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
Fr fr. Good people (by which I mean me and people I like) should carry. Fascists should be disarmed. But people always get weapons. Always. Libs only disarm themselves really. And they arm cops. This sort of liberal shit is why the KPD fought succdems btw
Until it was too late. And then Thälmann tried to make peace with the socdems and they didn't listen and so proved the name "social fascists" very seriously.
Fuck Kissinger btw. He's intelligent as fuck and if he had only been a class traitor he might have helped the KPD. Know why Mao didn't kill him? Because he's a loser (read: bourgeois winner, terrifying human being) and his class will lose
Kissinger isn't afraid of death, folks. It accomplishes nothing unless a means to an end. Kissinger is a demon. Mao was an angel
I don't recommend RAF style actions unless 100% necessary. Except as a cool suicide method. Think bigger and faster. I do happen to think that shit was cool though. Cooler than anything I've ever done
What's the bourgeois playground story? We all have our vices and waste time occasionally. E.g. wasted 12 years of my life (18-30) and post on R(ddot because it's fun. Comrade Black is younger than me iirc
2.) no, I did not “blow up a swingset”
my "I did not blow up a swingset" t-shirt has people asking lots of questions already answered by my shirt
nah, I'm repeating that just because it sounds funny as shit to me, I can hear the dramatic air quotes in that sentence
I believe it because I've seen the video and he's grinning like the cat that swallowed the canary.
America deserved 5/7
Fuck yeah drag em. I got a fuckhuge serious post about Gonzalo in the works. Drafted on my phone for now
They're talking about his war on a literal, actual playground for little kids that he actually bombed.
Imagining believing checks notes Dr. Phil over checks phone a literal Maoist who goes outside. We all have brain fades but seriously?
P.S. idgaf if he did bomb a playground tbh. Wouldn't have killed anyone, TV psychiatrist would have mentioned that!
lmao since when? I've heard him complain about gonzalites harassing him constantly
He upholds Gonzalo because he's an MLM. The ideology itself was developed by Gonzalo, so an MLM who doesn't uphold Gonzalo makes as much sense as an ML who doesn't uphold Lenin.
Maybe I confused him with someone else? I thought I read a piece from him where he defended Gonzalo.
but Gonzalo himself was based in his time and you should read him. The movements in South America inspired by the PCP are good to study as well.
Yeah, see, this is where I have to part from him. There's nothing to gain from studying Gonzalo except to study failure and monstrosity. He created a death cult and ordered massacres of the peasants he and his group were supposed to be organizing.
but it’s still mischaraziation to conflate him with being an MLMpM who just constantly talks about Gonzalo
I didn't say that he did, I said that he upholds them, and while I might have been wrong about that, he does at least defend them. I remember that the piece of his that I read cited the charge of SP "boiling babies" as an example of a ridiculous anticommunist myth, and stopped reading. SP did execute young children, and they did torture people with boiling water, and while they didn't actually do those two things at the same time, it still seemed like a horrible example to use as ridiculous and unbelievable anticommunist lies.
Gonzalo himself was based in his time and you should read him
:blob-no-thoughts:
He absolutely does uphold Gonzalo. All MLMs uphold Gonzalo. You don't have to be an MLMpM to uphold him. The main difference is the same way both the Communist Party of Cuba and the Worker's Party of Korea uphold Kim Il Sung, but only the Worker's Party of Korea actually build their party line and ideology based on Kim Il Sung's writings. His particular pre-party formation using writings by Joma instead of Gonzalo is like how the Communist Party of Vietnam uses writings by Ho instead of Mao.
It is good that the PCP existed, it is good that Chairman Gonzalo looked around at the state of his country and, out of love of his country and people, risked his life and sacrificed his freedom to organize his students and other masses to transform it through force of arms. Excesses and errors aside, his struggle and the struggle of his comrades in arms who sacrificed their lives breathed life into the Communist project at what was termed by many “the end of history” and “the end of Communism”.
Yeah, some petty bourgeois settler professor and his gang of settler college students enacting a reign of terror on the Indigenous peasantry is hardly something worth emulating. Compare them with the MRTA, which at least tried to incorporate Indigenous people into their struggle and centered the texts of a Peruvian Marxist as their guiding ideology. I don't know enough about MRTA to say whether they were genuinely good or had other major flaws, but as far as not enacting a reign of settler terror and reproducing settler colonialism, they had the Gonzaloites beat. Or consider the EZLN, where the majority of its members are Indigenous even with settler members like Marcos. They have successfully decolonized parts of Chiapas from the settler colony of Mexico. There's a reason why the EZLN is still around and the PCP is not.
Peru is a settler colony like the US and Mexico. Just because it doesn't look like a typical Anglo settler colony like the US or Australia doesn't mean it isn't one as well. Being a settler colony means the primary contradiction of settler colonialism has to be dealt with first. The contradiction of settler colonialism is only resolved with either the complete extermination of the Indigenous population ie genocide or the overthrow of the settler regime and land stewardship returned to the Indigenous population ie land back. The Gonzaloites absolutely did nothing on the front of returning land to the Indigenous population. If anything, they arguably did their own ultra-leftist brand of cultural genocide by banning Indigenous ceremonies in the areas they controlled. It's just more settler colonial bullshit.
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.
Learn from Gonzalo. If you find yourself doing a Lucanamarca, ask for help.
My advice to people like this (good line + sadism) is to grow up and punch upwards. Make it count. Understanding power and not being sadistic are good actually. That's why Gonzalo and Kissinger were effective
Unit 731 is Human Nature without Schopenhauer and Marx. Kissinger is his class and he wouldn't work in Guantanamo Bay for free. He would nuke any city if he though it would further his goals
Read about John von Neumann. Basically Kissinger but smarter (bourgeois, understood things)
You may have walked into an internet struggle session. I accidentally* summoned him. I'll just observe
*fr didn't mean to and damn Comrade Black shows up fast
Fwiw I don't go around defending SP excesses. Neither does Black Redguard. That's why I said his takes are outstanding
I remember him having some weird takes but I also don't want to go look them up...
Understandable but I don't remember them. I acknowledge that this is annoying, lol
Is this the guy from Dr Phil?
And wasn’t there another Maoist who was an eviction lawyer or something?
BayArea415 was some kind of corporate lawyer, I dont recall specifically what kind but it was more settlements, inter-corporation negotiation shit, contract whatever, rather than evictions.
He hasn't been active since late 2021 though due to being doxed(bad idea to make your online handle your general location) and receiving death threats as well as persistent impersonation campaigns apparently.
bad idea to make your online handle your general location
that wasn't what got him doxxed
despite the performative opsec paranoia, he posted extremely doxxable information on his reddit account, that he continued to use when he became a youtuber and never deleted ityeah he was
hornycommunist on main, pretty much a self-ownI just always heard that referenced as just a basic "narrow down" kind of thing, combined with him identifying himself as a lawyer.
Didn't know that he got caught by the most classic opsec blunder.
IMO, we need a mix of people with different tendencies and focuses to create change in the Western world, so I welcome all comrades. Even if they had a funny appearance on a TV show.
I'm a left unity enjoyer too. I just happen to be a hard left enjoyer more
"It's later than you think" -- Black Redguard ca. 2015. Truer now
Not sure about the eviction lawyer but that fucking rules. I saw BR on Dr Phil 5+ years ago, my recollection isn't perfect. Seen a lot of his videos but not recently
None of my public posts reflect upon Black Redguard or anyone else except me. Also I'm LARPing 24/7
