and colonial decadence, had to be dissolved. The peasantry, the only uncorrupted revolutionary class, became the base. This was not "madness." This was radical decolonization of the mind and soil.

But the cities were emptied!
Yes. Based. The city is a tumor. Phnom Penh in 1975 was a festering slum of refugees, profiteers, CIA agents, and the lumpen scum of a destroyed society. To keep it running would have meant begging the imperialists for food, becoming a neocolonial puppet state like the ones you defend when you cry about "Vietnam." The urban population was relocated to the countryside to participate in the great project of agrarian transformation. Were there logistical failures? Possibly. But consider the context: a country bombed back to the stone age, with zero infrastructure, facing immediate famine and imperialist blockade. The alternative was to let the revolution die in a starving city. Revolution is not a dinner party.

But the executions! The Tuol Sleng!
S-21 was a security apparatus. Do you think revolution is a game? Do you think the CIA, the KGB, the Vietnamese revisionists, and the feudal remnants were just going to allow the world's most radical experiment to proceed? The revolution was besieged from day one. Internal enemies, saboteurs, and agents provocateurs were a material fact. Was every accusation correct? In the fog of revolutionary defense, perhaps not. But to focus on the security measures Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Worker co-operatives are a reactionary step backwards. They just have far too much managerial overhead and so requiring massive financialization in order to work. This is technically possible to solve with effective central banking but it is inefficient. In general, central planning is the way to go.

Fidel was by far the #1 communist aura farmer but Tito was definitely stiff competition.

>>2587139
tbf that wasnt titos fault

Ethnic nationalism should have been mercilessly crushed in Yugoslavia. Any identity besides Yugoslav should have been viciously repressed.

Tito's softness on nationalism is a direct cause of the 1990s chimpouts. Life under him was excellent but he was extremely short sighted.

Veysi Aktaş: The Turkish left continues with the same old routine, not renewing itself
Leader Apo's message was read at the International Peace and Democratic Society Conference organized in Istanbul by the Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party).

The letter was read by Veysi Aktaş, who was released after spending 30 years in prison, the last 10 of which were in İmralı.

Speaking to Bianet, Aktaş responded to criticisms of the letter. He stated that the common problem stemming from the reaction from the government, as well as the left and socialists, is bigotry. He said, "Bigotry isn't just experienced on the right; it's also experienced on the left. This is one of the most fundamental problems facing the Turkish left. For this reason, a 'breakthrough' is impossible. Socialization is impossible, and those ideological molds can't be broken and established on a political basis."

'SOCIALISTS HAVE NO REASON TO SAY'

Aktaş, reminding that the letter draws attention to the crises experienced by the left not only in Turkey but also globally, stated the following: "There's no end to socialists' words. 'We've told the world what we had to say in the name of socialism, and that's it.' A socialist's words are endless. It's impossible for a socialist to experience political deadlock. Because they are based on society, they're based on truth. These assessments are an acceptance of the end or bankruptcy. The Turkish left, too, continues with this mentality, following the same rote, failing to renew itself. In fact, they're essentially holding onto a set of dogmas. They think that if they abandon these dogmas, they'll be swept away, they'll lose everything. That's why they cling to those dogmas so tightly. And they don't analyze them, they don't criticize them, they don't approach them with a free mind. The same rote is repeated over and over again.

WHY DON'T THE TURKS HAVE A HISTORY OF THE OPPRESSED?

Criticizing the Turkish left's understanding of history and calling for a self-critical approach, Aktaş said: “If they want to interpret the leadership correctly, they need to improve themselves in historical sociology. They need to read history correctly. They are strangers to their own history. Even within their own history, a 'history of the oppressed' hasn't yet been uncovered. Why don't the Turks have a history of the oppressed? They are constantly being imposed upon a hiPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Fdpd

I will say, if anarchists were as willing to cooperate with le stalinists in the Spanish civil war as they were in Rojava, Franco would be living in a prison in Morroco.

>Why a focus on Rojava in 2024? Both because of random discussions, but also because the most widespread form of military-revolutionary mythology about Rojava has reappeared as an ideological support for an “anarchist” commitment to the war in Ukraine, going as far as to valorize the career paths of people who have gone from one war to another. On this occasion, a military commitment in Rojava is “naturally” presented as an authoritative justification for joining the Ukrainian troops “in any case”, the case being understood as a leftist or “anarchist” cause.

>The struggle in Chiapas since the 90s was– and to some extent remains – a banner for this matrix, although this does not coincide with its complex and contradictory reality, a serious analysis of which would take up too much space here. Anyway, a superficial and left-wing vision of Chiapas is often provided by the zealots of “Revolutionary Rojava” in support of their theses, notably on these issues: autonomy, territory, civil society, democracy without a State, participative governance, armed struggle, gender. All these elements need to be critically examined, but the very nature of the ideological matrix is to make them unchallengeable, in a fearsome machine that has seen considerable expansion about Rojava. Instead of talking about the fate of the insurrectional struggle of 2011 and beyond, instead of seeing the Kurdish national movement as antagonistic to that struggle, we are being fooled with the people, militarism-feminism, collaborative economy and the glorification of “civil society”, as if the latter were not the space par excellence of class collaboration, the other face of the State, its guarantor and pillar.
