As you might know, gambling is banned in China. As a result, there's this degen named Zhao Wei who moved to Macau in the early 1990s. Macau was once a Western colonial outpost. Macau also became known as the Las Vegas of Asia. It was only in 1999 that it was handed over by Portugal, however like Hong Kong, the Basic Law of Macau gaurentees that its system will remain unchanged for 50 years after the handover. It has its own legal systems, seperate courts, currency, indepedent police authorties, etc. So Zhao invested in casinos there and became filthy rich. In 2001, he moved to Mong La, Myanmar where he started a casino franchise. The city started to become known a border town on the edge of the law with drugs, prostitutes, and gambling. However, since Mong La is just across the border from China in Myanmar, Chinese authorities can close the border gates and in 2005 they closed the gate and refused to let citizens cross the border there. After this travel ban, Zhao was invited by the government of Laos to invest in Bokeo Province to stay there as a special guest. He's operated out of there ever since and the Laos government has a 20% stake in the casinos, gets lease payments and taxes.

Laos is doing this out of pragmatic reasons. It's still considered one of the poorest countries in the world. In the 1960s and '70s, America dropped 270 million bombs on Laos making it the most heavily bombed country in the world. People, many of them children, are still killed to this day because of unexploded bombs. In the past decade, China actually built Laos' first modern major railway. However, one of the hardest part of the project was actually removing the American bombs that were leftover. Anyways, not only did it get bombed the fuck out by the US on a scale never seen before in history, it's also a landlocked country with mountainous terrain which makes trade and transport difficult, another reason why it was particulary hard for the CRRC to build the railway, but the train is officially in operations today.

So back in the 2000s when Laos invited Zhao, that was just another way for Laos to build revenue in the country through currency inflows and tourist revenue. They also got job creation for locals in construction, hospitality and service industries. Since gambling is banned in China, Chinese tourists go abroad to gamble which brings Post too long.

Imperialism might be less tangible but it's consequences are not. Also ways to fight it exist. Right now every single Communist, socialist, "leftist", even liberal org should pause all other projects and put full support to an anti war with Venezuela plan.
Second if queer liberation happens in the imperial core, it's not like it changes the material conditions for queer people outside of the imperial core (which far more exist), those queer people face the horrors of imperialism every day and our they less valuable than western lives? I don't think so.

I'm not even talking about ACP, just in general the western left prioritizes queer liberation, which is a valiant cause worth fighting, over imperialism the largest contradiction on the plant and as members of the imperial core we have a unique position in which to fight it.

Always thought he was underrated. And this quote is great whether he said it or not.

People give him shit because it all collapsed after he died, but then they'll go and act like the USSR was so much better when it collapsed around the very same time. Tito objectively did things wrong, but the USSR did too. Both got ratfucked by the US in the end.

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.

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).

Today begins the presidential and legislative election of the Central American of Honduras. With the left-wing Libre party, wish wishes to change the constitution to an anti-neolib and democratic socialist stance, at odds with the liberal and social conservative neoliberal bloc.
Whilst this is happening, Trump has pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking offences whilst going off about how conveniently the whole Venezuelan military high command is full of alleged drug traffickers. Honduras is of considerable strategic importance to the United States. With several U.S. Army bases situated there. Trump has also gone off about how the electorate must vote away from the Libre "communists" and vote anyone else.

Isn't Libre complaining about election fraud?


>Although Mr. Cerrato López, 62, normally backed the right-wing National Party, he said he had planned to vote for another right-wing candidate, Salvador Nasralla, who was leading by a small margin in some polls, in hopes of kicking the governing left-wing party out of office.

>But when President Trump threw his support behind the National Party’s candidate, Nasry Asfura, just days before the vote, and suggested he wouldn’t work with the other top two candidates, Mr. Cerrato López said he was surprised but pleased. He said he switched his vote to Mr. Asfura.


>And when Mr. Trump announced that he would pardon a notorious former president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, a member of Mr. Asfura’s party who was convicted last year of working with cartels to flood the United States with cocaine, Mr. Cerrato López said he was more confident in his decision because he believed Mr. Hernández had helped the military when in office.


>Mr. Mejía said that independent voters and “many” supporters of Mr. Asfura’s party had intended to vote for Mr. Nasralla because they saw him as having the best chance to end the tenure of the governing party, which includes the candidate Rixi Moncada.


>“But when they heard that about Trump, they went back to their party, and some independents started to have doubts,” he said.


>Ricardo Romero Gonzales, who runs an independent polling company in Honduras, said that based on his daily polling, Mr. Nasralla had a nine-point lead before Mr. Trump’s endorsement of Mr. Asfura. After Mr. Trump weighed in, he said, the candidates were in a virtual tie.


>Mr. Romero Gonzales said that roughly a third of Hondurans have a family member in the United States and that people thought about them when voting. He added, “People believe the country will be worse off if we are enemies of Trump.”


>Hondurans who voted for Mr. Asfura said they did so in part because they yearned for a better relationship with the United States. They said they worried that a different candidate winning could hurt Honduras, a country that relies heavily on money transfers from many undocumented migrants in the United States.

💸🧘Thread for hellish discussion of the Progressive Reich and the smug, solar-paneled hypocrisy of the California Bourgeoisie and its Proletarian Gimps.🌞🍷

<Things will continue to be a performative hellscape where every solution is a branded, venture-capitalist-backed app for a problem they created, where people who preach "sustainability" own three homes and charge their Tesla from a grid powered by fossil fuels.

The state will burn, flood, and drought simultaneously, and everyone will blame climate change while refusing to address the water-guzzling almond farms or their own lawn.

The Kurdish nationalist movement’s anti-communism

>By Cansu Oba


>A recent article published by one of the Kurdish nationalist movement’s media outlets has provided an opportunity to revisit certain aspects of the movement’s class character and ideological foundations.

>In reality, this stance is not new. Throughout Abdullah Öcalan’s years in prison, he has repeatedly produced statements and writings that target socialist experiences and the founders of scientific socialism. These have for some time been highlighted in the movement’s own media.


>What makes the current moment significant is that Öcalan is one of the central actors in an ongoing political process in Turkey. The “peace process”—carried out with the open support of the leader of the fascist party and through direct contact between Öcalan, a parliamentary commission, and state officials—has transformed the political environment. At the same time, a former co-chair and current MP of the Kurdish nationalist movement’s party, the DEM Party, declared that the party now effectively serves as the country’s main opposition. All of this signals that the emerging bourgeois political landscape provides fertile ground for the resonance between the Kurdish nationalist movement’s attacks on socialism and the bourgeois politics’ more traditional forms of anti-communism.


>Yet the PKK was never, in reality, a genuinely Marxist-Leninist organization. Founded in the late 1970s, a period in which the left dominated Turkey’s political and social arena, the PKK employed Marxist-Leninist terminology and drew from these values, but it was always, at its core, a national movement.


>Claims that Öcalan has “surpassed Marxism”—when considered together with his recent statement that he has been “waiting 50 years to be understood”—suggest a line of ideological continuity rather than a merely conjunctural shift.


>The Kurdish nationalist movement, now firmly situated somewhere between social democracy and nationalism within Turkey’s political landscape, has strengthened ties with various factions of the bourgeoisie, including some of Turkey’s most prominent capitalist families. Meanwhile, its distance from the republic’s founding prin

>“Historical materialism should replace class struggle with ‘the commune.’ It is more accurate to revise Marxism through this concept. History is not a history of class struggle but of conflict between the state and the commune.”
>“The fundamental contradiction begins with the conflict between the masculine and feminine elements in society. It does not originate from class. Marx’s class-based conflict theory is the main reason real socialism collapsed.”
>“Marx, to live with his wife, sells his coat. He says, ‘Let me write this book so it earns money and saves my marriage.’ Is this what Marxism is supposed to be?”
Daym did Öcalan really say this? is he stupid?

This is an ok analysis from what I've read so far. But I don't get these guys obsessions with "national movements" zeroing out the possibility of genuine Communist intentions. If the Kurds are oppressed, national liberation is perfectly materialist surely.

I'm tired a contrarian Turkish leftists supporting Kurdish hitlers, they're just like westoid leftists supporting brown hitlers.



 

Behold, the most useless communist party. What do these guys even do?
What the hell is going on over there in Nepal? This can extend to Sri Lanka also.

The most useless and embarrassing communist party is the Communist Party of Britain. The Labour party for bigots afraid of ever actually being adjacent to power.

>>2587046
which one?

Was this the one that China backed a monarchy against?

>>2587065
No, this is the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) which opposed the People's War. Their chairman (KP Sharma Oli) was the guy who just got kicked out of the Prime Minister position by the recent protests in Nepal.

>>2586985
>What the hell is going on over there in Nepal?
The collapse of the historic compromise between revisionist "communism" and liberalism. This isn't just limited to Nepal either. We can also see this in the collapse of "Eurocommunist" politics across Europe as revisionist Communist Parties are being banned right left and center. Their usefulness to liberalism and bourgeois "multi-party democracy" is used up, they played their role in wrecking revolutionary politics to perfection, and as capitalism heads to another general crisis liberalism is uninterested in communist politics even having a nominal presence in public life.
