You cannot have a social democracy at home and imperialism abroad: the current system of savage capitalism depends on a system maintained by the imperialist project. To undo one you must undo the other. A leftist domestic policy must be complemented by a leftist international one

@J4CKYL3GS@dwesterster@SocietalCanary@_tarrvis@jasonhickel@TiloJung exactly! thanks for the wonderful source, JungleKid! very interesting how after the dip from the colonial powers fleeing/boycotting BF, the country had a steep growth. shortly falling back to shit after sankara’s murder 🤡
Blinken vai continuar usando Bolsonaro para frear a China, mas não vai tirar fotos com ele. Está preocupado neste momento em acossar a Venezuela e em impedir a esquerda de tomar o poder na Colômbia.
@dwesterster@SocietalCanary@_tarrvis@jasonhickel@TiloJung lol, maybe you should provide sources to back up your claims that sankara was a dictator and ruined Burkina Faso since you were the one who brought it up 🤷🏻♀️
try to find a credible one, not some western rag regurgitating imperialistic motivations to keep BF dependent on the west
@dwesterster@SocietalCanary@_tarrvis@jasonhickel@TiloJung whatever man, i’m not here to convince you of jack shit. youll keep on with your western brainwashing and mental gymnastics to defend the status quo because it benefits you. just wanted to show you and others how much your stupid talking points dont hold up
@dwesterster@_tarrvis@SocietalCanary@jasonhickel@TiloJung if youre oh-so-worried about the poor ppl in burkina faso go do something about the chokehold parasitic france has on them with eternal debt. but nah, ofc you dont give a fuck abt any of it. you just want to slander sankara and feel soooo clever
@dwesterster@_tarrvis@SocietalCanary@jasonhickel@TiloJung what a crock of BS. from which western source did you take these ~facts? The Economist? you know who really destroyed BF’s economy? the colonizers before&after sankara. your ppl cant stand to see the global south’s emancipation attempts that yall come running to sabotage it
"...Let's produce what we need and consume what we produce, instead of importing goods. I, along with my delegation, we are dressed by our weavers, with cotton from our farmers. Not a single thread comes from Europe or America. This is how you live with freedom and dignity."
34 years ago today, Thomas Sankara, the revolutionary leader of Burkina Faso, was assassinated in a French-backed coup. He aspired to an egalitarian, feminist society, and an economy built on self-sufficiency, ecological regeneration, and independence from Western powers.
Farmers had warned that 10,000 pigs might have to be destroyed every week because of a shortage of workers at industrial slaughterhouses https://t.co/GrYgSYMhi5
enquanto isso, americano pode vim aqui sem critério nenhum, o exército americano pode fazer ~exercícios de guerra durante mais de mês aqui, e a indústria e pesquisa nacional inteira entregue de bandeja pra gente continuar dependente dessa sacola de bosta que é os EUA
