do you work for the US State Department?

look up who sent weapons to Mugabe to fight the rhodesians

That one loves imperialism and racism.



Cuba, the USSR, the ANC, and Angola’s MPLA defeated South African Apartheid forces in Angola

do you work for the US State Department?

look up who sent weapons to Mugabe to fight the rhodesians

And look how China invading Northern Vietnam led to a generational defining war

We can do tit for tat for which is worse but let me be clear: I’m not blindly defending US capitalism as if its squeaky clean

Who are they executing for political opposition in Cuba or Vietnam, you've been brainwashed. This kind of reaction is a telltale sign of someone whose only knowledge of communist history comes from right wing cacs.

they are violent to their own

what does that have to with black people tho

His list is ridiculous

China
Laos
Vietnam
Cuba
North Korea
Russia

Save for Cuba and Vietnam, these are not countries that even attempt to nationalize their economies. I'd put Venezuela on that list before China.

This was the official platform of the CPUSA, as well as several Black communist organizations at the time - including the African Blood Brotherhood.

I know I started a thread a while back in Higher Learning about Black communist history in the U.S., but the average Black person has no idea about the history -

The first time I became aware of Black communists was the first time reading the Auto Bio of Malcolm X, in a passage describing the street climate in Harlem

Negro and white canvassers sidled up alongside you, talking fast as they tried to get you to buy a copy of the _Daily Worker_: "This paper's trying to keep your rent controlled . . . Make that greedy landlord kill them rats in your apartment . . . This paper represents the only political party that ever ran a black man for the Vice Presidency of the United States . . . Just want you to read, won't take but a little of your time . . . Who do you think fought the hardest to help free those Scottsboro boys?" Things I overheard among Negroes when the salesmen were around let me know that the paper somehow was tied in with the Russians,

They ain’t did shyt worth a damn they have a track record of someone of the worst environmental negligence, erosion of civil rights, genocide and not to mention invading other countries and plundering their resources

Communism belongs in the goddamn dustbin next to fascism

Cuba has a vastly superior medical system, educational system, housing system, and incarceration system. They have better maternal mortality, infant mortality, lower homelessness, less incarcerated, lower violent crime, lower gun crime, and a vastly smaller environmental impact than their equivalent American territory.

No communist country can have a worst record on environmental negligence, civil rights, or genocide than capitalist countries considering the present global warming issues are a product of the capitalist mode of production, virtually every genocide of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries was at the behest of capital.

Chattel slavery is inherent in the capitalist mode of production - apartheid has been at the behest of capital, every notable African and South American leader who held the interests of his people above capital was assassinated by Western capitalist countries.

You're out of your depth here young man.

I'm not gonna jump out there and pretend as if Capitalism is the end all be all answer, but there's a reason why the most successful and richest country on earth isn't a communist country.

[I Really Mean It]

communists didn’t really care about black people and our grievances. they weren’t as chauvinistically racist as the american public during that period, making sympathetic overtures of understanding that endeared them to a desperate black community. at the end of the day, though, communists viewed the divisions in this country through the lens of class warfare, ultimately ignoring entreaties to address systemic racism by those black people who joined their party.

communists have done a lot of good things fir brehs, both over here and in Africa...cant front

The greatest mass improvements in Africa, almost across the board, were socialist, revolutionary nationalist or communist governments.

Patrice Lumumba, Kwame Nkrumah, Ahmed Toure, Thomas Sankara, and Julius Nyerere were the greatest statesman ever in power.

I guess to be successful you have to set up, in part, an exploitative capitalist system built on 300 years chattel slavery, 100 years of racial segregation, and 50+ years of carceral slave labour = plucky entrepreneurialism and bootstraps

The aim of a communist country isn't to be the richest on earth and you're also ignoring the worldwide capitalist conspiracy against these countries. Assassinations, corporate espionage, genocide, and full scale wars were used to slow the growth of communism.

'Communist' isn't a race, racial and ethnic tensions are inevitable when advocating for any societal change in any country. But what you can't dispute is that racial equality is a lot easier to achieve when leftists are in power.

Extremely terrible history and terrible even today but there's a reason folks are invading our borders to get to America so much to the point where we have to have political debates about building walls to keep them out. Russia and China don't have those problems because ain't nobody trying to go there.

Folks see the US (a capitalist country) as the land of opportunity because anybody can potentially be successful here.

In Russia, and other commie nations, the only way you're getting wealthy is if the folks in charge handpick you and even then, if they feel they don't like you no more, they coming and yanking out your bed at night and disappearing you and taking your money like they did to the billionaire in China.

Of course the US has issues. All countries do. But this capitalist nation stands heads and shoulders over the most popular communist nations.

Then why is the average median wealth of African Americans expected to decline to zero this century?

Land of opportunity, unless you’re a descendant of exploited slaves under a global capitalist system of cash crops to enrich Southern white planters and white New York bankers - whose descendants are doing better on average than their the slave descendants
