Well, there are revolutionaries processes ongoing on india and philippines, im not up to date on how they are progressing. in the rest of the third world maxism is slowly rebuilding, my guess the next one will be in africa continent, since there is still an anti colonial struggle.
Maoists here are kinda on the down low at this point. Like more of their cadre are being killed by the state than other movements that they throw in jails. The state of their war with Indian state with a lot western weapons (some mossad shit like heat tracking) since operation greenback has been very dangerous than usual. India got some spying software (called pegasus, the memos got leaked I think with long list of people being spied upon) from israel which they have been also been using on non maoist movements (like people in bhima koraegon).
My point is the overall movement is kind of in a disarray for a long time. I won't say the maoist or the other parties in name are going places. Its mostly in a disorganized place now.
that is sad to read :(
India is quite unlikely. The naxalite movement has been on the decline for a while now and a variant of ethno-fascism promoted by the ruling party has been growing rampantly for a decade now.
the attack on the naxalites is something that both the current bjp and the past governments have in common. actually some might say that naxalism and marxism-leninism has seen a new found popularity among the youth of this country as of recently. this is a result of the contradictions of modern indian politics and is a good thing that there is hope for this country's future. the main issue still, lies in the utter disarray of the machinery of the naxalite parties with the biggest one, cpi maoist losing a hell lot of territory in the 2010s and doesn't show any improvement in their performance whatsoever.
If a northeastern state seceeded, would it likely be a communist state?
Unlikely. Assuming they managed to secede in the first place (also unlikely), most of the rebel groups are christian tribal militias. I support their cause, but they won't be communist states except maybe in name.
The Philippines are a US colony and their colonization is only increasing.
Like Cuba once was.
I think Cuba didn't have as many American bases on it or a population that was quite as culturally Americanized. But point taken. You never know what can happen.
Contradictions intensifying, then.
