I’m confused at why these future hypothetical communists would have any popular support after the public just witnessed their country being colonized under the guidance of socialism.

How can the Venezuelan left credibly claim to be nationalist and anti-imperialist after they already did an about face and became zionists?

I’m confused by this point. The PCV is still around. They’re the ones who’ve been saying that Rodriguez (and Maduro) have betrayed Chavismo. Like, they were already saying Maduro betrayed Chavismo before Maduro got kidnapped. Wouldn’t increasing signs of a Rodriguez betrayal just vindicate everything the PCV have said thus far and make them more popular?

By what standard of morality can the violence used by a slave to break his chains be considered the same as the violence of a slave master? :walter-rodney:shining:

NEW: The motion to impeach Araghchi, Iran’s foreign minister, has been registered in the parliament system.

It still has to be referred to the presidium.

This is how you properly deal with evangelicalism:

🇨🇳 Polícia chinesa prende dois líderes (Yan Hong e Wu Wuqing) de uma seita evangélica protestante que estava operando ilegalmente no país, realizando lavagem cerebral com base em preceitos religiosos para manipular cidadãos chineses e extorqui-los com cobrança de dízimo.

🇨🇳 Chinese police arrest two leaders (Yan Hong and Wu Wuqing) of an evangelical Protestant sect that was operating illegally in the country, carrying out brainwashing based on religious precepts to manipulate Chinese citizens and extort them through tithe collection.

Ministers of the Parthian imperial bureaucracy express alarm at the savage slaughter wrought by the Gallic barbarians against the innocent and demand that the Gallic chieftain regain control of his barbarous horde lest he invites the wrath of a punitive Parthian expedition to pacify the desolate Gaulish wastes.

The thumbnail of the thread made me want to play Minecraft Luanti the game formerly known as Minetest.

Yeah, San Francisco is the actual meaningless target if anything. Bombing San Diego is basically just bombing multiple military bases, which is what Iran would actually do if they had the capacity to do so.

Hell, even Trump saying that Iran would bomb Los Angeles makes some sense since a lot of shipping and freight forwarding stuff goes through LA and that’s where all the Iranian gusanos live.

The ISU Office for Research has directed ISU Assistant Professor Emanuele Zappala not to include his name as a co-author on this paper.

Your cooperation in allowing Emanuele Zappala to remove his name from the publication is greatly appreciated.

Another Yemeni innovation.

In every example of a coup we have seen, it is pretty much immediately known and acknowledged by the people who are on the ground that it has happened. We are bringing the year to a close and chavistas are still united as the governing force of their socialist experiment.

The trajectories of Bolivia and Venezuela are completely different even though they have so much in common with one another (former Spanish colonies in South America that were part of the Pink Tide). When we say that Arce is a traitor who has betrayed the Bolivian masses, we can point to his ultimately successful attempt at purging Morales and Morales loyalists from MAS, his jailing of union leaders who have dutifully served the Bolivian masses, that bizarre fake coup which points to collaboration between his petty bourgeois faction of MAS and the more reactionary elements of the Bolivian state apparatus, and the curious lack of concern for the various attempts against Morales’s life. When Arce completely purged MAS of Morales loyalists, the campesinos simply abandoned MAS to the point where their presidential candidate ate shit and the party completely vanished from Bolivian electoral politics. This is how a politicized mass of people responds to betrayal.

Interesting to note that the White House uses the correct “CPC” acronym for the Communist Party of China instead of “CCP”, largely seen as derogatory.
