@pleyGRN@Ace_Archist @AlexBrangwin i cant imagine being so pathetic that you want to defend a group of people who can kill you like this with no repercussions. youre a giant loser.
@AlexBrangwin @Ace_Archist This videos one of the most infamous and indefensible. Its widely regarded as one of the most terrifying police murders because of how toyed with he was. Pretty insane for you to blame him for his own death under claims of "honesty" when its pretty widely agreed he was murdered.
In 1916, Lenin called imperialism the highest stage of capitalism.
In 1965, Kwame Nkrumah said that neocolonialism is the last stage of imperialism.
Both are obsolete. Since 1990, we’ve been in a new, even higher stage.
A 🧵 on debt, finance, the US, the Arab Spring and China.
As copycat right-wing coup-attempts continue to spring up, we should remember that it's not Jan 6th that is the model, but the Bolivian coup, which was enabled and roundly praised by the Western press.
if a country puts up memorials and statues to Nazi mass murderers who participated in the Holocaust and names streets after them, it's a Nazi country. This is not controversial
My critique of #Zizek is an analysis of his--pro-imperialist/anticommunist--position in the social relations of intel production. It’s part of a book on theory industry’s war on #Marxism. Chapters on #FrankfurtSchool#Foucault#FrenchTheory & more. 🧵1/7

"Anti-semitism is of advantage to the exploiters as a lightning conductor that deflects the blows aimed by the working people at capitalism... Hence Communists, as consistent internationalists, cannot but be irreconcilable, sworn enemies of anti-semitism." Josef Stalin
The capitalist class doesnt economically strangle nations like Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, etc because of "human rights violations." They do so because they cant allow large-scale socialist programs to develop into healthy societies that can be compared to capitalist societies.
Read Devil's Chessboard and JFK vs. Allen Dulles to understand Wall Street's role in creating the post-WW2 US empire. If you don't have any ideological blinkers, it's easy to understand the corporate avarice that animates the whole enterprise.
@adambnz It's not the opposite. It's exactly what I explained. Recent events have accelerated the multipolar agenda and made it more likely to succeed. The only two options for the US and EU are poverty or war. If they can accept temporary poverty the multipolar order will take over.
It’s either war with Russia and China to stop BRICS+ or the financial collapse of the US, EU and the entire Debt and money printing circus. It was never about the people of Ukraine. Ukraine is a sideshow. The main event is yet to come. The two options are poverty or nuclear war.
This person and others like him will be interested to know the record during the Cuban crisis is littered with identical arguments (from Goldwater & the like) about why talks were futile, appeasement etc. Their words today will age just as well.
It's so funny to me that the economy and markets are supposed to be these untouchable forces like gravity but as soon they began to advantage the wrong kind of people our economy wranglers just push a button and are like "there's a recession now."
Biden came to office promising the most progressive transformative presidency since LBJ or FDR— two years later he's delivered war, inflation & a few crumbs to the base...and now Trump has the highest favorables of any politician. So much elite failure in so little time.
Is super-duper punishing an invading state so essential we should risk the deaths of maybe billions of people? I'd say no, but if you're going to argue it is, then you can't just apply this deranged principle to Russia and only Russia. But that's how you know this isn't serious.
@Aaron_Good_@hate_nostalgia Ah, so that's why anarchist types reject the reality of Color Revolutions, "strategy of tension"-type operations, COINTELPRO, and everything else. I never really considered that their reasoning was that "it denies the agency" of so and so.
@micretz It is true that the financial press can sometimes be candid about things that the Establishment's NY Times or CIA's WaPo will lie about because their customers are paying for accurate information rather than for imperial mainstream bias confirmation.
