Nasser the famous bourgeois revolutionary
For all his faults (like persecuting communists), he was the best president we had to this day, and the living standards for people back then was much better than now (not including the war periods). everyone else since then has been their own flavor of shit.
Do you know much about the hepatitis c epidemic and its connection to mass antischistosomal treatment?
Sorry to just dump this question on you, but I can only find information from a medical and public health perspective online. I’ve only searched the English language Internet.
I’m just really curious about the politics behind this
I don’t know much about this topic, but I’ll try my best. I’ll reply to you again when I find something relevant.
Thank you very much for getting back to me. I appreciate it.
hey i’m sorry i kinda forgot about this. i did look it up and found some articles and studies about this. i’ll send them to you when i find them again.
Was Liu Shaoqi a right-deviationist or a true revolutionary? Either way I don’t think he deserved what happened to him, but I also don’t know much about the guy and what he believes or what got him the name of “capitalist-roader”
Liu Shaoqi was one of the veteran revolutionaries within the CPC. He aligned with Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping. He was called a capitalist roader for despising the cultural revolution.
Thank you for your answer, I do have more questions though: So did he believe in allowing more private enterprise in China, or was that not really Deng’s thing until after Mao died? And what was Mao’s opinion of him?
the cultural revolution was very based tho
Fidel Castro backgroun: Before the overthrow of Baltista (if the spelling is correct), Fidel Castro did not associated with Communism even when there was a Communist Party in Cuba before the Communist period. The Communist Party at that time aligned with USSR and is one of the major player to free Cuba from puppet tyrant rule of European immigrant colonizers, but the Communist Party is revisionary and oppose the violent regime change despite the brutality of Baltista. Fidel only decided to align with Communism when he realized that he need the support of USSR to defend the democracy in his country against the USA who want democracy to exist in name only.
I could be wrong, but from what I read from a biography of Che Guevara, he and Castro were both communists or communist-sympathizers from when they first met. Castro just kept it more on the down low so that the U.S. wouldn’t be as eager to help Batista.
Yeah, from what I understand, he always sympathized with communism but was also smart enough to not espouse it openly until he knew he could firmly defend the revolution. He actually got quite a bit of support from the US in overthrowing Batista, which made them all the more pissed when they found out they had actually been helping a communist.
