American imperialist and Zionist forces are again bombing Iran in another criminal act of aggression.

These maniacs will destroy the entire world unless the capitalist system that enables them is torn apart by a global working class uprising!

Big investigation coming out: Indonesia 1965 - How Germany armed & financed a Genocide .

For months I have worked through more than 1,000 pages of declassified German archives on what many call the genocide against communists in Indonesia.

To prove socialism doesn't work, the US needs sanctions, blockades, coups, and bombs. To prove capitalism doesn't work, you just need to walk the streets of the US.

That is the argument. And it is not easily dismissed.

The US Cannot Tolerate a Successful Alternative

Cuba has been under US blockade for over 60 years. The US has tried to assassinate Fidel Castro over 600 times. It has invaded the Bay of Pigs. It has funded terrorists. It has cut off trade, travel, and medicine.

Why? Because Cuba has literacy rates higher than the US. Because Cuba sends doctors to the world's poorest countries. Because Cuba has a lower infant mortality rate than the US. Because Cuba survived the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of its economic lifeline, and still refused to kneel.

If socialism doesn't work, you don't need to blockade it for 60 years. You just let it collapse on its own. But Cuba didn't collapse. So the US blockades it.

Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world. The US has sanctioned its oil, frozen its assets, recognized a fake president, and tried to assassinate its real president. Why? Because Venezuela used its oil wealth to fund social programs, reduce poverty, and build a multipolar foreign policy.

If socialism doesn't work, you don't need to sanction Venezuela into starvation. You just wait. But Venezuela didn't starve on its own. So the US sanctions it.

Iran has been under sanctions for 47 years. The US has shot down its planes, bombed its nuclear facilities, killed its scientists, targeted 85% of its oil tankers, and blocked its airlines.

If Iran is a failed state, you don't need to blockade it. You just watch. But Iran didn't fail. So the US blockades it.

The pattern is clear. The US does not blockade, sanction, and bomb failed states. It blockades, sanctions, and bombs states that are trying to build an alternative. It blockades, sanctions, and bombs states that prove the alternative can work.

Walk the Streets of the US

Walk through downtown Los Angeles. Tents. Fentanyl. Human feces. Shuttered storefronts. People with jobs sleeping in their cars.

Walk through Skid Row. 8,000 people sleeping on sidewalks. Mothers with children. Veterans with PTSD. Mentally ill left to die.

Walk through Appalachia. Opioid addiction. Collapsed coal towns. Communities that have never recovered from deindustrialization. Life expectancy lower than in Bangladesh.

Walk through Detroit. Block after block of abandoned houses. Streets with no streetlights. Schools with no books. A city that went bankrupt.

Walk through the Mississippi Delta. Some of the poorest counties in America. No hospitals. No doctors. No grocery stores. Just Dollar General and diabetes.

Walk through rural Oklahoma. Towns where the only jobs are at the prison. Towns where the water is undrinkable. Towns where children have never seen a dentist.

Walk through any American city. Check the homeless count. Check the overdose count. Check the suicide count. Check the student debt count. Check the medical bankruptcy count.

This is the richest country in human history. And this is what it looks like.

You don't need a socialist propaganda film. You just need a smartphone.

The Right-Wing Media Lies About Socialism

The right-wing media says socialism is Venezuela. That it is bread lines and dictatorship and poverty.

But what did socialism actually do?

◽The Soviet Union: Went from a feudal peasant society to a space-faring superpower in 40 years.
◽China: Went from a famine-plagued impoverished nation to the world's largest economy in 70 years.
◽Cuba: Has a higher literacy rate than the US, a lower infant mortality rate than the US, and sends doctors to the world's poorest countries.
◽Vietnam: Went from a war-devastated country to one of the fastest-growing economies in Asia.
◽Bolivia: Reduced poverty by half and extreme poverty by half under Evo Morales.

What did neoliberal capitalism do?

◽Russia in the 1990s: GDP halved. Poverty skyrocketed. Life expectancy collapsed. A few oligarchs stole everything.
◽Argentina in the 1990s: Privatized everything. Economy collapsed. Millions fell into poverty.
◽Greece after 2010: Austerity. Privatization. 25% unemployment. Suicides skyrocketed.
◽ The US after 2008: The banks were bailed out. The people lost their homes. The rich got richer. The poor got poorer.

Socialism doesn't mean going backward. It means going forward. It means equality, equity, and a good system. It means healthcare for all. It means education for all. It means housing for all. It means a future for all.

The US can't let people believe that. So it bombs, blockades, and sanctions any country that tries it.

The US doesn't oppose socialism because it doesn't work. It opposes socialism because it works. Because if socialism can work, then capitalism has no excuse. Because if socialism can work, then the US has been lying to its own people for a century. Because if socialism can work, then the empire has no future.

So the US uses every tool it has sanctions, blockades, coups, bombs to make sure that no socialist country is allowed to succeed.

But the truth is that the US is failing. The streets of New York and Los Angeles and Detroit are proof. The empire is rotting from within.

And the world is watching.

That is the argument. It is not a slogan. It is a fact.

45,000 students joined strikes against military conscription across Germany.

80% of AfD voters want talks in Ukraine, yet the AfD wants militarisation & conscription restored (they voted against the law cos it doesn't go far enough!)

CDU & AfD are two sides of the same coin.

A disabled 87-year-old woman who has lived in the same Madrid flat since 1956 was violently evicted by police yesterday after an investment firm acquired the rights to her tenancy and raised the rent to 1,650 euros, 300 euros more than her monthly pension. A capitalist parable

Para demostrar que el socialismo no funciona, EEUU debe recurrir a sanciones económicas, bloqueos, secuestros, golpes de Estado y bombardeos. En cambio, para demostrar que el capitalismo no funciona, nos basta con recorrer las calles de EEUU.

"Western values"

Here we have retired US diplomat Robert Ford openly acknowledged that he and Britain’s MI6 were involved in helping rebrand former Al-Qaeda head-chopper Ahmed al-Sharaa into Syria’s new leader.

Not diplomacy.
Not accountability.

Just a full-blown image-washing operation.
Taking a jihadist past and repackaging it for Western consumption like a carefully managed PR campaign.

'The strongest case of genocide ever brought in front of the court.'

- Professor of Genocide studies Amos Goldberg explains how all experts and historians agree it's genocide, and even the leading world expert alive today, who wrote the textbook on genocide, agrees.

Anyone you see arguing against is it either a paid propagandist, or a follower of one.

The entire Australian ruling class is an accomplice to the crimes of U.S. imperialism and its creation of a new Fascist International.

Their main objective is a bigger share from colonialism’s carve-up of the entire planet, hence the aggressive encirclement of China.

Mamdani's meeting with Trump 1 day before his warmongering tirade at the UN exposes Mamdani as an accomplice of the regime. Those defending Mamdani within the DSA milieu, "well wadded with stupidity," are bitter opponents of socialism & the working class.

This is a Hitler-level threat!

Does US society wait until its ruling class destroys the world, or can it rise to its historic mission and remove these maniacs, reach out in peace to all other countries, reverse its imperialist legacy & end the cruelty of capitalist exploitation?

The first step in generating consent to war and genocide is to dehumanise a population. Israelis did it with Palestinians, Americans did it with Afghans and Iraqis and now they are trying to portray Yemenis as no good druggies so no one feels bad when they massacre them
