Well, there are revolutionaries processes ongoing on india and philippines, im not up to date on how they are progressing. in the rest of the third world maxism is slowly rebuilding, my guess the next one will be in africa continent, since there is still an anti colonial struggle.
The Philippines are a US colony and their colonization is only increasing.
Contradictions intensifying, then.
Like Cuba once was.
I think Cuba didn't have as many American bases on it or a population that was quite as culturally Americanized. But point taken. You never know what can happen.
India is quite unlikely. The naxalite movement has been on the decline for a while now and a variant of ethno-fascism promoted by the ruling party has been growing rampantly for a decade now.
If a northeastern state seceeded, would it likely be a communist state?
Unlikely. Assuming they managed to secede in the first place (also unlikely), most of the rebel groups are christian tribal militias. I support their cause, but they won't be communist states except maybe in name.
the attack on the naxalites is something that both the current bjp and the past governments have in common. actually some might say that naxalism and marxism-leninism has seen a new found popularity among the youth of this country as of recently. this is a result of the contradictions of modern indian politics and is a good thing that there is hope for this country's future. the main issue still, lies in the utter disarray of the machinery of the naxalite parties with the biggest one, cpi maoist losing a hell lot of territory in the 2010s and doesn't show any improvement in their performance whatsoever.
that is sad to read :(
