Malala became the worst sellout and Greta became an actual activist.

I never thought that would be the case, but hindsight is 20/20.

[-] SmokinStalin@hexbear.net 23 points 3 weeks ago

Wait what happened with Malala?

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

She turned out to be a communist

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 44 points 3 weeks ago

Other way around. She started out as a communist, and used her platform for promoting that for some time, but she ended up submitting herself to the consultancy insustrial complex so now she's just an NGO ghoul.

[-] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 3 weeks ago

She's organized with trots, but otherwise she seems based.

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago

Do you know if she still organizes with any communists though? Because AFAIK, for the most part, since starting her foundation it's just been UNICEF and the sort of UN affiliated NGOs that do good work (maybe inappropriate to call her a ghoul) yet do not stand a chance to change material reality in a meaningful way.

I have absolutely no clue.

Malala

idk who she is ,how did she sell out ?

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 35 points 3 weeks ago

She was an Afghan girl who was shot in the head by a member of the Taliban and then rescued by the US and was intended to be used for propaganda purposes, until it turned out she wasn't the average American and had an actual brain in her head; She called the US' presence in Afghanistan an occupation and revealed she's actually a communist. After that no one would talk to her.

No idea how she sold out though.

until it turned out she wasn't the average American and had an actual brain in her head; She called the US' presence in Afghanistan an occupation

that sounds based

but I read her wiki and it says she was silent on Gaza until she was criticized by contemporarieswhich to me is something no communist would do

I appreciate that post Oct 7 many people have been radicalized in Palestine's favor, but anyone considering themselves a Communist and not being pro-Palestine is absolutely a comprador, pre or post Oct 7 alike. The genocide in Palestine has been going on for more than half a century, there has been more than enough time to see.

but anyone considering themselves a Communist and not being pro-Palestine is absolutely a comprador

that is what I am sayin

no serious communist" is against righteous national liberation movemnets

Yeah that's because over the last few years she became more liberal. She only focuses on education and women's rights, but through Western NGOs instead of something more revolutionary.

[-] CommCat@hexbear.net 23 points 3 weeks ago

Pakistani, she and her dad made a speech at Trot IMT's Pakistan branch before the Taliban incident. Yep, the Western elites dropped her fast when she was more radical than they liked, last I heard she was studying in the West?

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

She went to Oxford, on a scholarship I believe.

And yes, she sold out bc over the years she's shown herself to be a liberal that uses NGOs and pretty much hasn't been heard of at protests.

The key is this: Pakistanis all over twitter and TikTok have been skeptical of her since she was first known.
