Famously things always work out for national liberation movements after they disarm without really achieving their goals

Does anyone know what's going on with the election in Puerto Rico? Last I heard things were close between the pro-independence and pro-statehood parties

The Democratic Party being anti democracy is a great bit, very funny

Republicans love HP computer

While the Peruvian revolution failed, the PCP (CPP is usually Communist Party of Philippines) are notably the one of the only communist parties to have successfully organized and waged a people's war after the 80s (the only other one I can think of is Nepal, who were MLMaoists themselves) and deserves to be studied in the spirit of scientific socialism.

There's a current among Maoists of elevating the PCP and Gonzalo in particular above any of the other active Maoist movements in what's referred as "Gonzaloism". Gonzalo himself has an arguably important place within communist history, but I would not say he's of the particular importance of Marx, Lenin, or Mao like Gonzaloist adherents claim.

That's not what this case was for, it was to establish that there's possibly genocide and that other nations signatory to the genocide conventions must take action to prevent possible genocide.

Actual charges of genocide will need an investigation and lengthy court process.

Edit: just to be clear, I mean from the legal sense about "possible genocide" in that it hasn't been proven in a court. The genocide is obviously happening

I also declare that the Hague will not stop me while I'm doing normal non evil things in everyday life
