@Blake_ramz @evduzit That’s fine. I don’t necessarily disagree. But, from where we sit now, I’d be glad for more, not less, liberation theology. It makes sense in a lot of LatAm contexts, and a lot of its practitioners eventually leave it for secular left politics.

[Micah Landau🌹 @MicahLandau]

@Blake_ramz @evduzit I supported Chavismo too. I’m guessing you have some orthodox Trotskyist politics? I’m sympathetic but it’s too stringent for me. Don’t make the perfect enemy of the good.

[Micah Landau🌹 @MicahLandau]

@Blake_ramz @evduzit I would still have supported them in their context.

[Micah Landau🌹 @MicahLandau]

@Blake_ramz @evduzit It’s extremely simplistic to discount all social-democratic formations out of hand. In some contexts, they are allies. In others, not. Unless you’re ML, in which case I guess you always view them as enemies. But I’m your enemy too then. No to authoritarian socialism.

@Blake_ramz @evduzit I don’t like the current incarnation of the FSLN. Talk to one of their splinter groups or a veteran of the original org. Using shorthand while at work and bc this is Twitter.

@forgaybabyjail @butleriano Strong reaction to an online debate. Sounds like you need some hobbies.

[Micah Landau🌹 @MicahLandau]

@butleriano @forgaybabyjail Not sure one can say that about a diffuse trend that has existed on and off in multiple countries across the region. Can an idea or belief system be crushed in that way? It is part of the history and fabric of the Latin American left.

[Micah Landau🌹 @MicahLandau]

@Blake_ramz @evduzit Talk to the EZLN or Sandinistas and they will uphold it.

[Micah Landau🌹 @MicahLandau]

@Blake_ramz @evduzit Yeah, and the USSR signed a non-aggression pact with the Nazis. What’s your point? No one said liberation theologians are infallible, and far more did not collaborate than did.

[Reggie Saxx @ReggiSaxx]

white leftists making “jokes” about doing a Trail of Tears 2.0 and if you take issue with it “You’re acting like an israeli”. There is no salvaging this

@intobiglemurs @ZedSoxs You do know that Malcolm X, in your profile pic, subscribed to an Abrahamic religion, right? So he was a Jewish supremacist? Make it make sense 🙄

[Micah Landau🌹 @MicahLandau]

Love it. The guy attacking Abrahamic religions, which are certainly not above criticism but that is very different than total condemnation in a bigoted way, has Malcom X in his profile picture.

[🌹✊🐝🇭🇰☭♻️🇺🇦🇵🇸 @ZedSoxs]

Thinks all Abrahamic religions are bad. Has a proud Muslim as his PFP

[Micah Landau🌹 @MicahLandau]

@ZedSoxs 😂😂😂

[Micah Landau🌹 @MicahLandau]

@forgaybabyjail @butleriano Liberation theology remains an important current in Latin America, hence the US-centric nature of the original comment.

[Micah Landau🌹 @MicahLandau]

@butchcreature27 I’m not religious but I’m w the religious folks on this - bc other side isn’t really attacking religion, they’re attacking national rights of oppressed nationalities, which include right to practice culture and religion. Note that they are *not* attacking white evangelical church

[Micah Landau🌹 @MicahLandau]

National liberation for me but not for thee.

[Dr. Bipolar Marxist🪶☭26 @Dr_Marxist_27]

It's possible to critique the Manifest Destiny colonialism that developed from Christian theology while simultaneously recognizing, as Engels did, that the early Church of Christianity was practicing primitive communism and was revolutionary at that time.

[Micah Landau🌹 @MicahLandau]

The debate over religion & culture of last few days has revealed there is a section of the “online left” that basically believes in forced assimilation of national minorities. They’ve attacked religious Jews, the black church and native communities. Stupidest class reductionism.

[vera ⊹ 🪶 @veralante]

current twitter discourse being “leftists” calling for indigenous genocide and “a second trail of tears” with hundreds of people agreeing 🫠 why do y’all hate indigenous people so much
