any criticism you have of these countries' internal contradictions is .001 percent of their alternative: wEstErN ciViLiZaTiOn

one thing I can tell you about china or cuba or venezuela is that they aren't run by unaccountable psychopathic pedophiles who enjoy raping and torturing children

NEW EP @granadosceja.bsky.social and andreína chávez join us to discuss the aftermath of the abduction of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, the state of Venezuelan sovereignty, oil, resistance, and more

anyone else excited to start another work week where 40-60 hours of your one precious life are sacrificed to a class of pedophile warmongers so that they can own a rape and torture island

there's a reason why the "entryway" to the left in the united states is anarchism and not marxism—it was specifically designed this way by the capitalist class so that your anti-capitalism would be validated but no real world solution would be provided

ask yourself why you as a 14-year-old were exposed to noam chomsky and not michael parenti

my first impression was that chomsky wasn't directly collaborating with the institutions of capital and that he was unknowingly embraced by the deep state because his anti-communism was convenient in the intellectual world war. but then I saw this and realized no, this man is a psychological warior

they released less than half of the epstein files redacting almost everything except the names of underage victims and the only people they're prosecuting are the legal observers and journalists covering the crimes of their street thugs

you're absorbing the propaganda of a cabal of pedophiles who rape and torture children for fun. you're letting them and their media lapdogs tell you exactly how to think and who to hate

NEXT WEEK'S PATREON
venezuela pt. 6: the empire strikes w/ @granadosceja.bsky.social and andreína chávez

the united states quite literally wants to transform these people into colonial subjects, it wants to steal their resources and put them to work for gangster capitalists. it wants to build golden domes and Trump towers on their charred bones. and it will do anything to achieve this goal

china's great firewall and the internet blackout in Iran are ways of fighting back against information and psychological warfare conducted by the CIA which is omnipresent, extremely sophisticated, and which has turned most American's brains into mush. the responsible thing to do is to restrict it

repressive and autocratic tendencies in revolutionary states are not natural—they are the direct result of being encircled, threatened, and attacked by the United States. from the bolsheviks in the soviet union to the islamic republic of Iran, the repression would end if imperialism ended

NEW EP manolo de los santos joins us in part 1 of our new series on Cuba where we discuss colonization and its resistance, the batista dictatorship, cuba as a playground for the US, and the material conditions leading up to the Cuban revolution

you can also do that but I don't think all small business employees have access to those so just however you can help!

because only like 5% of the population is unionized and there aren't any strike funds for the vast majority of workers, one thing you can do to support the general strike on Friday is to offer donations to small businesses to help cover lost income

they want cuba not because of its resources, but because the cuban revolution was one of the most important and embarrassing defeats for the empire. it was their playground, their resort. every day that cuba remains free is another day of humiliation to the worst people on the planet

what neocons in Washington want for Cuba is nothing less than colonial enslavement. before the revolution, Cuba was a playground for wealthy Americans and was controlled by a brutal dictatorship with a life expectancy in the low 60s. the revolution reversed this—and gusanos have never gotten over it

the average right winger doesn't actually believe in anything, they've just adopted the cheap contrarianism of an adolescent who thinks he's being rebellious by lapping up the slop peddled by powerful entities profiting off of his performance

instead they cling desperately to their rules based order and legal codes when in reality these don't really exist anymore in the world we live in

I get this but what all these gotchas are missing is that the right is easily able to modify their positions in the face of concrete material conditions. it would actually be very helpful if liberals could do this is well

tens of thousands of bloodthirsty white nationalists paid & armed by the government are grabbing anyone they can off the streets & executing people who try to stop them. this will be coming to your city soon. those fighting against it on the frontlines are heroes and should be treated as such

[UNLOCKED] How Fascism Works (a Michael Parenti Reading)

until people are as mad at the Democrats as they are at the Republicans nothing will change

not until people are able to transform their unions internally and kick out the complicit and cowardly leadership who are endangering us all will this be possible. not until we break free from the chains of co-option the democrats use to keep us quiet and compliant

a nationwide general strike that actually shuts down the economy and hurts the ruling class in the only place they feel anything is required, and with the AFL-CIO national leadership not even paying lip service to yesterday's (sort of) strike, that's not looking possible

yesterday hundreds of thousands of people poured out in the streets to protest ICE. in response ICE murdered another person this morning, proving that one-day protests and strikes are not enough to stop fascism

NEXT WEEK
