The Real Reason The Imperial West Hates Russia | Joti Brar
The Real Reason The Imperial West Hates Russia | Joti Brar
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/32470699
Today I’m talking to Joti Brar, one of the leaders of the Communist Party of Great Britain, the editor of the party’s publication, and the Spokesperson for the World Anti-Imerialist Platform.
Joti Brar of CPGB-ML is the daughter of the late Harpal Brar.
“Neutrality Studies” is some Swiss nonsense, but at least they’ll listen to communists and anti-imperialists.
FYI I reported this post:
Rule 5: No right-deviationists. CPGB-ML is "socially conservative" and Joti herself is a Caleb Maupin collaborator (she went on his show to spew transphobic hatred).
(Edit) CPGB-ML expels members for "propagation of LGBT ideology":

Examples of their reactionary rherotic:

They also voiced their opinion on JK Rowling:

And here's them openly promoting US patsocs:

And lastly here's the YT video I referenced in the report: youtu.be/5v7bWFFLzUY?t=1666
Last time I looked into CPGB-ML was like 5 years ago, but I can see since then Caleb released plenty of interviews with both Joti and Harpal Brar (CPGB-ML chairman) so the collaboration is very official and not a singular lapse of judgement on Joti's part as some people tried arguing back then.
Everything you wrote about Joti Brar and CPGB-ML is true and it is important that people are aware of this, but i don't see how that is grounds for reporting this post.
I don't think the intention of the poster was promoting either the CPGB-ML nor Joti Brar. I haven't watched the video yet but from the title it doesn't seem like it's promoting those reactionary views which you mentioned but rather providing a geopolitical perspective on the Ukraine proxy war and the West's larger obsession with Russia.
In that sense I think it is acceptable so long as the poster adds a content warning that the speaker being platformed has reactionary views on LGBT issues. People share articles and videos from much more reactionary sources than the CPGB-ML. Or do you think that every military or geopolitical analysis that has ever been shared here has always been strictly by pro-LGBT communists?
No. You could as well promote any US patsoc when they stick to the “right topic”. Or any fascist for that matter, they always appropriate some correct leftists stances. Communist spaces shouldn’t platform them even when they parrot the correct line.
