Omg ho chi minh was a lib???

ho chi minh was president of north vietnam and had very little to do with revolutionary politics of south vietnam until much later after the us invasion of south vietnam. the national liberation front of south vietnam, referred to as the "viet cong" (vietnamese communist) by us propaganda, was not a communist party covertly created by a north vietnamese government conspiracy as described by the common pro-western narrative, it was a completely indigenous independent nationalist coalition that came together long before the us invasion and was comprised of people of many different ideological persuasions, the vast majority being apolitical and uneducated agrarian peasants, supplemented by a rearguard minority of communists, social democrats, bourgeois liberals, buddhists, ethnic minorities, etc. and all of these groups had banded together and formed a solidarity movement based on their mutual opposition to western imperialism and desire for south vietnam to be an independent nation that was not ruled by any foreign power, neither the western imperalists nor the north vietnamese communists. their first and only real priority was just to overthrow the us-backed puppet dictatorship of ngo dinh diem (then later the us-backed military junta which replaced him) and establish south vietnam as an independent nation, all the details as to how the new regime would be structured and what kind of government it would be were TBD and would discussed at a later time if and when their efforts to gain independence were successful. of course, they were not successful and the us invaded and destroyed the entire country and killed 3 million people, most of whom were innocent helpless civilians, in what is probably the most brutal and egregious displays of western global supremacy since the nazi invasion of eastern europe. the united states began conducting bombing campaigns from within south vietnam on military installations just beyond the north vietnamese border (operation rolling thunder) so as to draw north vietnam into the conflict and compel them to lend their support to the south vietnamese NLF forces, engineering a retroactive pretext they needed to justify the us invasion by saying that the NLF movement was a north vietnamese communist conspiracy from the very beginning and that the us invasion was an effort to save south vietnam from being taken over by communist north vietnam. but in reality, the us never conducted or even planned any real invasion of north vietnam nPost too long.

Dangote signs $4.2 billion gas agreement for fertilizer plant in Ethiopia
Dangote Industries Limited and the Chinese group GCL have signed a $4.2 billion agreement over 25 years to supply natural gas to Dangote’s future urea fertilizer complex in Ethiopia.
The plant, valued at $2.5 billion and owned 60% by Dangote and 40% by Ethiopian Investment Holdings (EIH), will produce 3 million tons of urea per year and is expected to start operations in 2029. The gas will be extracted from the Calub field in the Ogaden basin and transported via a 108 km pipeline to the Somali region.
The project aims to make Ethiopia the leading regional producer of modern fertilizer, reduce dependence on imports, and supply neighboring markets. Analysts estimate that the initiative could generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs and boost the industrial and infrastructural development of the region.

Ghana eyes new 1,200MW gas power plant to boost electricity supply, its biggest ever yet
Ghana plans to add a 1,200-megawatt gas-fired power plant to its electricity system, in what would become the country’s largest single generating facility.
The proposed plant would have a higher installed capacity than the 1,020MW Akosombo Hydroelectric Power Station, currently Ghana’s largest single generating facility.
Mahama said the project would not require new borrowing, with the government intending to finance it from its own resources.

Lamu Port’s Cargo Throughput Jumps by 900%, Buoyed by Shipping Disruption
With ocean carriers drawing up contingency plans for cargo destined to the Gulf region, some ports on the East African coast have gained a strategic advantage. As the Hormuz blockade persists, major shipping lines have informed customers on potential rerouting of goods, with the option of leaving containers at safer ports.
Lamu Port was commissioned back in 2021 but remained largely under-utilized for its first three years. However, global shipping disruptions have seen Lamu benefit as ocean carriers adjust their services. Last year in August, Lamu port made history with the docking of Hapag Lloyd’s Nagoya Express, which is the longest containership to ever call at an East African port. The 335-meter-long boxship has capacity for 8,604 TEUs.

Three mega-projects backed by Dangote, Turkish investors put $40bn behind East Africa’s Indian Ocean trade ambitions
hree major projects backed by Dangote, Turkish investors, and East African governments aim to invest over $40 billion to reshape trade along the Indian Ocean coast.
A $17 billion refinery in Lamu, Kenya, spearheaded by Aliko Dangote, plans to process 700,000 barrels of crude oil daily for regional distribution.
Somalia and Turkish investors are developing a $4 billion port, special economic zone, and industrial hub near Warsheekh.
Tanzania and Uganda are collaborating on a $20 billion-plus energy hub at Tanga, including a refinery, pipelines, storage, and a marine terminal to serve East and Central Africa.

Somalia, Tükiye boost spaceport cooperation
A Turkish military transport docked at Mogadishu Port in February 2026, offloading a shipment of M48 and M60 Patton battle tanks in a move that signals a significant escalation of Ankara’s military footprint in the Horn of Africa. According to informed security sources, the tanks will be positioned to defend Turkish installations in the Warshiikh district, approximately 60 kilometers north of Mogadishu. The location is reportedly being prepared for missile and satellite launch operations, leveraging Somalia’s equatorial position—an optimal site for aerospace trajectories.
The protection of the Warshiikh installations represents a primary concern for Ankara. As the aerospace project advances into a critical stage, these tanks offer an essential shield against unconventional threats in the Middle Shabelle region. The increase in heavy military equipment follows recent security assessments regarding Turkish personnel and facilities. This mobilization aligns with Turkey’s recent introduction of F-16 fighter aircraft to the area, demonstrating a broader dedication to protecting its multi-billion-dollar investments in Somalia’s energy and technology sectors.

the couple who are running this "intentional community" are older than i am, and way way wealthier than i will ever be. the real story most likely is that they irresponsibly bought a multi-million dollar house that they could not afford and they went upside down on the mortgage and decided to try to weasel out of it by becoming glorified misclassified landlords who enjoy all of the benefits of being landlords while evading most of the regulations by claiming to be a co-op. and of course, a quick google search reveals that the house is still privately owned and the married couple are the only names on the deed and it's not a cooperative entity at all as they claim to be, the other "community members" are tenants and they own nothing and if the owners decide to raise the rent or throw them out or sell the place they probably have very little recourse because of what a convoluted legal clusterfuck it would be for them to try to do anything about it and probably not worth any lawyer's time.

i know that capitalism and finances and legal matters are boring old boomer stuff and totally lame, but leftists would really do well to educate themselves on these kinds of things because, the real ugly unspoken truth about america is that the corruption is fucking everywhere, it's not just the GOP politicians or wall street or the techbro billionaires who are crooks. a huge segment of the middle-class american population, regardless of political persuasion or how innocent they may seem on the surface, are actually dirty slimy greasy people doing all kinds of shady shit - phony housing co-ops, quack therapists and self-help gurus, fraudulent small business owners, crooked small-time landlords, rampant elder abuse and estate fraud, parents embezzling from their children, children embezzling from their parents, seniors selling their prescription opioids to their teenage grandkids, enormous amounts of tax fraud that goes unnoticed simply because nobody has bothered to do an audit, etc. our whole society is filthy from top to bottom and the sooner you come to grips with it the better. you don't empower yourself or right any of the world's wrongs by being a naive youthful idealist, you do it by being a crusty, cynical, miserable son of a bitch who trusts no one.

>imho alot of the time the problem self corrects cuz well adjusted people will eventually get sick and tired of them
You'd think so, but one way in which this can (and imo has) been disruptive to the left is that it's a constant wrench in the gears of any socialist intelligentsia. Obviously ordinary workers aren't going to bother with this nonsense, but the movement will still need an intellectual wing which will most likely be drawn from the educated middle strata. Unfortunately those people are the most likely to actually take this sort of nonsense seriously, and the most likely to allow it to become a real obstacle to organizing or theoretical clarity. That in turn prevents the integration of an intellectual vanguard with its natural proletatian base.

>>2922363 (OP)

it's just nonsense, drivel, like 99% of the rest of what comes out of people's brains. there is no "stamping this out" it's just everyday lowest common denominator human mediocrity that exists absolutely everywhere. sit at a table in a coffee shop by yourself for a while and actually listen to the conversations of people at other tables and you'll hear all kinds of insipid stupid crap. one time i overheard a guy say that trump was "just making a big skeptical" and my coffee almost shot out my nose.

Palestinian communists seek broad electoral alliance to challenge Fatah-Hamas polarization
The Palestinian People’s Party (PPP) is stepping up preparations for the November 28 legislative elections, working to forge a broad left-wing, democratic and social alliance that could emerge as a third political pole beyond the longstanding Fatah-Hamas polarization. PPP General Secretary Bassam al-Salhi said the party does not regard the elections simply as a contest for parliamentary seats, but as an opportunity to rebuild Palestinian political institutions and restore popular participation. Al-Salhi argued that the vote must go ahead, its results must be respected and the process should ultimately produce “one government and one Legislative Council,” overcoming the existence of parallel political structures.

Democratic Party Consultants Surround Troy Jackson with Pro-Israel Donors
The Troy Jackson campaign in Maine may have found a new way to measure just how far Democratic Party consultants are able to drag a candidate away from his grassroots supporters. This week, as Jackson ventured into the Facebook group set up for his volunteers, he was facing a legion of Maine supporters expressing a deep sense of betrayal, following an exposé by Rebecca Traister in New York Magazine, which had laid out in precise detail how a squadron of mostly out-of-state political consultants had done as much as possible to drain the life from Jackson and his campaign. In the Facebook group, Jackson’s defense of his campaign, and his attack on the reporting, was considered so condescending that supporters concluded there was no way that Jackson himself was running the account—and promptly kicked Jackson out of his own Facebook group, with less than six weeks until election day. Jackson, it turned out, was indeed still manning his own Facebook account, and he has since been allowed back in. But the damage his consultant-run campaign has done to his relationship with Maine voters will take more than a restored account to repair. Interviews with sources in Jackson’s orbit, and a review of campaign doPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>bordiga said hitler was an authentic revolutioanry
He didn't tho

i already know this and have kind of always known it, if not consciously then subconsciously. but what george carlin got wrong is that it's not a big club, it's a very small and very exclusive club that gets smaller and more exclusive every day. and it's not the only club either; in addition to the elite club of people at the top who have everything, there is a second diametrically-opposite club of people at the bottom who have almost nothing, and that club is big and inclusive and gets bigger and more inclusive with each passing day. and what i'm getting at is not some cliche idealistic pipe dream about a future revolution where the poor masses overthrow the wealthy elite, it's more like a reframing of the narrative, re-evaluating our highly-indoctrinated perceptions of who and what we really are, understanding that the power and wealth and prestige of the elite is not real, it is an elaborate facade, a smoke-and-mirrors parlor trick that requires tremendous and continuous effort and resources to maintain. this idea that the elite are somehow outside of everything, outside of reality, outside of the laws of nature, is a fantasy which ultimately no amount of money or power can ever permanently reify. and likewise the innate weakness and helplessness and bondage of the common masses is also an elaborate fiction, the common man is not weak or stupid or servile, he is simply an occasional victim of temporary circumstance and in the grand scheme of things he is remarkably resilient to every manner of suffering and hardship and calamity. the meek will not someday inherit the earth and they don't need to, because they are the earth, they are reality, always have been and always will be.

the elite are the ones who live in a glass house and it is only a matter of time before something they failed to account for causes the foundation to crack and the entire structure to fall and crumble to dust and leave them suddenly denuded of all the protections they have grown so accustomed to, whereupon the remorseless uncompromising forces of nature will rub them out of existence without missing a beat. meanwhile, the common folk who are one with the earth, who have spent their entire lives bending and flexing and adapting to the forces of nature out of primal necessity rather than trying to resist them and control them by brute force out of hubristic extravagance, will adapt and survive and make the best of it as they have always done through all mPost too long.
