After the Gen-Z screeching in Bangladesh, Indonesia, Nepal, it is now happening in King Julian's fief, MADAGASCAR. The whole package, with the One Piece cringe and all…
From Reuters:
''ANTANANARIVO, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Security forces fired teargas to disperse hundreds of young protesters in Madagascar's capital who took to the streets again on Tuesday despite the president's decision to partly yield to their demands by dissolving the government.
Andry Rajoelina went on state television late on Monday and said he wanted to create room for dialogue with young people pressing for access to water and an end to power cuts, and promised measures to support businesses affected by looting.''
''In a message on the protest movement's Facebook page, some of the protest organisers said they were disappointed by his speech and demanded an apology from him and the now dismissed prime minister, as well as the firing of Antananarivo's administrator.
Others went further, waving placards with messages such as "We need water, we need electricity, Rajoelina out", footage of protesters marching in the capital Antananarivo, broadcast on the privately owned broadcaster Real TV Madagasikara, showed.''
Leftypol scholars, what do you think? Lumpen-rioting, based proletarian revolution, or CIA-colour revolution?
Socialism in Madagascar is being brutally attacked by EU and State department deepstate Demonkkkrat funded lumpen reactionaries in a color revolution. The timing is very strange and coincidental (for reasons I can't explain). Uncritical """support""" for whoever (I don't know - still have to check the wikipedia page) is leading Madagascar.
Also did you know Madagascar trades with China and Russia? (No I don't know how much) And probably recognizes Palestine? This proves the protesters are zionist lumpen mercenaries funded by western NGOs trying to topple Madagascar's multipolarista anti-imperialist government.
Remember protesting against

Lumpen-rioting, based proletarian revolution, or CIA-colour revolution?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Spring>Since the early 2020s, a series of mostly youth-led anti-government protests and uprisings have spread across South and Southeast Asia, with several leading to massive reforms and regime change. These protests began as a response to widespread corruption, nepotism, economic inequality and mismanagement, authoritarianism, and democratic backsliding.[1][2] The term "Asian Spring" has been unofficially coined to describe these events, citing their similarities to the Arab Spring, though "Asian Uprising", "Gen-Z protests", and "Gen-Z revolutions" have also been used. The protests started with the Sri Lankan Uprising, the popular "Aragalaya", then spread to other Asian countries including Bangladesh, Nepal, Indonesia, Philippines and Timor-Leste.[3][4][5][6][7]
>The protests have been notable for the leading role taken by Generation Z, especially students, with social media playing a key role in organizing resistance and spreading their message.[8][9][10][11] Several affected governments enacted social media bans as a result.[12][13][14] Symbols in popular culture, such as the flag of the Straw Hat Pirates from the Japanese manga series One Piece, have been adopted by protestors across Asia to support their cause.[15][16][17] Governments were overthrown in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Nepal;[18] while protests in Indonesia and Timor-Leste achieved reversals of unpopular policies.[19][20][21] Mass protests are ongoing in the Philippines.[22][23][24] In Myanmar, government crackdowns against pro-democratic demonstrations have led to the present-day civil war between the ruling junta and several major insurgencies.[25][26][27] Due to the heavy-handed response and violent suppression by government forces, there have been mass arrests and thousands of deaths.[28][29][30][31] >>2504478Protesting in favor of water and electricity access (basic bitch stuff socialist revolutionaries having been fighting for and running on in dozens of places) isn't even close to vague statements about
>Assad/[Villain of the Month] has to go! Being repeated ad nauseam for 10 years straight.
The premise of a colour revolution is the government being vaguely "corrupt" and having to "go" no matter what, with any material compromise or local power sharing being deemed unacceptable and rejected outright, and protest leaders demanding national governments immediately step down or surrender to the opposition.
>>2504492NATO associated NGO led protests making use of the same discontent they sowed during globalization to regime change or destabilize during the cold war. Is my take.
And IMO any communists trying to make this about themselves is just the classic envy of the armchair revolutionary. If anything the pattern that we are seeing this cold war is of the left, national and international being completely out of the picture, having nearly no effect on anything, yet frantically putting out statements as matter of dogma and unsubtly implying that they have a finger on the pulse of things merely by giving post-hoc rationalizations , each according to their own sect of socialism.
Frankly, as long as the left doesn't recognize their utter irrelevance and total defeat, there is no chance for anything. And none of these events will graciously deposit the will of the masses on any communists, no matter how many told-you-so's the local chapter of literal whos publishes or how scathing they are.
>>2504500Were Nepalese communists, and leaders like Chavez nepo babies too?
If people (Workers, gen z lumpen, whatever) aren't allowed to protest, riot or launch insurgencies against their anti-communist reactionary nepotistic comprador governments because that's a heckin color revolution, then what's the point of doing anything at all?
You do realize the reactoids leading Madagascar have been arresting trade unionists too for years now, right?
It's all so fucking tiresome. Same goes for the kind of people who pretend Vučić is this anti-western anti-zionist multipolarista and Serbian protesters are doing a "color revolution", but then you check and he's pro-zionist and selling weapons to Ukraine and selling out the country to western investors.
>>2504506>Regime changeFor what reason lol? What's prompting this? Did the Malagasy government try to nationalize western businesses? Are they embargoing Israel? Are they selling weapons to Russia?
The leader of the country is literally a French citizen lmao. And he was part of past governments who privatized Malagasy state industries.
Jfc the absolute state of /leftypol/ these days lmao.

Fact is: this is not a revolution that will change anything about the conditions of proles in Madagascar for the positive. The War of the Roses was not a peasant uprising!
>>2504541>Protest against inaccessible water and electricity>Implying if they succeed this wouldn't positively impact Malagasy prolesAre you for real? Numerous socialist revolutions were triggered by poverty and famine too.
>>2504536Idiotic take not worth engaging with. Actual race war/clash of civilizations nonsense.
>>2504542Socialist revolutions that happened had a political apparatus ready to replace the government, trained and heavily armed militia and a supportive civilian population.
Madagascar and all other Gen Z revolutions had none of that, which is why they voted in another Hitler when they had the opportunity to force their demands.
>>2504500this.
The 'millions in the streets' crowd do not understand that simply chimping out in the streets will not eradicate corruption and materialise infrastructure out of thin air. Too many of my third world brethren believe the country has a god given right to be Switzerland, and all we have to do is 'get rid of the corrupt officials'
while color revolutions are a real phenomena they provide a simple narrative of perfidious foreign influence that tempting to use to explain away events outside the complexity of their national and historical context. even confirmed, obvious color revolutions (and attempts at them) like ukraine, hong kong, krygystan, and georgia cant be satisfactorily explained by the simple fact of US/NATO operations and NGO complex. there is an array of local class interests, historical contradictions, and spontaneous popular action that give US imperialism a foothold to establish influence and leverage the situation to their own ends. those local class interests, historical contradictions, and spontaneous popular actions happen regardless. which isnt to say that imperialist influence doesnt change their character, but is simply saying that the world and history does not stop moving in the absence of CIA ops. any attempt at understanding the world that automatically assumes imperialist shenanigans without any knowledge of local circumstances is going to spiral more or less rapidly into vulgar conspiracism that leaves no room for the proletariat to be anything other than an optional symbol of vaguely righteous resistance to shadowy cabals, i.e. is contrary to communist politics.

>>2505168, love protests in the imperial core and defended pretty much all protests that got called color revolution by some random uninformed retards
so Im simply gonna say you guys are idiots obsessed with strawmen of your political rivals
Also the "no investigation, no right to speak" should be a board rule. That a bunch of idiots started arguing muh color revolution while there not being a single good post or article about the situation or the country is pathetic
"Color revolution" is just modern bourgeois revolution by globo capitalism for fuck sake, it's not CIA or something, but basically class contradiction.
Have you ever seen color revolution in Russia, in EU, or in modern China? It's fucking impossible, the superstructure is already capitalist, what is there to revolt for the capitalists? Such modern capitalist states can only be defeated in imperialist war such as WW1, WW2, or the latest Russia-Ukraine conflict. Even fucking Maidan was a coup with paramilitary from the West, basically an invasion. It's capitalist vs capitalist action, a war, there is nothing revolutionary there.
Meanwhile, most modern color revolution from shitholes riddled with neo-feudalism, nepotism, corruption are basically bourgeois revolution. Therefore as socialists, you don't need to support them, but don't decry them as pointless. If the aftermath of it is shit, then it's basically because capitalism nowadays is shit, not because of chimping out is shit. And not to mention chimping out can make the new rulers less arrogant than the previous rulers before.
