Mentioned elsewhere here but I cannot overemphasize the importance of not jumping to "but I have a different opinion" quite so easily, particularly when it comes to issues relating to existential threats. Not that every BIPOC person is right or you have to agree with every BIPOC person, but dialing the contrarian instinct back a bit is one of the best things you can do. Instead, recognize, empathize, ask questions, and suggest your position respectfully and after consideration.

This is basically the same way to create sn inclusive space in general, btw.

SWCC is more about the direction China took under Deng, which can be anything from praise to neutral to derisive depending on what someone thinks of Deng and that direction (I think it's worked out reasonably well, personally). It is heavily drawn from the direction under Mao, and by necessity cites Mao, so they aren't purely distinct but I would say that means learning about SWCC should involve reading Mao but you can read Mao without SWCC. e.g., the Black Panthers were inspired by Mao's writings and built on them, but did not build on Deng / SWCC.

Radlib is a term whose meaning depends on the person using it.

To a DSA baby DemSoc, a radlib is someone like Elizabeth Warren, someone that coopts anti-capitalist criticisms into milquetoast, explicitly pro-capitalist reforms.

To various kinds of commie, all forms of capitalist reformism or incrementalism might be criticized as radlib, so e.g. they might criticize Bolivia's MAS as radlib (hopefully quietly and behind closed doors).

I think we don't know much about CK. It's at least a good thing for "black liberation is incompatible with capitalism" to be a more popular sentiment.

This is how MLs and ancoms sound to libs btw

Cuba? Monoethnic? Like... if there's one thing people know about ethnicity in Cuba it's the contributions of Afrocubans to the revolution

What is going here? Is this all post Soviet world building lore generated by nato?

It's that and the fact that the Soviets didn't go far enough to purge/reeducate Balts that were, at minimum, 100% fine with the Nazis. A pretty common pattern, actually: the USSR plays something soft for good will and gets smacked because the other side were unredeemably fascist.

Goddamn that's brutal. I love it.
