Why dont you archive old.reddit.com links instead?
Nationalism certainly plays a big role in oppressed nations, and its very different from nationalism in imperialist countries. Carl Zha has a good video where his Indonesian wife talks about that.
Maybe you have the wrong idea what being a communist means. To be honest I only joined my party about half a year ago, but most of what we do in our colectivo is studying and organising. Plus sometimes hanging posters or going to a demonstration. But it certainly doesnt mean attacking the police or crazy things like that.
Yes definitely, its something thats almost impossible to avoid in capitalist countries unless you somehow have leftist friends, family and coworkers. And as communists, our main task is educating and agitating other people, which seems difficult if everyone around you has the same ideology. There are many people who dont care much about politics, but are open to certain solutions that we propose.
My view is the opposite of that, humanity has a bright future in the long term. The video doesnt recognise this at all. Instead for the creators its easier to imagine the end of the world, than imagining the end of capitalism. Though I only made it to minute 12 for that reason, let me know if it gets better later.
When you put that many people with weapons in one place, its really likely that some kind of violence is gonna happen. But I’m even more surprised that the government doesnt even bother to get decent housing and food for the people who are supposed to protect it. That is a great recipe for rebellion.
