He used to be on YouTube. Maybe still is. But I would not consider him (unhealthily) paranoid if not.

Brave as fuck whether online or outside. Like David Rovics. Black Maoists in the US are fucking hardcore. The US kills people for being either, let alone both

      This is plainly untrue, this is like saying all MLs uphold Pol Pot

      Most MLs don't go around writing obituaries when Pol Pot kicked the bucket because he was a genocidal piece of shit. Yet despite the fact that most MLMs apparently don't uphold Gonzalo, you see countless articles and tweets, from BRG to the CPP's official website to a bunch of Irish Maoists, all giving their two cents about how the death of Chairman Gonzalo is a complete tragedy. This is a very strange way of not upholding someone.

      Just because most Maoists consider Joma a better leader, role model, writer, and so on than Gonzalo doesn't mean they don't uphold Gonzalo as well. You don't have to carry around giant portraits of Gonzalo to uphold him. Almost all MLs uphold Luxemburg and Sankara even if most MLs don't go around carrying portraits of them both or even read their works. Non-MLMpM Maoists definitely think Gonzalo is flawed, but in the typical "70% right, 30% wrong" that they say for people who attract more controversy like Mao.

      Yes certainly every maoist currently fighting in India and the Phillipines take a minute out of their day to support fucking Gonzalo, that seems very real and very true

      The CPP's website on Gonzalo's death: Revolutionary salute to Abimael ‘Comrade Gonzalo’ Guzman! How is this not upholding Gonzalo? Compare that article to the one where Joma passed away. It's the same general laudatory tone. Whether the individual Maoist thinks Gonzalo is cool or not isn't particularly relevant because they belong to a party that does. Maoists aren't anarchists. They have a party line to uphold and that party line upholds Gonzalo, so they uphold Gonzalo as well.
