Happy Independence Haiti!
Jean-Jacques Dessalines led armies to defeat France to become the first free colonial society. It was the greatest slave uprising since Spartacus.
It was a powerful reminder that Black liberation Could be achieved.
It’s the 134th anniversary of the Wounded Knee Massacre, when the Seventh Cavalry killed 300 Lakotas in one the United States’ most infamous acts of genocide. Keeping with the Indian-killing tradition, the USA commits daily Palestinian massacres via its zionist entity.
The victory of the socialist revolution is 107 years old!
On November 7, 1917 (according to the modern calendar), the guns of the Aurora sounded in a new era, the world's first successful socialist revolution
Happy October Revolution Day ☭
Safe to say it’s beyond time for an independent working class and decolonial movement in this country. Otherwise we aren’t getting off this death spiral of settler colonial fascism.
‘The greatest gift the occupation can give me is to kill me… today, I’m 59 years old and truthfully, I prefer to be killed by an F-16 or missiles than die from COVID, from a stroke… at 60 we are closer to death… I prefer to die a martyr than to die a meaningless death.’
Hamas may have led the Al-Aqsa Flood, but the operation that changed history was overwhelmingly supported by all Palestinian resistance factions. red. media sat down with Maher Arafat Al-Taher, International Relations Officer of the Marxist-Leninist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) for an exclusive interview. We asked Mr. Al-Taher about the role of the PFLP in October 7, to which degree the PFLP was involved, his viewpoints on regional developments, and what the PFLP envisions for the future of Palestine.
please, to all my american friends. i’m fucking begging you to call your representatives. please, even if you don’t fucking post anything or say anything just please CALL THEM. please this is a chance to do something for us and for every nation affected by that terrorist state.
That said, vote Green or PSL if it’s feasible in your area. You don’t push Ds left by working inside their party, you do it by showing them how many votes they’re missing out on by sliding right. 3rd parties don’t have to win, they just have to show Ds there’s a viable left bloc
The best argument for voting D is that Ds ALWAYS position themselves as saviors when MAGA has power. Rs must be crushed so Ds can’t rely on fear tactics. U.S. imperialism won’t end w/o revolution, and working people will never turn to revolution if they think Ds are the answer.
That said, dems are in power right now. We have to show them we are willing to withhold our votes unless they do an arms embargo and force a ceasefire in Gaza. We must stand firm and draw a line of demarcation between us and our enemies, or they will continue to co-opt our mvmts
I’m re-reading “What is to be Done” and seeing some parallels between Lenin’s criticism of spontaneity (economism & terrorism) and the current argument that “at least people protested under Trump.” While true, most people protesting under Trump became resist libs, not communists.
Spontaneous protests are good but we shouldn’t confuse new waves of protest for genuine proletarian/socialist consciousness. We must agitate/educate/organize no matter who is in office, and it’s harder for dems to co-opt movements when they can’t blame republicans
WEST BANK INVASION UPDATE - 2 HOURS AGO:
"Scary and terrifying what is happening now. Suddenly and without warning, without even throwing false Israeli leaflets or army spokesman tweets, the IDF advanced under heavy fire cover from aircraft, marches, tanks, artillery and machine guns in the Qazan al-Najjar area south of Khan Younis.
Horrific massacres are being perpetrated now, and many appeals are coming from besieged families. There is a large escape of families under fire and heavy shelling.
Certainly, the army will deploy evacuation requests after its tanks reach where they want and claim humanity."

Dems, help me understand. Are pro-Palestinian, anti-genocide activists a tiny minority not worth listening to, or are they a powerful and destructive force dividing the Dem party and handing the election to Trump? You can’t have it both ways
