r/communism reading list or ProleWiki reading list. A lot of these books are available in Portuguese on ProleWiki or if not you can go to marxists.org

Patsocs call themselves gorillas for some reason.

In the US, the PSL, FRSO, and WWP all publish articles in Spanish in addition to English. MintPress News also publishes articles in a several languages, and Geopolitical Economy Report has a Spanish channel and sometimes publishes videos with Chinese subtitles.

There is also a major communist Minecraft server called the Gay Motherland. Here is a 3D server map.

The old logo didn’t center the Atlantic but still put the north at the center.

I know a couple people in real life, if you don’t you can maybe try to convert people who are “apolitical” or don’t like the status quo but don’t have any solution.

No, Nimeiry was just an anti-imperialist bourgeois nationalist similar to Nasser and he purged the Communist Party after taking power even though they had supported his revolution. You can read more about this in The Darker Nations by Vijay Prashad.

Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul and the Thomas Sankara documentary.

ProleWiki has a lot of books in its library. You can check MIA or Marx2Mao for older theory and Iskra Books for more recent ones.

This is more medieval than ancient, the Crusader states in modern-day Palestine and Lebanon might be considered settler states, and Germans settler-colonized East Prussia (modern-day Kaliningrad) and completely wiped out the natives.

For the USA, Canada, and Australia, I think we should create something like the Soviet of Nationalities in the USSR where all nations in the country have a certain number of representatives. In the USSR it was 25 or 32 for a union republic, 11 for an autonomous republic, 5 for an autonomous oblasts, and 1 for autonomous okrugs. The Soviet of Nationalities, along with the Soviet of the Union elected based on population, had to approve all laws by a majority vote and Russia (excluding non-ethnic Russia autonomous regions within Russia) held less than 10% of the seats in the Soviet of Nationalities in order to prevent Russian chauvinism. All of the autonomous regions had to have their leader be from the local nationality even if ethnic Russians or other non-native ethnicities were a majority, and China has the same policy for its autonomous regions. In the USSR, all union republics were allowed to secede if they wanted to but ASSRs and smaller divisions couldn’t because they weren’t considered big enough to support themselves. For decolonized settler-colonies, I think all colonized nations should have full self-determination.

New Zealand would be more simple since they only have one indigenous group but could apply a similar method. For Japan, the Ryukyuan islands could hold a referendum on whether to be independent and become an autonomous region if they decide to stay like how Xinjiang and Tibet are in China. Although the Ainu are a minority in Hokkaido, they should also have an autonomous region in all or part of the island and be guaranteed some representation.

Autonomous regions of China:

USSR regions (blue: non-Russian union republics, green: ASSRs, orange: autonomous oblasts, red: autonomous okrugs)

• Native nations in the USA
• Native nations in Canada
• Native nations in Australia
• Ainu population in Hokkaido
• Maori population in Aotearoa

I think we should vote for communist candidates if possible as a way to raise class consciousness and protest against the establishment but obviously socialism won’t come through the ballot box.

Can you add this one: “This does not mean, of course, that the proletariat must support every national movement, everywhere and always, in every individual concrete case. It means that support must be given to such national movements as tend to weaken, to overthrow imperialism, and not to strengthen and preserve it. Cases occur when the national movements in certain oppressed countries came into conflict with the interests of the development of the proletarian movement. In such cases support is, of course, entirely out of the question. The question of the rights of nations is not an isolated, self-sufficient question; it is a part of the general problem of the proletarian revolution, subordinate to the whole, and must be considered from the point of view of the whole. In the forties of the last century Marx supported the national movement of the Poles and Hungarians and was opposed to the national movement of the Czechs and the South Slavs. Why? Because the Czechs and the South Slavs were then ‘reactionary peoples,’ ‘Russian outposts’ in Europe, outposts of absolutism; whereas the Poles and the Hungarians were ‘revolutionary peoples,’ fighting against absolutism.” – Joseph Stalin, Foundations of Leninism

It would be cool to send a remote device (super disinfected of course) to record their language and find out how to communicate with them. We shouldn’t send any people to the island though unless they tell us to.

Just a minor suggestion but could you have the quotes link to the ProleWiki library versions instead of MIA for those that are in the ProleWiki library?

We should add this: “‘You are dictatorial.’ My dear sirs, you are right, that is just what we are. All the experience the Chinese people have accumulated through several decades teaches us to enforce the people’s democratic dictatorship, that is, to deprive the reactionaries of the right to speak and let the people alone have that right.” – Mao Zedong, On the People’s Democratic Dictatorship

You should try to change her mind first and show her evidence of how much the CPC has improved the country compared to what they had before 1949 or contemporary countries like India.

Remember that “Israel” occupied all of Palestine, including Gaza and the West Bank, for many years after the 1967 war and it still wasn’t enough to destroy the resistance.

PSL is running Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia. I doubt they’ll win but their campaign might raise class consciousness.

Why doesn’t the UAR include all Arab countries?
