Topic

Politics & activism — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 16 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 99% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and the other topics.

23 measurements spanning 94 days, net +92. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 1,770–1,891 and does not start at zero.

Engagement

20 posts held, back to 8 July 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.

Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 31 July 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Reaction mix

234 reactions across 20 posts, in 15 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 41.9% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.

Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.

Coverage. Reactions were read on 20 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 234 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.

Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 8 July 2026 to 31 July 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

The history of Chinese Trotskyism The history of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is intimately bound up with the Stalinist degeneration of the Communist International. In this article, Kenny Wallace explores the little-known struggle of the forces of Trotskyism in China, who heroically fought to defend the ideas and methods of genuine Marxism against all odds.

United States: while DSA scores primary victories, more Americans than ever are turning to Communism “There is now a resurgence of the communist menace in our land,” Trump declared at the foot of Mount Rushmore on the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. “You can be loyal to Karl Marx, or you can be loyal to America. You can be a communist, or you can be a patriot. You cannot be both.”

Why was the Rojava Revolution defeated? – exclusive interview with Fred Weston For many years, the Rojava Revolution was hailed as a model for revolutionaries to follow. Today, it has been betrayed. To learn the lessons from the heroic movement and its tragic defeat, we sat down for an interview with Fred Weston, author of ‘Rojava: why was the revolution defeated’ from the brand new issue of the In Defence of Marxism…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @marxistcom. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
