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).

Cubans are built out of tough stuff. They produce a lot of combat sports athletes too. A lot of the guys killed during Operation Maduro Booty Snatch were Cuban, but the thing is they did actually shot back at the Yanquis and died in combat.

It's not inconcievable to me that they give in from sheer exhaustion in the end, but I don't get the same feeling. Sometimes you have to trust your intuition, especially when your intuition says "I'm about to get my ass kicked." Which Cubans are very good at doing.

Your brain evolved to have a "I'm in danger" sensor, a "I'm going to get my ass beat" detector.

So the whole "China isn't helping!" bit was bullshit?

Realistically, how long would the FAR be able to hold out the invasion?

No reason to invade when you can just tighten the blockade forever

International Brigades Donate Medical Supplies to Havana’s Oncology Institute
More than 240 brigadistas from social movements in Latin America, the United States, and Europe delivered medical supplies to the Institute of Oncology and Radiobiology in Havana to support the care of cancer patients in a context of the tightening of the US blockade against Cuba.

Mass trials without due process in El Salvador: ‘Judges are afraid. They’re convicting everyone’
Analysis of the documents shows that most defendants were arrested under remarkably similar circumstances: police officers or soldiers on patrol in areas with gang activity would spot one or more individuals with a “suspicious appearance,” who would then allegedly attempt to “flee.” After detaining them, officers checked police databases and identified them as gang members. Of the 1,226 cases reviewed, only two involved arrests were made under an arrest warrant or following a judicial search warrant

Magnitude 7.4 quake rocks western Colombia, killing at least 111 people
Colombia’s President Abelardo de la Espriella, who reported the death toll, said at least 87 people were injured and around 1,600 buildings were damaged, including at least 61 that completely collapsed. He declared an emergency to expedite funding for the quake recovery while saying he would visit the disaster zone. “We aren’t going to leave people alone. They are in our hearts and we are going to tend to people with our full determination,” he said.

Student loan borrowers face steeper ‘marriage penalty’ under new repayment plan
The U.S. Department of Education’s new Repayment Assistance Plan, or RAP, increases the “marriage penalty” for borrowers, said Douglas Boneparth, a certified financial planner and the president of Bone Fide Wealth in New York. A marriage penalty typically occurs when a married couple pays more in income taxes by filing jointly than they would if each person filed as single.

Congress' disappearing town halls
August recess once meant lawmakers returning home to face constituents — sometimes friendly, sometimes furious. After a wave of explosive confrontations last year, many lawmakers have stopped them altogether. Rep. Mike Flood (R-Neb.) is among the dwindling number of lawmakers who still regularly subject themselves to the traditional, open town hall. "You've got to show up in the town square and answer the questions. I told people I'd do it when I ran, and I kept my promise," Flood told Axios.

Milburn is wrong about unemployment — and branding primary schoolkids failures won’t help
MINISTERS should give short shrift to Alan Milburn’s damaging proposal to brand children failures from an early age. Milburn is entirely wrong in viewing youth joblessness as primarily down to either education or the mythical generosity of the social security system. It is an economic problem. Britain has the lowest level of investment of any G7 country, a bottom-rank position it has clung to almost every year for three decades. Economists have long identified its short-termist corporate culture, exacerbated by the encroachment of private equity investors on a growing number of sectors. Equity markets and institutional investors put pressure on firms to prioritise short-term returns on capital and maximum dividend payouts — often undermining the longer term viability of the business or service in question, and discouraging investment either in technology or training. Instead of making up for a lack of private-sector investment with greater public investment, Tory and Labour governments have consistently cut it, while grand claims to possess an “industrial strategy” usually turn out to be overblown — dependent on lavish bribery to underwrite private profits in return for minimal promises on investment or jobs, which are then often broken without serious consequences.

Ceuta and the Ugly Face of Europe’s “Progressive” Nationalism
Earlier this month, more than 50,000 Moroccan migrants swam three miles through the open ocean to Ceuta, a Spanish colonial enclave city on the Moroccan side of the Strait of Gibraltar. These migrants are largely young Moroccan men and boys who are unemployed or precarious workers in search of a future. Youth unemployment is around 37 percent, and the Moroccan government represses political dissent. The mass exodus shows that tens of thousands of Moroccan youth would quite literally rather risk their lives than remain in Morocco, where resources have been funneled towards the 2030 World Cup and multinational industry, and away from the wellbeing, health, and opportunities of itsPost too long.

Class struggle is not actually the engine of history. Disease is. Disease kills more soldiers on the battlefield than combat. Disease kills more workers and owners than class struggle. Tuberculosis continues to kill over a million and a half people per year, despite its known cure. While conflicts between classes, elites, and economic groups have certainly shaped political movements and social change, many of the most dramatic turning points in human history were triggered or accelerated by biological forces that transformed populations, economies, and systems of power.

Disease has repeatedly disrupted the assumptions of civilizations. The collapse of the Roman Empire, for example, cannot be explained only through political corruption or class tensions. Epidemics such as the Antonine Plague weakened the empire’s population, strained its military capacity, disrupted trade, and reduced the tax base needed to maintain its institutions. Social conflicts existed before the crisis, but disease changed the conditions under which those conflicts unfolded.

The same pattern appeared during the Black Death in the fourteenth century. The plague killed a large portion of Europe’s population, creating a severe labor shortage. This shifted the balance of power between workers and landowners because surviving laborers could demand higher wages and better conditions. In this case, what looked like a class struggle was partly the consequence of a biological event that altered the supply of human labor. The disease did not merely influence class relations; it reshaped them.

Disease has also influenced the rise and fall of empires. European conquest of the Americas was not driven only by weapons, political ambition, or economic competition. Smallpox and other infectious diseases devastated Indigenous populations who had little prior exposure to Eurasian pathogens. These epidemics weakened societies, disrupted political structures, and made colonization easier. The outcome of global power struggles was shaped not just by armies and rulers, but by microbes.

Even modern history shows the same pattern. The influenza pandemic of 1918 affected societies already destabilized by World War I, influencing labor markets, public policy, and political attitudes. More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed weaknesses in economic systems, changed patterns of work, accelerated technological shifts, and intensified debates over inequality and government rPost too long.

"History" is not simply chronology, but is a concept.
The driver of history must concern a logic of development, not simply a process of change. This is why centuries can pass, but nothing of historical note can occur; the same way history often circulates around individuals rather than masses of people. History is an idea.

These dieases exist because of class society doe…. and without it the spread at this pace would not hold.

And when diseases do spread on mass usually it is afterhand when there is a crisis in capital.

It ceases to become a progressive force, and very likely fights to safeguard its own interests that diverge from those of the proletariats. From then on the solution is to perpetuate class struggle once the DoTP serves no more purpose

While the largest amount of tradcaths tend to congregate in America there's still plenty spread out all over the world. What are the implications of this split? Possible Antipope soon?

I’ve had some wild experiences on Mushrooms but I don’t think I’ve really had religious ecstasy from it.

TBH I think the “mystical” elements of religion are so completely ignored in modernity that people kind of dismiss what religious thinkers went through with “lol they must’ve been high”

Within the more mystical strains of Judaism, for example (I think you can learn more from studying “Merkevah Mysticism” or “Chariot mysticism”) there were religious/historical figures whose mystical experiences had such a profound effect on themselves that one became a “messiah” contender and disrupted Jewish society by preaching whatever their form of “heresy” is while another allegedly went incurably insane. For many of these people the experiences were so profound that many were willing to die (or, sadly, kill) for their beliefs.

So when these ancient Rabbis talk about seeing the chariot of God and going mad, I think it’s important to know that to many of these people their experiences were profoundly real.

>however I genuinely wish the Church made it easier to attend traditional Latin mass; I think its a beautiful thing that kind of falls by the wayside these days.
The Catholic Church is like any other organization with the corporatist drive for uniformity in worship – it's the same with Microsoft and pushing everyone to update to the latest version of Windows. Initially, that was the appeal of the TLM, but now that same drive has thrown off the TLM.
Latin itself was adopted simply because it was at the time the vernacular. I think Latin remained appealing afterwards because a foreign language sounds mysterious and intriguing and draws people in out of curiosity because it is unconventional, but also for its universal application of the Roman Empire.
The Orthodox Church keeps vernacular but the old vernacular becomes an eccelestical language.
A similar trend in English is seen among KJV-onlyists who like the old King James style English and made that a kind of eccelestical language. The nostalgia you see here is really a similar current with KJV-onlyists.

>>2877812
Yes? The Haitian colony was basically everything bad about post-revolution Haiti but with slavery stacked on top, so there wasn't really any loss in freeing themselves anyways.

>>2819423
As for why Haiti never had a proletarian revolution, the answer is that they were never really in a good position too. Haiti throughout most of it's history has mostly been an agrarian nation with little industrialization developing throughout it's lifespan, and industrialization makes workers a lot more class aware because of the relation to their labor and it's exploitation. The Haitian revolution being a bourgeois revolution alongside being a slave revolt probably didn't help either. Combine this with a ruling class who has basically been under the thumb of the US and who were actively stamping down on any serious communist movement in their country and you get a nation where most of the proletariat have very little class consciousness to speak of.

>Kant also rationalised war as a progressive force of "perpetual peace", where disputes are resolved by the forced result of a concession.

that's a load of crap. during kant's lifetime europe was in a state of perpetual war and he was insulated from all of it because he was a privileged intellectual, a gentleman scholar. his closest exposure to war was during the seven years war, when his homeland the prussian empire teamed up with the british empire and went to war with the rest of europe, killing about 10% of the entire european peasant population at the time. for a few years the russian army had occupied kant's home city and he and his fellow prestigious academics all immediately betrayed their country and swore allegiance to the russian empress in exchange for being allowed to keep their wealth and their positions. just for comparison, if a peasant soldier in the prussian army even tried to desert he would be forced to slowly walk a gauntlet back and forth between two rows of soldiers caning him on his bare back until he died, but a privileged prussian scholar like kant could publicly swear allegiance to a foreign enemy and it wasn't considered a crime at all, it was just business. this is the kind of person whom we are supposed to revere as one of the brilliant philosophers of our great western culture, this craven powdered-wig fop who lived inside of a plastic bubble totally removed from reality, sitting on ornate furniture writing about war and morality while getting drunk on expensive wine imported from an enemy country. a so-called "world citizen", like these modern-day silicon valley techbros who think that they are outside of everything and have this higher understanding of it all and are totally oblivious of their own tremendous privilege. western people who call themselves leftists really need to do something about their preprogrammed eurocentrism and deification of the historical european intellectual elite, which includes marx and engels. they need to stop internalizing the idea that all of the knowledge of the world comes from the minds of a few great men in europe and a few highly-publicized books, start becoming more mindful of the extreme historical biases in play and the fact that there is a whole other vast universe of knowledge beyond what we are taught in our schools that has always bPost too long.

Hegel also welcomed the conquest of Prussia by Napoleon because of the illusions of progress. If Hegel's life was immediately threatened, I doubt he would be so enthusiastic. As for Kant himself, he only published his Critique of Pure Reason when he was 57, and so lived a life of leisurely contemplation before then. His ultimate aims for the project of Perpetual Peace was the creation of a global government, such as the United Nations. Liberals in this time also concieved of free trade as a means of ensuring mutual interests, but free trade itself is mostly an imperial interest, so we return to hegemony.

On Kant's politics, I have discovered inconsistencies, where in "Groundwork for the Metaphysic of Morals" (1785) he sees the "moral law" as categorical imperative by practical reason, and so we are made free by the legislative act, presuming the legislative body above the executive branch (e.g. parliament above president). This has continuity in "Perpetual Peace" (1795) where a code of international law is suggested (which before this time there was only the "law of the seas" of Grotius, 1609). This really has precedence in Rousseau, such as in his "Discourse on Political Economy" (1755), where he says that the limit of positive law grants freedom henceforth, similar to Thomas Paine in "Common Sense" (1776), where he defines government as a "necessary evil", and thus a ground for freedom by its constitutive limit. We see in Coke's "Petition of Right" (1628) a cause for the "rule of law"; a sentiment carried on into Enlightenment. Yet, in Kant's other work "Principles of Political Right" (1791) we see that Kant views Sovereignty as the right of executiveship, reversing his apparent Republicanism by favour of monarchy over democracy. Kant's attitude to royalty was always inconsistent, offering praises to the Prince in his first edition of Critique of Pure Reason. He was an opportunist, as you imply. On Kant's class interests, we also see him philosophically justify an idea of intellectual property in his text "Of the Injustice of Counterfeiting Books" (1785). Copyright Law itself was an 18th century invention, with precedence of publishing rights limited in the case of the KJV Bible (1611), which is still in effect today. Kant makes note of the "profit" of unauthorised publishers being owed to authors, and so intertwines morality and monPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
