“The English worker hates the Irish worker as a competitor who lowers his standard of life. He regards himself as a part of the ruling nation & becomes a tool of the English capitalists against Ireland, thus strengthening their domination over himself".
"The English worker cherishes religious and social prejudices against the Irish worker. His attitude is the same as that of the poor whites to the blacks in the USA. This antagonism is artificially intensified by the press & all the means at the disposal of the ruling classes".
"The Irishman does the same and sees in the English worker only the accomplice of the English rulers. This antagonism is the secret of the impotence of the working class. It is the secret by which the capitalist class maintains its power". The alternative is class solidarity.
"Gaza is an experiment by the mega-rich..." - Colombian president
Gustavo Petro frames Gaza as the elite's experiment: How to bomb humanity into submission. If they can erase Palestine, they can erase any people who resist.
"But Venezuelans are celebrating"
If they brought back apartheid to South Africa, you'd be able to find videos of SAns celebrating. Shit, if they brought back chattel slavery to America, you'd be able to find videos of Americans celebrating. Try and think deeper.
Trump is not a “dictator.” He is not unique or special. Trump is just an overt and grotesque version of what every USA president has always been.
Do not be tricked into believing that ridding ourselves of Trump will fundamentally change this country.
Denmark being completely and utterly spineless at the UN Security Council.
Spent their time condemning Venezuelan Government but have not even named the USA in their speech.
This cowardice will no doubt be rewarded by USA seizing Greenland.
In Jan 2023, prompted by the photo of an apartment destroyed in Ukraine, Ursula von der Leyen made a speech condemning Russia’s imperialism
This is a photograph of 80 year old Rosa González's apartment in Venezuela. Will she condemn condemn US imperialism now? Of course she wont
"US imperialists, no matter what modern weapons they may have, are not to be feared. A people united closely and fighting unrelentingly are perfectly in a position to defeat them."

“For Venezuela, we are prepared to give even our own blood!”
In a massive rally in Havana, just steps from the U.S. Embassy, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel today harshly condemned Trump’s bombing of Caracas as an act of terrorism and violation of international law. He also accused Washington of “kidnapping” President Nicolas Maduro, urging his supporters to “take a stand against fascism”.
@vonderleyen@kajakallas "Support a Democratic transition" is your way to explain your support for an invasion shows that your total disregard for international law and the UN Charter.
Stop treating the European public as total cretins.
Will you also call it that if Putin kidnaps Zelenski?
@vonderleyen@kajakallas When Russia launched its “special military operation” in Ukraine, you immediately accused Putin of breaking international law and called for consequences and sanctions.
Why don’t you make a comparable statement after the United States attacked Venezuela now?
