1.1: I was looking to familiarize myself with MAGAcommunism and how to identify its talking points as to avoid it. Seems like they’re pretty transparent to spot though. I then became enthralled with the recourse itself since Wikipedia has an anti left lean, and was dissatisfied with the lack of indigenous topics. I am a Lakota Leftist and feel my knowledge and perspective can be of use in particular towards that. 1.2: The Lakota have traditionally been egalitarian society based on community and respect for life around you. I was familiar with my people’s views my whole life and found Marx to have a great understanding of what it meant to live. The Lakota don’t have a word for communism, but I’d say our life goal of “Mitakuye Oyasin,” which is a statement of respect for not only the people around you but the other parts of the eco system. Previously was Anprim as I was only trying to reject the idea of the west and had a misinformed idea that progress following colonialism is colonizer history when it’s really indigenous history (especially when you factor Colombian exchanges medical benefits for the colonizers using our knowledge). Hope that’s sufficient, I did try to keep it simple. 1.3: I did, I agree with resisting capitalism, colonialism, and social conservatism and am a huge proponent of the liberation of the proletariat from Pine Ridge to Palestine. Although I do not agree with a Liberal Russia and will forever advocate for Lenin’s vision, I am staunchly Anti-NATO and will not be adversarial to other comrades analysis of events. 1.4: gender is entirely social. My people have traditionally had a far more progressive view as opposed to our colonizers, and have had a multiplicity of gender identities forever. Critical Support for the liberation of our LGBTQ+ comrades. 1.5: I previously was less aware about geopolitics and grew up in the South Dakota Public School system. I’ve probably said stupid shit in the past about Stalin before I was able to do my own reading, as Molotov-Ribbentrop was the only WWII appeasement measure ever mentioned (totally leaving out all of the wests appeasement and the suggested solidarity against the nazis.) I dream of a stateless world where we can exist to be a part of society and better it with an abolition of currency. I saw Mao and Stalins existence in a state as paradoxical but that was before I realized the world’s positioning against them needed defensive posturing. Soviet aid to Afghanistan and its exporting of State Atheism was backward in my opinion, as I believe culture and spirituality play an important role in a lot of people’s life. It’s some peoples opium, but it’s also John Browns abolitionist meth. 1.6: I have very little knowledge about modern politics of many of these countries as I live in the imperial core and am limited by the news sites of the capitalist. I however recognize this fact, and have been doing what I can to mind political situations abroad. That’s why I’m glad I found this site— to be able to comb through the capitalists disinformation. 1.7: Settler colonialism is the weaponization of an imperial states population through military, industry, housing, and agriculture to remove and replace an indigenous population. Examples include the entirety of the Western Hemisphere with minor exceptions for states attempting decolonialism at least in part like Bolivia (such as the United States, Canada, Brazil), Israel, and I’d go so far as to argue Liberia with its exporting of a class system from the US, Australia. I say that the United States exports its colonialism to such an extent that we NEED to decolonize to let the rest of the world do it without US interference, but will advocate for progress wherever it is 100%. 1.8: I first learned of Israel’s occupation of Palestine in freshman year of high school, and got a bad feeling that I was reading Custer talking about my people when I read from West-facing zionists remarks about Palestinians. After talking to Palestinian kids in my neighborhood (hard to believe but yes South Dakota is very diverse if you look at just Sioux Falls) I became comfortable with my opposition against the occupation of Israel. When I got the notification talking about paragliders I understood that this wasn’t Bone Tomahawk— this was the Dakota Rebellion that resulted in the Dakota 38+2. This was hunger and pain and suffering. From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free.
2.1: dialectical materialism is what separates the populist and the socialist: the populist uses the proletariats anger to keep them uneducated and distracted, the socialist tells the proletariat who they are truly angry at. The socialist reveals that it’s not a Kabal of Child Eating Lizards controlling our minds through “they live” style hidden words, but rather those who own the means of production and exploit our labor and the surplus value of to lobby for the furthering of their goals (the deepening of their pockets). 2.2: LandBack from the occupying imperial powerhouse that is the US is the single best way to ensure a free world for the proletariat. There’s a reason why reservations are small and scattered: indigenous liberation in the western hemisphere would result in a change of world culture no longer occupied by military bases and UN veto power. 2.3: my mother and auntie ran a shelter for abused and exploited indigenous women when I was growing up, and saw the patriarchy as inherently opposed to the way of my people (as we were matrilineal egalitarians). I literally thought Marxist Feminism was what feminism was until I was exposed to TERFS when I got social media. 2.4: the idea of nuclear families are anti indigenous as hell. I don’t know how to abolish that system cause it’s not a system I as a Lakota live in. We have always lived in extended communities I got family in 5 states and 2 Providences everywhere I go is home. I guess best thing I say is live to be a good relative to everybody do the Lakota way. 2.5: most pressing issue is we live in the epitome of capitalism and it’s entering its death throws. Fascists always set their sights on us as communists cause we see their lies. But if you mean what would radicalize people? Probably healthcare.
3.1: maybe separate boxes for each question? I don’t mind referring back to the list when typing but that’s gotta be hard to read everybodies self-formatting. Otherwise I like it questions are really great. 3.2: no
