Its really driving me nuts today. I understand the rage about the settlers around the world doing genocide and I froth at the mouth regularly but shitting on workers of the US, germany or any other state is just chauvinism in a different outfit.

The immigrant in germany who makes rap music does not have no culture, tupac who was an american communist did not have no culture, these people are human same as us and it is shocking to me that this huge contradiction is allowed to go unaddressed on a marxist-leninist instance.

I mean this with the best of intentions but please read the room comrade. I feel that I know the thread that has promoted these feelings in you and your comparisons of Tupac and immigrants in the west as representing "western culture" is a insensitive at best and insulting at worst, and I think part of you surely understands that there is something about your own examples that you're not mentioning.

People are dying, yes, it's making every global South comrade here furious, yes, and you'll start hearing statements that may hurt your feelings, but rather than telling us to silence our opinions, maybe take our side and see the failures of your society from our perspectives.
