Sahel confederation is an objectively progressive move

Credible for now, I wouldn't get your hopes up tho

We recently held a CPI rally in support of Dr. Ibrahim Traore in Rockford, Illinois. Dr traore also sent messages of congratulations and praise to the esteemed comrade leader Dr. Caleb T. Maupin, and told him to keep up the good work, spreading the word of innovationism, and expressed the hope that Innovationist institutions would one day be opened up for Burkinabers to study works like: Jesus Was A Socialist and the Kamala Files

He's a good marketer given that people here seriously believe all the bullshit annoucements about how they are building nuclear plants and automotive factories and socialism or whatever. He's probably better than the last dude I'll give him that but the bar is underground

here before he gets gaddafie'd

even my apolitical black coworkers in the USA know who Traore is and what he's doing. Amazing things are happening in burkina faso

Getting killed by another ** isn't getting "gaddafie'd"

lol more than half of that shit isnt even coming from the burkinabe government its just random african instagram accounts posting shit

>>2401787
far superior to the french neocolonial government that came before. its nice theyre finally officially honoring sankara but thats just my sentimentality. besides that it is very hard to reliably get accurate news out of burkina faso without reading french and i cant read french

Great aims, african juche

Mumbai click farmers found engagement by presenting Traore as like Mr. Beast if he was a paratrooper who seized power in a coup, and there's a lot of stuff about how he's going to make Afro Money, but I don't know if he actually said that. People just post a picture of him and things they claim he said. Some account will say he turned down IMF loans, however:

There are A.I. slop accounts of R. Kelly and Rihanna singing "God Protect Ibrahim Traore." It's incredible.

Not knocking tomato processing factories, but the reason why those accounts are getting such engagement on it is an interesting question. I tend to think it results from some feeling of enervation. A lot of people are dealing with inflation.

Yes.

National liberalism allied with Russia. Good for them I guess.

>Is he a credible anti-imperialist actor?
More like alternative imperialist puppet.

<tfw not a happy old korean man eating sweets and drinking potato wine oh oh oh potato :(
Forever favorite DPRK-Pop track by far. Others come and go but the potato pride is solid.

daily reminder that in marxlingo "historically progressive" does not mean "considered woke by imperial core liberals" but rather simply means "accelerating history towards the resolution of present systemic contradictions"

In short; Yes.

>>2401787
Oh, i'm surprised nobody mentioned it but apparently he was a delegate for ANEB, Marxist National Association of Students of Burkina Faso during his time in university.

Burkina "The BBC" Traore is historically progressive. He WILL proletarianize the peasantoids

>>2401787
The fact that he and the other members of the AES are kicking out French colonialists and nationalising their businesses while collaborating with local tribal militias should at least be enough to give him critical support at the very least.

Apparently they are losing village after village to ISIS

>>2402742
ISIS is peak US Government efficiency

>critical support
Why do online communist losers pretend they have any power or that their opinions on topics matter or can affect anything lmao

>>2402194
you're a retard

Thorn in the side of French Imperialism, and improving infrastructure and nationalising resources/ economy is a good start.

Complacency with some more reactionary elements in his cabinet (the ones that tried to pass anti LGBTQ laws) fucking sucks though.

Overall, he's no Sankara or EFF member, but helping the AES industrialise and modernise when they've had a history of deliberate under-development at the hands of European/American imperialists is a good step in the right direction.
