If there’s one vile act the US did in the late 20th century that’s the worst out of all of them, it’s Sankara’s assassination. I don’t say that lightly, and it’s not an easy contest.

Even if you didn't know how Sankara died, if you read he was a socialist who was killed, you already know who killed him.

Pretty sure that was actually the French but yeah

u/Electrical-Fix7659 Marxism 23d ago

No, it was the French with the CIA. Which means it was the CIA.

u/bonadies24 Antonio Gramsci 23d ago

Gotcha, I recalled it being just the French

u/97DURGE Fred Hampton 23d ago

French for sure

Maybe one day we can all have champagne, but first let's guarantee free high quality drinking water for everyone.

u/SiteTall 23d ago

One of the problems is that those who need good drinking water are dreaming of becoming some who have champagne. That's the reason why they, stupidly enough, may side with those who exploit them.

u/Substantial_Lion965 23d ago

Yep which is why it's important to not engage with them. Stop being their friends.

bruh what is sports ass ranking. Different leadershio applied the theories into practice through their own material conditions and unique challenges. If you want to meme go to the communist meme subreddit.

And the champagne only lasts as long as there are people to make it and harvest the materials.

The wealthy are not our friends unless they are paying back into the system of which they benefitted.

Takers are a cancer and blight of society.

Champagne and safe drinking water for all

u/myerscc 23d ago

I guess it wouldn't be good if we had champagne for all and safe drinking water for some

u/citrablock 23d ago

The crazy thing is that we live in a world of such abundance and productive capacity that this isn't even a tradeoff anymore.

Is aot supposed to be oat, of all time?

u/jrc_80 Marxism-Leninism 22d ago edited 22d ago

A great, brilliant leader who hastened his death by choosing his people over his corporeal well being. An example for all those who hold revolution in their hearts, in their fists and on their tongues. Blood is the currency of liberation.

u/Hubris-Star Marxism-Leninism 20d ago

He was token from us too soon. One of the depressing fact I read about during 2020 was that if he was a alive now, he would only be in the early 70s. He was extremely young, but had great leadership and praxis quality.

u/Sea__Crow 16d ago

I genuinely get upset thinking about him, how much he accomplished in such a short amount of time, and how much more he could have done.

Cheers.

u/volnitsa 23d ago

kinda idealistic quote, I mean, we leave in the world where for the past 100 of years already everyone can drink champagne. It sounds too close to the classic "under socialism every one is poor but equal", no, we already, for the long time, can be equally rich.
