FRATERNAL REVOLUTIONARY GREETINGS IN STRUGGLE, FROM WITHIN THE TOMBS AND STEEL CAGES OF THE NEOCOLONIAL MILITARY SUPERMAX CONTROL UNIT GULAG OF THE IMPERIALIST BEAST !!!

You have probably heard of the serious medical issues that afflicted me by the genocidal design of my captors stemming from 24 consecutive years in solitary confinement, malnutrition, constant harassment by the pigs, no recreation or exercise, social isolation, censorship of my revolutionary writings, and a pattern of systemic genocidal torture and brutal repression designed to break my will and my spirit of resistance. I had a stroke in November 2025, at the McConnell Unit in Beeville. Before then, I had been struggling to get medical attention for a series of maladies I had developed as my physical and mental health began deteriorating, namely, bladder infections, neuropathy, B 12 vitamin deficiency, among other disabilities, all ignored by the prison.

On these issues. I have been going back and forth to the main Galveston prison hospital, to the Carole Young Medical facility for surgery and a series of tests and so forth. I am now at the Estelle medical unit (E2) in Huntsville, Texas awaiting to, again, be transferred to Galveston for the testing ordered since December 2025, delayed time and again, under a policy that when the prison is on “routine lockdown” for cellblock searches for contraband, all prior medical appointments are cancelled. For example, I had a scheduled test in Galveston for May 12 but on May 11 the unit went on lockdown, and all doctor’s appointments are cancelled. The unit warden runs this plantation-like gulag like his own kingdom. For more updates on my situation, please visit Instagram.com/freexinachtlinow, or at wwwfreealvaro.net.

My Xinachtli Freedom Campaign (XFC) in Houston has done, and continues to do, an excellent job in reaching out to others, building membership, staying in touch, holding forums, workshops, producing outreach materials such as T-shirts, posters, publishing my revolutionary writings, essays, etcetera, and coalescing the liberation movement of colonized, oppressed communities of Black, Chicano, Indigenous First Nations and supporting each other. My XFC meets every two weeks, online to discuss themes on our agenda and to hold revolutionary co-education discussions on fortifying the campaign and creating a coPost too long.

PERU ELECTIONS 2026
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).

They refuse to be nuanced. Everything is "West bad, East Good", no matter the context, no matter what they do. It's evidently not ideologically informed but simply globe-level tribalism. There should be nothing difficult about saying, for instance, that in the context of the US vs Cuba, Russia is in the right, whereas in the context of Russia vs Ukraine, Russia is in the wrong.

A thread focused on discussing the parasocial relationships cultivated by the Almighty Algorithm to generate profit off of our atomization and society's commodification of petty internet drama.
Brace through the hyper-real lacanian void together!

Any communist who does not hate the police, hate them as much as or more than the bourgeoisie itself is not to be trusted. The pig in uniform is not merely a servant of capital; he is a traitor to his own class. The capitalist exploits you openly, extracts your surplus value, for profit. The cop, by contrast, is a class collaborator who has traded the collective self‑interest of the working class for the individual power of a badge. He is the armed wing of the bourgeois order, the thug who enforces contracts, breaks strikes, and puts a bullet in the back of any worker who dares to resist. They are the slave catchers that put the bodies that exist outside of wage labor behind the walls of slavery.

This makes the cop more disgusting than the boss. The boss at least performs a material function, the organization of production, however exploitative. The cop performs a purely repressive function. He adds no value. He creates no wealth. He exists solely to protect the property relations that the bourgeoisie has stolen. He is the parasite on the parasite.

The FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the entire alphabet of federal law enforcement are not mere obstacles to liberation. They are the central nervous system of the counter‑insurgency apparatus that has been built to suppress the American working class from inception. The FBI's COINTELPRO program did not just spy on the Black Panthers; it murdered them, framed them, and destroyed their families. The FBI's anti communist division is very likely tied to the CIA. The DHS did not just deport immigrants in history; it built and continues to build a surveillance architecture that tracks every phone call, every text message, every credit card swipe of every American who has ever uttered a word against the state. These are domestic occupation forces, deployed against the very people they pretend to serve.

The cop on the corner is not a public servant. He is a soldier in a low‑intensity war against the poor, the Black, the brown, the immigrant, the leftist, the mentally ill, the homeless. He is trained to see the working class as the enemy. His job is to manage the "disorder" that capitalism inevitably produces, the hunger, the addiction, the rage, the desperation. And when he cannot manage it, he kills it.

So no, we do not "reform" the police. We do not "defund" them in the liberal sense. We abolish them. Fuck every cop, and every leftist that doesn't get down with this iPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
