Not anti-imperialist given domestix policy (aforementioned privatizations, etc). Just not an imperialist running dog like Boric

PSUV is not a force for socialism, and as such they seek to destroy those who actually fight for it. In fact the PSUV is actively trying to dismantle the PCV https://pcb.org.br/portal2/30320

As a Brazilian organized communist,

Just no. Especially his latest moves. In fact last night he just pushed a provisional measure (a law that can take effect now, go to congress later) to legalize cassinos and other gambling establishments. Effective immediately too

He's not done any actual reforms, just means tested welfare programs. In fact he privatized a bunch of stuff in his first tenure. He also signed the drug laws that shot incarceration rates sky high (in fact a comrade was arrested for possesing weed and not released for over a year despite not being sentenced).

His job is making things seem "not all that bad" and keeping the forces of reaction well fed.

I'm not mad at you for not knowing, but as a Brazilian Communist I am extremely angry at the fact they misled you

Edit: I can go on and on and if y'all actually want me to. Don't "support" this enemy of our class in front of me again.

And yes, he's better than the "electorally viable" alternatives, but we have second rounds for election so we vote communist!

IIRC, Cuba also embraced FOSS to an extent.

I legit put a defense of it on a communist youth pamphlet we targeted toward the Compsci center. All countries that want any tech sovereignty should build FOSS stat

It's all nothing without putting it to practice tbh. I think practicing actual Marxism-Leninism is what's lacking. Plenty of academic works exists if you know where to find them

Not that I'm against making stuff more accessible, but I find that works best when allied to actual parties and such. In Brazil for instance plenty of my comrades in the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB) are translating works from their source Russian texts and publishing them online and to books. Helps fundraise too.

I take China's stance: please let's fucking talk this over because we're only doing more harm right now

But for this war to end Ukraine has to stop being outright nazis in service of imperialism. We need organizing of armed dissidence inside Ukraine. We need conscripted soldiers fragging their imperialist commanders stat
