My haters can finally rejoice as I will soon stop posting and disappear into the woods. If we're mutuals or we've interacted or you'd like to be friends for some other inscrutable reason feel free to DM me and we can stay in touch over Discord or something.

Alright, exams are done, my time here is done; I will diminish and go into the West. If I should return feel free to use this post to mock me for my indecisiveness. I bid everyone, even the haters and the losers, a very fond farewell.

I made this a while ago for a specific person but I realise now it may have general tumblr appeal

How do you spend 10 minutes of your video analysing the meaning of just these 2 shots and not once mention anything about pussy

tryna figure out what kind of leftist you actually are and realised i can just ask

are you:

pro/anti lenin?

do you think china is socialist?

do you support the current iran government? (like figuratively, i’m not trying to figure out if you’re literally subscribed to the ayatollah’s patreon)

were you in favour of the nato intervention into serbia broadly?

yeah that’s probably enough 👍

My opinions on Lenin are so infinitely nuanced and complex they cannot be articulated in a tumblr ask. But if you are pro-Lenin then I am slightly anti-Lenin, and if you are anti-Lenin then I am slightly pro-Lenin. Whatever mildly annoys people, since that's what people online tend to assume anyway.

No, but I am eagerly awaiting the day that Xi proves me wrong, since all those China-watchers are saying he's bringing communism back.

I don't think there's a figurative way to support the Iranian government, or much of anything really. As you say I am certainly not funding it. I think sanctions against Iran are bad and I think the Iranian communists struggling against the government are good. But I'm not exactly in a position to do very much about either.

I'm against NATO intervention as a general principle. Not particularly well informed on the Kosovo war or about Yugoslavia in general.

the mughals colonized india, therefore india should genocide muslims, the romans colonized palestine, therefore israel should genocide the palestinians, the ottomans colonized kosovo, therefore serbia should genocide kosovar albanians. colonialism isn't an actual ongoing process of exploitation and displacement but actually a grab bag of historical grievances that one may pluck out at their convenience whenever there is an ethnic or religious minority to exterminate. maybe one day denmark will make the dirty swedes atone for colonizing skåne

it's so funny imagining the people who built and maintained the last 50 years of free trade hegemony watching as the whole thing quietly comes undone in favour of doing classico industrial protectionism again (checks pockets) WHERE IS MY INDUSTRIAL BASE

weird question, but as that I know you don't like Stalin and you tend to be objective in your posts, I wanted to ask what's your opinion on him "killing the socialist movement world wide" or just "Stalinism" killing or setting back the movement

It's an oversimplification of history at best, and usually involves seeing the communist movement before him through rose-tinted glasses. There's a million criticisms to be made of Stalin and his administration more broadly, from understandable mistakes that we can easily spot with hindsight, to downright atrocious and terrible policy, and we should by no means shy away from them. But for many of them it's reductive, at least in terms of understanding the full scope of them and how to avoid similar things in the future, to lay them simply at the feet of Stalin himself or some smaller circle of bureaucrats like Beria. Not because we need to be nice to them or absolve them but because it often goes much deeper than them, implicating figures you might love like Lenin.

Trotskyists are infamously fond of this narrative (although their better analyses of course go deeper than Stalin simply corrupting the revolution with his evil and greed), but it rears its head with the lowest common denominator of basically every tendency under the sun. Fans of Mao might say Deng took the capitalist road and ignore Mao's own role, fans of Stalin will say it was Khrushchev but pretend not to see the connections to Stalin's own policy, and on it goes.

Besides this it also often just ends up turning into counterfactual history which is rarely useful. What if Stalin hadn't enabled conservative views and policy on women? What if the Comintern hadn't pursued electoralism for the sake of peace in western Europe? I don't know, a million things would have been different. So many individuals, groups, parties, countries, etc. would have reacted to those changes. It's not about what Stalin or the party should have done differently, or what the international movement should have done in response, it's about what we should do right now. Sometimes counterfactual history can help us get started thinking about those things, but that's about the limits of its usefulness politically.

Do any of my followers have any resources on the differences between Sunni and Shia? Whether it's like a historical perspective on how and why they came to be different, or theological discussions, or analysis of conflicts between them, or just an account of modern differences in belief and practice for lay Muslims. Whether it's highly academic and in-depth or the opposite I would appreciate it
