Hello!
Hope we had(or will have) a good convo. Online arguments must be useful, right?

  • So different increments with different groups?

    And Che was not the leader, but Fidel, right?
    And wasn’t it anti-imperialist/anti-colonialist in nature, which gave them lot of local support?

    I’ve read some quote/excerpt by Che or so about how local support is what is important for irregular forces.

    “Hurr wut about the drones and tanks murica fuck yeah f22 m16” Well maybe not that exactly, but thats the gist.

    They have a point tho. Unless your org has physical means, wouldn’t that be an issue? Or/And you’d have to a portion of such forces sympathetic to your movement.
    Still needs incremental public support, right?

    that’s what oppressors want all oppressed to think, that its futile to resist, especially outside whatever rules they set up.

    I agree with that, but I think they also encourage infighting and adventurism so that things would never advance into a mass support level.

    I don’t know much about USAmerican politics, but isn’t most of black votes with the Dems? And incase of anti-slavery stuff, isn’t the Rep president Lincoln famous about the topic? Though, I think it was more about the secession.

    So I think it not might be just hate or resentment, but different pov’s(which maybe right or wrong). I do agree with material interests aspect of groups tho.

    US revolution had 30%

    Would there be a similar amount of supporters for one in USA now?
    And weren’t that lead by USAmerican capitalists who had amassed resources? For a similar thing, wouldn’t the people planning to do the same, need the same?
    Mass support would be very important there, right? Where the people support the resource acquisition?

    And I’m not too well-versed on theory, so maybe I’m confused with the term incrementalism. Maybe it’d be better to call it more along lines of “Ground setting”.

    West German flag. So that’s what I drew. Only years later my parents told me that they had subsequently been summoned by the school and had to explain that it was nothing more sinister than that - a child drawing a picture of something they had seen.

    That seems like a normal response.
    I’m from India and if a child suddenly drew and submitted a Pak flag for an assignment, teachers would be alarmed.

    What are some positives and negatives you saw in those countries?

    It’d also be very cool if you could share how the education there is like?

    I don’t know if either of you have ever lived in a Marxist-Leninist country (as in lived, not just visited). I was born in one. I lived in another for five years. I’ve seen the before and after, first-hand.

    Could you please name those countries? And share your experiences, if possible? Were they not Marxist?
