Reporter of China State Television CGTN, broadcasting in front of Gaza Shifa Hospital:
"I saw with my own eyes that there were at least 10 Palestinian children under the age of 5 without heads
Finkelstein: "Israel has become a nation of child killers. From Daniella Weiss to Benny Morris-from settlers urinating on children to soldiers filming a dying boy and blocking aid."
This is not a few bad apples. This is a citizen army.
When the entire spectrum-from extreme to mainstream-treats Palestinian children as subhuman, it's not an aberration. It's a national character
The last homegrown blockbuster of the summer is coming to Chinese theaters in a few days, and it’s about a Chinese restaurant owner in an unnamed Middle Eastern country whose life is upended by the invasion of (clearly) US forces. Very curious how this one’s gonna turn out…
🧵 CNN or CIA? Top 5 Journalists With Close Ties to CIA
Fourth estate or national security state? It is often difficult to know which one you are listening to when turning on cable news. In this series, MintPress highlights five senior media figures you might not know have extremely close links to the CIA.
No US military personnel have ever been targeted for stateside retaliation. That’s a paranoid trope with zero basis in historical fact. Make no mistake: This is so that special operators can commit crimes in secret and books like THE FORT BRAGG CARTEL will be effectively illegal.
Enough is enough. This time an 82-year-old American man has been left bloodied & injured by the IDF. And another attempt to hide evidence. This has to end.
If @USAmbIsrael can’t protect American citizens from this kind of violence, he needs to resign.
@HungNguyenTuan@sivtree@beyond_capital Left/right doesn’t matter to communists. But loosely in the west, left means socialists and (actual) anarchists and right means basically everything else.
@HungNguyenTuan@vampireshoshi@beyond_capital 3/3 The break with Bakunin was over means (whether the proletariat takes state power first) not over whether the state eventually goes. Lenin says as much in State and Revolution. The end goal of communism is the withering away of the state. Anarchism =
stateless society.
@HungNguyenTuan@vampireshoshi@beyond_capital 2/3 I’m an ML, not an anarchist. Most of what calls itself anarchism today is idealist and has no account of how classes reproduce. I’m not defending anarchism. I’m correcting your description of communism and understanding of anarchism. Anarchism is not just when “no laws” lol.
@HungNguyenTuan@beyond_capital You could speculate that anarchism is the “end state” after achieving and sustaining communism. In other words, a true “withering away of the state,” as Engels wrote. Sadly “anarchism” in all other senses is meaningless, idealist fantasy.
