This isn't a joke or anything
Cuba is gonna be invaded by the US by next month, and I don't have much hope in the Cuban armed forces alone.

Either an armed resistance needs to be established in the United States or international voluteers need to be formed for Cuba, either by the Cuban goverment or some communist org (PSL, RCI, etc).

It’s over Christcuck, Cuba has surrendered and is doing dengism. The Cuban revolution is OVER. Time to pack up your bags commies.

>>2867796
>>2867800
You both are complete retards who have projected your own psychological fantasies onto Cuba. No the Cuban state did not betray the revolution. They're choosing a path of transition toward a system that has proven capable of functioning under hostile capitalist imperialist conditions, while also demonstrating that it can transition back to a more authoritarian state model if and when necessary. They're not going to let millions die just to satisfy your bizarre fantasies or ideological fetishes.

Che Guevara was an amazing liberal revolutionary. Up there with Robespierre.

I mean he was a sub-par military theorist.

>>2867994
I'm so tired of anyone who uses the phrase "Dengism" to describe any capitulation to capital by an existing communist party.

For example, was Gorbachev doing Dengism? No. Why? Because he destroyed the party and the USSR, and did not pull anyone out of poverty, or make the USA more dependent on the USSR. Deng's gambit worked in the long term for the PRC. That's the difference.

>but the heckin proles


would have suffered under Yeltsinism instead of Dengism.



 

I’m getting really fucking sick of the Palestine Movement’s obsession with “celebrity” activists and how much it prioritizes these western activists over actual Palestinians.

All the time on social media I see incidents of sone western activist living in America losing their job for speaking out against Zionism and then proceed to raise $20,000+ through a GoFundMe account in response. All of that money could have been better spent by being directly given to Palestinian families in Gaza who lost everything because if the genocide, or at the very least organizations with a good reputation for helping Palestinians in Palestine. Western activists will survive without your $100 donation, Palestinian families in Gaza won’t.

Tgis obsession with propping up the personalities of “activist celebrities” is one reason the Palestine a movement has become such a clusterfuck. I’m talking about people like Hasan Piker, Greta Thunberg, Chris Smalls, Ms. Rachel, Kehlani, and Vic Mensa to name a few. How about we start focusing on actual Palestinians? The flotilla activists are the same way: they receive so much money and support when they know full well the Zionist authorities won’t let them into Gaza, making the flotillas merely a stunt. Yeah, they were tortured in Zionist prisons but so have thousands of Palestinians who will never have their voices heard in global media.

Or, when Elias Rodriguez goes to trial in a few months you can be sure he’s going to get tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of dollars in legal donations from Palestine activists. Gaza is suffering and yet you think giving money to a guy who will clearly be found guilty and spend the rest of his life in prison is a better use of your funds?

Celebrities and influencers should not be propped up on a pedestal at all but the same thing goes for these “I was fired for saying ‘Free Palestine’, I’m a martyr now, gib munny pls” types. Palestinians should be the ones centred here, not western activists who have made loads of money and clout for being pro-Palestine.

Israel may contain elements of white supremacy(arguably all states have), but it is primarily a state built on Jewish supremacy, what else would you call it when ethiopians and Indians are admitted, while indigenous Palestinians are driven from their own land?

>>2868132
death to all merchants regardless of race

>>2868133
The fact is it is a European settler colonial state despite importing Arab Jews and African Jews to fill out their ranks at the lower strata. Can't really be White supremacist unless you have other races to lord over and it's obvious why they would want the lower strata filled with Jews instead of Muslims. It's like saying America is/was a Christian supremacist state and not White supremacist because Black Americans are Christian.

>>2868141
You act as if those millions of Arab Jews were forced to go there, when in fact they went to Israel of their own accord, the Jewish element in Israel is the racial element. You view this as some sort of Ashkenazi master plan and when you look at a freak like Ben-Gvir and his ilk, you see them as manipulated victims or something. you’re just a liberal obsessed with identity politics and you really ought to just accept it.
I don't give a shit of a jew is blond or brown or whatever, I know a jew is a jew, everyone in the middle east or Muslim nation knows this, only liberals like you refuse to accept it.

>>2868229
also
>Can't really be White supremacist unless you have other races to lord over
This is truly the most idpol poisoned statement I have ever read. This is like arguing the Taliban would be fine with millions of Indian Muslims entering Afghanistan to be their lower strata or whatever bullshit You really are a typical Western leftist type, you would fit right in on r/breadtube

my investments just increased $750 in value overnight

my fellow party members will be happy with my next financial contribution

Friedrich von Wieser in 'The Origin of Value' (1884) coins the first use of the term "marginal utility" (Ch. 4, Sct. 2):
<In the following, I shall refer to the utility of a good—which is decisive for the value of a unit of that good because it corresponds to the least important use permitted by economic considerations—as "economic marginal utility" or simply "marginal utility" (cf. Jevons's terms "final degree of utility" and "terminal utility"). It will become evident that, in all cases involving the value of individual goods that make up a stock, marginal utility determines the magnitude of that value. Economic value is marginal value. [Ich werde im Folgenden den für den Werth der Güter- einheit entscheidenden Güternutzen, weil er an der Grenze der wirthschaftlich zugelassenen Verwendungen steht, den wirth- schaftlichen Grenznutzen oder auch kurzweg den Grenznutzen nennen (vergl. die Ausdrücke y)final degree of utilüy(c und yiterminal utilitya bei Jevons). Es wird sich zeigen, dass in allen Verhältnissen, in denen es sich um den Werth der ein- zelnen, einen Vorrath bildenden Güter handelt, der Grenznutzen den Ausschlag fiir die Grösse des Werthes giebt. Der wirth- schaftliche Werth ist Grenzwerth].

true or false?

Well, industry doesn't require selling to the world market; it can also sell to domestic markets (e.g. "Made in America"), which is naturally more expensive by costs:
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/11/heres-how-much-a-made-in-the-usa-iphone-would-cost.html
It appears more expensive to producers and consumers in the short-term, but can lower over time. Regardless, it is acting as a security, most especially for employment. A notorious example is the decline of Detroit:
<In Detroit, the devastating economic effects of deindustrialization continue to push inhabitants away from what was once the fourth-largest city in America.
https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/detroit-decline_n_813696
<Data says 51% of children lived in poverty in 2024, a rate that is three times the national average
https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2025/10/07/grim-reality-more-than-half-of-detroit-children-are-now-living-in-poverty-census-bureau-data-shows/
Of course, the lumpenisation of the proletariat doesn't reduce national costs, it only exacerbates them by the means of welfare payments. So, the national producer and consumer may be able to buy goods cheaper, but this is only relative to the social costs of unemployment and crime, resulting from it. In terms of effective policy for re-industrialisation, there have to either be incentives or interventions. In the UK for example, the post-war Labour government nationalised key industry sectors:
<Nationalisation was the Labour Party’s idea of putting the control of the main industries in the hands of the people, instead of a small group or shareholders […] 1 in 10 British people worked in these nationalised industries […] Many people believed the process artificially helped declining industries.

This is a good collaboration between Michael Hudson and Carl Benjamin on the debt cycle, expressed as class warfare. If I could appeal to both men, I would portray the wage relation as a type of interest-bearing capital. Aquinas of course also demystifies rent as a type of usufruct, and thus a usurious "double payment", or as Carl properly declares, indebted students must 'move uphill just to stand still', like the ancestral debts put on children in the ancient world, as Graeber writes about; the pension fund is no different - life serves death. Carl also describes student debt as a "tax" on young people, which is true, but I would comment that Adam Smith described profits as a tax also. What is common in all of this is a mode of surplus extraction by unproductive elements of society, and so a unified class struggle. We can read Marx on this issue:
<In the corvée, the labour of the worker for himself, and his compulsory labour for his lord, differ in space and time in the clearest possible way. In slave labour, even that part of the working-day in which the slave is only replacing the value of his own means of existence, in which, therefore, in fact, he works for himself alone, appears as labour for his master. All the slave’s labour appears as unpaid labour. In wage labour, on the contrary, even surplus-labour, or unpaid labour, appears as paid. There the property-relation conceals the labour of the slave for himself; here the money-relation conceals the unrequited labour of the wage labourer.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/ch19.htm
So, the "5,000 Year War" is not particular, but is a general struggle.

WILLKOMENSKULTUR IST VORBEI edition

>“The age of Willkommenskultur is over, the era of mass deportations has begun,” commented the Sweden Democrats party, whose MEP Charlie Weimers played a central role as ECR’s shadow rapporteur.

>In a rare show of unity on the European Right, the directive was adopted not only by the national conservative groups (PfE, ECR, and ESN) but also the EPP, which votes together with the leftist parties in the vast majority of cases.
>Most importantly, the new law will introduce a mutual recognition and enforcement obligation between member states regarding deportation orders, meaning migrants cannot circumvent return decisions by moving to a different EU country and restarting the process. A return order in one country will legally count as a valid order in all of them.
>Another important point is the introduction of third-country return hubs, making it possible for member states to externalize return procedures by sending migrants to secure facilities outside EU territory to wait for the end of the process, ensuring they won’t escape implementation once the paperwork’s done.

Trump dealt major blow as Supreme Court blocks attempt to launch ground invasion without Congress

By CNN Politics Staff

>The Supreme Court ruled that the administration cannot launch a large-scale ground invasion without first receiving approval from Congress.

In actual history he had soviet support

>>2867820
yeah because he was "progressive" and a useful ally in the chinese context.
But put this guy in the russian/soviet context and he would be a reactionary. The guy did not believe in class struggle but instead believe in class collaborationism based on social harmony. He did not believe in a dictatorship of the prolertariat but instead believed in a neutral state. Where the state would be the meditator of class issues and promote social/class harmony
This is deeply reactionary in the soviet context

>>2867826
He was objectively progressive because China was a quasi feudal backwater country being torn up by imperialists and he wanted to modernize it.

Anprim is a meme ideology created by people's spooks about a biblical Armageddon or it's equivalent (Cilmate Change, Industrial collapse). And anprim is ultimately a reactionary ideology wanting to go back to a mythologized version of time before civilization.

Going anprim will not save humanity, keeping some form of industry will be the best way to help save humanity in the long run. Earth has been in different climate changes before and will do so again.
