Sison > Gonzalo

I was out talking with workers today and I ran into my first ever Trotskyist lmao

Who said one has to be better than the other. The CPP defends Gonzalo.

yeah lol even then both of have their faults and pros.

like the Philippines have been able to last for a very long time but never advanced from defensive to equilibrium

while Peru was able to get to equilibrium in 7 years they fell apart from Gonzalo capture and then the CC getting caught back to back lol

And Guzman called everyone else in existence revisionist while Sison critically defends the DPRK and Cuba

Yeah honestly I would never feel the need to pit them against each other. They're both great revolutionaries but both have faults.

This is pretty crazy news. The USA is blacklisting a company that sold the Pegasus software because it was recently used against US diplomats. The Pegasus software is Israeli software that can hack into any iPhone in the world, fresh out of the box, made in Israel. The company selling it, NSO, said that whatever these people hack, they should not mess with US citizens. Now, some US diplomats/spies in Uganda were targeted, so the USA is cracking down hard on this company and blacklisting them. Silicon Valley companies are also cutting ties with them.

Bro some peoples ideology rly just boils down to

DECENTRALIZED GOOD CENTRALIZED BAD

SMALL GOOD BIG BAD

anarchist brain worms

the italian marxist forgot his name in liberalism a counter history went into how a “smaller” goverment and political freedom was advocated by slave owners in the USA so they can keep their freedom to own slaves, which is of course the most “authoritarian” action someone can take is to literally own another human being.

Like during the time there were debates over what was better a monarchy that allowed little to no political freedom but bans slavery or a republic that allowed political freedom but allowed slavery.

Thinking in terms oh this is decentralized so it must be good will get u nowhere.

Shifting the focus from capital vs labor to citizen vs state (with no actual substance of course) has been the biggest propaganda achievement of the right.

100% that’s why at work when coworkers or less political educated friends ask about politcs i frame it in the terms of labour vs capital
