✩ introduction post ✩

Sideblog of @loverboyxbutch but I'm more active on here. Here I yap about communism, politics, and Cuban revolution RPF ☭

I'm a Marxist-Leninist and anti-imperialist; some might call me a tankie. I'm also anti-reformist and anti- social democracy

Fidel Castro is my beloved and I love Che Guevara and Lenin also. I talk about Fidel and Che on here a lot, and Aleida March too (in another world she is my wife)

My chedel lore collection is here. Resources for studying Che, Fidel, and the Cuban revolution are here, and introductory readings on communism are here

RIP Michael Parenti, Leslie Feinberg and Anna Louise Strong, my favourite authors ♡

History is a love of mine, and topics of interest rn are the Cuban revolution, the Soviet Union (particularly Stalin's era) and the DPRK. I've yet to study the DPRK or Korean war in much depth, but I have extensive knowledge on the Cuban revolution because it's my favourite. Please ask me anything about the Cuban revolution

You don't have to be a communist or agree with all my politics to interact, but I won't tolerate hate or imperialistic sentiment. I'm happy to engage in constructive debate as long as you're respectful and speaking in good faith

Feel free to send me asks :)

Spiritually Fidel Castro is a milf

[sadlilmathmajor]

yeah he's way too intellectually clingy to his comrades (coughs in che) to be a dilf

gives off a very slutty cougar vibe especially with those cat-eye spectacles haha

Stalin was the reason that Che became a communist, everyone say thank you Stalin

"Jamás la causa palestina pareció más justa que en el contraste con la brutalidad repulsiva de sus adversarios. La humanidad no olvidará ni el heroísmo de los agredidos ni la barbarie de los agresores."

— Fidel Castro

Am I the only one that thinks Che looks a lot like young Stalin in this picture

I mean this is young Stalin. You can't tell me they don't have a resemblance

[lesbianfidelcastro]

I miss him...

a lot of folks on the anti-communist left fall into a sort of nihilistic despair at the state of things because they are unwilling to see the incredible advances in actual socialist projects as real, leaving an increasingly derelict capitalist structure as the only thing that exists in their perspective. which, in fairness, would also make me rather depressed! getting over the hurdle of accepting that socialism exists in real life does just totally ameliorate that, however.

Having non marxist friends is such a drain sometimes. What do you mean you belive in copyright and don't like piracy?

[hagiomoto]

That's the thing...you do eventually have to read especially if you want to make "owning" libs and reactionaries on social media your hobby and career. Otherwise you shouldn't be arguing and fighting with anybody lest you will look like a fool at best or at worst, you will only attract like minded folks and be in an equally foolish circle regurgitating old wrong shits

[lesbianfidelcastro]

You ever just think the US government deserves to be fucking obliterated

This might be a stupid question but what do you think about the compatibility of Marxism and human rights?

(asked April 9)

This ask I answered recently contains a good amount of my views on the subject at present:

I don't think Marxism is incompatible with human rights in general, but rather I think human rights should be viewed as having a class component. The liberal view is to cast human rights as universal and transhistorical, as ideals that a nation can be more or less aligned with, more or less capable of achieving, but as ultimately unchanging. The historical materialist view, on the other hand, says no, material conditions do not just determine whether or not a nation can achieve certain human rights, but which human rights are necessary in the first place.

The liberal, for instance, might argue that the right to private property is a necessary and inalienable human right, and that restrictions on property constitute a violation of human rights. The Marxist, on the other hand, would argue that while private property may be a necessary right under capitalism, the advancements of socialism supersede that necessity and effect a change in human rights as a result: a right to private property is superseded by a right to collective property, something that would be unachievable under capitalism but becomes achievable under socialism.

Moreover, there is often a liberal emphasis on "equality": while individuals might be unequal in certain respects, they should equally be granted protections via human rights. The liberal would argue that while bourgeois states have not always protected political freedoms for everyone equally, that this doesn't erase the need for those political freedoms, and that the failure of bourgeois nations to meet human rights ideals does not justify the abridging of political freedoms by socialist nations. The Marxist, on the other hand, would argue that the abridging of political freedoms by bourgeois nations is not a failure on their part to meet human rights ideals but in fact a necessary component of the class character of any state; bourgeois nations abridge political freedoms when necessary to protect bourgeois interests, and even when those freedoms are not overtly abridged, bourgeois control over the media and political apparatus ensures that proletarian political activity does not exceed certain limits. Until classes are abolished, states will inevitably restrict freedoms in accordance with their class character.

Ultimately, I would argue that the Marxist position on human rights is that human rights cannot be viewed as transhistorical or class-agnostic, but must be viewed as an evolving legal framework dependent on material conditions, and that the Western liberal universalization of human rights exists as a means of weaponizing human rights claims against nations that stand in the way of Western imperialism.
