Welcome again to everybody! Make yourself at home. Feel free to marvel at our stockpile of high-tech spy balloons. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
We have our own Matrix homeserver at https://genzedong.org, and a Matrix space; see this thread for more information.
Short reading list for new MLs here. To find theory (and other books), you can use z-lib, libgen, or Sci-Hub (for scientific articles). If an article is unavailable, try the Wayback Machine.
not to vaguepost but im not dealing with someone who ran a dedicated political memes account so anyways.
im begging, begging on my knees asking for non-USian people to not let social media turns them to an american. internationalism is encouraged, but your primary focus must always be the wellbeing of the masses you can work with. to say this a little harshly, WHY ARE YOU MAKING MEMES ABOUT THE CPUSA YOURE LITERALLY INDONESIAN. YOU SHOULD BE COMPLAINING ABOUT CIPAYUNG. GO JOIN A FUCKING ORG YOUR COMRADES ON THE GROUND ARE BREAKING THEIR BACKS JUST TO ORGANIZE A SMALL PROTEST.
I personally keep an eye out for US madness for one big reason - it is the shape of things to come in my country. Our leadership and ruling class is very blatantly copying Yankee shit. Yanks have privatised healthcare? Let’s have a privatised healthcare. Yanks have jingoistic Christian-based nutjobs? Let’s have those.
Oh yes, this is something I do too. I won’t fault anyone for doing this. But the problem comes when its the only thing you do. What’s the use of all those analysis if you dont discuss it with other comrades and make an actionable plan and commit to it? It’s also a problem when you get too invested on western leftist infighting you barely know whats going on in your own country. Now that is just tacky and embarrasing.
