"As far as i was concerned, building a sense of national consciousness was one of the most important tasks that lay ahead of us. I couldn't see how we could seriously struggle without having a strong sense of collectivity, without being responsible for each other and to each other.

It was also clear to me that without a truly internationalist component nationalism was reactionary. There was nothing revolutionary about nationalism by itself-Hitler and Mussolini were nationalists. Any community seriously concerned with its own freedom has to be concerned about other peoples' freedom as well. The victory of oppressed people anywhere in the world is a victory for Black people. Each time one of imperialism's tentacles is cut off we are closer to liberation. The struggle in South Africa is the most important battle of the century for Black people. The defeat of apartheid in South Africa will bring Africans all over the planet closer to liberation. Imperialism is an international system of exploitation, and, we, as revolutionaries, need to be internationalists to defeat it."

As someone living in a Muslim-majority country, I can tell which ritual practice is cultural tradition, which one is Islamic, which one is for optics. Those Iranian footballers didn't need to kiss Al-Qur'an on camera. Nobody actually needs to kiss Al-Qur'an. Muslim community online centres Western comfort so much that they don't want to speak up against Muslim elites. I can understand why for Iranians in Iran. But not for the rest of the Ummah; some of y'all are weird and fascist actually, and some others are socialised in the West.
Muslims in the West live with significantly different material conditions; every critique may feel like anti-Muslim when it's simply anti-hypocrisy. I don't expect them to understand the difference, their lives matter more than those in the periphery, media platforms ensure it.
Non-Muslims, don't interact, or I will intentionally hurt your ego while questioning your politics.

It is quit interesting that like half of the accounts positively interacting with my posts here are self-proclaimed anti authoritarians.

My friends many things I post here are ideologically straight out of the lil red book and #revolution is the most #authoritarian move to pull in a society. I know you do not like #Stalin and shit (me too in an way), but there is an urgent need for higher levels of organizing not on the basis of individuals but of class, the specific conditions and #classconsciousness aka a correct #Marxist line. This is not possible without a political vanguard in the way #Lenin proposed and cadres to be able to have a democratic internal struggle for the correct political line and keep control how the decisions are implemented.

There are so many experiences where #individualism lead to huge problems which has to be prevented with a democratic centralist approach. We generally have to uphold unity after a decision is made, prevent individualistic mistakes and crimes, practices revising the ideas of revolution that in the end serves capitalism, and collect all learnings back into the democratic decision-making. Latest when this is connected with individual sacrifice it is key to have a strong unity so that the individual discipline is not based on violence like in a bourgeois army but on common understanding and agreement. It's not like if you figure out a decision is wrong in practice that it still has to be implemented, just call for assembly to reassess, we are still mostly in times of peace and modern means can help greatly to be able to adapt quickly to an ever-changing reality.

#Democracy in decision-making is key, but only discipline in execution will make sure the #collective can act truly united so progress can be made without individuals sabotaging the process by acting just as such.
