Essentially do you see any big modern marxist public figures coming in as the “old guard” ages out? Who?

    I’ve read that just like PSL, Gloria La Riva is unfortunately a plant that is CIA-controlled opposition. I’m still shocked.

    Edit: Why the downvotes? I can provide a link to what I read.

          Does the paranoid “fleawar” person support any actual organizations (besides maybe Hezbollah)? Sure any leftist movement is gonna have feds, but where are we supposed to organize?

            That’s a fair point, but aside from reading their articles, I don’t know much about them.

            I would argue that its not paranoia if there really are people after us, working visibly and in the shadows.

            I don’t have an answer, but I hope the point fleawar is making is that we have to build something on our own.

          Ok, after like 6 hours of going through some of this stuff… There’s not really a lot of convincing arguments. Claiming Gloria LaRiva is a plant is a stretch.

          The author basically denounces anything other than armed resistance; times are different and the PSL is seemingly adopting a coalition effort (although still Marxist oriented).

          Now I do agree that some of these figures that have been invited to podcasts or delivered speeches may be problematic, but those people are neither part of the leadership nor even part of the PSL.

          Whether the PSL has been co-opted, I think only time will tell. Until then still seems to me like a positive force actually organizing and tackling the challenges therein.
