I don’t sympathize with those who serve under conscription. You can refuse. Take the six months in jail. Otherwise, you are complicit in your government’s crimes.
These imperial death plane shows are a nuisance to locals, particularly those of us who work in hospitality late night. End this yearly torture already!
Noam Chomsky taught an entire generation that socialism is an extension of liberalism; that leftism is about maximizing the 'personal liberty' of the individual. Now we see who benefited from this agenda.
The natural longing for collective existence, militancy, discipline, meaningful struggle - was all deliberately conceded to the 4chan Right. Who Chomsky's same masters created!
Meanwhile the 'left' became a clownshow of repulsive, hedonistic freaks preaching an antisocial ideology of the infinite freedom and modularity of the individual!
This is exactly why denizens of midwits and shills have called me and my movement fascist for years: They are disciples of Chomsky.
Chomsky lied. The history of the Left is not a struggle of 'individual liberty' versus the collective realities of restraint, hierarchy, and culture.
What has been forgotten by the US Left is the dimension of NECESSITY. Struggle not to be 'more free' to make random choices - but struggle according to the NECESSITY of concrete reality itself - class, history, national liberation, etc.
The revolutionary cause is a cause to bring HISTORICAL NECESSITY to fruition, the triumph of truth over falsehood, the triumph of one class over another. Not to 'free' the 'individual' from their embedded social context.
The Left-Wing struggles were always the struggle to FULFILL necessity, fate, and something that was - in some sense - ALREADY reality, but lied about. The dimension of necessity, truth/falsehood, ontology - was all thrown away thanks to Chomsly.
As much as I reject his overall philosophy, Louis Althusser - and his rejection of the methodological individual- is a perfect antidote to the disease of Chomskyism. It's also why the CIA explicitly targeted him.
The US Left should now prioritize unlearning Noam Chomsky and 'democratic socialism.' It's over, and the gig is now up.
Bombing Venezuela while coordinating a genocide in Palestine while threatening to attack Iran (again) while destabillizing Somalia while carrying out a heist in the DRC...
US imperialism is the greatest threat to peace and security in our world today and it's not even close.
They don’t just want Venezuela’s oil.
They want the lesson.
They want every country watching to understand the rule:
If you nationalize.
If you choose your own partners.
If you refuse the IMF leash.
If you keep your resources for your people.
You will be punished until you submit.
That is not foreign policy.
That is organized intimidation.
This is what Caracas looks like right now... another country under attack by U.S. imperialism, without a single prior provocation. Venezuela has never killed a single American citizen.
The world's real terrorists are the imperialists, not those who resist them.
#StopUSTerrorism
The criminal US regime is bombing Venezuela.
More than 70% of Americans are against war with Venezuela.
This is a war to steal Venezuela’s oil. If after Iraq you still fall for this, you’re a fucking idiot and a stooge of empire.
We went to Coral Springs and Lauderhill City Commissions to say it plainly:
No invasion of Venezuela.
Fund schools and communities, not war.
Teachers, immigrants, students, and ACP members called for peace.
Local leaders must do the same.
@OzmunC Americans don’t hate communism. They hate a CIA crafted caricature of communism intentionally designed to be unappealing to normal working people. Americans actually love everything communism stands for — they just do not know it yet.
This meeting served a very important function for the capitalist oligarchy: It keeps people believing the lie that change is possible inside of the very system that’s exploiting us to enrich the ruling class.
