The release last week of the film “Judas and the Black Messiah” has sparked a renewed interest in the politics, theory, and ideology of…

Don’t mind me, I’m just a lumpen trying to teach myself theory.

But essentially, what he says is that the BPP is a thing of it’s own, and is not a traditional ML or Maoist org.

I like it bc I am an unaligned eclectic leftist myself. I study all tendencies. I study history.

              Yeah this is pedantic and not a defense but it seems like they just shot and hacked up people with axes in that village . It's probably best to not massacre the people to keep them on your side so I don't understand how people think Gonzalo is the next head of Marxism or anything .

          One of my main theoretical issues, which is due to me not reading much communist theory from Asia - which is also due to the fact I'm reading up on the history of the region since it'll help me understand all of the euphemisms and historical references that writers from the region use. You can't really understand what the fuck someone's talking about if they're talking about being as cunning as Zhuge Liang to have your enemy dancing in your palm. - is how is Mao's theoretical concept of the massed line different from the theoretical works put out of the Bolsheviks and the Left-SRs a few decades earlier.

          I'll try to answer my own questions on the whole conundrum when I finish up my own studying. So no sweat on putting in the work of writing an essay.

          Big oof from the Naxalites for publishing "Release Chairman Gonzalo" "RIP Gonzalo" articles. Though I wonder if they think it's the CIA making up the story.
