In this thread we list crimes the USA has committed against Cuba to debunk the myth the USA wants to “free” Cuba

>On the 20th of april 1898 the United States intervenes in the Cuban war of independence against Spain supposedly on the Cuban rebel’s side but later betrays them on the 1st of January 1899 replacing Spain as Cuban imperial overlord and installing a military government in Cuba led by U.S. army general John R. Brooke.

Because you touch yourself at night

Huh

The Mob and other American organized crime groups had a huge presence in Cuba before the revolution. Cuba was a massive hub of gambling and drug and human trafficking under gangsters like Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano. Said gangsters were heavily involved in US intelligence backed anti-communist terror networks that tried to undermine Cuban socialism.

>>2837810
On on the 20th of May 1902 Cuba gained
Faux “independence” from the United States with a constitution that was accepted by the USA on the condition it was amended to include giving the united states the right to invade Cuba if it felt the Cuban government was jeopardising “freedom”, a limitation of the amount of public debt the Cuban government could have, letting the U.S. keep Guantanamo, Cuba required U.S. permission to entire into relations with other countries.

>>2837810

>>2838682
America used their right to invade Cuba to occupy it for a 2nd time from September 1906 to February 1907, to crush an Afro Cuban uprising in 1912, and to occupy it a 3rd time from August 25th 1917 to February 15th 1922

  1. How would anarchists respond to the criticism that, over 150 years of organized anarchist thought (from Bakunin and the International in 1866 onward, or even Stirner before that), their analysis of exploitation has remained largely vague and general?
  2. How do anarchists explain the origins and development of exploitation? And how would they account for the evolution of society without relying on concepts like class struggle and the dictatorship of the proletariat as scientific tools?
  3. Are anarchists generally committed to social ownership of the means of production, or do they tend to favor small-scale production and some forms of private ownership? How would they address the claim that anarchism is just bourgeois individualism turned on its head?
  4. How do anarchists propose to organize and educate workers for class struggle while refusing participation in bourgeois political institutions? How would they avoid offering what critics call one‑sided, disconnected fixes, especially when global coordination seems necessary and anarchism’s individualist tendencies may undermine it?
  5. How would anarchists respond to the observation that anarchism lacks a unified doctrine, elementary revolutionary teaching, or basic theory? How do they view the historical fragmentation of the workers’ movement often attributed to anarchist influence, and what can be learned from the short‑lived anarchist “state‑like” experiments?
  6. How would anarchists avoid the charge that rejecting bourgeois politics in practice ends up subordinating the working class to bourgeois politics—all under the guise of being “above” or “outside” traditional political action?

>It is vague. How does this exploitation occur? What are its characteristics? What makes someone a worker and what makes someone a boss?


A worker is someone who must sell their labor to survive because they don't own productive resources. A boss is someone who owns productive resources and therefore can extract surplus from those who do the work. Exploitation occurs through this structural relationship not through individual bad behavior but through the wage relation itself. It's the same basic analysis as Marx. The anarchist addition is that the state isn't just a tool of this class relation but co produces it. For example, enclosure, legal enforcement of property, suppression of horizontal institutions are all state functions that make capitalism possible.

>What else is anarchism based on if not scientific methods?


Materialist analysis of power structures rather than a teleological stage theory. The disagreement with Marxism isn't about method, it's about whether history has a predetermined destination requiring a transitional state to get there.

>Are anarchists for or against small production, large scale industry?


Social anarchists favor collective ownership and management of large scale industry through worker councils and federations. Not small production as a romantic ideal, not state ownership, but direct worker administration.

Yellow unions? All unions? Every social movement? What is "popular education"?

I'm not sure I'm going all-in on the tankie kool-aid, but if there's anything I can respect about this man, it's how quickly and decisively he handled business when he found out his brother was snitching on him to the CIA. If everyone in the world had this sort of attitude when it came to American feds, we wouldn't have any problems at all.

Kim is the only man to make Xi stutter and trip on his own shoes

Rumors has it Kim, during his off the record visit to China at the height of 2010s DPRK-China tensions, took Xi to an otherwise empty parking lot in which they had escorted Xi to park his car. When Kim and the Workers Party of Korea went with him back to the parking lot they surprised Xi with the introduction to the DPRK's first working nuclear missile. It was held by a crane 50 meters in the air, centered above Xi's car. Slowly but surely it was lowered, and the closer it got the sheer size of it was demonstrated. "P-Please! Stop! Stop that!" Xi exclaimed, but to no avail. Uninterrupted in its secure descent the nuclear warhead arrived at the roof and effortlessly smushing his car flat, before it stopped. Xi was at a loss of words, before falling to his knees. He uttered "I apologize", in Korean.

Where did all the anarchist arsonists go? What happened with the regular revenge killings and assassinations between leftists and rightists? Wasn't there even a story about an artillery unit possibly going rogue, with special forces on standby just in case? Why has all this been memory-holed? Seemed like there was a real possibility of revolution, and it been culled into only radlib circlejerks.

Anyone got any footage and content from 2020?
Any clear timeline of events and the main organizations involved?

https://youtu.be/Racjd5A8IDg

many years ago in the early era of youtube i found this documentary called haschisch about a community of rural hash farmers in morocco and it was pretty fascinating, it shows them doing the work of growing and harvesting weed and processing it into hash and selling it to smugglers to scrape out a meager living, hanging out and smoking in their off hours, very candid and authentic interviews with the various people involved in the operation where they just say whatever is on their minds. it's an interesting look into a community of people who live and operate in this unique sort of clandestine interzone between the industrial capitalist western world and the agrarian world of their ancestors. it's a true documentary done in a style you don't see so much anymore, it has no artificial narrative arc or narration of any kind, no corny emotional musical score to manipulate you into feeling a certain way, it's just life captured onto film.

despite the title it goes a bit deeper than just being a documentary about hash farming, particularly in the interview segments where you hear from all these people of different generations and their respective views and outlooks on life. the younger people seem to be a lot more restless and ambitious and disillusioned with this way of life and they have this very idealized view of modern western society and they talk about how they want to leave morocco and go to europe and go to university and have professional careers and stuff like that, one of them talks about his many failed attempts to illegally immigrate through the underground human trafficking network from the middle east into europe and how difficult and dangerous it is.

the middle aged guy who seems to be the boss of the whole operation comes across as somewhat disillusioned with it as well but ultimately resigned to it because a lot of people depend on him and he's been doing this for a long time and it's all he knows and he's not in a position to try to change and do something else with his life, he talks about the burdens and risks and the stress of running the business and how much work is involved and the hassles of motivating his workers because the younger ones just want to get out and try to run off to europe and the older ones like to partake in the product and just hang out and get high rather than work and he himself doesn't ePost too long.

China isn't "communist" in the old Maoist sense it's the world's most dynamic capitalist market today.
Deng Xiaoping's reforms were pure capitalist genius, decollectivizing agriculture, creating Special Economic Zones, welcoming foreign investment, and letting markets allocate resources where central planning had failed miserably. Hundreds of millions lifted out of poverty in a single generation, the greatest anti-poverty achievement in human history. Dengism proved that pragmatic market incentives, competition, and entrepreneurship work better than ideology. From a true capitalist viewpoint, this was masterful, "It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice."

>>China abides by the raw logic of the free market more purely than the USA. Unfettered competition, massive private sector growth (especially early on), and letting winners win.


>>As Adam Smith observed in the dynamics of commercial society, successful true capitalism naturally concentrates wealth and leads toward more socialized outcomes through its own success exactly what we're seeing as China's development matures into broader shared prosperity under the Party's stewardship. Pure capitalism, refined, evolving towards socialism, as Smith predicted.


>>Compare that with the United States, a corporatist, state capitalist racket. Big monopolies and connected firms get bailed out, subsidized, and protected by regulators. Market manipulators, lobbyists, and too big to fail banks are rewarded with favorable rules, while genuine competition and market demand supply are punished.


>>The revolving door between Washington and Wall Street picks winners and it's cronyism dressed up as "capitalism."


>>China rewards results and scale in the market while America increasingly rewards political connections.

The future belongs to whoever actually practices capitalism without the hypocrisy. Deng understood this better than most modern "free market" advocates.

It was bullshit even in the 1700s.

"Free" markets and "state" capitalism are both myths. Every economy on Earth is a combination of both private and state control. These are primarily political labels that countries use to smear other countries as part of the soft power propaganda battle. Capitalism is the problem, whether in China, or the USSR, or the USA, or the Moon, or Andromeda, or wherever.

>>2838412
fuck spengler, fuck noske, and fuck "prussian socialism"

North Korea is on the logical path towards anarcho-communism, whereas China is just on the logical path towards beating the enemy at their own game of economic mastery.

No the real answer is that the rate of profit is still high in China so they can afford to do capitalism the efficiency way, while it has collapsed in the West so the West has to do shit like outsourcing, increasingly cost imperialism, monopolies, financial scamming etc.

That's already legal and socially accepted though? This is what pisses me off about you faggots, you keep trying to draw dishonest comparisons between sex with consenting adults and these creeps fucking literal kids which weakens the entire position. It's how calling people racist or misogynist lost a lot of its power because dumbfucks kept applying it every stupid thing. Wouldn't be surprised if this is yet another thing being pushed deliberately by glowies to make acceptance of actual pedos easier to push through.

Crakkkers and WASPS have a long and ancient tradition of child rape, and torture for fun, even within their own family structures. The white elite have sold their daughters for favors from other bourgeoise for decades, generations, years, and royal white crakkker families have been involved in global rape for ages is this surprising? The arizona police deparment are some of the most vile imperialist zionist swine out there, they killed multiple comrades and covered it up. they put hits out on good people with neo-nazis, one of them ordering their killers on stormfront named jared 88, this is all i could find related to the murders. everything related was wiped from the internet, and the phoenix PD were in on it. Jared 88 is and was involved with mob members in witness protection, who were players in the organized human trafficking of minors.

>>2830238

>What does anarchy look like?


Federated worker and community councils managing production and distribution directly. The Zapatista autonomous municipalities and the Spanish collectives are the closest historical examples of this actually functioning at scale.

>How can anarchy be achieved?


Building dual power. Unions, cooperatives, mutual aid networks, popular assemblies until these institutions can absorb the functions of the state as it's dismantled.

>Which current groups best represent the movement?


Politically: Black Rose Anarchist Federation in the US, IWA internationally. Both have coherent theory and organizational discipline rather than just vibes. Prefiguratively: Cooperation Jackson and Cooperation Tulsa. They are building actual economic infrastructure like, worker coops, community land trusts, solidarity economy networks.

PENCILMAN FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS
Well dear leftypol, the country with more presidents in the decade now has to again elect one. After the debacle of Pencilman I, the betrayal of Dinamita Boluarte, the r*pist lapdog of Jeri and the sarcophagus of current Balcazar comes the rematch. Roberto Sanchez, exminister in Castillo's goverment is practically the second round candidate with Fujimori (no explanation needed). Now, he is being bombarded by the press to debilitate his campaing and with all the sloganeering as always (statist, terrierist, betrayer, etc).

especially great is that they are slammed down when their get rich quick schemes fail, as have been of interest to communists, to pick them up and (re)organize them after monopoly capitalism proletarianizes them, freeing them from the bourgeois mindset.
