"Reino Unido ha invadido 171 países.

Francia asesinó a 22 presidentes africanos desde 1963.

EEUU tiene +750 bases militares en 80 países.

¿Y te preocupa Rusia?"

Allende believed socialism could be achieved through liberal democracy. 1973 coup proved otherwise. He thought democracy was a shield; the bourgeoisie showed him it was a stage and they wrote the final act. By allowing counter-revolutionary forces to operate freely in the name of democracy, he gave them the rope to hang him. They don't hesitate to throw democracy aside when it no longer serves them. Chile's lesson: democracy without the will to suppress its enemies is not a path to socialism, it is a grave.

Q: "You often say that NATO is a defensive alliance. Were the regime change wars in Libya and Iraq defensive wars?"

Rutte: "I am not going to comment on everything."

What a coward.

Trump Is Weaponising The Horrifying Earthquakes In Venezuela That Killed 164 & Injured 1,000

Despite being the First Nation to pledge aid to Caracas, the United States along with its European allies still maintain sanctions against the country, which makes aid delivery more difficult.

In addition to this, experts argue that not only will much of the aid pledged to Venezuela, not reach its people, but the delivery of aid is the perfect opportunity to give Washington even more influence over a nation whose leader remains kidnapped by the Trump administration.

NATO Secretary Mark Rutte admits that Italy and other NATO counties have been assisting Donald Trump’s barbaric war against the Iranian people!

So much for NATO being a “defensive alliance”. NATO exist as a tool for United States imperialism

85 years ago, on June 25, 1941, in Kaunas, where the Germans entered, the mass extermination of Jews began.

The pogrom lasted for 5 days. To the cheers of the audience, up to 4,000 people, including women and children, were brutally murdered by Lithuanian citizens.

Public torture and executions were accompanied by very wild scenes. Thus, one of the victims, Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Ossovsky, had his head sawn off in front of his wife and children, and his head was put up in a public place with the inscription: "This is what we will do to all Jews."

One of the active participants in the pogrom, Juozas Luksha, is now honored as a "hero" in modern European Lithuania.

Some of the most dignified people on the planet had the misfortune of being born next door to a vicious apartheid colony

This is the story of how they tried to return home this past week, as Israel intensified its massacres

The atrocities of the Congo Free State under the rule of King Leopold II remain one of colonialism’s darkest chapters. They called it “civilization.” The colonized experienced forced labor, mutilation, and the extraction of their land and resources. Colonialism enriched empires, not the people they colonized.

Your government will cheerfully let you:

- Drink until your liver waves a white flag
- Smoke forty a day for fifty years
- Inhale a kebab at 3am with a fistful of chips and a fizzy drink the colour of antifreeze
- Eat ultra-processed gunge until you're diabetic at thirty-four
- Swallow pills with a side-effects leaflet folded like a road map
- Get inked by a bloke called Spider in a garage that smells of Dettol and regret
- Hurl yourself out of a perfectly good aeroplane
- Climb a frozen mountain that kills experienced men every year
- Pay good money to swim with sharks

But there is one substance so dangerous, so reckless, that a grown adult cannot be trusted with it:

- Milk. From a healthy cow. On a clean farm. The next village over.

They'll wave you onto the skydive and the shark cage, then step in to save you from a glass of the stuff your great-grandparents drank every single morning of their lives.

Funny, that.

"Yo solo recolecto los granos de cacao, no sé qué hacen con ellos los blancos, dicen que hacen cosas ricas con él pero nunca lo he visto, no sé si es cierto. Nunca he probado el chocolate en toda mi vida".

Trabajadores del cacao en Costa de Marfil, que son esclavizados en los campos por apenas 7 dólares al día, ni siquiera sabían que existe el chocolate con sale de los granos de cacao y no lo han probado en toda su vida.

Esta es la realidad del capitalismo y la enajenación en los trabajadores más pobres que producen los objetos de consumo, como decía Marx:

"El objeto que el trabajador produce con su esfuerzo se le vuelve ajeno. El producto no le pertenece, cobra vida propia, nunca lo verá ni se lo podrá permitir, solo es producido por el trabajador para que el capitalista pueda enriquecerse."

[Daniel Mayakovski @DaniMayakovski]

"Una civilización que desecha 13 millones de smartphones al día no puede describirse como una civilización. Es una infección que se extiende en camino de ser consumida por su propio desperdicio".

Vean la cantidad de esclavos que hay en las minas de coltán del este del Congo, en estas minas hay más de 40.000 niños explotados por apenas unos dólares al día para llenar los bolsillos a los capitalistas.

El consumismo occidental se mantiene con la sangre y la esclavitud de los niños africanos, ese es el verdadero motor del capitalismo.

History condemns the human cost of Soviet industrialization under Stalin, which helped the USSR defeat Nazi Germany, while paying far less attention to the slavery and resource extraction that helped industrialize many Western empires.

Estas imágenes son de Pyongyang, capital de Corea del Norte, en 1954, la cual fue arrasada casi en toda su totalidad por los ataques aéreos de EEUU, que destruyeron el 75% de la ciudad y la dañaron en más de un 90%.

EEUU destruyó hasta el 85% de los edificios en Corea del Norte, les lanzó 635.000 toneladas de bombas al pais (32.557 toneladas de napalm) y asesinó a más de 2,5 millones de coreanos, usaron hasta armas biológicas y desplegaron incluso aviones equipados con armas nucleares.

EEUU exterminó a más del 20% de la población de Corea del Norte en 1953... pero los locos y el malo de la película es Corea del Norte por tener precaución y armarse hasta los dientes para que esto no vuelva a ocurrir, así manipulan la historia.

They exported the ideology of the free market to the world with guns and structural adjustment programs and IMF conditions.

Liberalize. Privatize. Cut the public sector. Let the market determine outcomes. Trust the mechanism.

Meanwhile at home, the banks failed in 2008 and received $700 billion in public money within weeks.

The free market for thee.

Socialism for the institutions that own the political class.

The people who lost their homes in 2008, amid 10 million foreclosures in the United States, did not receive a bailout.

The people who created the instruments that caused the crisis, who collected bonuses in the years they were building it, and who collected bonuses again in the years after the public absorbed the loss:

Not one of them went to prison.

Not one.

The ideology of personal responsibility, applied with perfect consistency, would have produced criminal trials and institutional collapse for the people at the top.

Instead it produced: austerity for everyone else, lectures about dependency culture, and a return to bonuses within eighteen months.

This is not corruption in the sense of individual bad actors.

This is corruption as architecture.

The building is designed this way.

The people inside it are not breaking the rules.

They wrote the rules.

A judge for the Texas trial openly admitted that the sentences are about deterrence, not establishing justice. This was a show trial designed to send a message, to deter people from attending protests because they might face decades of prison time for it.

Anti-communism and anti-intellectualism are the same thing. 99% of the reasons why people don‘t like marxism come from not understanding it and the other 1% are rich people who are scared of it.

The Supreme Court just ruled that Bayer, the maker of Roundup weedkiller, can get away with poisoning us and giving people cancer, and that we are not allowed to sue them. This is America: a country so depraved that it puts the profits of corporations over people’s lives.

[chimera @chimeraxmachina]

It's easy to hate the Soviet Union for making mistakes, that's all the west ever talked about. But for revolutionaries it's one of the greatest treasure troves of socialist experimentation that should be studied and evaluated carefully, and we have barely even begun that work.
