Prior to the Indonesian genocide of the 1960s, where the CIA installed a military dictatorship that the lives of millions, the country’s communist party technically did warn about the peril. The problem was that this warning had been made in a reactive way, and therefore wasn’t nearly enough to prepare the people to fight back.
Not Shea 😩

Of course, he’s a sectarian right deviationist.

I agree, but Shea’s only proposal is to work with the right on Ukraine.

I agree. Abby seems relatively decent from what i've seen, though also just saying everything's a psyop and she doesn't know who to trust.

Shea's a patsoc because he denounces national liberation for the black nation, and supports working with reactionary organizations.
>What does this tell us about how to proceed? For those of us who are already involved in the pro-Russian orgs which exist outside “leftism,” such as CPI and PCUSA, it means we need to build connections between ourselves and our local unions. For the majority of the people who are reading this, though, and who are involved in the broader class struggle, one’s likely role in this effort is different. It’s not necessarily becoming part of these orgs, and establishing those ties between them and the unions. Unless you feel seriously compelled to do that, which would of course be good, what you can instead do is make it harder for the opportunists to isolate the anti-imperialists. As in nurture a culture within labor organizing which isn’t susceptible to the sectarian divisions that opportunist orgs, such as PSL, seek to make normal within the broader workers movement.
CPI is just absurd "maga communism," and PCUSA are anti-dialectical settler chauvinists.
The Deprogram should've never invited Konstantin.

That’s fair, here’s a more specific link about him shifting rightward on national liberation for black people in the US: https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/1074763
I know the article, and I don’t know what to do with it. Sectarian, but maybe true.

Idk whom you are saying does this, but I will say specifically pcusa is into pettybourgeois alliances and irrelevant historical parallels, but consider MZT "ultra left" (of course the right deviationists will only punch left).

Pretty sure they are fans of dependency theory. How does it delegitimize national liberation in North America (I have personally not read Amin or Wallerstein)?
