What a sad and pathetic person

Yeah, seriously, it screwed me up when I read about it. I had a week years ago where morbid curiosity got the better of me and I was watching videos and reading about all these odd real life horrors that have happened to people. It seriously messed with my mental health. I don't do that anymore. This one still sticks with me 
Yeah I just found out about the animation feature. Thanks all for the info. Got a chuckle whenever it refers to Russia as "the enemy"
This is an interesting animation (abstracting away from the human costs of war). Did you make it yourself or is there a link in the megathread that I've been missing?
Hey i justed wanted to let you know that even though I'm not part of CPUSA and through years of lurking I've also noticed you are one of the few, if not the one, who gives the "other side of the story", wrt them, I still always appreciate and enjoy your comments and I am sorry if you feel lonely or isolated from others here. I'm sure I'm not the only one, either, who appreciates your presence here. Party differences aside. Maybe I'm being too sappy, just wanted to send good vibes to you
I am afraid to doxx myself if I say. I was a little afraid to even mention the above incident, but I'm probably being paranoid. I'll give hints, and just indirectly doxx myself lol.
They call themselves an anti revisionist Marxists Leninist group. They were maoist in the 60s. They worked with SDS in the 60s.
They then broke with China. One of the reasons they state was due to China's "elevation" of the Black Panther Party as the vanguard in the United States. I guess they were jealous. They also are really anti black nationalism, and just nationalism in general. They won't read Fanon. They complain about Palestinian flags at protests because of "nationalism".
Like I said in another reply, I didn't do the due diligence before joining - my mistake. It also discouraged me because it is either that group or a trotskyist group (sorry for sectarianism). So barren.
Completely agree with you. It was such a shit take and that and their take on Hamas was the last straw, I left (sorta got kicked out). See response Nocturne Dragonite for more info. They legit see themselves as communists, but for practical purposes are shit. It really discouraged me for a while because them and a trotskyist group (sorry for sectarianism) with bad takes on AES and any actual existing anti imperialism were the only communist groups I could find in the whole area. Just horrible chauvinism all around.
Pretty much every local communist group I've tried to be active in has this problem. They always have to sprinkle in something about Chinese or Soviet Imperialism, then (no surprise) tell us that Palestinians should join with Israel workers, and same for Ukrainian and Russians. No real understanding of anti imperialism and what forms it will take. Always finding a reason why we can't support any real concrete opposition to western hegemony.
One of these communist groups even told me that South Africa today is just as bad, if not worse, than when under Apartheid. And they also hated the Black Panthers.
So much work needs to be done in the West.
Trump derangement syndrome is real for these people. My older liberal friend is sweet in so many ways, but desr God she just has to bring up Trump every goddamned time any criticism of anything is brought up. It's the safety valve, scapegoat, to place all of our failures on. But we already know that about them. Really shows how limited their understanding of the world is. Almost everything she is afraid of has already come true, but she fails to see it because it didn't happen under scary Trump. Or, maybe she just doesn't care
