But pretending it's canon, humanity just moved from one oppressive aristocracy to another. They simply got lucky the psychic mutant aristocracy didn't also want to wipe out the humans.

your thoughts on Brezhnev?
>>2569216> Shelepin, the Komsomol ideologue, deeply resented Brezhnev’s disregard for ideological matters. He told Gorbachev’s assistant Valery Voldin the following:>“Theoretically, Brezhnev was poorly educated. Apparently, he hadn’t read Lenin. I became convinced of this, for example, when I worked in Zavidovo. He invited me there while we were preparing the report for the 24th Party Congress. I was astonished — he didn’t know even the most basic works of Lenin. And he didn’t read literature either. Apart from Krokodil magazine, he read nothing at all. I became convinced that Brezhnev never had any ideas, suggestions, or thoughts of his own — I can’t recall a single one. The only thing he would say was, ‘Maybe we could replace this word with another.’ That was the extent of his role in preparing the report for the Congress…”
>Leonid Zamyatin, a ‘hardline’ Soviet diplomat and ambassador to the UK, agreed with this assessment of the relationship between the two:>Shelepin saw him that way too. Brezhnev was at best a regional-level functionary, not the head of a vast state — primitive, incapable of stringing two or three thoughts together, with no theoretical knowledge whatsoever. All his speeches were written for him…https://eventsinukraine.substack.com/p/ukrainian-provincialism-against-the Trump really is a fascist. I’m genuinely surprised people are still doing this thing where they claim he’s really something else. How mask off does fascism in the U.S. have to get?
>>2568272HR is one of the purest representations of labor aristocracy
>>2568340You just confirmed what he said
>>2569241Public death squads gunning down Haitians and Guatemalans in the street, the problem is fascism is either such a high bar that you need war crimes in the open like the Nazis did to be it undeniably,
OR The bar is so low that the United States was always fascist and Trump is no more fascist than it has always been, so who cares?
As a radlib you should take the accelerationist position and pray that Trump will start publicly executing people soon. Otherwise no one will listen. Sorry bud.

>>2569457if you want a real answer the pact fucked over Japan diplomatically and militarily and ended up getting nothing out of their relationship with germany because of it
>>2568593somewhat of a trvke except some parts about cambodia. i agree that the chomsky hate for "justifying" it is entirely artificial and he never denied any atrocities occuring
also badempanada forgor to mention that the MASSIVE english/international media's coverage on atrocity in cambodia was occuring precisely at the same time as nearly non-existent english coverage on the indonesian occupation/genocide of east timor, this having to do with the indonesian vehemently anti-communist
new order suharto government being directly supported by the us/cia and having a mass purge of communists and suspected communist sympathizers in 1965–66
I was thinking about those stories of those American liberal professors who were experts on fascism fleeing to Canada because of Trump's authoritarianism earlier this year that were promoted by a bunch of liberal media outlets. The concerns about Trump's authoritarianism and crackdown on academic freedom are very legit, but that's isn't what I was thinking about; I just find it really amusing they chose Canada, the country that's by far the most dependent on America (besides Israel) to migrate to. These mfs could've chosen to migrate to Europe instead; they're still cucked and subservient to the US, but at least they have more potential to actually be an independent force for good if European lefties actually get their shit together and push for more meaningful resistance towards American power should they ever gain more power, not to mention European countries generally have much better welfare states than Canada does, let alone the US. The idea of Canada being a good refuge for American dissidents nowadays is kinda laughable to me given how it's just far too dependent on the US, no matter how much Canadians may tell themselves otherwise.
Canada couldn't even prevent India from assassinating one of their citizens on Canadian soil, and the CIA did MKUltra experiments in fucking Montreal - not even Quebec is safe. Even at their most incompetent, the US could easily assassinate American dissidents if they REALLY wanted to, and Canada wouldn't be able to do shit about it. And realistically, if the US were to seriously collapse, Canada would absolutely be dragged down with the US, getting seriously damaged from the fallout and spillover of the chaos that ensues.
Either way, I just find it silly, if not frustrating that these libs who can afford to immigrate will act as barriers to meaningful policies advanced by leftists like universal healthcare and other social programs only to go "Yeah we're gonna flee to other countries with universal healthcare and welfare programs despite having worked to prevent America from having this stuff in the first placd due to not wanting to make the sacrifice of paying more taxes; krange man is actually fascist now and you burgers absolutely brought this on yourselves by voting for Trump and not Kamala (as if Americans didn't vote for Trump because they saw him as more genuine on economic issues, while Kamala and the Dems ran a dogshit campaign with no substance on economic issues and wholeheartedly kept supporting the genocide in Gaza), have fun rotting in the mess we helped make/prevent from getting better" while they leave us to rot and we have to fix this mess. Just miss me with that bullshit.

>>2569673istg with Trump and rightoids, one moment they'll go "oh Zohran is a commie, we'll withhold federal funds from NYC if he wins" to "Oh, we had a pleasant time with Zohran, we love him, we'd be happy to work with him". I know it's obviously insincere bullshit, but it's so blatant geez
Also I thought leftypols hated Zohran for preemptively selling out to the Democrats.
>>2569684i welcome you to this thread
>>2547919 also nowhere did anyone itt state that there was no mass killing or atrocity in democratic kampuchea
>>2569688>in democratic kampuchea1970 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.
>>2569693trve except
>suffers the brunt of the food shortagethe food shortage was the prime reason for april 17 city depopulation and the KR policy avoided a much, much worse fate

>>2568782I 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.
William Brooke Joyce (24 April 1906 – 3 January 1946), nicknamed Lord Haw-Haw, was an American-born fascist and Nazi propaganda broadcaster during the Second World War. After moving from New York to Ireland and subsequently to England, Joyce became a member of Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists (BUF) from 1932, before finally moving to Germany at the outset of the war where he took Nazi German citizenship in 1940.[2
Joyce recorded his final broadcast on 30 April 1945, during the Battle of Berlin.[3
https://www.earthstation1.com/WWIIAudio/Germany/HawHaw'sLastBroadcast.mp3Interesting to hear
>>2569649>I was thinking about those stories of those American liberal professors who were experts on fascism fleeing to CanadaThat shit was gay and I'm not even sure who those professors were other than Timothy Snyder (lol, nuff said), and I've read some books about fascism written by professors who made that their whole focus. Not these people.
Now I'm looking up the other ones. There was Jason Stanley whose background is in philosophy of language who wrote a book called "How Fascism Works" which seems more like a longer op-ed. The third and final one was Marci Shore who's married to Snyder (lmao!!!) who wrote a book about Polish-Jewish writers drawn to Marxism. None of these people are "fleeing" anything.
>>2570048Did he ever do anything significant?
>>2570048>having to groom himselfdamn, i guess it's been over for him for a while now?
How are Anarchists coping with the revelations from the newest Epstein emails that Noam Chomsky was very close with Epstein? I haven't seen it mentioned much.
>>2570089Anarchists tend to heavily discourage and critique idolisation, especially chomsky of all people, so most don't feel the need to 'cope'.
>>2567758This doesn't excuse him being a billionaire capitalist shithead, but I honestly do feel like a lot of Elon Musk's weird, embarrassing behavior ends up being explained by him having Asperger's, as someone with Asperger's themselves (also, don't use this as an excuse to be shit to neurodivergent people in general). Yes, neurotypical billionaires are also weirdos no one likes, but I find it fascinating now seeing what an autistic billionaire would be like when they have the power and shittiness that comes with being a billionaire lol. It explains shit like:
-Elon's awkwardness in interviews
-his Twitter crashouts - autistic people tend to have issues regulating their emotions
-Trump administration officials privately saying they hate him personally because he constantly goes on talking about things he finds interesting but they don't care about
I would've also pointed out him being desperate for approval but honestly that isn't limited to neurodivergent people - billionaires in general are lowkey desperate for approval.
>>2569457>nuked poland, an nation that was mostly antagonistic with the USSR, even toke territory back lost in the civil war.>send threw the focus of the nazis against western europe, nations that for years prior let nazis rearm and encroach against the east>fucked any plan japan had of invading them by showing that if they did invade they would have to fight the USSR alone + the chinese, no possibility of two fronts in the near future.>fucked germans, brits and french, their enemies by making them spent people and morale while being unscathed.>used the time rebuild their infrastructure and reorganize the army for a more advantagable places to be more effective at fighting a war.>ended up putting the germans in a position where they had to over extend by policing ocupied western territory, handle a two front guerrilla war in africa and brittain while fighting the USSR.what where the actual drawbacks to this ?, muh optics that some Agent Kochinskiiggers bemoan ?.
>>2570108Honestly he'd be a dork even if he weren't autistic
>>2570110Material explanation?
>>2570117you see he was supposed to instantly declare war on germany and launch a war which he would lose.
>>2570091Lies. They never shut up about the bread book.
>>2570110this shit is so funny, why did Elon add this feature? it makes the astroturfing on Xitter even more obvious, which hurts his cause
I guess he's just a dumbass
>>2570110The funny thing is that the obvious excuse, which geolocation is reflecting a VPN, doesn't even work here.
Because it brings attention to the Israeli VPN and tech industry plants.
