A closer look at a flagship Tunisia-Italy electricity interconnection project shows that, in reality, it is reinforcing Tunisia's debt and dependency while helping Italy polish its green credentials.

In other words, it is a classic case of greenwashing.

Tunisia is facing an escalating energy crisis. Once nearly self-sufficient, the country now produces less than half of what it consumes. Over 95 percent of Tunisia's electricity comes from natural gas, two-thirds of which is imported from Algeria. Even electricity itself is increasingly imported.

In 2023, 11 percent of Tunisia's electricity demand was met by imports, underscoring the country's growing structural dependency and draining its public finances.Instead of rethinking this broken model, the Tunisian government has doubled down on it: borrowing from international financial institutions, privatising the energy sector and aligning with the European Union's decarbonisation agenda.

At the centre of this approach is the Tunisia-Italy Elmed interconnection project - a 200-kilometre undersea electricity cable promoted as a milestone of Mediterranean cooperation.

Behind the rhetoric of partnership lies a familiar pattern of green colonialism: Europe's decarbonisation achieved at the expense of Southern sovereignty.

The project is largely financed through European and World Bank loans and is implemented jointly by Tunisia's public utility, Steg, and Italy's grid operator, Terna.

In late September 2025, Steg and Terna awarded a 460 million euro ($532m) contract to the Italian manufacturer Prysmian for the construction of the 600 MW submarine cable, part of a project with a total cost estimated at 1.16 billion euros.

Fascism (Italian fascismo, from fascio — bundle, union, association) is a political movement that arose in capitalist countries during the period of the general crisis of capitalism and expresses the interests of the most reactionary and aggressive forces of the imperialist bourgeoisie. Fascism in power is the terrorist dictatorship of the most reactionary forces of monopolistic capital, carried out with the goal of preserving the capitalist system. The most important distinguishing features of fascism are the use of extreme forms of violence to suppress the working class and all working people, militant anti-communism, chauvinism, racism, extensive use of state-monopolistic methods of regulating the economy, maximal control over all aspects of social and personal life, broad connections with a significant portion of the population not belonging to the ruling classes, and the ability—through nationalist and social demagogy—to mobilize and politically activate this population in the interests of the exploitative system (the mass base of fascism consists mainly of the middle strata of capitalist society). Fascist foreign policy is a policy of imperialist conquest.

The common features inherent in fascism as a political movement do not exclude the existence of various forms determined by the degree of predominance of political or militarist forces. The predominance of militarist forces is characteristic of military-fascist regimes.

>>2570929
In the struggle to create a mass social base, fascism put forward a system of views (the so-called fascist ideology), which made extensive use of reactionary doctrines and theories that had developed before its appearance (the racist ideas of J. A. de Gobineau, J. V. de Lapouge, H. Chamberlain, etc.; the anti-democratic concepts of F. Nietzsche and O. Spengler; antisemitism; geopolitics, pan-Germanism, etc.).

At the center of fascist ideology are the ideas of military expansion, racial inequality, “class harmony” (the doctrine of the “people’s community” and “corporatism”), leadership cult (“the Führer principle”), and the all-powerfulness of the state apparatus (the theory of the “total state”). These ideas found their most concentrated expression in Adolf Hitler’s book Mein Kampf (1925). A very significant characteristic of fascist ideology is loud demagogy aimed at masking its true content. Serving this goal, in particular, was the speculative use by fascists of the popularity of socialist ideas among the masses.

Emerging as a reaction to the revolutionary upsurge heralded by the Great October Socialist Revolution in Russia, fascism became a fierce and dangerous enemy of all progressive humanity and above all of the international revolutionary workers’ movement. The first fascist organizations appeared in spring 1919 in Italy in the form of paramilitary squads composed of nationalistically minded former frontline soldiers. In October 1922, the fascists—who had become a major political force—staged an armed “March on Rome,” which provided the ruling circles of Italy with a pretext for appointing the leader of the Italian fascists (“Duce”), Benito ᴉuᴉlossnW, as prime minister on 31 October 1922. Over the next four years, the fascist leadership gradually eliminated bourgeois-democratic freedoms and established the absolute power of the fascist oligarchy. In the 1930s Italy completed the creation of a corporate state, which contributed to the militarization of the Italian economy. The democratic trade-union movement and the economic and political gains of the working class were abolished. ᴉuᴉlossnW’s government pursued an increasingly active policy of imperialist expansion. In 1935 fascist Italy launched a war against Ethiopia, and after conquering it (1936) took part in the intervention against Republican Spain (1936–1939); in Post too long.

The German fascist National Socialist Party arose in 1919 (the official name — National Socialist German Workers’ Party — reflected the desire of its organizers to exploit the influence of socialist ideas among German workers in the interests of extreme reaction). Amid a deepening political crisis, relying on support from major monopolies and forming an alliance with influential circles in the Reichswehr leadership, the leader (“Führer”) of German fascists, Adolf Hitler, received a mandate to form a government in late January 1933. By staging the Reichstag fire and blaming the communists (see Leipzig Trial, 1933), the German fascists within a few months completely “synchronized” the country, unleashing bloody terror on all democratic and liberal currents, imprisoning and physically eliminating all real and potential opponents of the Nazi regime. After the Communist Party, the Social Democratic Party and all traditional bourgeois parties were banned. All public organizations—especially trade unions—were dissolved; parliament was stripped of its prerogatives; all forms of public oversight over the state administration were abolished. The dictatorship mechanism created by National Socialism included a terror apparatus marked by extreme brutality (SA, SS, the Gestapo, the “People’s Court,” and other organs of fascist justice), an apparatus for organizing influence on the population (the National Socialist Party, the National Socialist Women’s League, the Hitler Youth, the German Labor Front, the “Strength Through Joy” organization, etc.), which controlled all forms of public activity, as well as an apparatus for propaganda control of the masses (headed by the Ministry of Propaganda). In close alliance with the military leadership, Hitler's government carried out a rapid militarization of Germany. A course was immediately taken toward militarizing the economy, accompanied by the implementation of various forms of state-monopolistic regulation (state investments, primarily for military purposes; tax policy; credit policy and planned inflation; administrative control over economic development; forced syndicalization or cartelization of industry; creation of new associations of monopolists, etc.). International agreements limiting Germany’s armaments were broken, and a series of aggressive acts were carried out to strengthen the military-strategic positPost too long.

"most communists are not taking any practical actions to bring communism any closer, they spend all their time posturing about ideas and vibes instead (like a religion or fandom), which is (to OP's point) why they prefer complicated and outright ambiguous language to simple language" is an argument, not an analogy. the analogy exists to hammer home the argument.

vanguard (of the working class) -> forefront, thought leaders, natural leaders

disambiguate private/personal property into personal property (things you own and use) and socially productive property (things that produce goods or services for the market)

organize (as an imperative) -> find out how you can support local socialists/communists/anarchists/people-feeding-the-hungry

organize (as an answer to "how can you make this happen?") -> connect with likeminded people, educate others, defend and support the vulnerable and poor in our communities, fight fascism, win the people's trust, govern by putting the working class's needs first, step by step transition to socialism

mass line -> solicit complaints and get to the root of problems

proletariat -> working people

bourgeoisie -> the super-rich

There's so much aggregated crap, wrongheadedness, disastrous failure, backwards-looking cultishness, and go-nowhere definition debates that it's easy to answer your strawman question with: yes.

There is no movement. There are barely movements capable of building the groundwork for a movement. There are millions of good people who basically vibe with the idea of socialism/communism, which is when the world isn't as shit as the status quo, and there are hundreds of thousands of stupid idiots (many on this website) who are very arrogant because they've got ideas and words floating about in their do-nothing heads. Knowing that the dictatorship of the proletariat is a special snowflake meaning of dictatorship different to the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein (wait, no, critical support for him against US imperialism!) or whatever does nothing to bring communism any closer.

Point me to a real movement that abolishes the present state of things. $80 if you pick something other than a foreign government which conveniently lets you outsource your ideological battles like they're the manufacture of cheap cutlery.

The same happened to Che in the Congo, why do people think that their "magikkk" has some effect on real, material and dialectical physics

some of the magikk, like traditional medicines derived from herbs (myth and medicine being inseparable in many societies), was (and still is, in places) a reasonably well-enough to work explanation for the processes of real, material and dialectical physics
not unheard of are drugs used today being extracted, isolated and used on their own in scientific medicine, like the antimalarial drug artemisinin which was discovered during the secret chinese cultural revolution-era program project 523, along with a number of other compounds extracted by Tu Youyou from a variety of traditional chinese folk remedies that she collected the recipes of on a journey throughout the country. this earned her a nobel prize in physiology
<https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21228382-000-the-modest-woman-who-beat-malaria-for-china/
however just like the medicinal plants which often contain not only the healing component(s) but also a number of other compounds including the ones with quite unpleasant side effects if ingested/applied on a human, if not outright poison that kills them; the magikk has a comparable byproduct of such in the idealist ways of thinking it is self-reinforcing

Welcome to the Jungle: An Interview with a Fighter of the Anti-Fascist International Front in Myanmar
Since the coup, the opposition has made impressive territorial gains and victories, such as the five-month-long Battle of Falam in the Chin State. Currently, the military controls about 21 percent of the country, while anti-regime forces and EAOs control around 42 percent, with the rest currently being contested. The most recent mass casualty event of the war happened on October 6, 2025 when regime forces used a paraglider to bomb a Buddhist festival that was also an anti-government protest; at least two dozen people died including two members of the resistance group Sagaing Region Strike Forces. The conflict is complicated due to several reasons: the variety of EAOs and anti-junta groups operating in the country and their differing goals, the influence of China and other countries, and a 7.7 earthquake in March, among other factors. One such anti-junta force is the Anti-Fascist International Front (AIF), a relatively new armed group that came together before the Battle of Falam. Below, we have an interview with Azad, a fighter of the AIF. Militant Wire co-founder War Noir facilitated and conducted the interview.

The Communist Party of Venezuela on U.S imperialist aggression and the national crisis
Washington attempts to justify this military presence by claiming to be fighting drug trafficking. However, this narrative is nothing but a smokescreen designed to conceal its true objective: to intervene in the Venezuelan political crisis in order to secure strategic and economic advantages for U.S. capital. It is in this context that one must interpret the recent statements by the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, who arrogantly declared: “the Western Hemisphere is America’s neighborhood and we will protect it.” History shows that U.S. imperialism adapts its excuses to the moment. During the existence of the Socialist Bloc, it invoked the “communist threat” to justify coups d’état, invasions and covert operations. After September 11, the pretext shifted to the “war on terrorism.” Today, it instrumentalizes the so-called “fight against drug trafficking” to carry out extrajudicial executions in the Caribbean aPost too long.

>Why does the left support the Bourzoua Practise of Letting in Millions upon Millions of low wage workers/ welfare parasites or brain drain for the intrest of Capitalist Elites?
every time you come here and ask this question, my answer is the same: immigrants aren't parasites. Capital seeks workers the cheapest labor market. Capital does this by outsourcing or using immigrants. Notice I say capital, because capital is a system. Even if individual bourgeoisie do not individually conspire to bring about this outcome, it emerges as a property of the global economy. The oppressed nations under imperialism have the cheapest labor markets. People flee imperialism seeking higher wages. The people who flee imperialism seeking higher wages end up getting jobs in the imperialist countries which pay them higher wages than they would make at home. They send part of these wages home as remittances to their family. Many who are against them might do the same thing in their shoes. Brain drain functions the same way, but with professionals and managers instead of workers. This is the actual underlying incentive structure of capital. This will continue to happen until rates of wages roughly equalize across the globe, which will not happen under capitalism. In the mean time reactionaries carry out campaigns to scapegoat immigrants for fleeing cheap labor markets. They call the migrants parasites even though capital creates these outcomes. They fuel these campaigns with racism and militarism. They actually start new imperialist wars which destroy infrastructure and means of production in target countries, reversing the level of development in these countries and lowering their wage rates further. Then they turn to the camera and say "wow, look at these third world brownoid shitholes!" with zero self awareness. Coups, sanctions, embargoes, invasions, bombing campaigns, and many other strategies are used to bring about this state of affairs. Reactionaries also lobby for a walled world. They want commodities to be more free to move than people. They want strong immigration controls. They want to pull a large portion of the adult male population away from productive activity and make them pigs, troops, and border guards who keep conditions shitty for both foreign and domestic workers, but especially the foreign workers, who get depPost too long.
