China is far stronger than the USA in a total war off the Chinese coast where its full industrial might is brought to bear. However, it has a much smaller long range/blue water navy than the US has, and supplying such a navy in Venezuela when the supply routes run through the two island chains with US military bases would be impossible anyways.

>>2569513
Venezuela should really invest heavily in MANPADS and interceptor drones considering how much the US military relies on extremely vulnerable large/low flying aircraft to counter guerrillas. B52 bombers, AC130s, A10s, attack helicopters, MQ9s and other drones not built for stealth, etc

His mother is some indie director. Probably how he makes these amazingly videos. Of course not the same as Trump's privilege but Zohran is not from a random poor family.

(Also something to keep in mind for the anti-immigrant "socialists" who lurked around here)

It's prestigious, but I doubt either of them make that much money at all. Being an indie filmmaker and being a college professor usually don't pay that well.

>>2569732
Sure I guess the better word for the similarity between them is prestige, not raw wealth.

Mohammed bin Salman expected to lobby Trump over UAE role in Sudan, sources say

Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman is expected to lobby US President Donald Trump over the UAE’s support for the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan when the two leaders meet at the White House next week, multiple Arab and western officials have told Middle East Eye.

The move, which follows a phone call last week between Mohammed bin Salman and Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) commander Abdul Fattah al-Burhan, would mark a rare direct engagement between the Saudi ruler and Trump on Sudan.

The UAE has backed the RSF throughout the war using supply lines that run through southeastern Libya, Chad and, increasingly, the port of Bosaso, on Somalia's Puntland coast. Abu Dhabi continues to deny the allegations.

Multiple sources monitoring the war told MEE that their internal traffic showed an information war was already under way between UAE and Saudi-backed social media accounts. Accounts linked to the UAE are looking to discredit journalists and organisations that report on RSF atrocities, while Saudi-linked accounts are boosting the same content.

A Sudanese source briefed on the call between Mohammed bin Salman and Burhan said that the general told the crown prince there was no way the war in Sudan would end without US pressure on the UAE. The source told MEE that Mohammed bin Salman promised Burhan he would raise the issue with Trump.

An Arab diplomat in the region told MEE that Abu Dhabi is anticipating Mohammed bin Salman's visit to Washington to result in such pressure.

Emirati, Israeli and far-right influencers 'invented Christian killings in Sudan': Report

Beam Reports, a Sudanese investigative platform that combats disinformation, said in its latest report on Wednesday that after the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group seized control of el-Fasher in Darfur nearly a month ago, misleading content about the nature of events began to surface online in a "synchronised manner".

The objectives of the coordinated campaign, Beam Reports stated, included shifting blame of atrocities away from the RSF, recasting Sudan's war as a religious conflict to "evoke foreign sympathy", and flooding the online space with fabricated content to confuse media coverage.

Beam identified Amjad Taha, an Emirati analyst, as the architect of the campaign. He posted several claims about alleged Islamists in Sudan, which were then amplified by other accounts.

One claim alleged that Britain was about to grant citizenship to a "Sudanese jihadist" whilst "Christians are being slaughtered in Sudan and Nigeria by Islamist extremists".

Taha added that Sudan's army had "killed 2 million Christians, displaced 8 million, and raped 15,000 women, while leftists stay busy attacking the UAE… a nation where church bells ring freely".

Taha also claimed that a Sudanese army officer had "eaten a man's heart after killing him and his children". Again, no evidence was provided, but such claims were amplified by Emirati, Israeli and far-right accounts.

The Sheikh Who Conquered Soccer and Coddles Warlords

The Emirati vice president is best known as the owner of Manchester City, a top English soccer team. Behind the scenes, he has been described as the “handler” guiding his country’s secret foreign wars.

>Charities controlled by Sheikh Mansour set up a hospital, saying they were treating civilians. But that humanitarian effort was also a cover for the secret Emirati effort to smuggle drones and other powerful weapons to General Hamdan’s group, the Rapid Support Forces, or R.S.F., according to American and U.N. officials.

But that humanitarian effort was also a cover for the secret Emirati effort to smuggle drones and other powerful weapons to General Hamdan’s group, the Rapid Support Forces, or R.S.F., according to American and U.N. officials.

>In interviews with more than a dozen American, African and Arab officials, he is described as being at the sharp end of his country’s aggressive push to expand its influence across Africa and the Middle East.

>In places like Libya and Sudan, they say, Sheikh Mansour has coddled warlords and autocrats as part of a sweeping Emirati drive to acquire ports and strategic minerals, counter Islamist movements and establish the Gulf nation as a heavyweight regional power.

>President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, was allied with Iran, a fierce competitor with many Arab states for influence in the region. Sheikh Mansour was tasked with wooing him to the Emirati side, Sudanese and American officials said. A series of back-channel meetings culminated in 2017 with a high-profile visit by Mr. al-Bashir to Abu Dhabi.

1970 was when Lon Nol's fascist Khmer Republic was in power, which it maintained until 1975, allowing the US to obliterate its farmland with bombs all the while. Then the KR takes the capital and suffers the brunt of the food shortage.

the food shortage was the prime reason for april 17 city depopulation and the KR policy avoided a much, much worse fate

I think BE is really jaded and pessimistic when it comes to American politics, but I do share his criticisms of the American left and their current strategy. I honestly think a big part of the DSA and the American left don't try to do any actual organizing to build an independent leftist party on from the local level is because they don't know how to actually engage with people locally, and are unable or unwilling to have to talk with people who don't align with them fully or are *gasp* conservative. Also, organizing with the local level means having to constantly deal with the reality of organizing being very long-term (talking months to years to decades) with no guarantee of success, and that just scares the shit out of the already bitter and depressed millennial/gen Z DSA base.

no, socialism is a transitionary stage headed by a dotp who aims to advance the productive forces as rapidly as possible in order to obtain the material basis for a classless society. marx also said this stage will look different in each country due to their historical circumstances and level of development. full on communism (classless, stateless, moneyless) is the next mode of production.

>>2568997
>no, socialism is a transitionary stage headed by a dotp
This is leninist revisionism. Marx never said this.

>>2569008
no, it's classical marxism.
>Between capitalist and communist society lies the period of the revolutionary transformation of the one into the other. Corresponding to this is a political transition period in which the state can be nothing but the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat.
marx always framed socialism as a transitional stage, not a final economic system. it also retains elements of the old society. and because it is transitional and contains elements of capitalism, marx does not treat it as a fully realized mode of production.

>>2569036
It was bait but Marx rarely even mentions socialism and instead talks about lower stage communism.

>>2569146
right but thats a semantic difference. we can call it lower stage communism or use the convention of socialism and communism being different stages. the important thing is the class character of the state, and a dtop is not a dtob, its not social production for private profit, but social production for public need according to democratic decision through representative democracy.

i think the reason a lot of people get it twisted is because liberals appropriated a lot of communist rhetoric. like a rising tide really does lift all boats if you actually build necessary infrastructure, but thats not what liberals do thats just what they say.
