If your first instinct as a westerner is to criticize and lecture 3rd world communist movements, instead of learning from their successes, then you have internalized the patronizing arrogance of the colonial system you claim to oppose.

This l find a general attitude among the Westerners.

I wrote my thesis about how we can learn from Cuba's green farming movements (because they were essentially locked out of capitalism) and was criticized for it.

If you are offended by this, you might be incapable of self-reflection

Imagine getting offended by this instead of just being anti-colonialist

Why do white crackers have to be so set in their ways?

Simply put: maintaining the status quo is prerequisite to their comfortable living.

Western liberals who think they are entirely objective and free of bias really struggle to get to grips with how much of their world view is just patronizing racist chauvinism.

Also I'm not even sure why liberals are permitted on lemmy. Send them and their disgusting violent ideology back to corporate media.

They don't have any problems with US corporate media's ideology. They're just mad reddit took away their app treats.

The obvious one is China. But if you wanna learn a little something, read about Sankara. If you want a whole book of histories of the third world national liberation and socialist movements, read The Darker Nations by Vijay Prashad.

I don't know why they even left Reddit. Were they really that mad about app development?

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

Depends which wave of newcomers. Some in more recent migrations just got banned for criticizing musk or endorsing Luigism, which is pretty milquetoast stuff any old lib can do.
