This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

Just looking at the replies and quote tweets https://twitter.com/prolewiki/status/1767598202956533769 you can tell they didn't even touch the page because everything is explained there.
There is one person who actually seems to have read the book (that would make them a very fast reader, but it happens) and they did bring some critiques of the author's work, which is actually great. This is what I want to happen; like the author said: the point is to open a debate and force the Shining Path to respond. I also hope (I'm not confident, but one can hope) this book will be incorporated in the MLM discourse so that it can be more closely scrutinized; take the good out of it and remove the bad. For this reason it's important Maoists read it as well, and they might actually learn a thing or two that would actually confirm their beliefs. Because it's in there. Likewise we don't have much information on the author and not much seems to exist on the Internet, I'm hopeful by bringing attention to this work, we'll be able to eventually have a wiki page on him.
Regardless the salty maoists who "move heaven and earth for chairman gonzalo" are like... 10, 15 people at most? Meanwhile we've registered over 400 visits on the page today after the announcements.
Yeah, I think the hardcore twitter Gonzaloites are a very small, but vocal minority. Personally I think their support of him stems from their desire to just engage in adventurism and hide out in the mountains and magically cause a revolution to happen through the "exciting" bits, rather than the "boring" parts like education and gathering public support.
