like fr fr, kim wanted the socialist nations to stick together even if they saw each other as 'revisionist' for the sake of anti imperialism. A 'big red tent' as he called it. Socialist splitting only helps the capitalists.
:yea:
mao, though technically right in it (kruschev was an insane revisionist), but in response called the USSR basically nazi germany and then siding with the USA in the cold war. It just became opportunism and shattered world communism into multiple pieces it didn't need to be.
Kruschev was also a fucking opportunist because he was forcing dogshit policies onto every country they had influence in. He tried to force the DPRK to 'destalinize' which was to basically become an economic and political puppet to the USSR.
It's so disappointing. Mao basically ended up treating the smaller socialist countries like how the USSR had treated the CPC.
and several times supported literally the worse groups ever. The mujaheddin, UNITA, TDF, and other far right groups.
Khmer Rouge. Listening to latest season of blowback and the one on Afghanistan has been extra saddening
yeah the Khmer Rouge is a fuckin crazy one. The split in the socialist movement definitely prevented us from truly being able to win the cold war.
