absolutely disgusting. the US is going to continue to bankrupt cuba and makes its people suffer until the US takes full control. colonialism never ended
The US empire is waging a neocolonial assault all across Latin America.
The US blatantly meddled in Colombia's election. Trump and Marco Rubio backed the far-right, multimillionaire candidate Abelardo de la Espriella (a defender of fascist paramilitaries), and there are serious irregularities in the results.
Colombia's current left-wing President Gustavo Petro has been very pro-Palestine and pro-China. He cut relations with the genocidal Israeli regime and joined China's Belt and Road Initiative.
De la Espriella vows to form a close alliance with the US and Israel, and minimize relations with China. Just a few weeks before the elections, he was in Florida, meeting with far-right US politicians who are close allies of Trump and Rubio.
The same thing is happening across the continent. The US carried out a blatant electoral coup in Honduras, to put a drug cartel-linked, pro-US, pro-Israel, anti-China puppet in power.
The US is currently trying to steal the election in Peru, to put the daughter of the fascist former dictator in power.
The US empire already has far-right puppets in power in Argentina, Chile, and Ecuador. The leader of Chile is the Pinochet-defending son of a Nazi war criminal. The dictator of Ecuador is the son of the country's richest billionaire oligarch.
Brazil is the next target of the US empire's neocolonial assault, in this year's election.
This is the colonial Monroe Doctrine in the neo-fascist era.
"Tengo 88 años, tengo que seguir trabajando en un supermercado porque me quitaron la pensión al quebrar la empresa donde trabajé, me quitaron la cobertura médica, tuve que vender mi casa y todo lo que tenía".
El capitalismo que no te enseñan, Eddy, un abuelo estadounidense de 88 años, después de trabajar durante toda su vida, el capitalismo ni siquiera le aseguró una pensión y un seguro médico... tiene que seguir trabajando 5 días a la semana para pagar las medicinas y la comida.
Este es el presente y el futuro masivo que el sistema capitalista quiere para todos, donde los trabajadores son esclavizados hasta el último día de su vida sin tener ni siquiera una casa en su propiedad.
Wow this is incredible. @nycDSA co-chair @unionGustavo tells @hasanthehun that his community phone banks for @DarializaforNY may have identified 2000 voters, that was the final margin for her victory.
Wow that's incredible, the online left flexes its muscles in NYC.
young footballers still finding ways to train in Gaza: a boy who survived a bombing that killed his entire family, and a son whose father was killed while getting food for his family.
People doing above ground work might think that they’re safe from the sort of horrific government crackdowns on groups like the Prairieland 5, the ELF, the ALF, AIM, etc, but let me remind you that the net of what is considered “out of bounds” is expanding constantly and rapidly.
ABER WINS
Palestine was on the ballot, and now a Palestinian-American democratic socialist is going to Albany. @aberkawas is exactly who New Yorkers need fighting for them in the State Senate. Because socialists get it done. 🌹
ben & jerry (ben cohen & jerry greenfield) tried to boycott their ice cream from being sold in israel, so unilever went behind their back and sold a portion of the company to an israeli licensee against their wishes. israel is selling ben & jerry's through corporate domination
Great question from @Milliedrewgeorge and one I want to clear up: In 2000 Ben & Jerry’s was sold to Unilever as a publicly held corporation. Jerry and I did everything that we could to try to keep it independent, but SEC rules forced the board to make a decision to have the company sold because Unilever offered so much money for it. BUT there was a legally binding agreement that we negotiated that maintained the social mission. Now Magnum is violating that legally binding agreement. #freebenandjerrys
A Delaware judge ruled that corporations can vote in local elections.
While people sometimes ignore the votes closest to home, these races have huge impacts.
Almost every data center fight in America, for example, comes down to people chosen in your local elections.
BREAKING: Claire Valdez wins the Democratic NY-7 primary and will be the district's next congresswoman.
Claire worked in fast food and at Trader Joe's, and organized a union before seeking office.
She joins a wave of working people entering Congress to fight billionaire power.
🇨🇳 Mientras el capitalismo de EE.UU. crea un solo billonario...
El socialismo chino sacó a 740 millones de personas de la pobreza extrema.
Esto no es una anécdota. Es el mayor logro de reducción de la pobreza en la historia de la humanidad.
En solo unas décadas, China pasó de ser un país devastado por la pobreza a la fábrica del mundo y potencia global. Gracias a un modelo que prioriza el bienestar colectivo, la planificación estratégica y el liderazgo del Partido Comunista.
Mientras en Occidente crecen las desigualdades, los sin techo y la precariedad, China construye ciudades modernas, infraestructuras de vanguardia y una clase media de cientos de millones.
El socialismo chino funciona.
Y los números lo demuestran.
¿No es hora de reconocer que otro modelo es posible?
