Ok so is this an attempt at DotP or what? Can someone please explain this to me.
While Traore himself is pretty cool and good, I’m not sure how his government can be considered a DotP without a vanguard party.
As others mention there’s not really any party that Traroe represents, just the military junta. A junto which so far operates within an anti-imperialist and nationalist political framework.
I’m curious, though. Will he be able to form a vanguard party around him after seizing power? Because from what little I know about DotP is that it’s usually the other way around, and usually for good reason.
Cool and good
Burkina Faso is among a growing number of countries in West and Central Africa that have been hit by a surge in coups and delays to the return of democratic rule.
Since taking power in a 2022 coup, its military leaders have launched sweeping reforms, including postponing elections that were expected to restore civilian rule and dissolving the country’s independent electoral commission.
Ah yes, “hit by a surge in coups” unlike all the times throughout modern history when imperialist powers launch coups to install governments who sold their peoples out to governments and corporations that wanted to exploit them.
they say “hit by coups” like it’s a fucking natural disaster
Another high pressure coup coming in from the west this weekend.
So many large coups in this year’s coup season!
…surge of coups…
“Governments, they just do that.”
delays to the return of democratic rule.
They mean western imperial domination
Cool, now do queer emancipation too, it’s not a western value. Critical support. 😠
The main reason to have criminalized homosexuality in the first place was to play ball with reactionary parties. Now that the parties are gone it’d be a great time to go back on that.
agreed. i call balls and strikes and the criminalization of LGBTQ+ folks was a beanball. completely unforced error that is explicitly opposed to the idea of the project in general and just hurts already marginalized people.
i have no clue what that 2nd sentence means but i fuck w/ sentence 3
a beanball is when the pitcher hits the batter in the head with a pitch, sometimes intentionally.
Hell yeah!

close enough, welcome back george washington
?
He didn’t like political parties 'cause everyone should just get along and do what’s clearly best for everyone*, they ended up forming parties around Jefferson and Hamilton’s opposing positions anyway

Authoritarian Washington supports a one-party state
I know you’re memeing, but really he supported a no-party state. Many of USAmerican founding fathers believed that one’s virtue (and the amount of capital you had was equivalent to your inner virtue) was what made them worthy of leading, and that party divisions prevented this natural, virtuous, meritocracy from elevating the right people to govern.
What they failed to realize is that the world doesn’t care about your virtue, and material conditions rule all. What no Dialectical Materialism does to a mf
but really he supported a no-party state.
From an outside perspective understanding how ““parties”” work in the US that kinda looks exactly like what they built too. No other country in the world allows anyone into political parties and gives no central control to party leadership over who can declare affiliation etc. Those are two state controlled factions of capitalism, red or blue, that anyone is allowed to declare themselves part of. It’s nonsense and they’re not real parties.
I’m like half-memeing because I would generally identify a no-party state as a one-party state unless it’s a direct democracy or something (as you allude to with his belief in a united ruling class of the wealthy, which I’d call a party), but thank you for the elaboration regardless.
I dead ass analogize a communist party 1 party state to Da Libs by saying “it’s really more like if Washington made a Constitution Party, the party where you have to support the constitution” just like that.
As we know:
, there’s a lot of ideological flex in a single communist party anyway.Forming a Gorbin’ Out Over Here Party where our policy positions all involve getting drunk and rowdy at Pizza Hut
Oh hell yeah redistribute da Pepsi and Za
That’s kind of the point?
Hesitant support for Burkina Faso.
Jealous!
