Lady, EVOLVED 
today is a “listening to <https://bluescholars.bandcamp.com/album/bayani-redux>” kind of day
not sure the marxists still have annotations up on Genius in 2024
this line used to be annotated “Geo believes in a dictatorship of the proletariat”
i thought it was pretty obvious but………
“perhaps the sacred ground desecrators are intolerant conservative white people” IT’S THE ENTIRE FUCKING SETTLER UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, NERD
no they don’t know what “petty bourgeois” means either
i promise in 2016 these genius pages were like a 101 class in marxism‐leninism‐maoism lmao
THIS IS THE NAME OF A NOTABLE DOCUMENTARY COVERING THE EVENTS BEING DESCRIBED
speaking of, The Long March EP is really good but an even higher bar of being committed to Maoism to get what the heck they’re talking about
could be, but i think we all have a different understanding of “lock down the campus” now
@Lady i feel like it's the former, based on the structure of the line: lock down the campus cause it's right to rebel; the attempts to suppress campus activism doesn't directly relate to that slogan. but if "lock down the campus" is a call to action for the students, then it is directly derived from it being right to rebel, and it well mirrors the slogan's use during the cultural revolution
@alyssa i agree with your interpretation, but i think it varies depending on how you read “right” (as in “correct”, or as in “an inalienable privilege”)
“revolutionaries, lock down the campus because it is correct to rebel” is the most straightforward (and probably true) reading
but “they are trying to lock down the campuses because we are asserting our innate right to rebellion” is another reading, which is how this commentor takes it, and i’ve also been confused by in the past
@Lady hm, fair
@alyssa i understand the confusion; it’s always been unclear to me whether Geo is saying revolutionaries should lock down (occupy) the campus, or whether he is referencing conservative attempts to lock down (restrict/control) campuses to pre·empt revolutionaries—both of which we have seen historically and recently, usually at the same time
