EcoMaoism: Animal Liberationist, Environmental Mao Zedong Thought
Someone tried to kill Trump again, so we are getting more choreographed tears and sympathizing of the man from American state media. I would never advocate violence and I know I would personally be super sad at the death of a class enemy and oppressor. If you’re a socialist you should also not perform an act of adventurism that will give the regime anything that can be used as propaganda against our ideology. Even though some people may be frustrated by the situation, they can at least enjoy seeing their local news anchors being visibly annoyed that they have to go and fake cry about this again. Additionally this assassination attempt provides us the opportunity to share our political ideas with other people who may be affected by the recent event and open to new political ideas. Communists still have an uphill battle, but things that were once unthinkable to the majority of people are relatively mainstream now, such as wishing death upon political leadership or seeing their own ideas and feelings reflected in a person labeled a terrorist by the media. The people are realizing that their social order is based on exploitation and brainwashing, they just need it articulated to them so they can begin to develop a revolutionary consciousness based on Marxism-Leninism and can articulate these ideas without the tendencies of revisionism, liberalism and right deviationism. To address the question of why people are trying to assassinate certain politicians? Because they are class enemies, and the people do not need Marxism to understand that they are being oppressed by the ruling class. However, that does not mean they deeply understand the complex mechanisms that make their subjugation possible and perpetuate it. Even liberals and rightists are looking through their scopes to try and get a high score on the former president. The news is wailing about anti-government extremism, but in a society where the government is a tool of the bourgeois class, being anti-government is the only way of being a true hero of the people.
As ridiculous and provocative as it may sound to the average person whose perception of the events of Tiananmen square are based on extremist right-wing propaganda from the white house, Tiananmen square rioting was a product of Operation Yellowbird with many student leaders collaborating with the CIA out of Hong Kong. The US also used their spy networks and criminal triads to smuggle the criminals behind the riots out of China and take them to the US when the communist party restored order afterwards. Additionally, many facts and events of Tiananmen square are completely fabricated or heavily distorted by the US regime. The famous “Tank man” was never harmed by the military and even mounted the tank, opened the hatch, and harassed the driver. Many members of the PLA were killed or injured by rioters, with some even hanging. Of course, the US has no sense of irony for their ham-fisted and propagandistic depictions of Tiananmen riots. After one of their officers executed an unarmed civilian by the name of George Floyd, they used rubber bullets and lethal force to suppress protests against police violence, and their police force is still despised by the citizenry to this day not only for their crimes during that time, but the long history that the police force has of harassing and lynching their own citizens, especially those of ethnic minorities that are persecuted by the police. Knowing everything that we know now, I would say that the communist party of China not only handled the situation as carefully and with the least amount of harm to the people as possible, but I would be willing to personally drive a tank into Tiananmen if the protests were happening today. I think any person who truly chooses the proletariat over class enemies should do the same. Western liberals perceive support for the Chinese police as comparable to the blue lives matter movements of the west or the unhinged worship of police in a liberal society. This comparison completely ignores class struggle and is therefore anti-marxist. It also rejects differences in political and authority systems around the world making it first-worldist and undialectical. A person who wants to build a socialist state rejecting the authority of the socialist state to police itself and defend itself is extremely bizarre, and seems to be based on past experience being persecuted by the bourgeois state in various ways. Of course a police force is not perfect and even in a socialist society there can be reactionaries infiltrating or operating within any organization, but the difference is accountability and the protection of the civil rights of the citizens which cannot exist in a dictatorship of the bourgeois.
Many hippies who protested the Vietnam war and supported many progressive ideas ended up becoming obsessed with money, and became a part of the same war machine they probably once hated even if they retain the style, attitudes, and beliefs associated with counterculture. Obviously some people are already lost like those operating on liberal values or who support any reformism of the US which makes their activism and ideology self-limiting. The fall of the soviet union was a great blow to the socialist movement and those that remained were ideologically hijacked by capital.Despite these people experiencing persecution and infiltration by the liberal establishment, they were integrated into society. They are referred to as bourgeois bohemian or corporate hippies now. There are of course similar factors in the socialist movement now that led to the downfall of the hippie movement such as infighting, revisionism, and infiltration by the regime. Their movement was idealistic, non-dialectical and even pushed their members to leave it once they hit a certain age. While modern comrades are (hopefully) not as shallow and pseudo-revolutionary as the people that would sabotage their own movement, outside propaganda does pose a threat to the viability of the current socialist movement. As a comrade, you must understand that regardless of your personal situation, the theories of Marx and Lenin still apply. A person who is a socialist while they are struggling and a liberal when they are doing well financially is operating from their class interests, but is not a true revolutionary and is likely motivated by short-term greed and personal gain more than long-term prosperity, as even the currency they sold out for will become worthless over time with poor governance from a liberal regime. Because I understand the Marxist analysis of society, I know that even if I am offered a six figure job tomorrow, I can still understand that the society I am living in is a class society and therefore primitive and outdated, comparable to a feudal society. I may have more money and be more comfortable, but I can understand that from a socialist perspective, having a bunch of money does not obligate me to conform to US society and ideology. In some ways, being financially secure would allow a person to participate less in the labor market and therefore contribute less to capital. The same way that struggling liberals can support reactionary ideas, a comfortable comrade can support revolutionary ideas because they know a society of Marx is preferable to being wealthy under feudal corporate capitalism. Modern China shows us that socialism can achieve more and create an economy even better for the working class than what is possible otherwise, and because of this it is even more preferable for a person with wealth to live in such a society than a failed state such as the US. Additionally, it must be stated that the process by which a person is stripped of revolutionary ideas and assimilated into society is subtle and often comes from multiple sources. The local community may be liberals promoting ideas that appear to be progressive but do nothing to change the systems we live under, such as voting. You may also be exposed to liberalism through social media or government propaganda such as mainstream news which is controlled by billionaires. Even some more extreme and overt propaganda displays such as American flags everywhere or the national anthem in places where it is unnecessary like sporting events causes psychological effects like developing an affinity for the regime or nationalism towards the regime. As a person trying not to lose your mind to liberalism, you must stay in contact with revolutionary media, revolutionary theory, and revolutionary ideology.
The idea of reforming capitalism from a left-wing perspective would be great if it would provide positive results. In reality, any person who really tries to achieve this without force or at least very clandestine methods will be assassinated. I see socialist parties joining forces with major parties that exist under capitalism, and I can’t help but think they are not operating from the same perspective as orthodox Marxism-Leninism. Social democratic groups might make some great changes or some great connections with like-minded individuals, but they will never put their hands deep in the ground and remove the foundations of the capitalist system at the root. If you’re an anarchist or a social democrat just seeking to make the western world more liveable for yourself, your organization will work for the purpose that you want it to work for.If you are a third-worldist communist who wants to end slavery in the world, destroy the economic systems that allow poverty and exploitation to exist, electoral politics is never going to cut it. I am not trying to lean into adventurism or tell people to do something I would not do. However, there are more ways to influence society than activism. media collectives and propaganda are effective, as shown by the shutdown of various revolutionary media organizations such as Redfish. Rightists are using these tactics without even being factually correct, and it’s gotten so bad for the government that even liberals have made it a priority to combat fake news. If enough people want to end capitalism, they can’t kill everyone and they lose. It’s about winning over enough people to make sure that you cannot just be assassinated to keep the regime in power. The ruling party knows this though and it’s why they have created a society of apathetic, debt-ridden, depressed and hedonistic people that will never be able to challenge them politically. A good way to test if you truly are revolutionary is to see how the establishment reacts to your ideology. Good signs are assassinations, persecutions or general suppression of its members like what we historically see with leftist movements in this country.
Every day, people in the US are persecuted for their race, religion, political ideology, or even those who protest or speak out publicly against the regime. Many people in the US don’t consider going abroad to seek international help and protection in securing their civil rights, and end up becoming IDPs, fleeing to other parts of the country even under the same government that persecuted them. For the very small number who seek protection abroad, there are limited options since other liberal regimes will not accept refugees from a country with similar government systems and oppression similar to their own. Even UNHCR seems to intentionally suppress and censor this information, with their data seems to deliberately exclude internally displaced persons in the United States despite personally having contacted them and told them that I have fled persecution by the American regime. In 2023, the 1,128 US citizens who applied for political asylum abroad were most successful in Russia and Malaysia that accepted 100% of applicants, with Australia being third taking in 66% of applicants. The United Kingdom came in fourth accepting 37% of applicants. Last place is Canada which only accepted 4%. Other places handling asylum applications from US citizens did not accept any of them, deporting citizens of America back to the country where they are likely to live in oppressive conditions and suffer from violations of human rights and dignity. It is likely that those returned to America after seeking asylum abroad are never heard from again. It is important to spread awareness of those attempting to flee from the US regime, and to not allow the pro-government voices from the country to drown out or invalidate those who flee their homes in search of safety and human rights.
The brutal dictator Donald Trump, who led his country into disastrous wars and is known for arbitrary detentions and deportations, human rights abuses, and egregious violations of the geneva conventions, has been shot in an assassination attempt. The murderous tyrant survived with minor injuries as the bullet went past his head and grazed his ear. The billionaire-controlled media is reporting non-stop about this assassination attempt. There are choreographed displays of sympathy being put on by the regime and its supporters. Citizens are finding less biased information online from foreign media. Despite the US government and organizations under its control such as the CIA attempting to assassinate our comrades a dozen times a day, they seem very sensitive to their own leadership meeting the same fate. The CIA tried to assassinate comrade Fidel 634 times, and other leaders around the world working for proletarian democracy and the end of capitalism probably get similar treatment that we will not even know about. On top of this, media coverage of Fidel Castro’s death was extremely one-sided and disrespectful towards Fidel, his supporters, and the nation of Cuba as a whole which provides more advanced civil rights and services to their citizens, who can expect to have longer life expectancy than those in the United States on average. Even though he continues to live, the missing piece of his ear will serve as a reminder of yesterday’s events and the odium that his tyranny has generated towards him. I’m obviously imitating the western media, but I think it’s important to ask, why the hell should we care if this class enemy gets shot, as if we did not live the brutal four years under the regime of that man. It would be so unfortunate for the ruling class and the politicians of the United States if Donald Trump was harmed in some way, but as a person that is not benefiting from capitalism and is actively oppressed and denied basic rights such as health, education, or food by the society I don’t what they expect me to think. Do the liberals know the kinds of things Donald Trump and the United States government do on a daily basis? These people are not our comrades and do not even positively contribute to the state of the world. These are imperialists and fascists. I have no idea why the liberals are wasting saliva defending the actions of this man or trying to garner him any sympathy.
