It's the working class against the oppressors.

When Europeans steal a country they name themselves after it.

Israelis claim to be "Semites" despite being European

Colonists claim they're "Americans" while reducing real Americans to "Indians"

Boers claim they're "Afrikaners"

Identity theft is a huge part of colonialism.

When Joseph Stalin industrialized the Soviet Union, Western elites called it tyranny.
When cobalt is extracted in Congo under conditions like these to fuel Western corporate profits and consumer electronics, they call it the free market.

Came across this quote from Thomas Day, written in 1776 which felt relevant:

"If there be an object truly ridiculous in nature, it is an American patriot, signing resolutions of independency with the one hand, and with the other brandishing a whip over his affrighted slaves."

A primary reason for the US Revolution was that colonists wanted to steal land in the West but were banned by the Crown (imagine making the British Empire look tempered).

It wasn't just some rosy fight for civil liberties. Fundamentally, the US is a settler-colony like Israel.

President Maduro of Venezuela, the country with the largest oil reserves, has languished in a US dungeon for half a year, as the US Navy blockade his country & US firm Chevron rob it.

Everything he said about the US was true.

Iran was quickly blockaded next for the same reason.

before you criticize them, have u thought how they must be poor kids groomed and brainwashed by propaganda? they didn't mean it, they were just taking orders

Bolivia general strike: Workers in Santa Cruz region have been resisting police & paramilitary attack for the past three hours and counting.

The barricades on highway around San Julián were lifted by armed groups, but workers have re-establisbed new ones. Cat & mouse strategy.

Cuba helped several African countries in their liberation struggles against brutal colonial occupiers, including against the apartheid regime in South Africa which the US backed and supported. That’s what he means by “radical left-wing terrorism”, just to be clear.

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

Do people think Israelis fall out of the sky? They are Americans. They are from Germany, Russia, the UK, France.

It's a Western colony. Founded, armed, and supported by the West, and made up of Westerners.

[More Luigis Needed @LisaA311]

Interesting that wage theft is never called a national crisis

[Rakesh Kumar @Rakeshhkumaar]

Every liberation movement is called terrorism by those who profit from oppression.

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

They’ve spent ~2 years investigating me across 2 countries — with 0 charges to show for it.

Just endless harassment & state theft of my work devices for reporting on Western imperialism & Zionism.

You expect this from authoritarian regimes, not your own homeland & host country.

[Ahmad in Gaza 🇵🇸💔أحمد @mllmry1021745]

@richimedhurst Our suffering in Gaza never ends, and the world continues to ignore it. My family and I are living through harsh conditions, facing illness, hunger, and a lack of medicine. Please help by reposting this post—it may reach someone who can help. 🙏https://t.co/wHw2XiWlSu

[Pamphlets @PamphletsY]

@Rothmus ofc just false information

67% of Russians approve of Stalin its woke western liberals and their nazi allies who hate him

the ones who like him most are the older generations who knew his time

you are a liar, lying like many before you but less talented

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Why doesn't the media talk about the DR of Congo?

We are deeply concerned by Ebola outbreak in Congo

Congo is bleeding, It has not ended over 5 million people are dead and millions especially 40,000 children are in labor camps and cobalt mines around the country

The world must remember that we live in a society, not an economy

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

From a purely geopolitical viewpoint, Israel is an obvious US asset. The Average Joe doesn't see the value because it only applies to Wall Street and the political/military elite.

There is a lesson in there about class which is being wasted and going over people's heads.

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

Spot the difference.

Hint: there is none.

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

Remember when Gandalf thinks he defeated the Balrog and confidently walks off only for it to grab him and pull him down?

That's what I'm reminded of when some insist the US and Israel are done, as they continue slaughtering people in the background.

Wrong — and even dangerous.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

People show you examples of discrimination against Jews and it’s somebody wearing a watermelon pin or saying “from the river to the sea”. People show you examples of discrimination against Arabs and it’s families being burned alive in Palestine and Lebanon with western backing.
