He wrote this about himself:

Jovan Mandić, General secretary of the Montenegrin branch of the League of Communist Youth of Yugoslavia (SKOJ), founder of the Civic movement for Solidarity with Palestine (Montenegro)

Achievements so far include organizing mass protests in support of Palestine in Montenegro along with few of my comrades, the rallies were attended by a significant amount of Montenegrin population (going from 5% to 70% of the population of the cities attending). This has resulted into forcing Montenegro to vote in favor of Palestine in the UN as well as putting forward a resolution in the Montenegrin parliament that condemns Israel and ceases cooperation with it alongside other stuff (hasn't yet been voted in). The movement also does frequent cultural stuff like making murals, cultural events etc. We also worked closely with BDS to stop weapon shipments to Israel for which i have been persecuted by the state.

Alongside this i am the founder of the Montenegrin branch of SKOJ (League of Communist Youth of Yugoslavia) which has been an emerging force in the country recognized by the worldwide communist movement, closely working with it as well as with other progressive forces.

Social media that i use the most is my Instagram account @_ mandicjovan _ but you can find me on Twitter as well by @comrade_manda. The official profiles of the communist league on Instagram are @skoj_official_1919 and @skoj_cg and the official Instagram page of the pro-palestinian movement is @solidarnost_palestina_cg

TLDR: This guy went from shitposting on Instagram to praxis lol.

Is there any coordinated media/propaganda effort against you?

Also to someone in the Western Hemisphere, the title "Comrade Manda" evokes this:

How did you go from shitposting on Instagram to being the General Secretary of a communist org?

He says:

Well I've met some people through my shitposting page that were already in a communist org

Not a question, but he looks like young Stalin in that picture a lot of people thirst over.

meow-fiesta is there particular reason for using yugoslavian name? (nostalgia or general popularity etc?)

He says:

Well the party that our organization is the youth of, The New Communist Party of Yugoslavia was founded in 1990 (while SFRY still existed and League of Communists of Yugoslavia) was still in power, we decided to keep the name because we strive for a united Yugoslavia and have branches in different Yugoslav countries

How does a leader like that unwind? I guess I could just ask the people in my local orgs, but it never popped in my head till now. I'm always burnt out and I just do grunt-work.

If you are a marxist-leninist find a local org that's part of the IWCP or WFDY
