Will do. Thanks for the help

Alright, thanks. While I did check out the guide to organizing study group pamphlet at first, it opened an introduction(ish) and an "about the author" section, so I got confused, but I just saw the pdf link that was right in front of me in the first place
I meant more irl. Online, it's easy to find such groups as the internet is a means of connecting people on an international level. Irl I'm stuck to a more local level, and while I might be able to get 1,2, or maximum of 3 close friends to join, I don't see a way of expansion especially in an increasingly reactionary social media, which usually results in teens leaning right. By the way, what do you mean by AES? At first in another post you responded to, I thought you meant advanced encryption standard, but that isn't related to this.
Haha, you admit to be a totalitarian tankie
The Lebanese Phalanges Party is a far-right Lebanese party inspired by the European fascist and fascist-style youth movements.
The party, alongside its allies, committed horrific tragedies against humanity. I'm a Lebanese Marxist-Lenninist with a strong understanding of my country's history , so I will try to explain them.
They committed the Black Saturday massacre of 1975, fueling the Lebanese sectarian divide during and after the civil war in Lebanon by dozens to hundreds in response to the assassination of party leader and founder Pierre Gemayel.
They committed the Karantina massacre of January 1976, attacking the Karantine district of East Beirut and specifically killed Palestinians and Muslims. Estimates vary from hundreds to several-hundred killed.
Following the Karantine massacre, on January 1976, they massacred civilians in the coastal town of Damour, killing an estimated 500-1000 and displacing many, known as the Damour massacre.
In Augast of the same year, they seized the Tel al-Zaatar Palestinian refugee camp, tragically murdering thousands.
In June 1978, Tony Frangieh (former president's son) was killed alongside many of his family.
Finally, there is the well-known Sabra and Shatila massacre of 16–18 September 1982, which doesn't need an introduction. Another thing to note: the revolutionary Marxists of Lebanon, including Goerge Ibrahim Abdallah (https://yewtu.be/watch?v=aqJhFmjCs8k), were of the defenders of Sabra and Shatila. Foreign imperialist "peace-makers", including France and The United States claimed they will defend the camps, but we all know how that turned out. Like how the UN withdraw from Rwanda following Belgian imperialist commands, they allowed crimes against humanity to happen and did nothing to try to stop it.
While many stop there, that is not the end of it. Many more horrors were committed against Palestinians refugees.
After the civil war, "temporary" sectarian divisions were placed for "peace". The sectarian divisions still remain, the government is as corrupt as a government can be, and Lebanon is in ruins. Instead of solving injustices, the government is now concerned with disarming the party that has defended Lebanon from invasion since 1982.
but what about the authoritarian totalitarian stalinist maoist lenninist marxist cultural-marxist collectivized red bureaucratic planned economy KGB censored thought police speech police communist socialist surveillance slave police state dictatorship regime? Huh? What if they take my balls and distribute it?
I've heard accusations of shitty working conditions in China where people slave long times at companies like shein and temu (not limited to them though) for cents. Western bs?
Alright, makes sense. Don't agree with the conservative approach, but I understand why. Thanks.
Hello comrade. My goal would be a group of informed marxists while still being inclusive for non radicals, but that would be delusional in my area and my age group, so I'm looking to making you average inclusive marxist study group made to educate ourselves, read collectively, discuss about the book, and of course, like you mentioned, discuss our personal lives, geopolitics, and the global marxist struggle. Lebanon lacks these study groups and the youth need to be introduces to marxism in a capitalist imperialist world. A more personal aspect is I lack comrades, so this way, I can help make ones, or find ones though I doubt it. I'm following https://unity-struggle-unity.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Study-Group-Interior-Pocketbook.pdf, which I saw linked on the prolewiki. I'll definitely try to keep weekly updates and document to guide other radicals getting organised in their respected schools.
