/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

Like really. I watched it with my normie lib family on two separate occasions, and they all agreed that it was 1. a great screenplay 2. that people should be doing that shit irl

Bourgeois psyop slop recuperating and mixing retarded adventurists like the weather underground and serious revolutionaries such as the black panthers.

>I don't know why so many communists seem to hate this movie
>I watched it with my normie lib family on two separate occasions, and they all agreed
You answered your own question friendo. But I haven't watched the movie tho so idk

Do you mean to say that many western 'communists' are more concerned with aesthetics and ironically want the movement to remain in obscurity so they can feel special?

>>2743021
Okay, well what about the times when black panthers like Jonathan Jackson went on the offense, or when the weather underground and BLA broke Assata Shakur out of prison? It sounds like you are the one who is ignorant to the history of these things.

>>2743065
No I mean that aestheticized hollywood activismslop may appeal to liberal, but communists don't care for it, because they are not liberals.
Might still be a decent movie tho, I wouldn't know

The idea that a Western radical leftist group could be anywhere near this competent is more unrealistic than Marvelslop. The French 75 are obviously taking inspiration from groups like the SLA and Weather Underground, but they’re portrayed with a level of effectiveness that borders on fantasy. In reality they’d be lucky to take out someone above a low level official and more likely, they’d botch a bombing, take themselves out in the process or get shot and rounded up the moment they tried to go toe-to-toe with anyone actually armed

Cryptofascist garbage that uses the aesthetics of anarchists to promote globalist idpol

I hated this movie. I hate you little 'PTA' fanboy redditoid goyslop loving race-fetishists.
Become an hero.

>>2743082
is the globalist idpol in the room with you right now?
>>2743074
Yeah, it is unrealistic, which kinda deviates from Algiers in that that film was procedural and based in the legacy of the FLN, but a film doesn't have to be realistic to be good.
>>2743093
rent free. I never said it was truly great film or anything, just fun to watch and possibly radicalizes libs.

>which kinda deviates from Algiers in that that film was procedural and based in the legacy of the FLN
Algiers was the opposite of this. Although the FLN initially used some of the tactics shown in the movie, they quickly abandoned them because those methods kept leading to members being caught, arrested, and interrogated, resulting in even more arrests. Instead the FLN succeeded through a slower war of attrition, drawing their enemy into fruitless pursuits in the desert or across neighboring Libya and Tunisia, waiting for them to turn back, and then shooting back, whether targeting soldiers or vehicles, before retreating and repeating the process all over again.

It “radicalizes” the libs to anarchism and/or Nazism (more liberalism) by presenting a mixture of both distilled to their radical liberal ideal: terrorists killing people and releasing random prisoners for the sake of idpol like the blackshirts did

>>2743177
Oh, thank you I didn't know that. Regardless, it was at least more realistic than the PTA in terms of organizational capacity of the FLN at the time versus the Rebellion in the movie compared to the current and historical state of the western left.

PTA hasn't done anything really good since he stopped doing drugs.

Though different in presentation the Battle of Algiers and OBAA share the same fundamental view of conflict, a Western university student or activist’s idea of war, where being revolutionary enough or having the right principles means you can defeat any Army. In reality the men who win wars are usually far removed from that ideal. In the Algerian War, for example, many of the winning leaders of the FLN were Francophile Army officers who ironically did more to Francify Algeria than the French themselves.

i really liked the message of the movie that even simple things like raising your kids to be good persons can be revolutionary acts, and also that sometimes the bravest and most meaningful acts can also be very small, like for example the mexican kids warning everyone that the radioman was kidnapped, the nurses that got bob into a hospital after being arrested and allowing him to escape, etc…

Even if you dont agree with the political stuff, its a very well filmed and acted movie.

>>2743352
agreed, those were my favorite parts

Uighur that's just liberalism
