The Black Panthers get a pass; they didn’t live long enough to become the villains, and there’s no guarantee that they would have. The BPP was far more prefigurative than vangaurdist, and it was the combination of these things that made them seem so threatening to the powers that be.
I didn’t say they weren’t, I just said their prefigurative politics were more prominent. I’m of the opinion that what someone does is more important than what they say, and if they hadn’t been undermined by COINTELPRO who knows where their thinking and organizational structure would have gone. I just think there was something truly transformative about the BPP that could have grown into something beautiful if they’d had the opportunity.
I marxism-leninism was at the core of the ideology though. All of their politics sprang from there. I’m not complaining or anything, but this poster is marxist-leninist propaganda.
Oh, so we don’t have an affordability crisis, homelessness epidemic, opioid OD epidemic, a vanishing middle class and a level of wealth disparity that hasn’t been seen since the 1920s.
i don’t understand what you want explained, the side-bar says no marxism-leninism and the post is marxist-leninist agitprop. Not that I’m against it, but it’s a bit weird.
I thought marxism-leninism wasn’t allowed?

The bpp absolutely was a vanguardist party though??? They were an explicitly leninist party???

Is it propaganda if it’s true?
Despite what genocidal despots want you to think, material analyisis is not synonymous with Marxism-Leninism.
But the black panthers were marxist-leninists
Not in the

What’s your favorite enrule then🤣?
Are offended because I changed the title to follow The Rule?
(✕⍯) is not! (✕⍯) enjoys humor, as much as anyone!
Want (✕⍯) to post before (✕⍯) leaves?
Do it!
Do you feel that this is a message that should be censored?
Obviously not, i think the rule is stupid as it precludes posting about a bunch of liberation movements. The SACP is another one for example.
where?
The black panther party was explicitly marxist-leninist, this poster is marxist-leninist agitprop
Was anything it said not reflective of reality?
No, they were marxist-leninist through and through
Putting aside the political leanings of the author, was anything spoken about in the poster not reflective of reality today?
That’s the question my “no” was meant to answer.
Oh, so we don’t have an affordability crisis, homelessness epidemic, opioid OD epidemic, a vanishing middle class and a level of wealth disparity that hasn’t been seen since the 1920s.
Huh?
answer: no, it is reflective of reality
is any of that not allowed somewhere? you answered the “what” not the “where.”
