Obviously they should do the revolution while the LA just cheerleads and marches once in a while and goes to brunch

Not my wholesome labor aristocrats!

The pitfalls of democratic socialism and decades of hybrid warfare can erode society and restore capitalism. However I still have faith in communes and collectives since the most advanced have always been leagues ahead of the ruling govt organizationally and ideologically. Revisionism stemmed from the reformist character and apathy from sanctions and loss in faith in the project, presumably poor cadre formation and political education but I dunno. To me the principal contradiction is amerikkkan imperialism and it’s what intensifies and acts upon internal contradictions, even creating new ones, however placing too much emphasis on either is one-sided thinking, idk.

Unlike Iran, militias were subservient to the military, unlike the IRGC having politics in command. However, nobody wants a Grenada Jewel Movement civil war so the situation is complex. A few weeks or months ago some peasants were killed and not much was done.

Is there a nitter alternative or do i have to make a xitter throwaway?

Telegram is weird as hell sometimes, you’ll have Palestinian communists with a moderator that will just use the (spoiler tags will be racism)

every few sentences, or ex-yugoslav “communists” that will call compradors

Forgot to mention they’re at consular level of diplomacy and they’re hinting at further rapprochement, my bad, marg bar israel.

Government, yes. communes and popular power is currently in very, very critical support. Always has been but sometimes more and sometimes less.

They’re not at embassy level yet, not even sure if they’re at consular levels. There was a meeting with a nazi rabbi suggesting it so it seems to be inevitable.

Good point, in the context of Venezuela it really feels like a black poison that’s more of a curse than an actual productive force.

Not news ( but I came across this Aoteroan initiative where they translate farsi and arabic articles into english, mostly from al-sifr. 2 I think are interesting are

• a 3 part review of Ali Kadri’s unmaking of arab socialism
• an article about the u$ occupation of Venezuela being about the petrodollar and keeping China-Russia-Iran-etc out, not production itself. Which helps explain why afaik there hasn’t been much investment? They don’t want to develop productive forces of their colonies, lest they get idea of sovereignty.

Only country other than amerikkka to have like, 3 post earthquake visits iirc. I count this as a third one, I don’t even know why they’re doing this it’s not like u$ will bomb them for not having zio relations. Counterinsurgency in case of popular revolt?

Anyone have a link to the article? Can’t find anything.

Landback and decolonization is often discarded because a big part of the left has imperialist and settler chauvinism. I do think, reformist appeal to institutions and intl law and NGOization of praxis is a roadblock. Imperialism can appropriate many social causes when devoid of a revolutionary and class character, from colonialism, racism, queer liberation. Like, even national liberation can be used as a foil for imperialist backed separatism.

PIJ issued a statement contradicting the claim that the decision was unanimous and they have reservations. Could just be Ikhwani stuff on Hamas’s part but we’ll see.

While Hamas officials said progress had been made, Palestinian factions stressed that the agreement’s implementation must include clear guarantees and obligations from “Israel”.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) political bureau member Ali Abu Shaheen told Al Mayadeen that the movement is committed to an agreement that serves Palestinian interests and preserves the gains achieved through resistance.

However, Abu Shaheen said the movement has reservations over the current formulation of the agreement, stating that reports of an agreement between the factions and Israel are “not accurate” in its current form.

He added that “Israel” had not complied with the provisions of the first phase and questioned its move toward the second phase without fulfilling previous commitments.

“The movement confirms that every step taken by the resistance must have a corresponding commitment from the occupation in Gaza,” Abu Shaheen said.

He also raised concerns over the weapons-related clause, saying that the current text does not clearly establish obligations requiring “Israel” to fully implement the agreement.

why does the article on veneuela imply electoral fraud and call the coup attempt by the name the leaders gave it (la salida) instead of the common name of guarimbas? among other rhetorical concerns…
