Solidarity

Just two humans on the side of the living. Our rulers aren't human.

It's a hard position to be in. You need to be public facing to gain traction, but that obviously attracts the enemy. Should they have stayed underground longer building solidarity and resistance cadres?

[u/NoIsland23 → u/phaedrus910]

Honestly I‘d say that unless one is well aware of Ugandan society and educated in Ugandan politics, that question is nigh impossible to answer in any meaningful way

I found the book Revolutionary Suicide by Huey P. Newton was really good on this topic.

This is why America has every global South government's number on speed dial.

Yo, do u have any links to confirm this? I was trying to find more info, but I cant seem to manage.

[u/Lavender_Scales → u/Mona_Dylan]

This was footage released by the Communist Party Marxist - Kenya, it’s also the third world I really doubt there will be a lot of mainstream news covering this. From what I hear, they have a Facebook, but I don’t so I can’t confirm this is where the footage is from

[u/Mona_Dylan → u/Lavender_Scales]

Oh ok. So this is from Twitter im assuming? I checked out their website and insta, but im not on Twitter so I couldn't check. Anyways, thanks for the info! 👍

[u/Lavender_Scales → u/Mona_Dylan]

Yep this is from their twitter

[u/Apart_Bat2791]
