/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

I'm not too well versed in Venezuelan politics. A Venezuelan immigrant living in Brazil I know, who's kind of a radlib 'anarchist', has been posting that Trump is bad but the "dictator" Maduro is a tyrant criminal and responsible for the economic crisis (no mention of sactions for some reason) etc etc you know the drill. She larps as an indigenous artist but she's pale-skinned, her father is an engineer, she used to travel when she was a child, and she came here well-educated in her early teens, so there's no chance she wasn't upper-middle class or something and that makes me very suspicious of her perspective. Her family left Venezuela early during Maduro's first term, which is internationally recognized as legitimate.

Blogpost aside, what's the consensus on Maduro? I know the drug charges are bogus but, did he really rig the election? Is he an "ecoterrorist" overlooking the looting and destruction of the Amazon rainforest? Is he a bad administrator of his country? What's the good and the bad here, materially speaking?

China needs feminism Cultural Revolution

China only has age of consent 14
Too many video games sexual objectification of underaged women
Too much problematic colourism racism in video games and TV, even worse than Japanese (it’s bad worse than Japanese in racism portrayals, just look at Genshin with PoC)
Too much censorship on LGBTQIA+ just look in Arcane TV show with removing Lesbians kissing and hugs.
We need feminist hero for Cultural Revolution like Anita Sarkessian

there is no difference politically between the first world and the third world, the third world isn't specifically socialist or humanitarian, there isn't a coalition of 'good' countries that will unite and fight against the empire, because every country wants to be the empire, they will fight the empire when it serves their interest and will side with the empire against other weak countries the moment they can see some benefit in doing that.

every great leader in history did shit for the money and the glory, every country on earth bends the knee to capital, specially the country retards on here say it's the only saving grace of communism, china.

the proletariat also will side against fellow proletariat the moment they get a slight pay increase, the moment they can save and start a small business, they will abandon their fellow worker, because in the final analysis no one actually cares about the working class, not even the working class. treatlerites are not exclusive to the first world, they are just a manifestation of this phenomena.

>p-p-please dont invade us saar
why are europeans so cucked

Guys, why do i have the feeling this while thing was staged? why ist he so happy and smiling? was this whole thing just theatre? is this just a psyop?

Then an actual conflict happens, and the western affiliated side just effortlessly wipes the floor with their global south opposition and shocks and humiliates them. The /pol/tards creep away, only to return a few weeks later and do it all again pretending like their previous humiliation never happened

>US BTFOing Wagner/Assadists in Syria (earliest example I can think of of this effect)
>Solemaini circus
>Ukraine war clusterfuck
>Operation Grim Beeper
>Collapse of Assad
>12 day war in Iran/Iran strike
>Venezuela

Honestly it seems that "quiet" is their greatest asset, for it lets them brag and live out their fantasies of supremacy without reality interfering. It's why the /pol/ influence was strongest here in the late 2010s and early 2020s.

This is all very confusing. Even the El Chapo shoot out was way more dramatic.

My personal conspiracy theory is that even the PSUV was getting tired of the bus driver. A backroom deal to throw Maduro out solves so many issues for everyone involved. Trump gets an easy win and some shoring up for low oil prices, the Venezuelan government can finally reintroduce the foreign experts they need to actually exploit their oil, the Venezuelan socialists can now hold Maduro up as a martyr and proof of the inexorable yankee aggression towards Latin America. The only loser is the US state department which will have the headache of trying to convince foreign nations that the US is still reliable while under an admin that treats their department like a joke, but Trump likely doesn't care because for him long term foreign policy objectives are subordinate to his own domestic reputation. I mean it's downright bizarre to take Maduro and then (seemingly as of this moment) just fuck off to let his VP take charge without so much as getting anything for the actual Venezuelan opposition, iirc Trump even said that Venezuela isn't ready for the opposition party to take over. I feel like my thinking on this is highly conspiratorial, but to me this seems like the natural follow-up for this is an uneasy detente where the PSUV is able to continue grinding out its control over Venezuela with a more stabilized oil industry at the cost of some humiliation.

This is something I thought ever since I read the beginning of the manifesto.

The periods in which serfs, plebs and slaves lived and tolerated their masters is a long one. Actually most human history has been people arrange, adjust and be content with their oppressed status, wherever they realize it or not.

Is the human history not just coping with the cards that are dealt? Like I get that contradictions will never be solved - but at what point do we even need to resolve the contradictions and just be content with what is there?

Narrative A:
<this is because Stalin purged too many communists and the party became revisionist

Narrative B:
<this is because Stalin didn't purge enough Anti Communists and the party became revisionist.

Narrative C:
<this is because Stalin both purged too many communists AND didn't purge enough anti-communists

Daily reminder that, contrary to Leninist claims, so-called left communism has been tried and has succeeded. Rojava and the Zapatistas have both maintained genuine classless, stateless societies for over a decade each, 12 years for the former, 30 years for the latter. A decade, let alone three, is not a fluke, it's a success story. It's especially not a fluke when you've survived despite being at the barrel of a hundred guns, which is the case with Rojava.

Daily reminder that a revolution is not successful unless it actually succeeds at its stated goals. Jettisoning any and all ideological standards in the name of "defending the revolution" isn't a victory for communism, because it doesn't actually get us any closer to communism. Leninist states like the Soviet Union and PRC have, in terms of material reality, rather than stated ideology, not only failed to achieve classless, stateless societies, but have instead drifter further and further away from their supposed goal the longer they've been in existence.

The future, the actual future, is left communism. Leninism is an infantile disorder.

What the fuck is the cause of this??
Why the fuck are so many prominent Youtube Leftist now making videos about Fuentes that are either positive or (at best) begrudingly amused by his antics???
Seriously I feel like this is fucking nuts for what is obviously the rising face of post Trump Fascism in America and all these idiots are just fucking laughing at it.
It's like how people on left laughed at Trump in early 2016 primary for shitting on the Bush's and the Clintons; we've seen this all fucking before.
And everyone is just normalizing him, everyone is just so myopically obsessed with Trump that critiques from his right, from Nazis mad him for not literally building fucking gas chambers, is somehow accepted into the broad tent.
Why the fuck is no one even bothering to deconstruct his ideology?
Why are none the channels that churn out 4 hour fucking video essays bothering to explain the internal contradictions???
