Jangan terperap dalam bubble sendiri. Akhirulkalam, jangan racist, jangan classist. Sentiasa berpesan kpd diri bahawa antara orang2 miskin tertindas lebih banyak persamaan daripada dengan orang2 kaya di atas. Sebabtulah yang jahanamkan Melayu biasanya Melayu atas bukan kaum lain
The LKY quote about whoever rules Singapore needing "that iron in him" is so funny. You'd think he ruled a transcontinental empire the size of the USSR with a bazillion ethnicities and gorrillion religions, not a small port city on the world's most important trade route
There are broadly three lines of thought in Marxism, globally. The first, often located in the West, takes class analysis seriously, but does not see the "decisive importance that [imperialism] has in really existing capitalism" (Amin). Taking class analysis seriously does not 1/

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.
My response to the Singapore government’s malicious, false, & defamatory statement following the denial of entry into Singapore & the subsequent deportation on 22 March 2026.
By persecuting those who oppose imperialist, genocidal violence, who is Singapore protecting?
One advantage the Iranians have is that their entire elite seems to consist of 130 IQ polymath combat veterans with PhDs who stormed across minefields with fixed bayonets surrounded by poison gas back in the day and then spent 30 years studying philosophy, game theory, engineering and military science. Average decision-maker quality appears to be dramatically higher than elsewhere, especially qualified for shit-hits-the-fan situations
I’ve been banned from entering Singapore & was just deported to Malaysia. I asked immigration to provide the grounds for the ban/deportation, but they said they could not disclose them. It’s stunning bcs I stayed there for 5 years & was conferred a doctoral degree on 31 January.
Economist Editor-in-Chief: Clearly you and I agree, and we’ve both been critical of the Israeli government.
Tucker Carlson: Well, I’ve been critical of the Israeli government.
The Economist: I’ve been plenty critical.
Tucker Carlson: What do you think of what happened in Gaza?
Jesse Jackson recognized the humanity of Palestinians, and for that he was endlessly smeared as a terrorist-loving monster by the same Zionist media and political class who are now celebrating him to turn him into a harmless icon and symbol for their own depravity. RIP
In 1961, Fidel Castro sent weapons Cuba had captured during the CIA's failed Bay of Pigs Invasion to the Algerian resistance against the French colonizers. After Algeria won independence, they trained and sent guerrillas to help Che and Cuban revolutionaries who were in Bolivia assisting the struggle against the CIA-backed dictatorship there.
That is why they despise Cuba. They hate what they have dared to accomplish, and represent. They hate any form of Third-World internationalism and solidarity— when we unify against their objectives.
That is why they vilify them; offering any alternative to the capitalist-imperialist hellhole they've created for you; anyone who defies their hegemonic mandate and refuses to open themselves up to being ravaged by their corporations.
They hate that Cuba had the audacity to nationalize its resources and industries so it doesn't just belong to or benefit only a rich select few, but are put to use to secure every citizen's right to life.
That its people refused to continue to live in squalor— undignified, illiterate, starving— existing to serve as the Vegasesque holidaying paradise that it once was for wealthy Americans to splurge and gamble in. Where the sugarcane plantations lined the pockets of American elites through Batista's puppet dictatorship they'd installed there.
They hate that Cubans liberated their country FOR themselves. That they sought to control their own destiny and economy, instead of opening it up for foreign interests through privatization, deregulation and austerity that end up devastating the socioeconomic structure for the local population.
They hate that Cuba can organize its society so that the state can provide its citizenry with basic necessities like free healthcare, meanwhile people in the US choose to die at home rather than risk the cost of calling an ambulance.
Cuba has been under severe embargoes through 12 successive American administrations. Yet despite this subjugation, it is always one of the first countries to send free medicine/ doctors to any disaster hit countries— yet it is widely accepted as the epitome of evil within the collective western psyche.
Despite over half a century of persistent economic terrorism and internal destabilization efforts, Cuba continues to exemplify what is possible through a revolutionary model that prioritizes dignifying it's own citizenry with collective care and life. Rather than being a conduit for corporate power; that abandons its responsibilities and exists to facilitate maximizing the wealth of the powerful.
How do you have a functional state apparatus that is still able to successfully relocate millions when a hurricane strikes or can provide universal healthcare and free education to its people, and is making advancements in science and medicine despite it's hands being tied?
That's why they've now only tightened the noose; to make the people suffer and the economy to *scream* (as Nixon instructed Kissinger to do in Chile, to deter Allende's socialist reforms and successes).
Cuba shows us what's possible when you don't live under a (capitalist) system that profits off of death and destruction— that creates the conditions for people to be pushed onto the street; criminalizes them for it and then invests billions back into policing and terrorizing them for being poor.
Revolutionary socialism in stark contrast to the exploitation of capitalism that renders so many invisible and disposable for the sake of profit. At it's crux is this radical notion of dignifying and uplifting human life. The revolution is that radical love in practice.
Revolutionary Cuba today still stands upright and formidable in it's vision, despite the threats against it. It is the antithesis to the western capitalist-imperialist apparatus in every respect.
It dismantled the American colonial grip over the nation and has challenged their hegemony ever since. A thorn in its back-side; right in their backyard.
I’m reading Domenico Losurdo’s book on the myth of “Stalinism” from @iskrabooks — it’s very good.
Trotskyite wrecking goes all the way back to Trotsky himself who was actively involved in a coup attempts against the USSR and — yes — was objectively on the same side as Hitler.
Muhammad Ali got jail time for refusing to serve in the US army because he didn't want to participate in "Christian/unbeliever war" and kills brown people while his own race were oppressed at home. Meanwhile this idiot....
