Cuban border agents fire upon Florida-tagged speedboat, killing four
In a statement published on social media, the Cuban government described the boat as having a licence plate from the state of Florida, a peninsula roughly 145 kilometres, or 90 miles, from the island.It also accused the speedboat of firing the first shot, precipitating an exchange of gunfire. “The crew of the violating speedboat opened fire on the Cuban personnel, resulting in the injury of the commander of the Cuban vessel,” the statement said.

Ive come to a realization and that is that praxis is opportunism. Youre concerned about a rogue group being infiltrated by the state and youre right. Thats why you should prepare when the state is weak. This goes along with the great man theory. There can be no great msn without fertile soil.

I posted about this glowie Maoist poser before, but new dirt keeps showing and it's even worse than I thought. Juche Douche isn't just pushing decentralized Mao crap to derail real ML discussions he's also straight-up anti white and racist as hell.

Every time the convo turns to proletarian unity across nations, this dude slips into digs at "white settler" this or that hut hatred of white workers. I've seen him in threads dismissing class struggle in the imperial core as "white privilege nonsense" and praising Third Worldism while implying white people are inherently counter-revolutionary parasites. Classic Maoist racial essentialism dressed up as anti-imperialism.

He'll quote Mao on the peasantry and "permanent revolution" all day, but when someone brings up actual internationalism that includes white proletarians, he pivots to "decolonize your mind" rhetoric that's basically just anti-white chauvinism. Last in colonialism thread, he was dropping lines like "the white race's historical role is oppression benefits" straight-up race reductionism that splits the working class along racial lines. That's not Marxism or anything leftist just bourgeois identity politics with a red flag slapped on it. d don't get me started on his little red book fetish while he ignores Stalin's contributions and slanders the USSR revisionism as "social imperialism." He's trying to turn our spaces into a Third Worldist cult hellhole where white comrades are treated like second-class revolutionaries at best, infiltrators at worst. If that's not racist wrecking, what is? hes also a gang member that sold drugs to his own people apparently.. lumpenscum are very untrustworthy i dont suppose anyone with a drug charge can lead any type of movement. Let's bury this wrecker. 🛑 His hourglass only has so much sand in it anyway, someone like this has made enemies and the left does not need to protect him or share his story when shit hits the fan. not to mention he takes anti zionism so far it borders anti semite. you'd think some time in prison he'd smarten up and stfu but nope, same old bs.

Lenin and the rest of the bolsheviks were so based in naming the new revolutionary state "Soviet Union". No nationalist symbolism, no ethnic supremacism, no historical callout to a genocidal past. Nothing. Just the union of worker councils.
Internationalism truly died in the 1920s. Every other "socialist movement after it has been Napoleon-like technocrats with 19th century aesthetics.

I miss this lil Stalinist like you wouldn’t believe.

In all seriousness though, what would it take to fully revive American communism? The Palestine Movement didn’t do it, the anti-ICE protests aren’t doing it, the queer movement didn’t do it, he’ll Occupy didn’t even do it. All the communist parties in the US are a joke (including the ACP) and yet we need a communist movement more than ever.

How can we be more like Foster and continue his legacy?

Killing kids? Fine.
Smoking weed? HELL NO YOUR GOING TO JAIL!

Isn't there this thing called the 9th amendment right to bodily autonomy? That would make a law to send suicidal people to jail under attempted suicide under the Self-murder laws. It would be nonsense. Drug policy is unconstitutional.

American culture, and I'm not talking about cultural objects like Burgers, Banjos, Straw hats, or Seersucker suits or cultural Music like Country, Rap or Jazz. Im talking about behavioral culture like Hyper consumerism, Hyper materialism, American exceptionalism, or the insane Police and Military culture that's normalized. Like the last two could be fixed if the left plays its cards right but the consumerism and Materialism thing I think could be permanently bricked into the American brain. I live in America and I will always remember this time when ii was a kid and my family was on our way back from a road trip and we stopped at a McDonalds that was around an hour away from our and my little brother was upset that my Dad forgot to order a Root-Beer so he said "Don't worry we will pass like 15 other McDonald on the way home." And he said that like it was normal. I don't even think that in countries like Europe you can just walk into a Walmart and get like 47 different flavors of Oreos, Like I don't think that its inherently bad but there is no way that we get the stuff to make those Oreos without exploiting the labor of Sugar farmers in or from Guatemala or something, if it was self reliant then its fine but America doesn't manufacture anything we use anymore, Our entire economy is just 5 AI companies shuffling money between themselves. I will always remember that time that Trump was doing in interview about the Tariffs and he said "Well maybe Girls in America can have two dolls instead of thirty dolls" and although I hate Trump and his hostility to China he Isn't wrong about how kids don't need to have 30 of the same dolls to survive, and of course that is why the liberal media attacked him for saying that more then the stuff that deserves condemnation.

The Communist Party, which has loyally supported the war in Ukraine, has become a target of the Kremlin.

In Russia, even supporting President Vladimir Putin's war policy is not necessarily enough as the security apparatus seeks to eradicate all opposition activity from the country.

This has been experienced firsthand by the Putin-loyal Communist Party, which has now found itself in the authorities' crosshairs, reports the Moscow Times.

The Communist Party is the second-largest party in Russia after Putin's United Russia, holding 57 seats in the 450-seat State Duma.
The party is part of the so-called systemic opposition that nominally opposes the regime but in practice supports Putin on all major issues.

In addition to the Communists, the systemic opposition is represented by the conservative and nationalistic Liberal Democratic Party (despite its name), the nominally social democratic A Just Russia party, and the self-proclaimed liberal New People party.

Before the war in Ukraine, the systemic opposition parties were allowed minor deviations from the official line, but nowadays they are expected to support Putin's line ever more unanimously.

"For those opposing the military actions, it may seem like there is no opposition at all, as all parties represented in parliament officially support the 'special military operation,'" summarized Stanislav Andreychuk of the Russian election monitoring organization Golos to the Moscow Times in April.
