    communist insurgency in India going on right now

    it’s mostly ‘crushed’, the state is now just killing tribal people. Maoist actions used to be daily news in the 2000s and early 2010s but now it’s much rarer.

    i’d rather be led by these guys than the BJP don’t get me wrong but can we stop watering down the ideological content of “communism” and start taking a more critical attitude.

    Vietnam has started sending its workers to Israel. China has continued its trade with Israel when it could’ve destroyed Israel’s economy. Communist countries with sovereign powers are engaged in cheap opportunism. Yet, I still support them in the way they have developed compared to other global south countries.

    CPI and CPI(M)'s stance was tailism, they supported the war because there was public support for the same, I don’t agree with it but that doesn’t change my support in general.

      you are right, it’s tailism, and it’s not good enough. revolutionary defeatism or bust. nothing else has ever achieved anything productive.

      of course as I said, I still support them over most other parties in the country, which are objectively worse. However we cannot allow “communism” to be reduced in content to global south developmentalism that indulges itself in chauvinist warmongering.
