I mean.. the irony of leftwing movenments in general is that they are exclusive.

Labor Parties in every country fail to elect women. UK? Canada? France? All of their women leaders are conservative.
Marxist-Leninist countries? Do you think Vietnam has Hmong leaders? Cuba is mostly black and all of their party-secretaries and council members are lighter skinned.

What are these "experts" even debating ? Did they just find some elementary school history textbook and in section about first human settlements they learned that geographic position and things related to it (natural resources, defensive terrain, climate...) are kinda important especially if you only have basic tools .

I'm sure this is now some new wave of thought to try and disprove Eurasia having a geographic advantage compared to the Africans and Amerindians.

A geographic advantage is easy to see even on a regional scale. Look at Western Europe and the centuries old Anglo-French rivalry, it was inevitable England and later Britain would be the dominant naval power not only because they would have a higher population familiar with nautical life, but because they were an island and that is one key natural defense. France on the other hand had two separate coasts to protect, meaning even when they could rival Anglos navally their resources were split between two different seas.

This is partly the same reason America ended up winning the Revolutionary War and why we weren't conquered by some other power immediately. Crossing the Atlantic seeking military conquest against technologically equal opponents is no easy task, even today (And partly why I hate autistic alt-hist WW2 books where the Nazis take over America). It just isn't logistically feasible and was something that bit America in the ass for more than a century because Congress felt that a large navy or army wasn't needed due to the geographic distance from any imperial rivals, something that continued up until America began to get really into imperial ambitions in the late 18th century.

The current General secretary of the Vietnamese communist party is a guy called Nguyễn Phú Trọng. Officially he comes from an 'average peasant background'.

The reason you know that isn't true is that he never served in the Army during the Vietnam war. Spending most of his time abroad. This was at a time when young men and women that were officially inelligible to be conscripted (sole surviving child etc) were expected to volunteer anyway. In reality he comes from communist party aristocracy.

China is the same, Xi Jinping's parents were both senior CCP officials. One of the reason Xi, is such a cunt is that during the cultural revolution Mao sent him to work on a farm.

If you think it's just an Asian thing it's not. In the UK there were these two muppets.

Their father was Ralph Miliband a Polish Jewish immigrant who became Britain leading Marxist in academia. Ken Livingstone told a story once how Ralph used to bring them both to the house of commons and spent hours introducing them to everybody they needed to know.

Eventually despite the fact that both of the fuckers lived in North London, they were given safe Labour seats in the North of England.

Neither of them were ever held in any regard by anyone outside the upper ranks of the Labour party. Labour under Ed Milibands leadership got fucking thrashed by an unpopular conservative leader, solely because people couldn't imagine him as prime minister. Currently David Miliband is doing a sterling job bussing migrants from fuckknowistan to the west.

There are other examples such as Will Straw son of former Labour minister Jack Straw and a Senior civil servant. Caught dealing drugs when he was 17 that didn't hold him back, he joined the 'Yes' campaign for AV in 2011, a camapaign mostly knowing for whinging about how the opposing side were being unfair. They lost in a landslide. He was then chosen to be leader Britain stronger in Europe during the Brexit referndum, where again he was mostly known for whinging about the opposition campaign.

Not to mention THAT photograph:

Come to think of it, UK leaders seem to have a really bad time with photo-ops compared to other "top-tier" Western countries...

That's just because Anglos are fucking ugly looking people. Maybe it is from being cooked up on a big ass island for over a thousand years, maybe it is something in the water, I dont know. They're just fucking ugly people for the most part.

This is more a generic history comment but wth. Ive been reading this book called 1000 Destroyed by Grover C Hall Jr. about the chads of the 4th fighter group who destroyed a hair over 1000 German planes (ground + a2a) and its really good. His father, Grover C Hall Sr, was a Montgomery Alabama newpaper editor who wrote against the klan in the 20s and wrote The Egregious Gentile which is a satire about how gentiles are almost never called to account(it was the 30s). But his son was really interesting in addition to being a fighter pilot in the war wrote after the church bombing that JFK was to blame for "[inflaming] the Negroes during the recent trouble by rehearsing their historic grievances. He may also have imflamed him who finally planted the dynamite at the church," in a letter to George Wallace. No real point just really interesting.
