    As we mark the 50th anniversary of the horrific coup in Chile, we must make clear that we regret our involvement and commit to supporting Chilean democracy

    Apologize for the coup in Pakistan last week or fuck off

      This is really it for me. They trot out their acknowledgements and apologies decades later when it hardly matters anymore, with zero restoration.

        We all acknowledge what the CIA did exactly 25 years ago was bad.

        But thank god the force of freedom and democracy put a stop to that 25 years ago.

        Modern activities are classified for 25 years but you can trust us we stopped doing that stuff 25 years ago.

      An apology doesn’t do anyone any fucking good anyway. I suppose it’s better than not apologizing, but it’s making an empty gesture even emptier when you know it won’t pass.

    Reminder that AOC suported Juan Guaidó and backed American intervention in Venezuela so hard that she was praised by Fox News for it.

      Wtf. I have no illusions about AOC being good, but I guess I at least thought she was better than this. Would seem like an unforced error for any actual leftist, as I can’t think of any compelling political reason to support the coup. It’s not like Venezuelan compradors have their own AIPAC.

        What I meant that the USA should not try to intervene in any other country let alone a third world country under the pretext of “democracy” or some other bullshit like that. They have done enough damage to Chile along and unless they wanna pay reparations they should stay away from them.

    lenin-sure : “After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it.”

    Will they even mention the word socialism? Every time liberals mention ‘democratically elected’ leaders in Latin America who get despised, they tend to leave out their ideology. I’m not gonna read it cause I’m tired of these two.

    absolutely love how the MOST that the “left” in amerikka can do is TRY to declassify documents from a tragedy that happened 50 years ago, killed thousands and can be laid at the feet of amerikka by like 99% certainty

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
