Today I spoke with @SocialistMMA (Nick Cruse) of the @RevBlackNetwork about what Marjorie Taylor Green and Zohran Mamdani can tell us about the state of bourgeois politics in the imperialist heartlands.
We also talked about the creation of controlled opposition, with a particular focus on the pseudo-revolutionary anticommunism of imperialist agent Leon Trotsky and the movement he spawned (Trotskyism).
We discussed the true impact of the Soviet Union during the period of VI Lenin and Josef Stalin's leadership of socialist construction, and just why and how workers in the west have been lied to about the USSR's phenomenal achievements.
Meanwhile, the US ruling class continues its genocidal campaign to try to starve the Cuban people into submission. After decades of resisting such efforts, what is the source of the tremendous resilience of this tiny island nation?
We also spoke about the economic crisis that is gripping the world capitalist system; why it is driving the monopolists and financiers into ever more war, and why we can expect more lay-offs and more austerity at home.
The truth is clearer than ever: socialism or fascist barbarism. We can keep begging for crumbs that are not going to come and keep allowing our rulers a free hand to drown the world in blood, or we can take hold of revolutionary Marxist science, build a real working-class organisation, and wage a determined struggle for socialist liberation.

@arielumpierrez En el tema de Trotsky y Lenin, está usted más perdido que volverlo a decir, Umpierrez.
Hoy se sabe que Trotsky era y trabajaba para la social-mesocracia. Inclusive, estuvo detrás de sabotaje dentro de URSS. De qué habla cuando dice que era Lenin el pro-occidental? 😂
You are defending a monopoly on what Europeans are allowed to hear. What you call “disinformation” is the uncomfortable truth. And with every sanction and every act of censorship against those who challenge that monopoly, the EU reveals its fear that Europeans will start asking questions.
Merz's party was just crushed in a historic debacle.
In one state, they again lost to AfD so badly they didn't even get above the 5% threshold for representation. In Berlin, they got crushed by a left-wing party critical of Israel.
So you'll never guess what he's blaming:
@CarlosQR52@MagJorgeCastro@DiazCanelB@PresidenciaCuba Pobre. El profesor más prestigioso de EEUU mismo, habla de los crimines de su propio país, y cita a The Lancet. Tú pones un fraude intelectual: el más desmentido de todos. El que incluye hasta a los nazis aplastados por la unión soviética como “víctimas del comunismo”🤣
@MagJorgeCastro@DiazCanelB@PresidenciaCuba Y la maravillosa democracia le hará caso; cambiará algo? Y los millones que mataron en y siguen matando en los países no-comunistas?
Yo creo que tú lo que quieres es раrirle un hijo a un gringo. De eso va tu amor al anglosajismo. 🥱

“American sanctions from 1971 to 2021…murdered 38 million people.”
Political scientist John Mearsheimer criticised US foreign policy and cited a report by The Lancet that says US sanctions have killed 38 million people worldwide
Banning Russian tennis players from having their flag next to their name -- when players from every other country on earth have theirs -- was always infantile. That it's still happening 4 years later is just pathetic, as if the Russian invasion is the century's singular crime.
Classic AOC:
She proudly tells TMZ on cue that she won't listen to Ed Sheeran's music anymore because of his cowardice on Israel.
But her candidate for House Speaker is Hakeem Jeffries, AIPAC's most loyal soldier who funded, armed and defends Israel's genocide.
Few are better at feeding gullible fans vapid, cheap and meaningless culture war slop, while doing the exact opposite when it actually matters.
anthropic worker: anthropic's AI could kill us all because it's being developed too fast and irresponsibly!!!!
at the same time, anthropic: let's build a pre-crime system to preemptively target people who think we are building AI too rapidly without proper safeguards
mmmm...
The "yes China is doing X [positive thing], but what about Y [negative thing]??" propaganda is destined to fail. It's painfully insecure. There isn't anything mentioned that the US isn't worse on, for most obviously so. Stunningly tone-deaf that they had a Koch deliver it too.
🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 Regarding "Ukrainian" Threats Against Russian Civilian Aviation
▪️Were Ukraine a nation with agency, such threats would be self-destructive & unthinkable, attracting even greater retaliation from Russia, but...
▪️Ukraine has no agency. Plans to disrupt Russian civilian aviation is part of a wider "Extending Russia" strategy the US has pursued for years, placing pressure across all domains - militarily, politically, financially, & economically - including all subcategories there in, including civilian aviation;
▪️Since Russia cannot/will not impose costs on the US, its only course of action is to retaliate against Ukraine, an entirely disposable proxy from Washington & Wall Street's perspective;
▪️Russia's strategy might focus on neutralizing US proxies & weathering US proxy war through its many means, all while avoiding overextention, and in this way, defeating the US strategy;
▪️Failure for Russia to do so means, no matter how badly Ukraine is destroyed, the US still advances its objectives;
