In the words of Omar Mukhtar, the Libyan resistance leader who fought the Italian fascists in his country: "They are not our teachers."

When you've been killing gradeschoolers armed with rocks for years, anything else must seem like a super-soldier.

A lot of it is the western left's fetish for defeat, as Jones Manoel pointed out in that great article, and which Losurdo is really good at highlighting.

Another part is western chauvinism, that communist expertise must come from those in western europe or the US (who've never had any victories and so are talking out of turn), and that eastern communists / (insert whatever racialized term like hordes here) can't comprehend and apply Marxism.

Anarchists are the biggest offenders for both of those.

Another big part is the short-term mindset that's unable to see the bargain (ie the tradeoff of temporary low wage exploitation for long-term technology and expertise) , for what it really is: a long-term strategy to end colonialism, transfer control of production out of the hands of western capital, and a way out of the low-wage trap every global south nation is suffering under.

The Long Game and Its Contradictions is probably the best introduction to SWCC, and outlines what this strategy entails.

These CIA-planted stories used to have legs, but not anymore. No one except the alwaysthesamemap countries believes them.

AMLO holds nothing back lol. Calls the NYTimes a tabloid and a filthy rag multiple times.

Hell yeah, now instead of just Russian bots caring about racial equality and ending genocide, Chinese bots are on our side now too.

Good video of Abbie Martin interviewing random Israelis off the street. One of the people she met was a fkn middle-schooler in a "Don't marry arabs, gotta to keep the bloodlines pure" youth group.

Israel has some of the worst miscegenation laws in the world, as bad as the US did in the 1960s.

Podoliak isn’t the first high-ranking Ukrainian official to make derogatory remarks about Asian countries. In August, Aleksey Danilov, the head of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, suggested that Asian people were less humane compared to Europeans, including Ukrainians. “I’m fine with Asians, but Russians are Asians. They have a completely different culture, vision. Our key difference from them is humanity,” Danilov said. (RT)
