  • Bandera was in Plast, then he later recruited from it in forming the OUN-B. The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church funded Plast, and also the SS Galicia Division having string ties with the OUN-B. Plast in the Diaspora remains connected the the UGCC and former SS members set up the scouts over in the US, CA, and AUS. Here they taught revisionist history and celebrated Bandera and whitewashing their actions. After the union fell, Plast veterans went back to Ukraine and took over main industries and state positions. After the coup in 2014 the state made Plast almost mandatory as an assimilation tool.

    Proud past

    The Ukrainian scouting movement known as Plast was formed in 1911 in Lviv. Throughout more than 100 years of its activity, Plast has endured various challenges: from world wars, when Plast scouts showed their endurance under extreme circumstances, to a period of underground activity when Plast was outlawed by the Polish state in 1930.

    When the Soviet Union took control of Ukraine it banned the organization, but the Ukrainian diaspora revived Plast after World War II in different parts of the world: Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Argentina and others.

    Plast was to eventually renew its activity in Ukraine in 1989. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the restored movement in their homeland. Today Plast has 10,000 members in Ukraine and thousands in nearly 20 countries – which makes it the largest Ukrainian youth movement in the world.

    Among the famous Plast members were not only such historical figures as Stepan Bandera or Roman Shukhevych, recognized as heroes of the anti-Soviet nationalist uprising in Ukraine, but also economist and benefactor Bohdan Hawrylyshyn, former major archbishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Church Lubomyr Husar, and Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland.

    Active position

    Although Plast calls itself “non-political,” it has also never shied away from supporting Ukraine’s fight for independence or helping in its struggle to counter the Kremlin’s attempts to undermine Ukrainian sovereignty. Many Plast members took leading roles in the protests that became the 2014 EuroMaidan Revolution, and when ex-President Viktor Yanukovych’s special police forces shot and killed more than 100 protestors, Plast members were among the dead and wounded.

    They also were among those joining the armed volunteer battalions in spring 2014 that fought against Russian-backed separatists. But for the diaspora, Plast often serves as a bridge between modern life and Ukrainian tradition and between their countries and Ukraine.

    Once again I have a Chunka Luta book recommendation: Indigenous Paleolithic by Paulette Steeves

    Archeology as a discipline in the West functions as a Colonial tool to deny the history of Indigenous peoples. The biggest example is the “Clovis First Theory” (debunked) that posits all Indigenous peoples of the Americas descend from migrations across the Bering Strait during the last glacial maxim. Archeologists who made their careers on this study have bullied and physically harmed opponents to their hypothesis. US settlers over and over have destroyed archeological sites intentionally (and many unintentional as well) and this has been used to deny how long people have been living in the western continents. (Another example is the “genetic testing” and other racism that posits European settlers are “more indigenous” than Arabic-speaking Palestinians).

    This is once again, a projection onto China what the Whites have been doing all over the world.




  • The market of ideas is not the battleground of Imperialism. The US struggle against the PRC over Bytedance is the US Bourg trying to enforce the International Rule that large corporations outside of the US are not allowed to exist outside of the public exchange. Americans need to be able to buy it up, whenever they want. This is also how the US exerts national domination over the Bourgeoisie of other nations. They can only invest in certain things on the continent, like real estate (which there are talks of banning Chinese nationals from owning land), and tech companies (inclusive of entertainment infrastructure), to keep the bubbles in both growing. They store their wealth in the US, under restrictions, so the US can remain liquid and clip coupons.

    This is similarly why some European big whigs are calling for liberalization of pensions so they can be spent on militarism, which as we know from books like Palo Alto, the STEM sector in the Imperialist nations and militarism are two sides of the same process. Imperialism is Scientific Capitalism. 401k funds are also workers giving their wages straight to International Capitalism without going through the government.


  • Sure, but this is an excuse and a diversion. So are the anti-Comm and Sinophobic excuses. The reason why TikTok is facing an attempted force buyout is because the US-led Bourgeoisie wants to bring Bytedance into the stock market for the biggest IPO in history.

    Something that the CPC blocked from happening in 2021:

    US based firms like Blackrock have huge stakes in private Bytedance, they want to force an IPO so they can make dozens of billions at least. The American employees who own significant private stock also stand to benefit from a force takeover of Bytedance. The Tech Industrialists in California are in a win-win if the state is to be weaponized as well, TikTok goes public and they buy pieces of it up or TikTok is banned and their software cartel holds firm.

    Remember which banks collapsed last year? The ones that deal with startup-to-IPO schemes? TikTok is the dream company for the IPO industry that is US Tech and California banking.








  • Existing indigenous nations govern the land. Even the neo-Colonial IRA governments are at the forefront of fighting climate change, habitat destruction, and mass extinctions (almost all biodiversity is on indigenous managed land). There are Communists in these nations trying to build them into radical socialist projects. Some nations are very radical.

    The settlers will be governed by a joint dictatorship of the oppressed nations, but will have political rights within revolutionary institutions for women, LGBTQ2S+, youth, workers, etc. Much the same as how the CPC rules China, the dictatorship will be selective in who it elevates into the state machine but will stay in touch with the masses through mass organizations like those listed above.

    I’m updating to this one now, but honestly no it’s not worth it. I’m on P6P and weird stuff like my call notification just not showing up and random gesture nav freezes has turned me off of participating in future betas. Missing phone calls because I can’t see them has been problematic in multiple events these last few months. I’m going to reset my phone come the official update.



  • The situation in Niger has been brewing for years. The French military has been bombing civilians in their “anti-terror” operation. Nigeriens are waving Russian flags because the Russians are actually good at fighting the insurgents and protecting civilians at the same time. In fact, France’s actions have been making the situation in the Sahel WORSE!

    I doubt the USA has much to do with this coup. The reality is that Neocolonial armies are ripe with contradictions, and one of the outbursts of that is a military mutiny in defense of the exploited masses, as we have seen with Burkina Faso, Libya, Cuba, and Venezuela.
