See my comment below. Their members need to ask their higher ups those questions.

Their members support rojava against the syrian government, and ukraine against russia. There was even an "anarcho-communist" group that tried to recruit for ukraine a few years ago, that many people got banned from their subreddit for criticizing. Also, they're very anti-china on "anti-authoritarian" grounds.

I'm not sure if these are official positions, but if all your group is doing is building opposition to all the US's main enemies, and convincing your members to adopt pro-US foreign policy positions, then you're nothing but a settler gang.

anti-imperialism and anti-US foreign policy should be item #1 on any US-based gun org. Otherwise, it's settlerism.

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.

The US and the UK have launched an attack on Yemen, striking the cities of Sanaa and Hodeidah, Houthi spokesman Abdulsalam Jahaf said early on Friday.

Washington and London have not made any official announcements as of yet. However, multiple British and American outlets reported that an attack was “imminent” on Thursday evening, citing anonymous sources inside the White House and 10 Downing Street.

“Now America, Britain, and Israel are launching raids on Hodeidah, Sanaa, Dhamar, and Saada,” Jahaf said on X (formerly Twitter). “We will discipline them, God willing.”

There were at least three explosions in Sanaa, Reuters reported citing local witnesses.

Officially known as Ansar Allah (‘Supporters of God’), the Houthis declared solidarity with Gaza in late October, reacting to Israel’s offensive against the Palestinian enclave. They have since carried out over 20 attacks on various shipping vessels in the Red Sea, a major trade route connecting Europe and Asia via the Suez Canal. Major shipping companies have responded by rerouting their ships around Africa, driving up prices and insurance costs.

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)
