Mostly lofi and related genres (synthwave, Sovietwave, jazzhop) so I can (try to) focus. I also like retro with a particular affinity to Cold War themes. Something about the end of the world makes interesting music.
Allende was too centrist, constantly trying to placate the right-wing by actively demobilizing and repressing the left-wing of Chile. Appeasement won him no favors, and the demobilization of the Chilean left hampered concerted resistance to the coup.
The idea that police and prisons are not safety, accountability, or justice, and that these can be achieved through a plurality of means and methods rather than through the overt carceral violence.
Socialism in one country has rotted everyone's brains tbh. The point isn't to be satisfied with a territory or a periphery. We want the whole world, and we want that for everyone.
@mook I especially love how Indian patriots immediately made memes congratulating themselves on how India conducted a regime change in Nepal (since they also think India did Sri Lanka and Bangladesh).
If you want to learn how the CIA worked to overthrow a government, one of the better examples I've found is how the CIA undermined the proletarian basis of Solidarność and empowered the liberal intelligentsia to co-opt it with covert funding.
That Grayzone article on how the CIA funded the overthrow of the Nepali government is so ridiculous. Like, the amounts they cite is approximately the price of a house in Metro Manila and is the kind of money that could be sourced from a state-sponsored home loan. If only revolution were that cheap!
@job Nope. Disagree. Nepal had clear revolutionary potential, more so than Indonesia because they were able to overcome particular ideological and material limits Indonesians were unable to do so, but was stopped by other limits. I am preparing a work on it. As for Madagascar, I am pretty sure the story is quite similar, but I haven't studied it as in depth as Indonesia and Nepal (and obvs the PH)
I read stuff on ultraleft communism, anarchy, ecology, police+prison abolition. Aspie, he\him. Scribe.Librarian at The Anarchist Library and the Southeast Asian Anarchist Library. Archivist for Philippine socialism and the Tagalog section at the Marxists Internet Archive. Climate justice worker.Build militancy not membership. For the self-abolition of the proletariat and the anti-prole prole club. The revolution will be proletarian by those who make it and anti-proletarian in its content.
