He unironically will make more people second guess all the bs they learned growing up hahaha

I just saw that Israeli nurse Nili Margalit making certain claims that I just can't bring myself to believe after everything i.e that Hamas forced another to blame Netanyahu for the war and that it was actually armed Gazan civilians who kidnapped her and later sold her to Hamas.

I don't think I need to tell anybody here why I think "the civilians we're killing are in cahoots with the rebels" feeds into Israel's "there is no innocent bystanders" narrative, and secondly I have a problem with her Netanyahu claim because she went on CNN and stated publicly "he could bring home the hostages but I don't know why he isn't" so she claims that people were forced to say exactly what she herself thinks? Not to mention the other citizens of Israel who have also said this! Now, she could be talking about the war but that's moot because you can absolutely blame him and other Israeli PMs in the past for October 7th and the current genocide and the "I don't know why he isn't" part is absolutely BS he and his cronies in the IDF have stated multiple times there intentions with Gaza and its civilians, so why not mention or take that into account? Because (I believe) she's biased. It's typical Israeli settler racism and I can't help but think this is being used again in an attempt to manufacture consent for more killing of civilians in Gaza in the future.

Cold War 2: US officials call to overthrow China’s gov’t, expand military budget to $1.4 trillion: https://youtu.be/Q3RMl33SqNE?feature=shared

The United States and other capitalist empires, using their proxy government in Rwanda and an allied armed group, have carried out a massive escalation in the war in eastern Congo. There is widespread death and displacement following the capture of a key city, Goma, and fears are growing that the fighting will spread to new parts of the country.

The goal of western governments and their allies is to facilitate the plunder of Congo’s natural resources and the corporate profits that go with it.

So I have been looking around as to what is the reason the US can be getting ready to start a genocide on Mestizo and Indio immigrants. its not economical at all... Anyways I think the white population is shitting its pants because they dropping around 1%-2% of the population every year. Now are there any historical examples (in modern history) of what nations have done when the so called "original population" (i know whites are not the original ones here I just dont know what other words to use) start to experiance the pressure of possibly becoming a minority? kinda what to see what horrors are ahead of us.

"Leftist" "Anti-Capitalist" "Progressive"

Am I the only one who is getting just absolutely exhausted with all these vague, meaningless umbrella terms? 90% of the time, the people using them just turn out to be social democrats or like, quasi-anarchists. The full blooded anarchists at least usually have the dignity and self-respect to openly identify as such.

"The Left" doesn't exist. There isn't some unified block of people out there working towards a common "Leftist" goal. There are Social Democrats, there are Anarchists, there are Marxists, and there is whoever else. They are all very seperate groups of people working towards very seperate ends. It's not like how Liberals and Fascists routinely collaborate on projects. That doesn't happen here, and it shouldn't!

What does "Anti-Capitalist" even fucking mean? Seriously. Have you ever heard a more nothing descriptor in your life? Congratulations, you don't like capitalism! Who does, really? What do you support? What do you want to come next? Is that not the actually important part of all this?

And literally anybody can be "Progressive." All you have to do is be chill with gay people and know how to bandy about phrases like "listening and learning" and "lived experiences" and "uplifting (x) voices." Maybe every now and then acknowledge that poor people exist before going back to your multi-ethnic drag brunch.

If you are one of the admitedly very few I think Marxist who still use terms like these, I really think you should stop. Marxism is a concrete world view, and if you adhere to it, that should be the way you identify yourself and those you call comrades. To Hell with all this empty bullshit.

I saw in the news that he just made the new taxes for Canada official, is this really about the annexation of Canada? Will he start taxing them until they accept being annexed? It doesn't seem real to me, it seems absolute madness. It seems to be just free unprovoked agression. Dude... we are facing hard times ahead.

idk why but im kinda foaming at the mouth about this trade war. and most importantly I hope the Mexican and Canadian and Chinese responses are absolutly diabolical. Like dont hold back we deserve this. But also I pray Cuba liberates Guatanamao before they have the chance to build that 30k person death camp. Please God Please

By the countries in the title I mean, former East Germany, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, former Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Romania, former Yugoslavia, etc.

Might be too generic of a question, but generally, are there still socialist/communist movements or at least a sort of impetus away from capitalism in your countries? Is there a way to capitalize on the situation? What could be done? I know Russia has a big communist party, but they seem revisionist and they are losing popularity. Czechia had a kind of big one as well until recently. Moldova too.

I am really interested because, except in former Yugoslavia and Soviet Union (with the exception maybe of the Baltic countries), communism and socialism seemed to have been sort of "forced" upon a population that was still reactionary in many respects or at least viewed socialism as being imposed by an external enemy like the Soviet Union itelf. Therefore, socialism did not have solid enough foundations. Even the political class in some countries seemed to lack the experience that revolutionaries in the Soviet Union. Because of the genuinely bad situations in some countries, when socialism collapsed, a lot of people just became right-wingers. Why is that?

Also I am also kind of a noobie, don't judge me too harshly or insult me, I don't know the various histories of the countries in question and I am sure there were many positive aspects to the socialist past. But why is it that they didn't stick in the minds of people then?
