Don't forget to pop some kernels when you're done.

I will consider this with an open mind. Thank you for this response comrade.

The last one was disagreeing with their trading with Israel. Another was saying certain actions of theirs were imperialistic.

I think the idea behind the cultural revolution was sound, but it's implementation was incredibly flawed. Students were often pitted against workers, sowing chaos that led to the government having to send in troops to restore order against a movement they themselves initiated.

Any time I bring up a viewpoint that runs counter to the CPC, I typically get a lot of flak in this comm. I apologize for assuming in this instance.

The Albanian cultural revolution was inspired by the cultural revolution in the PRC, but was implemented differently and yielded much more positive results.

Bourgeois nationalism is essentially utilizing nationalism to distract from class struggle.Β 

I answer this first because the Three World Theory serves a similar purpose. In part due to this, China began prioritizing Chinese national interests over global revolution. It abandoned class analysis and led to China supporting only revolutions that supported it's own interests. Examples include the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, the FNLA in Angola, and trying to get North Vietnam to capitulate to a ceasefire leaving a divided country like Korea during the Vietnam War.

I meant alliance in more of a figurative sense. Perhaps in alignment with would be better phrasing. Rather than remain in the global struggle against imperialism, which was primarily perpetrated by the US, China began collaborating with the US. Against the USSR in many cases. The examples above apply to this as well. The Three Worlds Theory worked to position China as a leader of the "third world" and rather than unite against imperialism and capitalist exploitation, they facilitated it in many ways.

Class struggle defines proletarian revolution. Overthrowing the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and establishing the dictatorship of the proletariat is the goal.

Hoxha defended the legacy of Stalin when the rest of the world was eating up propaganda against him, exposing the anti-communist and anti-Leninist deviations of Khrushchev and the Warsaw Pact countries

His works help refine the importance of the Party as vanguard of proletarian revolution

Exposed Titoism as the first manifestation of modern revisionism or revisionism in power

Deepened the revolution at home through a genuine cultural revolution

Supported the development of new Leninist Parties across the world

I agree with critical support for AES states. But I do not agree with dogmatically supporting all of their choices. We can do better and should strive to.

Everything stated here is spot on, though I respectfully disagree with the Hoxha portion.

Hoxha called the USSR revisionist after Stalin because not only did Khrushchev denounce Stalin and undo much of the progress he made, but he made reforms that shifted their economy back towards a market oriented economy. He and subsequently leaders continued this trend and bourgeois influence wormed it's way back into the state. This contributed significantly in it's eventual downfall. This line of thinking began with Khrushchev's "Secret Speech" not immediately flowing Stalin's death.

China he considered revisionist due to the Three Worlds Theory, their embrace of bourgeois nationalism, and their alliance with the US and other capitalist states under the US's sway. Rather than committing to anti-imperialist solidarity, they chose to align with imperialist interests. Deng's reforms further supported this claim. Hoxha criticized China's revisionist tendencies before they stopped providing aid. To say he did this in reaction to the end of aid being sent from China is just false.

Again with respect, in this area the arguments you made are rather misleading. I don't consider myself a Hoxhaist, but I believe he made great contributions towards continuing ML theory rather than making concessions to the bourgeoisie class like many others have.

Grover Furr's books are great. Commonly spread misconceptions and falsehoods countered with historical records and verifiable sources.

Highly recommended.

That's kind of what I meant. Implementing both of those things together on a VPN is unique AFAIK.

I would imagine if you could trust the entry node that would also mitigate a significant amount of risk, no? I'm not deeply knowledgeable on the subject just FYI
