"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Hello there. It’s nice to meet you all.

Some months ago, I did research on the A’C’P. It’s quite horrifying that many people cannot see the evident psyop they are. I wouldn’t be surprised if they clap whenever Hammoud or Hinkle publicly give a reactionary statement.

What I am interested in is the Midwestern Marx Institute, which I glossed over. I know many notorious members are part of that nazbol abomination, but I haven’t read much about them.

From what I’ve seen, people like Carlos Garrido behave similarly to Jackson Hinkle when he goes abroad. They pretend to be internationalists/anti-imperialists, but they behave in the exact opposite way in the US.

I’ll be looking forward to your answers.

Kind regards

I watched a few Midwestern Marx Institute videos in 2024 when I was more new to Marxist-Leninist and however they quickly they turned towards Patriotic Socialism and starting to incorporate it into their viewpoints and I stopped watching them because they dismissed the idea of settler colonialism because they could not handle the fact that Americans colonized, stole the lands of, and gencoided the Native Americans. The Deprogram subreddit users had started warning people that they had become a Patriotic Socialist channel. Shortly after that they started supporting American nationalism and talking how the founder fathers would have supported communism. Even though if you read about Bourgeois revolution they would know the founding fathers are of the bourgeoisie class and common sense would tell them not to support slave owners.

They were cosplaying as Marxist-Leninist for some time before they started to quickly become Patriotic Socialists allowing to develop a fan base. They started promoted the idea that the working class was mostly MAGA and that in order to reach those people they need to have Communism that would cater to MAGA people trying to show people that MAGA and Communists were not that different and were pushing for the same goals. They started calling their "version" of Communism, "Communism with American characteristics" even though it was just extreme American nationalism with a bit of Communist terminology thrown in there.

Since the CIA is known to promote the idea of ‘far left and far right are both authoritarian and thus equally bad’ I am 100% convinced this organisation is also run by feds who want to further blur the distinction between leftism and fascism.

They are making people who are attracted to leftist aesthetics and accidentally end up at these places actively promote the right.
