but this party was literally just cheering on India’s attempt to start a war with Pakistan
No it wasn’t
there’s an actual communist insurgency in India going on right now and they desperately need international attention.
My heart goes out to them but anyone who goes and tries to pay attenttion to them (ie read Nightmarch by Alpa Sha or follow news about them) will just realize how utterly fucked their situation is and that maoists are really just larping and offsetting their responsibility to reach political power where they live onto poor people when they hype them up too much. So not worth pretending that they’ve achieved more than the Keralans or that insurgency is actually their preferred strategy rather than what they’ve been forced to do.
