Breht, I was wondering your thoughts on Jose Maria Sison arguing in favor of AES (except for China) in some interviews? Do you think that "to be a Maoist" requires rejecting "AES" as capitalist, perhaps at least viewing them as revisionist, or is it even as open as Joma seems to imply with his position? Obviously Maoism is still a young tendency and there are line debates among Maoists all the time (PPW for instance), but I know many who would probably openly adopt Maoism if they would be welcomed by the community despite this one gray area for them.

This is very cool! Just curious, is this intentionally not also present on the patron's feed? For some reason I thought all main feed episodes appeared on the patron's feed as well.
