    I really don't like this radlib, not going to give him a view. Let me guess, "evil red fash tankies shouldn't be pledging their undying loyalty to putler's regime like they're all unequivocally stating everywhere without exception". Yawn, the compatible left glows on. We like dead nazis and thwarting the imperial hegemon's ambitions, critical support for those who accomplish it, but it doesn't change the fact that Russia still needs a new October. Paul is certainly just inventing a straw man to feed his hogs and nurse some left-anticommunist contrarian grievance obsession.

        “Maoist” as in an MLM? Which communist governments or movements does he hold up as worthy of support? The problem I end up running into with certain Maoist groups is that they tend to be dogmatic to a degree that none of the people in their acronym ever were and all three of which actively wrote and spoke against that type of dogmatism. And I’m nothing resembling an expert but it seems to be a failure of the the theory itself (that is the theory synthesized by Gonzalo, who himself got so wrapped up in his dogmatic ideas that he ended up ordering atrocities and alienating the people he meant to help, thereby failing to take state power in a Peru where it was ripe for taking).
