@mima I'm sure there are levels and priorities to these things. Likely this is a mostly autonomous cell that doesn't feel the need to spend a lot, maybe because it is a small KM cell.

@mima What signs do you think that indicate it was planted? I tend toward it being real.

Images of the pamphlets. This chapter seems to be named KM-Guiller Cadano. NPA@56 refers to the 56th anniversary of the New People's Army.

Fascinating developments. Kabataang Makabayan (KM) pamphlets found in De La Salle University (DLSU) bathrooms. KM is the youth wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines. As far as unis go, DLSU is one of the posh “bourgeois” ones.

HELLO WORLD Can you see the formatting on this one?

As the military takes more and more police functions in counterinsurgency operations, the revolutionary potential of officers decline. Their material condition in policing changes their consciousness to be defenders of class society. They are conditioned to see the masa as enemies.

The CPP is calling for politicizing the army. In my analysis, the viability of politicizing AFP officers has long passed, perhaps even so for rank-and-file soldiers. The ideological apparatus of the security sector is much more sophisticated than when Sison taught kudeta lessons to cadets.

Maybe even the historical conditions that allowed for kudeta plotters in RAM and Magdalo may have passed.

The thing about democratic centralism is that at the end of the day, when the democracy starts to say things that the centralism doesn't like, it drops the pretense of democracy and becomes just centralism. Many such examples. Recent one was the Red Ant/Red Spark schism in Australia.

Correction, Makhno's army did commit antisemitic pogroms, but Makhno himself was not antisemitic as he shot the pogromists and then armed Jewish communities to protect themselves. He didn't do this for Mennonites though. Makhno still has command responsibility for those.

Here's what a comrade wrote in a reply:

it's not true that Makhnovists did not commit antisemitic pogroms. there was at least one well-documented instance: on 12 May 1919, Makhnovists murdered 20 Jewish people in the Gorkaya colony. the case was investigated by the Makhnovist intelligence agent Nikolai Chubenko, who found the Makhnovist unit guilty of committing the pogrom. Nestor Makhno himself then ordered the participants be shot, rather than sending them to the front as was recommended by the investigation commission.

there's also at least a couple other cases: in August 1920, a joint group of Makhnovists and Ukrainian nationalists carried out a pogrom in Shishaki. Makhno again ordered the execution of the people who participated. Makhnovists may have committed antisemitic pogroms in Nechaevka and Kazanka, but the evidence on those is less solid.

Makhno noticed antisemitism among local anarchists and insurgents from the moment he arrived back in Huliaipole in 1917. it was so strong he gave Jewish colonies in the area rifles so they could protect themselves.

Makhno was not personally antisemitic, but that did not extend to many in his army and he constantly had to repress antisemitism.

@enby_of_the_apocalypse they think we venerate names like they do. It's such a self-tell

@d4rkness there's this trot I know who keeps going on about Durrutists and Makhnovists, it's like, bro??? We don't follow names, we follows ideas.

Ah I see it's Makhno and antisemitism discourse season again. Tankies would have an argument if they picked up a book. Makhno's army did commit pogroms, but never against Jews, but to kulak Mennonites. But were not the Stalinists even more brutal to the kulaks of all types than the anarchists?
