"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

Stop promoting this shit even if it's to laugh at it.

Agreed, at least block out the QR and dates

Didn't know Rathbone was one of them. But tbf I did get a weird feeling about him.

And Garrido's videos pop up on my Instagram feed, because some communist page I follow keeps sharing his videos. I really should call them out on that

[–] Comradeasaurus@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 weeks ago

Not a surprise to me. The guy was unironically posting "Happy Merchant" memes and responding to anyone pointing out that sharing nazi memes is anti-semitic by calling them zionists.

I don't get Diego Ruzzarin. It seems that this guy gives some PatSoc vibes. His doctorate advisor is a bigot as well. And now this event of ACP...

[–] Comradeasaurus@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I usually have a greater level of tolerance for non-Americans/Europeans who associate with the ACP. It's not their fault they're not entirely up to date on all the awful thing ACP members believe you have to be pretty terminally online for that. But repeated collaborations does begin to look a little suspicious.

[–] burlemarx@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

Well, to give you more context. Diego Ruzzarin's doctorate advisor and current exponent of the "Political materialism" philosophical current (which according to them, is an improvement upon Marxian dialectical materialism), Santiago Armesilla, is a very known bigot with some polemics against trans and LGBTQ+ community. I haven't read his books yet, but political materialism gives some revisionist vibes and that fits well within ACP.

PatSoc = Nazbol?

[–] Saymaz@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yeah. NazBol is the WW2 era terminology. The reemergence of this name happened in 1990s Russia with Limonov and then Dugin. Duginism is where ACP gets their ideology from.

Patriot is a synonym for Nationalist -> Patriotic Socialism = National Socialism

Hmmmm...

[–] Kultronx@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago
