Came here for English football and Philly sports banter. Then south Korea declared martial law. Liberal democracy>fascism, but liberal democracy=bourgeois democracy so fascism grows from it. Whole Process Democracy>Liberal Democracy. J/K I’m joking

Ummm… I think I do? The Democrats lost the presidency, the house and the senate. So they are losers. And bc they’re losers they can’t give me anything that I want? According to your post? What am I missing?

No it’s bc our system sucks and because Kamala Harris is a loser.

This is not true- the Democrats have consistently given us Republican leadership by being losers

“How did city come to believe they weren’t?” Because they are backed by an oil state/wealth and are used to getting their way at every turn, including writing their own rules.

President Lula has arrived. His final campaign march is underway. Thousands of supporters are in the streets. Big elections are happening in #Brazil on Sunday. The US has been trying to influence the vote against Lula. #Brazil @therealnews.com @globalexchange.bsky.social @nacla-report.bsky.social

It’s all ppl from LatAm, Asia and Africa that attempt to put ML into practice. And yes- fd up shit happen there within movements, just as same shit happen in anarchist/punk spaces I was around.

I’m muting this thread bc I’m getting piled on here with look- all this bad stuff happening in a society of 1.4 billion ppl or 20 million people. No communists are looking for a utopia or an idealistic society. MLs are looking to use scientific socialism or dialectic materialism to build a better 1

This is also why the US right wing struggles to protect its founding father/confederate symbols, and invests in anti-communist education/propaganda.

Yeah that’s weird. It’s also a culture that’s different. Soviet Union fell partly bc it went back on Stalin who was instrumental in the Soviet revolution/founding of USSR. This is why PRC will respect and show reverence to Mao even after he was pushed out.

‘Loyal party members’ ‘warning Moscow’ look power struggles happen. I’m sorry the Korean revolution is not pure enough for you

SJ is Not South Jersey @sjgooner.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Does the Korean revolution need to be subservient to the Soviet revolution? Do Russians count as white in this version of white supremacy? If we want to count shortcomings of revolutions that succeeded, we can do that for a long time. Why not join Praeger or Trump admin and get paid for it?

Yeah - I’m sure shit like that happens more than is reported. I’m sorry about it anyway- thanks for engaging it this convo has taken a lot out of me. I’m glad it’s not all contentious

Important to support and understand correctly- as a leader of a successful revolution. What happened after Stalin is a good example of why we need Stalin

SJ is Not South Jersey @sjgooner.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Umm- being Korean, definitely I don’t think that I would be untouchable under Stalin esp at that moment in history. We can critique individual policy choices sure, but Stalin also represents a political philosophy/figurehead that was important, (defeating fascism, for example) and on the whole

Still bothered by hearing about your friend in Japan. Shit there should be some recourse for the police there- but I’m assuming nothing happened to them.

I’ve heard similar arguments from Zizek etc. yes- PRC values social order

Dengism* the old me hated him for his quote- to be socialist is rich or something- but I appreciate that now as PRC serves as a check at least in the eastern hemisphere to US hegemony

Of course- I don’t doubt that crackdowns happen- and there were missteps trying to get into US’s good graces when initially opening up- but dentist has prevailed over Maoism and I do believe history has proved him to be right

SJ is Not South Jersey @sjgooner.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Any examples so I can look into it? Again- no pressure- I don’t doubt what you’re saying bc freedom of speech is not as valued there as it is purportedly valued here.

This is where the word ‘tankie’ comes from. If you think Soviet should have just rolled over to let these CIA funded ‘freedom fighters’ take over, well then I have some Al Qaeda and ETIM built bridges to sell you

What are you taking about? What did I miss in a country of 1.4 billion people?

Yeah- I don’t not understand. I’ve just misunderstood Marxism/Leninism and I understand it better now. One big realization is that idealism can be just as counterproductive as capitalism. We have to construct a society at some point- with all the contradictions to work through

SJ is Not South Jersey @sjgooner.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Yeah South Korea and Japan have learned a lot of bad shit being a US colony- and capitalism in PRC is leading to similar tensions among certain classes- but the role of the every day police is not comparable. But yes- fucked up police- exist there too.

Yeah fuck Japan- I never trusted that nation-state

Right- like I said they have figureheads- it’s not any different than George Washington here. I find it uncomfortable, but I respect it. If you don’t like that- well that’s a popular opinion in the US, so *shrugs.

But I think those may be the conditions of their survival. I don’t understand and struggle with many things they do as I too am from the west. But I generally support their project and they are the only meaningful resistance to US hegemony

SJ is Not South Jersey @sjgooner.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Omg- do you know where the word comes from? And that they were proven to be correct?? Usually I’d like to be civil if a bit argumentative, but shove your horse labor up your ass and leave me alone.

SJ is Not South Jersey @sjgooner.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Yeah- that sucks and it’s fucked up- I hope your friend recovered ok- I’m not saying that police are necessarily good in east Asia- but they’re different in a way that I don’t think our concept of ACAB applies

SJ is Not South Jersey @sjgooner.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
DPRK lol. They have figureheads, sure. But the cult of personality is a very western thing

Is that what you think is happening in PRC and DORK?

You mean feudalists? Islamic fundamentalist terrorists? And US agents fomenting color revolutions? No thanks- I think they can talk to you.

Ok not many. Did they kill your friend? Did they shoot him?

SJ is Not South Jersey @sjgooner.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Thanks for the screenshot. I didn’t say anything about process- but just the basic concept that the revolutionary state should protect the revolution. If you want to discuss specific examples/processes, that is a deeper conversation that I don’t think this medium allows.

On how the PRC police works- vastly different from how the US police works, is an example of imposing western examples guilt onto oriental bodies. I mean, even capitalist Japan and South Korea have different approaches to policing than the US. (No guns, to start)

SJ is Not South Jersey @sjgooner.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Ok so now who is putting words in people’s mouths? I just came here to show support that big- upping revolutionary projects in PRC/DPRK/Vietnam/Cuba etc is not liberal and actually what anti-imperialists should do. Soviet project failed-we should learn from its failures- imposing western standards

Chinese imperialism lol projecting much? Are you upset they’re not a UK colony anymore?

I mean, the tankies were proven to be correct. The Hungarian counterrevolution was supported by the CIA. So stay calling names. I guess you won. But the hopefully the arc of history does bend towards justice
