why do american leftists like to underestimate the close resistance ties to jihad and many imperialized arab people. Why do they disregard all those movements completely ignoring the fact that significant portion of the middle east upholds them as the means to their struggle towards independence and national freedom. Arent they technically at the forefront for attacking the main contradiction that is a step towards communism by overthrowing imperialism? Am I looking at this in a completely wrong manner and is there any feedback that can update the way I view this as of now?

Any maoist works or critiques on the USSR's involvement in Afghanistan so that I can get a clearer picture?

For me I started becoming more denouncing of china when I heard the proletarian voices of the Filipinos and Congolese. Every on the ground revolution in the third world active today seems to denounce china. Do they just really miss the USSR and wish there was more revolutionary potential in the world as back then?

Do think it is a genuine strategy, and even will go as far as saying that if there was a PPW in america with the amount of vast rural land we have and how bad our military is in places like vietnam, would crumble, but a point many i feel miss is we have no peasentry, how could the concept of creating base camps for peasent villages and other places in the sticks work when we don't have a peasentry like semi colonial semi fuedal countries? Genuinely think the lumpem has the most revolutionary and is going to be the revolutionary class that moves first world countries into communism if that ever happens, but they usually are located in the cities. I am just getting into maoism btw and have a lot more to read, but any material would be highly appreciated. Have not been in this community that much but much love to all my maoist comrades.
