Any leader that is for the freedom of Palestine is in the crosshairs of the zionists❗️It’s one down with Venezuela's Maduro❗️ Satanyahu would love to have the others too taken down dead or alive❗️These leaders are friends of humanity and should be protected by all means❣️
I celebrate the expulsions of French imperialism from Burkina Faso and other countries in West Africa.
However, Traoré and his regime offer nothing to working people in Burkina Faso, much less any revolutionary political example, unlike the shining leadership of Thomas Sankara, which Traoré is cynically trying to appropriate (at least in photos).
Traoré’s empty nationalist rhetoric is merely to give cover to one more capitalist regime seeking to pacify rather than mobilize working people to organize and fight in their own interests, as Thomas Sankara sought to do.
Naturally as the head of a military dictatorship that has banned all political parties (over 100 parties) and suspended elections indefinitely, Traoré has openly expressed disdain for “democracy” in any form.
“People need to forget about the issue of democracy,” he said. “We have to tell the truth: democracy isn’t for us.”
“Democracy kills”, Traore said.
True revolutionaries like Thomas Sankara reject fake bourgeois “democracy,” which is in fact dictatorship by a minority of capitalists.
However, revolutionaries champion true democracy for working people. A revolution is a flowering of democracy of and for workers and farmers.
There is absolutely nothing “progressive” about the Traoré regime, much less “anti-imperialist.” Empty rhetoric is no substitute for the social and economic reorganization based on working people overthrowing capitalist property that is the only way to remove a country from imperialist exploitation and oppression.
It's important to look at what the Traoré regime has actually said and done, and most importantly what it has not said or done. I wish it was like Sankara but it's not, either in word or deed.
The reactionary “Personal and Family Code (Code des Personnes et de la Famille - CPF)” was passed by the Transitional Legislative Assembly on September 1, 2025. Traoré signed it into law on September 25, 2025, as Law No. 012-2025/ALT.
That misogynistic and backwards code stands diametrically opposed to the revolutionary perspective advanced by Sankara for the dignity and emancipation of women, and the transformation of Burkinabè society.
“The Revolution Cannot Triumph without the Emancipation of Women”
That speech by Sankara offers a truly revolutionary perspective.
The capitalist Traoré regime has not carried out an agrarian reform, nor advanced conditions for workers. There is no mass organization of workers or poor farmers. No explosion of union organizing — all the basic expressions of any genuine popular revolution.
Traoré’s “Agricultural Offensive” (2023–) largely benefits the wealthier and medium capitalist landowners with loans and equipment, not the small poor peasants, let alone the landless agricultural workers. It remains firmly within a capitalist framework, and whatever minor changes will inevitably be undone by the workings of capitalism.
The history of semicolonial nations is full of capitalist regimes spewing nationalist fake radical or ‘progressive’ rhetoric, from Perón, Nasser, Kwame Nkrumah, or Maduro. They change nothing for working people. Worse still, they tie the hands of the exploited and oppressed.

Anyone interested in the genuine political legacy of Thomas Sankara — a true revolutionary — should read his incredible speeches. Many are contained in the following book:
I suggest reading Thomas Sankara's speeches, a number of which are available on line, such as his, “Discours d’Orientation politique,” (Political Orientation Speech) on October 2, 1983, to the Burkinabé people.
