MizPiz posted:It's to help ease liberals' conciousness. If they started deplatforming without showing it's "non-partisan", then the libs could be shamed into going against facebook. Why bother with that when they can just claim that one of the contributors to any page they shut down once shook hands with a person who'd been to Moscow in the past year? Liberals would just nod along without questioning it.

Half Ugandan half Russian. Apparently he's in Ukraine fighting for the Luhansk People's Army. He's got a long bio on wiki for someone from fringe Latvian politics, so he's an interesting character.

Let's also not forget the Burkina Faso reforestation program, which was so good that NGOs tried to keep it going across the Sahel even after they killed Sankara.

WhiskeyJuvenile posted:Western media's obsession with Navalny instead of the Communists is really telling part of this is because the Communists are sort of okay with being complacent opposition until Putin retires. But they are far more likely to proceed him than the liberals. The western media narrative is completely invalid.

No one said communists are inherently woke when it comes to environmentalism, especially back in the mid-20th when it hadn't caught on that pollution could actually threaten modern civilization. China is serious now but look how disgusting it became before they realized they had to act. It's also worth pointing out that those "eastern european commies" had to rebuild entire countries from scratch after they were razed to the ground by fascist vipers. Kind of a special case. The point is they're in a unique position to correct the past mistakes because they don't care about profit.

Apparently they're still actively cutting down forests, but they're replanting rubber trees, so uhhh totally fine I guess. But more importantly, reforestation initiatives haven't actually affected lumber consumption--they're just importing more lumber from South America and SE Asia (including a lot of illegally cut lumber. AFAIK, China hasn't agreed to any treaties banning the import of illegally harvested lumber yet, but maybe they'll consider it?)

soviet ecologists saw climate change coming before everyone else. rapid pre- and post-war industrialization had severe consequences but they were borne from necessity, not some rapaciousness inherent to communism

Cuban forestry seems more advanced than China, but both are ahead of the US where they are actively reversing protections to allow logging in virgin forests. China and Cuba are both far less developed than the US, and giving land over to forests is more costly for them. https://wilderness.org/press-release/deadline-looms-tell-trump-administration-maintain-forest-protections quote:The public has until Monday, Oct. 15 to tell Secretary Perdue to maintain protections on millions of the United States’ most wild, pristine national forestlands.

Speaking of REGIMES here's a cool article about Orwell and Arendt inventing the modern liberal concept of totalitarianism by claiming it was a mixture of "oriental savagery" and Western enlightenment values https://archive.org/stream/pdfy-llWfc0Y5NKFMfEtO/Pietz-William-The-Post-colonialism-of-Cold-War-Discourses_djvu.txt

Orwell's contribution is more conceptual than theoretical, because his fiction imagined a hysterical endgame to communist despostism that never panned out in real life - but it's still what people think will happen the moment we socialize healthcare or whatever.

quote:“I think it’s real bougie to grow up with a defined political ideology,” she adds. “You need to have college-educated parents for that, with a political lexicon. My mother doesn’t even have an English lexicon! When people say I’m not Socialist enough, I find that very classist. It’s like, ‘What—I didn’t read enough books for you, buddy?’” -Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez quote:What appears to characterize [revisionist] practice above all? A certain hostility to "theory." This is quite natural, for our "theory," that is, the principles of scientific socialism, impose clearly marked limitations to practical activity-insofar as it concerns the aims of this activity, the means used in attaining these aims, and the method employed in this activity. It is quite natural for people who run after immediate "practical" results to want to free themselves from such limitations and to render their practice independent of our "theory."" -Rosa Luxemburg

AOC isn't being hostile to theory in that quote, she's saying you don't need to absorb a dozen boring tomes on socialist theory to realize capitalism blows and the basic reasons why. And she's absolutely right.
