PSUV (Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela - United Socialist Party of Venezuela) not PSOE (Partido Socialista Obrero Español - Socialist Spanish Worker's Party)
All gringos are bastards
ahem What exports?
I could be wrong but I think China would prefer the rest of the world starts pulling their own weight and liberate themselves without external pressure instead of China coming in as a savior, even if it means additional suffering.
I read a saying that went "if an egg breaks from within, it becomes life. If it breaks from the outside it becomes food".
Nah man, at least in latinoamerica all uprisings you see are spontaneous and unorganized.
All communist parties in the region are insignificant, and I say that while being part of the communist party of Colombia. Only exceptions are maybe the communist and socialist parties in the leftist countries like Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua.
We are still a looooong way from something that starts to resemble a more organized popular movement.
That is not to say that hope is lost. I think the potential for true revolutionary work is growing every single day. But the amount of work to do is still huge.
You are absolutely right. There is no mass uprising today that has real organization or leadership from a revolutionary party and so all of them will be sure to fail.
Still, it's no cause for despair, but to rally and start creating better organized party structures that will be able to lead the masses in the next moments of social upheaval.
Cars should be banned cause public transportation should be the norm
~~He hasn't proposed that (yet)~~ but two things are very interesting:
- He is implicitly lumping China with the rest of the global north powers and in so doing, criticizing them for their inaction in the climate crisis and also not having a larger role in financing green projects in the global south.
- He dogwhistles communism so much, its so great lol.
WAIT 3. He just said Stalin's revolution should've gone global? WHAT
- There it is, armed intervention. I fucking love him so much.
Apparently the Armenians have fully cucked and accepted the Zangezur corridor, which will be named "Trump corridor 🤮". This is a sextuple whammy against BRICS in which:
- Iran is now locked from Russia by land from Armenia.
- The Caspian sea can now house NATO assests
- Turkey now has a link to mainland Azerbaiyan, increasing its influence in the region dramatically.
- Azerbaiyan can now sign the Abraham accords, and it's likely to sign into NATO.
- China can get locked out of the BRI through the corridor.
- The CSTO has been highly neutered.
Bad news all around, on that front.
Katie Halper interviews John Mearshimer on "Israel"
I think the most important takeaway I see is the reminder of how from 1933 to 1941, the Nazis were basically roaming free in Europe. They had managed to annex Austria and Czechoslovakia, destroy Poland and Luxemburg, set up puppet regimes in France, Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands, and start the labor camps.
It was only until they made the fatal mistake of invading the Soviet Union, that they ended up stopped and Hitler offed himself, after 27 million Soviet deaths, of course.
It's a grim reminder that we are in it for the long haul. We are talking of 8 years of almost complete Nazi hegemony in the region and passiveness from the Western powers, as well as the strategic retreat of the USSR.
It's also a reminder that expansionist fascist powers will never be satisfied. The Zionists might very well end up annexing Gaza and the West Bank, it will not satiate them. They will go for Lebanon and Syria next. When they are done, Jordan and Egypt are on the chopping block. Then Saudi Arabia. They might build the NaZionist empire from the Nile to the Euphrates and still might be hungry for more.
But it's also a reminder that they WILL be stopped. All imperial expansionist projects eventually die. Greece, Rome, Spain, France, England, they all had imperial might, and later died. The US is in its death rattle. The idology of the cancer cell will kill its host eventually.
It's painful to live in a time where we see in plain sight how colonization works. Especially from the colonized south. But it's important to remember that history is written in years, if not decades. And we need to have a political project that thinks in that time frame, instead of the now and immediate.
Death to Israel, Death to America.
Finally can create an account to say:
FFS people Colombia didn't agree or surrender to Trump's terms on deportation. Petro wanted deportees to be treated humanly and not be chained like animals.
He got it. And didn't get any sanctions.
How is this a loss for Petro or Colombia? Or a win for Trump?
