HOW ARE WE DOING YALL?? I Know a lot of yall are going through it rn. NO CRACKERS ALLOWED, THEY WILL BE SHOT ON SIGHT
Hi everyone, just popping in this update for Mem’s fundraiser, they need $363 more for movers and cleaners as they need to vacate their current living situation by the end of the month! Thank you all for the support
Apparently in christmas day chuds spend all day infighting about demanding trump and elon to fire and deport all indian people
It’s ok for literally everyone to be racist against Indians. Out in the open. Just say the wildest thing imaginable, as if you’re some fucking Victorian colonialist or mimicking ante-bellum speech, and people will just nod. Not even confined to chud or libs. It’s insane.
Now, of course, fuck Elon and Vamaswami, but jesus christ, at some point people need to realize being this hateful against people from the most populous country in the world doesn’t make a healthy world and literally every fiber of morality you hold dear, whether it’s political, racial, dietary, etc. means nothing if you’re such a racist piece of shit.
I’ll say, it’s funny seeing them in real time put 2 and 2 together. They truly believed we’re a meritocracy because they saw white people succeed and that was enough for them. Now they’re told the same things they said about minorities, white people aren’t good enough. I love it

Then you’re all kinds of “counter-revolutionary”, “comprador”, “segregationist”, “genocide enthusiast”( thanks Horsh, never gonna let go of what happened to Prof. Flowers on my life), or my personal favorite, the one I’ve been called more times by white people on this site than any site I’ve ever been on, “black supremacist”.
Then they wonder why I have so little faith in them that I don’t even regard a ‘left’ in this nation that isn’t predominantly Black or Indigenous.
It’s especially bullshit because the closest we’ve gotten to an actual communist revolution in the US was the Black Panther Party. Hell, that might even be the closest we’ve gotten to any sort of leftwing revolution in the first world along with the IRA. Both movements were directly opposed by whites in North America and by basically everyone in Europe. Not even the Red Army Faction in Germany had the momentum of the Panthers, despite using way more violence.
Then there’s the Nation of Islam, which obviously was reactionary and not leftist. You could probably even make the argument it was black supremacist. The NoI still did more for civil rights in this country than any group of whites ever has or ever will. Even things white leftists take for granted were done by the NoI.

when someone calls me a supremacist
If they’re calling you a supremacist they have no idea what anything approaching a “black supremacist” really looks like. Was reminded of this exact thing, aside from interactions with hotep family members over the holidays, from FD Signifier’s drake beef coverage; paraphrasing “Aubrey didn’t mention any of Kendrick’s 5 Percenter connections that would be better fuel because he literally doesn’t know about this stuff, he doesn’t understand it at all”. The idea of white hexbears calling anyone here “black supremacist” lmao
the concept of ‘critical support’ goes RIGHT out the window
“Critical Support” means “if I say this you can’t criticize me”. There’s hardly any actual critical support - it’s either completely uncritical jerking over orthodox opinions, or vague signaling towards “support” that crumbles immediately (actually the usual thinly veiled white racist bullshit.)

I had hella radical family members during the heyday of BPP, but like all things Amerikan, that kinda melted away to aesthetics
now that I can’t ask her, what she saw
Always how it is huh. Had uncles who were with the BPP in Chicago, were friends with Muhammad Ali, were traveled and read and deep into the radical culture, and I was just too young or too distant from them. Passed a long time ago now, wish I could ask them what they thought
then again,
great grandma said to my mom many many years ago “if you don’t care for family (like u said, real family) like me while I’m around, don’t come to my funeral acting like you cared when I’m gone. I will get up out of the coffin and slap the hell outta you”, so maybe those family rifts I was too young to be aware of were pretty deep
It’s still my stance that the only reason Farrakhan is still alive is because he sold somebody to the FBI. I can’t immediately prove it, I don’t have the receipts, but my gut tells me there’s kin-blood on that man’s hands.
This is still ongoing:
Malcolm X assassination lawsuit
It was announced last year and I think the actual trial starts in 2025. They’re getting subpoenas and whatnot, plus requests using the Freedom of Information Act.
But like everyone knows those weren’t rogue members of the NoI acting on their own. Elijah Muhammed, one of his sons, or Farrakhan ordered the hit and law enforcement helped them do it.
the concept of ‘critical support’ goes RIGHT out the window as soon as these settlers see melanin.
Then scold us for not supporting a white chud committing chud-on-chud violence lmao. Yes, it’s good when fascists kill one another. No, we do not have to continue helping them. I’m not losing any sleep over some CEO getting shot. I also won’t lose any sleep if his killer (a racist, homophobic, sexist asshat) gets tossed in prison.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
actually awful for having discussions about anything other then soviet history
Hexbear and other leftist spaces are not ready for some things I have to say because they’re so hung up on Cold War history, which is incredibly Euro-centric. They generally have good opinions on Vietnam, for example, but then will have blind spots about how shitty the US was and the role its troops played in war crimes.

Fr
For example, how people like GDF, they often blame the Israel Lobby, if not Israel, for the U.S support of Israel
As far as I’m concerned, to me, it’s blaming the prostitute for the husband’s infidelity…
never mind the shared settler-colonial history of both these damned countries, the fact that Israel can be used as a military asset, a la Taiwan, never mind that it is instead the majority-Evangelical white nation-state of Amerikkka who saves Israel, because they see each other in our selves, and so forth
They accept this brainwashing theory that
obscures the real material basis that has historically made even the working poor in the imperial core complicit.
and end with this credo that:
masses everywhere are granted innocence, but robbed of their intelligence
Yeah blaming Isreal for American support of Isreal is another good example, especially because some people will end up showing their whole antisemitic ass selves. “There’s a Jewish cabal making the genocidal death cult of evangelicals act out their genocidal death cult fantasies” is diverting blame from whitey to another group. They don’t want to accept just how racist their friends and family are.
I hate to get all doomer, but the reason socialism hasn’t happened in the Imperial Core is because the majority of white people, especially the so-called “middle class,” don’t want it. They will choose fascism over communism when given the choice.
other then soviet history
Not sure, while most people do have a negative view of
because of the secret speech thats were most of the criticism endsI dont see people talking much of the failures of brezhnev like backing ethiopia or they blame like 90% of the sino-soviet split on Mao
or they blame like 90% of the sino-soviet split on Mao
which is WILD
failures of brezhnev like backing ethiopia
Ok, I see regarding the 1980 Ethiopia famine (jeez, a lot of ML-on-ML infighting in the 80s, not only in Cambodia, but Ethiopia as well)
the ethiopia backing is bad because in one part Somalia became a socialist ML state before them and was the USSR ally in the horn, when the Ogaden war happen, the USSR abandoned its old ally over ethiopia who was the stronger power in the Horn and Also with the Cubans lead an intervention to help ethiopia causing Somalia to lose the war and try to search for new allies eventually leading to the end of socialism in somalia and the collapse of the country.
as a punitive measure the Derg did ethnic cleasing with cuban support in the Ogaden region
the USSR abandoned its old ally over ethiopia who was the stronger power in the Horn
Didn’t Somalia start the war and have irredentist (national chavunist nation-state expansionist) plans, tho? That’s what I’ve heard, as an overview of events, at least in Wikipedia
causing Somalia to lose the war and try to search for new allies eventually leading to the end of socialism in somalia and the collapse of the country.
Apparently, in response to the Ogaden genocide, didn’t the Ogaden refugees displace the local Ishaq tribe in Somali and create militant orgs to crack down upon them, which was the spark of the civil war that caused the end of socialism
Then again, I repeat, take it with a grain of salt, since I’ve read it from wikipedia
I haven’t read much other perspectives on Somalia and Ethiopia
-
to me i see it as a national unification struggle similar to the DPRK, Ethiopia took over the Ogaden region around 60-80 years during Menelik II’s conquests which were backed by imperialist power like France and Britain to have an allied control the interior of the Horn and even helped them put doing independist movements like the dervish movement
-
i did simplified the ogaden war to civil war but yes the refugee crisis did play a part in the somalian civil war
also i forgot during the ogaden war cuba and the ussr supported the Derg in the Eritrean War of Independence which was also bad
also most of what i know is from Horn of africa Leftists which seem to know their stuff
also most of what i know is from Horn of africa Leftists which seem to know their stuff
Can I have what they wrote about the situation of Horn of Africa?

remember when people on hexbear this summer were saying every company in china is worker run now? remember the reasonable people getting ratioed?
I’m sorry but I don’t recall something like that being said… closest was that China was cracking down on real estate capitalist looters, you know, taking gradual steps, but nothing ridiculous like that (I’m pretty sure Hexbear flipflops between doomer, bloomer, and “nothing really happens” a lot, so maybe there’s a possibility something like that was said)
that was the moment i realized that this most of place is actually awful for having discussions about anything other then soviet history,
I mean, how would y’all know, regarding economic and foreign policy of Global South countries like China, and the other remaining socialist nations? Let alone anti-imperialist yet flawed, if not possibly progressive countries like the Sankara-inspired Sahel countries (at least Asante comments about them), Axis of Resistance in Middle East, and so forth
I mean, for Christ’s sake, as much as the overall Hexbear community may suck, I really feel like this is just subtweeting about the news comm.

China has made all companies worker-controlled. I would show this article to anyone that claims otherwise. This is worker democracy. China is still a dictatorship of the proletariat.
direct quote from the post, and you can see dissenters getting ratioed

i mean ill openly criticize the news com no worries there, its basically not usable anymore (for me)

but if I share this shit with someone and they have no empathy for my situation then they’re just giving away which side they’re actually on.
The opposite is true, when it comes to fascists, imperialists, or settlers, that crackers and other adjacent people defend
If they have enough sympathy to defend for the former, I assume they see themselves in the other
It’s a major tell when they start rationalizing fascists. Slavery, for example, often gets the “Well it was just how things were. Slavery wasn’t considered wrong and you can’t apply today’s morality!”
You know who didn’t support slavery? Slaves. You’re telling on yourself that you see yourself as a slave owner and don’t sympathize with the oppressed. You likely don’t even consider them people.
im thinking of how few spaces there are online that are predominately poc/non western and explicitly communist/left. its a shame. but i like to believe most poc leftists are doing irl work. at least thats my personal experience. social media is a white man’s kingdom
“As someone who uses social media, I have found it to be a vital and efficient resource for reaching out to others and educating communities. However, the Internet is still largely governed by the same racist and sexist rules that structure the “real” world. One could even argue that the Internet gives white supremacy full access to black activists and their thoughts, which is perhaps one of the largest downsides of using the Internet to engage in racial justice work.”
“it’s becoming increasingly obvious that social media is beginning to carry out the legacy of the American dream in insidious ways that both distract us through, and perpetuate the seductions of, white supremacist capitalism.”

It’s like what I always think: the free market nowadays is a mere excuse to ravage any counter-western hegemone’s economy, so as much as possible, protectionism may be the way to go until you have a strong enough social media infrastructure base to counteract, if not challenge it
social media is also the kingdom of AI garbage now, tons of it is fake. And it’s just regurgitating the racist crap
I saw my grandma and the rest of my family, it was nice seeing them. We had
cw: meat
tamales and pozole
I dunno, it was just nice being seeing them, holidays and stuff just a lot more lonely now that my dog and my mom gone since last year
Nice, Koli
gonna get high and watch drag race with my loverrrrrrrr
my most unpopular opinion is that non-donated human hair wigs are tacky. i think paying hundreds of dollars to a Korean owned company that harvested hair from mostly low castes people in south asia who have few other options is TACKY!!! its WIERD actully.
Wawa Wawa!! 🎄❄️
You too, Wawa
:3 🧑🎄
I want to get away from everything. I hate that I have so many people in my life that have to talk about things being woke. And its not even white people.
Im feeling happy today. Hope everyone has a good day or night -wherever you are
i had a great day!!
Working everyday right now. Will get a day off on the 26th after two weeks so that’s good lol. Have relatives coming over. Should be nice.
