Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

it's mostly 'crushed', the state is now just killing tribal people. Maoist actions used to be daily news in the 2000s and early 2010s but now it's much rarer.
Vietnam has started sending its workers to Israel. China has continued its trade with Israel when it could've destroyed Israel's economy. Communist countries with sovereign powers are engaged in cheap opportunism. Yet, I still support them in the way they have developed compared to other global south countries.
CPI and CPI(M)'s stance was tailism, they supported the war because there was public support for the same, I don't agree with it but that doesn't change my support in general.
you are right, it's tailism, and it's not good enough. revolutionary defeatism or bust. nothing else has ever achieved anything productive.
of course as I said, I still support them over most other parties in the country, which are objectively worse. However we cannot allow "communism" to be reduced in content to global south developmentalism that indulges itself in chauvinist warmongering.
