As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
I'm reading Trans/Rad/Fem by Talia Bhatt and it's so good, but also how do you go about your day normally after realising by being a trans woman you're a revolutionary in a war against the heterosexual occupation of gender that has lasted over five thousand years?
Reading this book has made me think my transfeminism is equally as important as my Marxism-Leninism in ways that intersect, compliment and diverge at times.
Like the relationship between Juche and Marxism-Leninism.
Ok but what is the relationship between Juche and Marxism-Leninism? Because I've tried to wrap my head around it a few times and always struggle.
(Also, Juche Gender, let's fucking gooo!)
It's kind of like how in South East Asia many religions can be complimentary with another. You can be a Buddhist or a Taoist or both together
Juche is a materialist philosophy of self determination based of the Korean people's cultural history and experience. It is not contradictory to ML or DiaMat (or at least mostly)
Think two significantly overlapping circles on the venn diagram. The DPRK uses both. Like if you'd discovered calculus one way and another person showed you their way. Each with some separate extra bits and idiosyncrasies.
