Don’t let them re-write history: Gloria Steinem was a CIA asset who was tasked with subverting the feminist movement away from class-based analysis.
She founded the Independent Research Service that was funded by the CIA to spread anti-communist propaganda at youth festivals abroad.
When she was exposed as a CIA operative in 1967, Steinem confirmed her role to The New York Times without apology, claiming the CIA is “liberal, nonviolent, and honorable” and that she would do it again.
The CIA is one of the most violent organizations in history.
When people say, "Many other cultures had similar ideas to Marx," what they usually reveal is that they haven't actually read Marx and instead assume that Marxism is simply the idea of communism. But Marxism is far more than the belief that society should be communist.
just escaped a doomer spell by going to ILPS’s conference “against canadian imperialism: uniting for socialism” (!!!), talking to so many ppl abt many many things, protesting CANSEC, & joining on to CODEPINK Ontario’s upcoming brigade to Cuba! there IS hope if u get outside!
I Love Boosters is perfect because it tells the universal truth that you must reject the performative man (even if he models) to fulfill your ultimate goal in life (class war obviously)
You're a worker. You don't have to agree with every decision of the communist movement or of the socialist states throughout history, but to disavow them in their entirety means you disavow your own right to imperfectly fight for liberation. This is your history, too.
An important rule of thumb. If a revolt is a genuine revolt for the people, to increase the power of the people, global media will ignore and suppress it.
If a revolt is organised and funded by US imperialism to overthrow an inconvenient or opposing govt, it will be everywhere.
such a gut punch to think how communist leaders have always been accused of forced starvation/causing famines to slander them & communism as evil, when in reality it is the western capitalist class that has starved & continues to regularly, purposefully starve whole populations
I just spent a day going through China's new law (the original in Mandarin) which the BBC and other media all completely misunderstood legally and linguistically. A total misdescription. Let me go through those mistakes ⬇️
i mean ya “communist company” is a silly thing to say but it would also be silly to think that companies wouldn’t, shouldn’t, or can’t exist during socialist transition
Thousands of Cubans will die because of this murderous US blockade but of course the only way Canadians can understand this catastrophe is through its effects on the vacation plans of the moneyed middle class. Third worldists are right we are swine.
it’s beautiful to see someone in the diaspora take action to bring themselves closer to their motherland. we’re too used to diaspora disparaging their home countries while assimilating into wyt america. she’s not a “chinese american,” she’s american AND she’s chinese.
people will look you dead in the eyes and say it’s okay to send threats to a 22 year old because she decided to represent her mother’s country over the usa
underlying xenophobia/sinophobia that is never taken seriously: being chinese and associating yourself with your mother country china is always looked down upon by westerners. this is the type of white supremacy that is never talked abt and not even considered white supremacy -
