Go to my Tumblr to read Kenopsia, the comic I’m creating that explores a dystopian future scenario where imperialism has successfully destabilized most of the globe. It’s based on the #AdventureTime universe, which itself has themes like this.

These countries have formed the Group of Friends in Defense of the United Nations Charter to defy Washington’s attempts to strong-arm the world. Be wary whenever you hear the U.S. media say negative things about any of them. They’re on the empire’s hit list.

If you grew up in the U.S., there’s a good chance you don’t know that the term “Viet Cong” is a derogatory term for the Vietnamese communists. I used it in a podcast yesterday without knowing this, and my co-host didn’t correct me because he seemingly didn’t know either.

The African masses are tending to reject the U.S. propaganda both about Chinese investments being “colonialism,” and about Russia’s operation in Ukraine being “imperialism,” because unlike Americans they have a profound understanding of what these things mean.

In the last year, the U.S. empire has lost in Afghanistan, failed in its coup in Kazakhstan, and had its Ukrainian proxy be pushed back by Russia. Washington’s project to use central and western Eurasia as leverage for subduing Russia and China is floundering.

Why did Occupy Wall Street not bring a revolution? Why did CHAZ not turn into a long-term breakaway zone? Because without being fundamentally guided by Marxist theory and centered around a revolutionary vanguard/program, revolts go in non-revolutionary directions.

China’s rise in itself represents a return for Marxism-Leninism’s relevancy. And that’s not even the full story; because Russia’s recent acts of defiance against imperialism have accelerated its class struggle, and could end in its old socialist gains being fully restored.

The USSR didn’t fall because Marxism-Leninism is somehow unsustainable, it fell because its leadership strayed from some of the crucial parts of Marxism-Leninism. Khrushchev’s dismantling the dictatorship of the proletariat helped lead to the rise of the traitor Gorbachev.
