Hey, I requested to join the DDR! Ostalgie group a few months ago but was never accepted.

"Ethiopia, the TPLF, and the Roots of
the 2001 Political Tremor"

What's the name of it?

Well considering that Meles Zenawi, its founder, subsequently became a right-winger, my view isn't all that positive.

Nor was it a party; it was basically a secretive grouping of the TPLF leadership, its "core" so to speak. It didn't operate like a vanguard party.

I find archeology fascinating, plus I love anything that counters religious claims, especially Zionist claims.

Thanks for the add comrade.

The Mozambican liberation struggle was truly inspirational - and Samora Machel is an amazing individual. He learned all the languages in Mozambique, set up parallel governments to the portuguese colonial rule which included co-operative farming which essentially functioned as socialist communes. But of course right after his death - almost everyone in Mozambique believes it was an orchestrated assassination led by Chissano and Geubuza in order to end the civil war and change the economic set up - FRELIMO turned neoliberal and into a pawn of the World Bank. There is a great article about the party conference they had after his death that I'll try and find for you, essentially it was the death of Mozambican socialism
