More like "I'm really mad he didn't pass me the ball that one time so I will use the immortal science of Marxist Leninism to demonstrate why being a ball hog is a twelfth type of liberalism"
I think people underestimate how much of a Marxist-Leninist committee-loving guy Che was. Read his diaries, even in the Congo he is always holding committees and not just for utility. The man truly believed in all parts of the ideology, not just direct action. It is really dorky sometimes, and in the best way
My favorite struggle session thus far is the one I accidentally started about olive oil.
that one happened over multiple platforms, it was a beautiful one to witness
didn't it start in the 3rd international discord?

i don't even know if they were arguing politics, cooking, or both
We were just talking about cooking and in the discord it was a light hearted bit, but when I posted about it here suddenly everyone got very serious about it.
Yah know it is funny, I'm reading a history of the Russian Revolution right now, and for every account of like a cool march or occupation or soldiers defecting from the front, there's like 10 accounts of "Lenin and Trotsky had a meeting where they planned to have another meeting with some other Russian guy so they could plan their meeting with the Soviet so they could organize a committee..."
Jesus Christ that shit sounds more exhausting than adventurism! Can I please just blow something up I can't take any more Committees to form Committees on Committees!!!
I'd like to volunteer to go down to the country please, this Party post is giving me hypertension. Can I work on a pig farm?
Castro will never invent the two step pep pep bastketballl schlep
in retrospect, maybe this should've been posted to the dunk tank
Che was just salty Fidel kept mopping the floor with him during their one-on-ones.
writing in my journal that i'm absolutely NOT MAD that I keep getting styled on
“Che, mijo. Step your game up. You’re already on S and it’s only been 5 minutes! Three more strikes before you get A, N, and O!”
World-class Cuban healthcare arose out of a need to repair all the ankles Castro broke on the way to the basket.

Glad to see the "are women bourgeois?"-type discourse predates the modern left.
In Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth (1961), the lumpenproletariat of the colony, as ex-peasants displaced by the introduction of capitalist relations of production in agriculture, carry the kernel of the peasantry’s anti-colonial culture to the cities, where they play a crucial role in the emerging revolutionary nationalist movement. In the United States in the 1960s–1970s, the Black Panther Party postulated that the African American lumpenproletariat could, because of the racial and economic histories of American capitalism, be organized as a revolutionary agent.
"I can fix her"
I'm imagining Fidel playing like a Harlem Globetrotter, showboating while Che is just trying to play pickup basketball
damn bros my basketball skills lead me to believe i'm revolutionary as fuck
