there's been dozens in the past decade alone, all of which had or have truly long-term revolutionary potential, and all of which were completely ignored, abandoned or actively demonised by most 'leftists' https://twitter.com/Marge2432/status/1289404824975314945
what is happening in Hong Kong in the past year and what's been happening in Syria for the past decade alone will have consequences for decades to come, but try and find one 'leftist' forum on either Hong Kong or Syria that isn't filled with racist bs
The 2011 uprisings, the 2019 Iraqi and Lebanese protests, Chile 2019, India 2019, BLM, the indigenous revolts across the world, the Thai protests, the *multiple* protests in Iran, the Indonesian+Papua protests, western fucking sahara
we have been living through the revolutions of our times for the past decade or two but most of y'all too busy waiting for some of them to quote Che or Mao or fly that stupid red flag before you pay attention
we need to stop looking for pre-existing 'leftist' symbols. they won't come back and good riddance to them all. they do nothing to actually help those struggling against oppression. absolutely nothing
excuse the bitterness, but there's an ongoing genocide in Xinjiang and I'm seeing edgy 'leftists' spending their time dunking on libs because have absolutely nothing to say, just as they've had nothing say about the genocide in Bosnia and Assad's extermination campaigns
