The EZLN and Elections in Mexico
The disagreements between the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) and the political power in Mexico have been constant. Since the 1994 uprising, the Zapatista position regarding elections has had three key moments. Presidential elections are once again approaching in Mexico and, as every six years, more than one begins to question the Zapatista movement for its supposed “position” in the electoral process. But, what is the historical position of the Zapatista movement regarding the elections? We take up again three key moments to approach the position of the communities

Why Egypt's Sisi continues to protect Israel
This official Egyptian indifference, contrasted against widespread public anger, aligns with the regime’s stance since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza on 7 October. The regime’s strategy revolves around the Camp David Accords, signed with Israel in 1978 - its sole strategic framework across the military, political and diplomatic arenas. This strategy has consistently benefited the regime, which has exploited it fully. In a telephone interview with a Saudi TV channel, Diaa Rashwan, the head of Egypt’s State Information Service and unofficial spokesperson for the presidency, described relations with Tel Aviv as the greatest prize in the history of the Israeli state. This might be an accurate description of the treaty between the two countries, which removed the largest Arab state from the Arab-Israeli conflict and gradually became a sacred idol in Egyptian strategy. Since the presidency of Anwar Sadat, Egyptian regimes have internalised the idea that their importance to the American empire lies in maintaining relations with Israel. This idea has deepened under the Sisi regime, which has benefited from this arrangement since day one and continues to do so.

Rosa Luxemburg: The Political Mass Strike
The mass strike is not something that one can make whenever the parliamentary tricksters’ policy breaks down. A mass strike brought about under such circumstances is a lost cause from the outset. The political tricksters who believe that they can conjure up a mass strike and then terminate it with a wave of the hand are in error. This cannot be done. Mass strikes can only take place when the historical preconditions for them are at hand. They cannot be made on command. Mass strikes are not an artificial method that can be applied whenever the party has bungled its politics, in order to extricate us overnight from the morass. When the class conflicts have become so pronounced and the political situation so tense that parliamentary means are no longer sufficient to advance the cause of the proletariat, then the mass strike is urgently necessary, and then, although it may not bring unconditional victory, it is immensely useful to the cause of the proletariat. Only when the situation has become so extreme that there is no more hope for co-operation with the bourgeois parties, especially with the liberals, does the proletariat obtain the impetus necessary for the success of the mass strike. Accordingly, the mass strike is not reconcilable with a policy centred around parliamentarism.

You larping faggots really ought to separate communism from self-applied labels. Jadue is a fucking retard who signed a bunch of contracts and then didn't carry out his end of the deal for whatever reason, and the obvious happened. Let's not forget this asshole also shat on multiple union leaders, as expected from an opportunist.

I hold no sympathy for reformists, much less fucking politicians, and especially not the ones obfuscating what communism is when they're virtually indistinguishable from ghouls like Bachelet, and neither should you if you are such "communists".
