wojak-nooo fidel please stop dunking on me its hurting the communal spirit fidel-balling

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 58 points 8 months ago

More like "I'm really mad he didn't pass me the ball that one time so I will use the immortal science of Marxist Leninism to demonstrate why being a ball hog is a twelfth type of liberalism"

[-] Vncredleader@hexbear.net 75 points 8 months ago

I think people underestimate how much of a Marxist-Leninist committee-loving guy Che was. Read his diaries, even in the Congo he is always holding committees and not just for utility. The man truly believed in all parts of the ideology, not just direct action. It is really dorky sometimes, and in the best way

[-] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 56 points 8 months ago

A lot of these guys were giant nerds and it's endearing

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 46 points 8 months ago

Would love to hear his thoughts on outdoor cats.

[-] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 27 points 8 months ago

Yah know it is funny, I'm reading a history of the Russian Revolution right now, and for every account of like a cool march or occupation or soldiers defecting from the front, there's like 10 accounts of "Lenin and Trotsky had a meeting where they planned to have another meeting with some other Russian guy so they could plan their meeting with the Soviet so they could organize a committee..."

Jesus Christ that shit sounds more exhausting than adventurism! Can I please just blow something up I can't take any more Committees to form Committees on Committees!!!

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago

You're gonna have to talk to the committee-skipping committee if you wanna skip past the committees like that. They're pretty busy so we've made a committee to schedule their time, so you can swing by us first and we'll fit you in the queue. Were the queue committee, not to be confused by the Q-commitee or the ewe-commitee

in retrospect, maybe this should've been posted to the dunk tank fidel-cool

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 63 points 8 months ago

Che was just salty Fidel kept mopping the floor with him during their one-on-ones.

[-] Mindfury@hexbear.net 54 points 8 months ago

writing in my journal that i'm absolutely NOT MAD that I keep getting styled on

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 40 points 8 months ago

“Che, mijo. Step your game up. You’re already on S and it’s only been 5 minutes! Three more strikes before you get A, N, and O!”

[-] Des@hexbear.net 57 points 8 months ago

lol he did the leftist wall of text but in smack talk form

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 56 points 8 months ago

World-class Cuban healthcare arose out of a need to repair all the ankles Castro broke on the way to the basket.

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 54 points 8 months ago

Right? Simply learn to combat "the step."

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 26 points 8 months ago

Mao delineating a dozen forms of "The Step" a la Combat Liberalism.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 51 points 8 months ago

Fellas, is Fidel too baller?

[-] DefinitelyNotAPhone@hexbear.net 49 points 8 months ago

Glad to see the "are women bourgeois?"-type discourse predates the modern left.

[-] whoops@hexbear.net 27 points 8 months ago

All the women I know seem to be lumpen

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 32 points 8 months ago

In Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth (1961), the lumpenproletariat of the colony, as ex-peasants displaced by the introduction of capitalist relations of production in agriculture, carry the kernel of the peasantry’s anti-colonial culture to the cities, where they play a crucial role in the emerging revolutionary nationalist movement. In the United States in the 1960s–1970s, the Black Panther Party postulated that the African American lumpenproletariat could, because of the racial and economic histories of American capitalism, be organized as a revolutionary agent.

I'm imagining Fidel playing like a Harlem Globetrotter, showboating while Che is just trying to play pickup basketball

[-] angrytoadnoises@lemmygrad.ml 44 points 8 months ago

damn bros my basketball skills lead me to believe i'm revolutionary as fuck

[-] Mindfury@hexbear.net 41 points 8 months ago

on the eurostep question

[-] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 38 points 8 months ago

Amigos, es homosexual para jugar al baloncesto?

[-] gitgud@lemmy.ml 34 points 8 months ago

The day El Che gave in to revisionism. This is why constant self-crit is important.

[-] Weedian@hexbear.net 33 points 8 months ago

Che wouldn't like afromans more showboating policy

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 33 points 8 months ago

It's real

Also it reads like a joke, not something serious

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 19 points 8 months ago

I'm not so sure -- that article basically just recycles the Medium article it links to, which has "quotes" like this:

Spencer Hawes: People seem to think I don’t do the Euro Step because I’m not athletic enough, but the real reason is that I refuse to pay homage to such a “bad hombre.”

That Che diary entry either exists or doesn't, that's what to focus on.

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Yeah, I would like a primary source now. I just wanted to find something that wasn't just this JPEG posted here. Would probably be in Spanish is it exists.

Alright, after reading the medium article this is clearly some sort of joke. None of those quotes read in the voice of any of the people that they're supposed to be from and sound more like interview responses than journal entries or "declassified documents".

A fun bit that it seems got cycled through the blog circuit and ended up in more credible papers to fill space.

[-] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 33 points 8 months ago

Fidel: "Che stop being such a fucking nerd!"

[-] glans@hexbear.net 32 points 8 months ago

Is the criticism here that he's playing basketball or that he's too good at it

[-] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 35 points 8 months ago

The criticism is the move has too much "flash and pomp" so they're basically saying he's not acting "presidential."

[-] glans@hexbear.net 21 points 8 months ago

but it's because he wins at basketball, not because he plays basketball, right?

I can read it both ways

Che: Yes, it leads to a basket, but at what cost to the communal spirit?

Imagine if they managed to produce Cuban Jokic and sent him to play in the NBA

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 20 points 8 months ago

Is... Is The Step bourgeois?

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago

No way is this real, right?
