Still weirds me out that there's unironic Gonzalo stans on the web
I can understand why people may be skeptical of PRC and DPRK - wtf did Cuba do? I'm always dumbfounded that Western leftists are actually willing to shit on that nation.

why? That's exactly what I expect from their material conditions of being imperialist
I don’t think nearly as many people are as skeptical about Cuba as this meme makes it seem.
Cuba was the first AES state I came around on. But there’s still a lot of focus by Reddit libs on, for example, imprisonment of gay people under Castro. Here’s an article that’s decent on the subject for anyone not familiar. I don’t think it was nearly long enough ago to say “that’s the past so get over it”. Not even close. But it does seem like Cuba has done more restorative justice work on LGBTQ rights than is usually discussed.
revisionism, adopting liberal capitalist policies (not saying i agree :meow-shining: )
How dare they adapt to survive to material conditions that have been imposed on them.
No one ever said that ultras are smart.
All they know is dogma, books, complain and sit in an armchair.
left: the communist states that conveniently no longer exist anymore are "good"
right: the communist states that actually exist, and have uplifted hundreds of millions out of poverty, and are opposed to mayo imperialism and are sanctioned by mayos, are "bad"
thinking-emoji-face
Actually incorrect because they think only the stalinist ussr, albania and maoist China were truly socialist
To be fair they think the United States is communist. But for real we seem to prefer our heroes martyred
At a glance the dichotomy sort of looks like their distance from American imperialism
Gonzalo was a friendless loser, who is only liked by white Canadian 20 year olds who think spray paint is revolutionary.
if Gonzalo was a friendless loser how did he get all those people to #BoilBabiesforGonzalo and the unending admiration of white 14 year old Canadian kids who think throwing rocks at their boomer neighbors window is protracted people's war
With each swingset we blow up, the People's War gets closer to victory
#BoilBabiesforGonzalo
me, naive: "I wonder what the glowie radlibs at Hexbear are posting about today...oh"
Who are the people that glow in the dark? You know, the ones you hit with your car. Can never remember the word Terry Davis used for some reason. Weird
The left side says Mao was 100% correct. The right side says Mao was 70% correct. As a true centrist, I believe Mao was 85% correct.
tfw mao threw deng and deng's oldest son in prison for revisionism (who was thrown out of a window and became a paraplegic) and deng still adopted mao zedong thought as an official policy :picard-troll:
insert the shut yo goofy ass up meme that I'm too lazy to make
It's almost like Deng was a committed communist and that the re-education he went through worked.
I found a LOT of Gonzalites in fucking r*ddit.
Hell, we even have @Gonzalo and the mods haven't listened to my ban request.
Edit: they aren't a gonzalite, but the name tho. Just change it, dude
It's not like bans actually impede anyone from making a new account. But yeah
lmao their post history is filled with anti-gonzalo memes, that rocks.
Critical support for Bordiga? Very impressive he punched nazis all the way from his armchair.
He actually Got captured by the SS at once stage and spent the interrogation proving mathematically that the Germans were going to lose the war
I think people who actually are MLs know that you look back on current and past socialist projects and apply things that did work and can work by utilizing them in your society. Almost like socialism is scientific or something.
His name was Abimael, I hate that this little piece of shit took the same amazing name my mom gave me and just fucking destroyed it.
