"One lesson from Texas history is that repression was so severe because resistance was so daunting-a lesson to keep in mind as this century unfolds"
The only segment of the US working class that is difficult to describe as a labor aristocracy (in NAFTA states) is being shredded to pieces.
This segment of the working class should be the focus of organization in the core. The rest should only be organized secondarily, as their interests align with Imperialism too much.
Yes that org. Their only success is Sawant's councilship in Seattle. Just another petty bourg "socialist" org.
Sure, but this is an excuse and a diversion. So are the anti-Comm and Sinophobic excuses. The reason why TikTok is facing an attempted force buyout is because the US-led Bourgeoisie wants to bring Bytedance into the stock market for the biggest IPO in history.
Something that the CPC blocked from happening in 2021:
US based firms like Blackrock have huge stakes in private Bytedance, they want to force an IPO so they can make dozens of billions at least. The American employees who own significant private stock also stand to benefit from a force takeover of Bytedance. The Tech Industrialists in California are in a win-win if the state is to be weaponized as well, TikTok goes public and they buy pieces of it up or TikTok is banned and their software cartel holds firm.
Remember which banks collapsed last year? The ones that deal with startup-to-IPO schemes? TikTok is the dream company for the IPO industry that is US Tech and California banking.
Nex used he/they pronouns according to his friends btw. JSYK when talking about this tragedy moving forward.
Not even just the runoff but Dickie Wilson leaving a trail of 200 unsolved murders in 3 years to get the uranium rights sold off
CLN member, biased perspective:
S brought PFs behavior towards them (S) to the IACI internal, the behavior didn't stop as PF made another post rehashing an old argument with S about nuclear power^1^. S again confronted the org about this and demanded an apology from PF on behalf of the partner orgs/communities who saw PFs problematic nuclear take and reached out to S about it. S felt the org was more interested in keeping this a "personal issue" between S and PF rather than poor behavior towards comrades and insensitive public messaging to "get back" at someone and left IACI. S called out certain IACI members in the CLN internal, then in public, for not providing a safe space in the IACI, and not holding members accountable for pro-colonial takes in a formally anti-Colonial educational org, and actually said they'd "wreck anyone who's pro-colonial" as in literally fight individuals, not in the organizational sense. Certain IACI members ran with that as intent to destroy the org alongside claims of "hacking" individuals' Instagram accounts, the evidence, from my personal and biased position, extremely flimsy.
The "dispute" goes beyond that but at that point it's not relevant beyond personal insults. There was no breaking of centralism, IACI is less than 10 people and horizontal. By the time S had gone public they had left the org.
1: Which is a sensitive subject as CLN has a land base in Lakota territory and that land is contaminated by uranium runoff that a dictator assinated 200 people so he could sell the mining rights to a multi-national firm, his GOON squad worked with the feds to destroy the AIM. We also have partners in the Diné, Hawaiian, and Black Australian communities affected by Colonialism that fuels nuclear power.
No, but war does force Capital to engage in planning and economic mobilization. There has also been a vacuum in the market left by western firms and fleeing Russian bougies. This war has not been good in the short nor long term for the Ukrainian economy.
MAS just purged 20 some members including the cabinet. Arce skipped the party congress and was expelled for it. The party says these people have betrayed MAS principles.
