🗽UNITED STATES POLITICS 🦅
Freedom Fries Edition

🏈 💵Thread for hellish discussion of the Dying Burger Reich and the pedophile Hitlerite-Zionist clique of the American bourgeoisie and its iron grip upon the greatest bigliest country McGod™ ever gave McMan™ on the face of the McEarth™🌭 🍔

>Things are going to continue to happen in the stupidest ways possible that no one really takes seriously, where every single person compulsively reacts with either cynical grifting or useless panic and appealing to a political system of liberal democracy that is entirely dead and irrelevant. things will continue to get gradually worse, more people will lose their jobs and homes, the most destitute and marginalized will be oppressed by state-backed domestic terrorism, but the decay will simply continue and everyone who isn't actively being imprisoned and forced into slavery or outright exterminated will simply ignore it and maintain a cognitive dissonance of believing a civil war is happening while living their lives in a mostly normal fashion. The death of the United States will be slow, painful, and insufferably annoying and stupid.

<Death to the scourge of the earth, the destroyer of nations, the father of fascism, the enabler of ethnostates, the treatlerite tyrant, the protector of pedophiles, the exporter of ecocide, the captain of capitalism, the king of coups, the sultan of sanctions, the emir of the embargo, the autocrat of austerity, the doge of deregulation, the baron of busting unions, the prince of privatization, the lord of loan sharks, the patron-saint of proxy wars, the sponsor of settlers, the guarantor of genocides, the invader of islands, the Divided $nakkkes of Amerikkka™

>Hassaan Chaudhary, who identifies himself as newly appointed political director for Mamdani’s transition and inaugural committee on LinkedIn, used the word “Jew” as a slur, and even praised former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who infamously said Israel is “a cancer which will be eliminated soon.”

>Responding to Pakistani journalist Najam Sethi on February 9, 2012, Chaudhary said, “Hitler..why dont you face our Pakistani people? Your daughter works at WSJ [the Wall Street Journal].”


>He then invokes an Urdu phrase, saying, “oh forgot that Jew hoga tera baap” — which loosely means “Jew will be your father.”


>In another post, a thrilled Chaudhury also lauded Ahmadinejad and called him “fearless.”


<More recently, Chaudhary reshared a post on X in December 2024 aimed at pro-Israel Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat who is Jewish. “If Luigi [Mangione] had shot a Gazan toddler instead, Josh Shapiro would have given him a medal,” the original post said.

a friend of mine talks like this about Russia all the time. me and another friend try to point out that he shouldn't trust NATO propaganda but he doesn't listen. or he implies that we're pro-Russia or that we think Russia is going to win. to which we just say that we don't know because the war would have been over already if that were the case. and of course that one only has to look at which the direction the front is moving

the sad part is, you can see even die-hard ukrainians sounding the alarms at all fronts. but nato moves to until the last ukrainian direction, whether ukrains like it or not.

>>2563952
Tbh it was already over for NATO when the threat of instant armageddon if Russia ever moves westward was immediately downgraded to think-tanking up theories for how Russia will be defeated by circumstance. They’ve ratcheted up their involvement, risk and expenditure since then in an attempt to make the “correct” circumstances for Russia’s own self-defeat to come to pass, but ultimately NATO failed in its primary purpose as a deterrent against intervention in their expansionism and the reality that expansion is not actually for Ukraine’s protection laid bare.

So I hadn't seen a thread about this yet. What are we thinking in regards to the latest anime flag protests happening in Mexico against the Sheinbaum government? Organic mass uprising? Part of a global wave of revolutionary struggle? CIA sponsored destabilization efforts against US rivals/enemies? Full on color revolution? You decide!

Back then I said (paraphrasing) "in the absence of organized revolutionary leadership liberalism will inevitably take command, this does not invalidate the anger or grievances of the masses against the revisionist government and its liberal policies. The turn of the "communists" to neoliberalism and neo-colonialism is what precipitated this in the first place. As such, the correct communist position is not "law and order" but to move to take command of the left wing of the movement and shift it towards organized warfare."

I still stand by this. The inevitable fascist turn of the new government will further intensify the contradictions already reconstituting the Revolutionary Communist Party.

>>2563945
Actually I was trying to imply exactly that.

>>2563928
They are such a small minority of people in Mexico that it reeks of white supremacy.

>>2563955
calm down. the previous president's last name is Lopez Obrador. and everyone with a family history in Mexico is a mutt anyway. everyone hear has indigenous admixture to some degree. which makes our Mexican nazis extra funny and embarrassing

>Japan risked turning the entire country into a battlefield if it intervened militarily in the Taiwan Strait, an article published by Beijing’s military mouthpiece PLA Daily warned on Sunday, marking the latest escalation in a diplomatic clash sparked by comments from the Japanese leader.

<The row erupted after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi suggested earlier this month that a Taiwan crisis could be a “survival-threatening situation” for Japan, justifying a collective self-defence response. She said that any attack from Beijing on Taiwan could require Japan’s Self-Defence Forces to respond.

"turns out conservatives and reactionaries are just dumb after all" edition.

news:
- Your Party is suing itself, more at 11.
- The SNP and Plaid are going to form a "progressive alliance" somehow
- The government's going to do a switcheroo by raising income tax slightly and cutting national insurance to balance it out. (But they won't - follow this to its logical conclusion and scrap NI entirely)
- They're also considering cutting VAT on energy bills (which is the least efficient way of lowering bills you can imagine)
- The board of deputies asked Aston Villa for free footy tickets. In a worrying sign of rising antisemitism, Aston said nah.
- Labour is falling behind the Greens in the opinion polls as their strategy of copying Reform drives away their already-begrudging supporters without winning over any Reform voting reprobates. Nobody could have predicted this.

The problem isn't with "Islam", since there is no unified Islamic block anywhere in this world much less Britain. The problem is that in the UK context instead of allying with social minded and liberal Muslims, of which there is no end in UK, leftoids allied with the most lumpen, hardline conservative and patriarchal Islamic blocks because these guys often are capable of mobilizing large street actions.
Although i hate using Indian terms, this is what the Indians called "vote bank politics", and vote bank politics are bound to blow up one way or another

Do you pull all of this from the place where one excretes fecal matters? There was no 'split between the party and the people' during the times of Marx , because during the times of Marx the SDP and other left wing forces were the largest, bar none, popular assembly of the German people. It was Volkisch politics that were created by upper middle class international-minded people, and you can see this from the class composition of the various theosophist and esoteric orders of pre-WW1 Europe

someone should send neema marx's letters on irish immigration (december 11, 1869), (april 9, 1870):
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1869/letters/69_12_10-abs.htm
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1870/letters/70_04_09.htm
the class war pushes immigrants into england, causing competition amongst the working class (by which, the native workers end up identifying with the bourgeoisie in an imperial struggle rather than class struggle), yet it is the purposeful uneven development of foreign lands (i.e. aristocratic landlording) which creates the demand for labour in the first place. thus, securing national liberation for foreigners means a victory for the native working class of countries affected by immigration. without this, marx claims, "The [English] working class will never accomplish anything". what marx appears to imply (contrary to his earlier comments in the manifesto, 1844), is that proletarian inter-nationalism can only work by a series of compatible nationalisms.
>>2562502
do you know marx's definition of what a "communist" is? do you know what lenin's "vanguard" is? patricians, not plebs.

The idea that the problem is Islam per-se seems misguided. None of the independent alliance wreckers represent particularly hardline Islamic politics. When asked to justify why they support anti-transgender policy, they don't reach for the Quran, they instead speak of women's equality act protected rights to single sex spaces, the supreme court ruling, and, in two damning words, "british law".
In other words, the language of bog-standard British social conservatism of the sort practiced by all of the major English political parties.

You may say that this is just camouflage and that what they're saying in private is much more religiously motivated, but I can't comment on that. I can only comment on what they say in public, and if they're really lying then it's sufficiently damning that they are bad liars. They could've gotten away with staying quiet, they could have said "well, I'm a fairly strictly observant Muslim so what do you think I believe?" and left it at that, but they didn't: they volunteered their opinions and their style is as damning as their substance. "I hate them because Sharia says you're supposed to" would, at least, be a novel argument not advanced by any other party.
