implying there are intellectuals in the united states
Death to America
rip Mao you would’ve loved GPS
Imagine the communist party with working GPS somehow in like 1924, we might have falgsc by now
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
Um Mao should read settlers
Hitler particle detectors were rudimentary back then, in his defense
You couldn’t just carry them around, it took a room full of tape drives
Mao: how racist can Americans be
In the final analysis, national struggle is a matter of class struggle. Among the whites in the United States, it is only the reactionary ruling circles that oppress the black people. They can in no way represent the workers, farmers, revolutionary intellectuals and other enlightened persons who comprise the overwhelming majority of the white people.
Mao made 30% mistakes, what can I say.
When does “Revolutionary optimism” transform into “Revolutionary delusion”
Mao didn’t live in a time where class politics were pretty much obliterated from the average burgerprole’s conscience so this take gets a 70/100
Stoked to show this to some Maoists I know
When Mao was right - which was most of the time - he was right.
But when he wrong… well…
He understood extractive imperialism perfectly but not settler colonialism. What he did understand of it he got from the wildly different experience of French African settler colonialism.
It’s like that difference between the apartheid and the genocidal state that’s come up recently.
An apartheid state wants the oppressed groups to do all the work. A genocidal state just wants them gone.
The US is both, genocidal to First Nations, apartheid to non whites.
This is a lack of cultural exposure tbh, I think he just geniunely didn’t understand how bad American society really is.
he also thought that the soviet union was the most imperialist force, on the same earth on which the usa also resided so…
This was also true of Marx and Engels, imo.
Look, man, the sparrows deserved it
Yeah okay the doomerism is too much
