Is Ibrahim Traoré a Socialist or Just a Left-wing Nationalist? (europe.pub)

Straight forward question. Been trying to gauge the man's politics and I think he leans more toward being an anti-colonial nationalist rather than an outright socialist. Still based and deserving of critical support, but maybe not the next Thomas Sankara; not that he needs to be, but it'd be cooler if he was.

Keep up the good work. I don't think shutting people up is a good thing, and even reinforces a common trope of authoritarian communists who can't engage against criticism, especially from people coming from other circles (liberals, demsocs). I think we should only curb this kind of behavior if we see a lot of activity of the same kind of questions and comments, in a way that undermines the main purpose of this community.
