>>2266021He backpedaled hard last thread, going from outright glowposting to claiming that we need to organize peacefully first before firebombed Congress. I guess the mods finally got to him.
Picrel was the average Felixpost, saying that what the left is missing is "a self-sacrificing vanguard of professional revolutionaries willing to actually, physically fight the state" and generally showing a contempt for purely peaceful organizing.
>>2266046Remember when Lenin ordered the Bolsheviks to shoot the tsar's entire family?
If you fucking idiots seriously think that you can build communism peacefully then you're even stupider than I thought.

>>2266063That's not the point of the screenshot, it's to dispel the idea (which people itt have been spamming) that Felix's posts are anything close to Ghandi's pacifism.
Felix has always made it clear that he places violent resistance front and center, and that his goal is getting depressed retail workers to bomb people. Claiming Felix is a pacifist, and mocking the idea that he wanted people to immediately go out and bomb congress, is disingenuous.
>>2266074The goal should always be laying the foundation for armed struggle. All political actions can and must serve a revolutionary goal.
Shit like this is why you nerds are all impotent. This is basic 101 level stuff. Read a fucking book that wasn't written by Marvel.
>>2266011People should analyze the way their environment works and use tactics specifically designed to work in their immediate context and that the members of whatever organization are capable and willing to do.
Everything else is pure fantasy and no different from imagining yourself playing an epic guitar song in front of your crush in an unspecified high school ceremony.
>>2266097I'm aware
>he intentionally tried to provoke a violent response from the state in order to use it as fodder for organizing. He instructed his followers to not fight backI used pacifist as shorthand for not fighting back because I didn't feel like typing out "hold your toddler up to the police batons so everyone gets mad at the cops"

>I'm not felixplease, "nerds," "dorks" "you people would X" these are all felixposting signatures
>>2266097This is objectively wrong, Ghandi's protest was largely a form of economic sabotage, where the non-cooperation of Indians made the British occupation of India into a money pit which they eventually cut off.
While provoking a violent response was part of his purpose, this was never meant to be used as justification for reciprocal violence by the protesters.

>>2266140He reads Nechayev's catechism every morning. He has no time for earthly attachments.
>1. The revolutionary is a doomed man. He has no personal interests, no business affairs, no emotions, no attachments, no property, and no name. Everything in him is wholly absorbed in the single thought and the single passion for revolution.<2. The revolutionary knows that in the very depths of his being, not only in words but also in deeds, he has broken all the bonds which tie him to the social order and the civilized world with all its laws, moralities, and customs, and with all its generally accepted conventions. He is their implacable enemy, and if he continues to live with them it is only in order to destroy them more speedily.>3. The revolutionary despises all doctrines and refuses to accept the mundane sciences, leaving them for future generations. He knows only one science: the science of destruction. For this reason, but only for this reason, he will study mechanics, physics, chemistry, and perhaps medicine. But all day and all night he studies the vital science of human beings, their characteristics and circumstances, and all the phenomena of the present social order. The object is perpetually the same: the surest and quickest way of destroying the whole filthy order.<4. The revolutionary despises public opinion. He despises and hates the existing social morality in all its manifestations. For him, morality is everything which contributes to the triumph of the revolution. Immoral and criminal is everything that stands in its way.>5. The revolutionary is a dedicated man, merciless toward the State and toward the educated classes; and he can expect no mercy from them. Between him and them there exists, declared or concealed, a relentless and irreconcilable war to the death. He must accustom himself to torture.<6. Tyrannical toward himself, he must be tyrannical toward others. All the gentle and enervating sentiments of kinship, love, friendship, gratitude, and even honor, must be suppressed in him and give place to the cold and single-minded passion for revolution. For him, there exists only one pleasure, one consolation, one reward, one satisfaction – the success of the revolution. Night and day he must have but one thought, one aim – merciless destruction. Striving cold-bloodedly and indefatigably toward this end, he must be prepared to destroy himself and to destroy with his own hands everything that stands in the path of the revolution.>7. The nature of the true revolutionary excludes all sentimentality, romanticism, infatuation, and exaltation. All private hatred and revenge must also be excluded. Revolutionary passion, practiced at every moment of the day until it becomes a habit, is to be employed with cold calculation. At all times, and in all places, the revolutionary must obey not his personal impulses, but only those which serve the cause of the revolution.

>>2266147no he deserved to be shot, which incidentally he was, in a stupid duel he got himself into. calling him JN in a private letter does nothing but make people confused about marx. also you missed the entire point of why I used that as an example because I was saying that bringing "X historical figure was racist though" when talking about their tactics/strategies/theories is stupid
>>2266146meh. someone posted a real copy of the letter in the museum on here once, but in typical marx handwriting fashion, it was unreadable.
>>2266173NTA but…
http://hiaw.org/defcon6/works/1862/letters/62_07_30a.html>A Note from History Is A Weapon: It has come to our attention that this page is very popular with right-wingers who delight in Marx and Engel's use of racial slurs to discredit Marxist thought. Unfortunately, Marx and Engels were Europeans of the nineteenth century and in that period of time, racism was commonplace and permeated the political, scientific, religious, literary, and social spheres. Marx contained multitudes: there are other letters from Marx that, for example, congratulate Abraham Lincoln on his re-election as "the triumphant war cry of your re-election is Death to Slavery." This isn't an excuse for Marx or Engels' racism, but a challenge to all of us: for the left, we must create a revolutionary marxism that demands a totalizing liberation of all from any and all oppressors in the same way that capitalism steels itself in racism, heterosexism, colonialism, and patriarchy; for the right, maybe don't limit yourself to a cynical ctrl-F for the N word and dismiss all marxist thought as racist because Marx and Engels had flaws. It's also in MECW volume 41
>>2266174>Lasalle pretty much suggested to Marx in a letter that he should prostitute his own daughter in order to make up for his losses at the stock marketyeah dude, i'm fully aware. the entire context of this conversation was someone going "don't you know gandhi racist?" and i brought up the marx thing as an analogy for why that's irrelevant when discussing the merit or lack thereof in Gandhi's political tactics (just as it's irrelevant when assessing Marx's economic works), and then some people seem to have thought I was attacking marx because they didn't see the context of the conversation
>I think calling him a Jewish nigger was an understandable reactionIt was irrelevant to why Marx was angry with Lassalle, and it's irrelevant when Marx-haters bring it up to attack Marx. That's my point
>Plus I doubt Marx, Engels and all other theorists thought their private correspondence would become part of their official canon.that's my point as well
>. I suggest any would be revolutionary of today to delete all their questionable tweets and Discord DMs lest they become seriously studied and debated in the future.they have it in the database even after you delete it. it's all out there. maybe it shouldn't be about individuals and their random choices and staggered development but about the tactics and strategy of the class movement.
PS: The "lassalle suggesting marx prostitute his own daughter" interpretation is neither something marx explicitly says, it's an interpretation of his letter. marx quotes lassalle as suggesting that marx should let his daughter become a companion to "von hatzfeldt" but "von hatzfeldt" probably refers to sophie von hatzfeldt, a widower, lassalle's partner, and a aristocratic class traitor (much like marx's wife) and patron of the 1st international… so unless sophie von hatzfeldt was a bisexual pedophile, which is possible, it is likely lassalle was suggesting marx's daughter hang out with his rich girlfriend. crude, but not necessarily a suggestion at prostitution. marx may very well have interpreted it that way and gotten angry. nobody really knows.
>>2265705You're right that a Mexican communist revolution was and still is far from materializing but it's not some "ultra fantasy" to claim that MORENA effectively channeled the growing discontent with the PRIAN governments's into pussy ass electoralism, incorporated many radicals and activists into its files just to turn them into vile cheerleaders of the State and now hold hostage many labor reforms such as the 40 hour work week just so people vote for them in the next elections.
>meawhile the mexican communist party is trying to seizing the chance to build an electoral alternativeThe Mexican "communist" party are complete sellouts who supported the Tlatelolco massacre of '68 and cucked out to Stalinoids on every line, nowadays they're just a den of rapist boomers and nonces with total memberships of like a couple dozen people at best. Call me when the LC23S makes a comeback or a new Jose Revueltas rises up.
>>2266202yes and read this post
>>2266205also i like how I got 2 reactions:
"it didn't happen"
"it did happen and it was the correct reactoin"
my whole point was
reactionary flaws of an individual are not necessarily relevant when assessing the merit of their theory, strategy, and tactics >>2266226omg dude the conversation was about Gandhi.
someone was talking about gandhi's tactics
someone said "GANDHI WAS RACIST THOUGH"
and then I said "marx said something not very nice in a letter" as an example of why it's
irrelevant when assessing their tactics. it's not "debateable" either and my goal wasn't to debate it. but since you insist on being a denialist about this stupid fucking letter which my whole point in the first place is that people bring it up to dismiss marx even though that's not why people read marx in the first place…..
someone else posted the source of the claim in the Marx Engel's Collected Works. MECW. volume 41.
>>2266189What is the MECW? Who compiled it?
>The Collected Works, for the most part compiled by the Institute of Marxism-Leninism of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, was issued from 1975 to 2004 by Progress Publishers (1931, Moscow) in collaboration with Lawrence and Wishart (1936, London) and International Publishers (1924, New York City).So not exactly anti-communists. So unless you think some forged letter made it into the hands of the soviets idk what to tell you.
My whole point is that it doesn't matter if Marx/Engels said things that to modern ears sound "racist" no marxist reads them because they're excited to hear 19th century opinions about race. People read Marx for the class struggle. For the revolutionary ideas. Not the occasional "of its time" things that pop out in private letters. You've dedicated yourself to denying this letter and making the conversation about the letter but the conversation was about fucking Gandhi. God damn.

>>2266241i never even called him racist.
>makes him lookto you maybe
> he simply angrily said some edgy slurs.my entire point is that it's irrelevant whether or not it's racist and you keep thinking I'm saying the opposite. are you illiterate?
Let me give you another example. Stalin and Castro were homophobic. But that's irrelevant to why most communists study them. Most communists don't study them for that reason. Most communist study them because they're revolutionaries who won. See what I mean?
>>2266247>i never even called him racistNot overtly, but is implied

What so many modern leftists want is not success or victory or an actual revolution. They want you to make a martyr of yourself so they can celebrate that martyrdom. It's really that simple. Anyone who is doing anything is going to be held up to the standard of a martyr. If you are not willing to die and fail at your mission but die doing it on the left in the U.S., then you are not going to meet the level of purity required to achieve the clout. You're going to have people who are like, well, why aren't you doing X, Y, and Z? Why aren't you fucking going and suicide bombing yourself right now? And those people are basically feds to me. Anyone who's pushing that shit is a fed. They're doing the feds' work. They're setting up the group cohesion. They're encouraging people to entrap themselves. They're fucking weird wreckers that make having actual discussions difficult. I mean, like, honestly, we know what this dude's face looks like. We know what he looks like. He looks like a weird motherfucker, and he's constantly in these threads talking about, hey, you need to go do a crime. You need to incriminate yourself. To me, that type of person should be banned. I mean, this person should not be allowed to post here. This is a fucking federal agent, like, very obviously. Like, yes, I do believe that armed struggle is what a revolution is. I do believe that, but I'm not going to tell you, hey, go get in a firefight with the police today because I'm not a fucking idiot, I'm not a fucking going to, like, tell you to incriminate yourself. If the mods had any common sense, this Iron Felix cat would be banned as fuck from this website. And if the left had any power, he'd have his fucking teeth kicked in for being a fucking fed.
>>2266253>Not overtly, but is impliedI implied nothing and explicitly stated over and over it's irrelevant WHETHER OR NOT he is because that's not why we study him
>I understand your point. But you used a bad example.it's a well sourced example (MECW volume 41) and not bad at all unless you're addicted to missing my point
>>2266252Slight exaggeration.
>SAINTI would never. Everything else is on point.
>>2266271>the only way forward is to do the IRA/ANC strategy in a place where it cannot work and will never work I feel like this is just nonsense there's literally no proof that it doesn't work except the words of people who would've said the same if they lived in South Africa in the 1980's.
I don't agree with Felix that martyrdom is the only path forward but the emphatic rejection of any and all forms of armed resistance in the American heartland just comes off as cowardly excuses from people that grew up pampered in the "safe" arms of the imperial core. We should look into armed resistance more seriously and without that kind of defeatism. Not because every Leftist needs to become Luigi, but because it's just one arm of the necessary multi-layered tactics any successful Leftist movement needs. The DSA, ACP, and all those other meme orgs would be stronger and their activities taken more seriously by the masses with a paramilitary element behind them. The unwillingness of these groups to "piss off the feds" by incorporating military training into their recruitment process is why they're seen as useless reformists.
>>2266262Oh yeah, I completely forgot about his phrenology obsession
>Marx endeavoured to make sure of his men and to secure them for himself. He was not such a zealous devotee of phrenology as Gustav Struve, but he believed in it to some extent, and when I first met him – I have already mentioned it – he not only examined me with questions, but also with his fingers, making them dance over my skull in a connoisseur’s style. Later on he arranged for a regular investigation by the phrenologist of the party, the good old painter, Karl Pfaenderhttps://www.marxists.org/archive/liebknecht-w/1896/karl-marx.htmLook. He had a slight stint into anthropology and dabbled a little into phrenology. Later Marx got wheened off thanks to Engles, and a lot of what he says probably shouldn’t be taken at face value.
>>2266262>phrenology obsession if marx actuallt put stock in phrenology, let alone was "obsessed" with it, we would have waaaay more writings and notes from marx about his studies of race science. we do not. instead we have extensive accounts of marx studying very seriously the history & culture of various parts of the world, see attached. marxs apologism for european imperialism as progressive was abandoned throughout his life as he learned about the reality of it, see kevin b andersons marx at the margins. marx clearly supported liberation of black americans from slavery and the full granting of political rights, see the civil war in america
every point of evidence points to it being just private banter in bad taste between marx & his best friend, and "bad taste" is even a stretch bc it was a private comment, just as its a stretch to call your comments "a reach" bc its pure cope & seethe
>>2266185I get tired with the radlib/m3w when they pull that noble savage racism (no, libmod, I'm not calling minorities savages) and declare all black/hispanic/native people as revolutionary communists because they're poorer on average. You only develop this mindset if you never speak to any of these groups of people, which most of them haven't.
They always put up some bullshit shield too like "have YOU spoken to the Bhutanese hmmm" as if they have. I remember a thread by a self-professed third-worlder talking about how everyone just wants to be more like America, because they're richer. It's the same sentiment shown in that pew poll in Vietnam.
I understand it though, they need to cling onto the hope that some other ethnicity will fight the revolution for them because they don't see any other way. That one guy responding to you with nothing but saying NUH UH is an example of that idealic desperation.
>>2266303>marxs apologism for european imperialism as progressive was abandoned throughout his life as he learned about the reality of it, seeThat is a better defense than denying what we can read with our own eyes.
But looks like Engels never abandoned it.
>>2266317none of the people complaining about "language policing" have ever actually been arrested for something they said. for ten years we heard incessant whining "the university students are evil bolsheviks who took away muh freeze peach!!!!"
now we have actual university students getting arrested for "antisemitism" (protesting genocide). A Muslim lady got arrested by ICE for writing an article about how Israel is committing genocide. There's your actual language police. Someone who said "cool it with the slurs" whether out of sensitivity or out of a sense of strategy isn't actually pulling out a night stick, beating you senseless, and throwing you in the back of a van lmfao

>>2266355
>America murdered 5 million people at an absolute minimum during it's war on terror, everyone knew it was a lie and yet everyone involved was re-elected to second terms. If Americans aren't complicit in that, who is? Space aliens?
yeah, but you're not arguing with the point I made, I said:
<er. It is actually the imperialist leadership who wants us to believe there is a correlation between their war crimes and our standard of living. There isn't. We throw out over half our food. We are capable of producing way more than we need. There is zero reason to do all these coups, embargoes, sanctions, IMF loans, etc. our productive forces have so far outstripped our need for capitalism and imperialism that at this point it's just a handful of psychos holding onto power. There's literally zero "treats" that result from children getting bombed in Gaza. Total myth.
saying "yeah well americans BELIEVE the bourgeois lies" doesn't refute what I'm saying.
>of course the bourgeoisie keep the lion's share of the superprofits. they just make sure that commodities are cheap enough that the proletarians can enjoy some nicknacks and the system remains stable.
they're getting more expensive, and the dedollarization is rapidly speeding up
>it is by far and away the largest polluter on earth, yes.
this is true and I have often posted the clip of vijay prashad saying "America is 4-5% of the world's population and still uses 25% of the world's resources. you outsource production to china and then say china is the carbon polluter. try to produce it in your own countries and see your carbon emissions rise."
>one of my better posts.
ego status?
>>2266354seconded
>>2266309which engels? im less familiar with his specific works than marx's. and yes no one serious can deny that marxs early work is full of conditional but ignorant and at best misguided support for imperialism as a historical necessity
>>2266321i still can't get cashapp to work, what are some other ways?
also can i write for your site
>>2266373Well historically necessary means something very specific. It doesn't mean "good." For example Stalin said slavery was historically necessary to pull humans out of primitive communism:
>If there are no isolated phenomena in the world, if all phenomena are interconnected and interdependent, then it is clear that every social system and every social movement in history must be evaluated not from the standpoint of "eternal justice" or some other preconceived idea, as is not infrequently done by historians, but from the standpoint of the conditions which gave rise to that system or that social movement and with which they are connected.
>The slave system would be senseless, stupid and unnatural under modern conditions. But under the conditions of a disintegrating primitive communal system, the slave system is a quite understandable and natural phenomenon, since it represents an advance on the primitive communal systemSource:
https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1938/09.htmThis doesn't mean he's saying it's "good."

How China is quietly aiding Israel's settlement enterprise
Away from Beijing's lofty rhetoric about defending Palestinians, Chinese firms are helping to sustain illegal settlements

Four of them are such blatant supporters that on September 27, at the United Nations, Benjamin Netanyahu highlighted them in green on a map with the label "THE BLESSING": Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and India.>Beyond the obvious neighbors and India highlighted by Netanyahu, there are other “benefactors” within BRICS+ (as Netanyahu’s allies in the end times have come to call themselves) who appear in this (partial) ten-point catalog on how war and profit make unfortunate bedfellows:

In both South Africa and Brazil, top officials have openly boasted in recent weeks that they will not impose sanctions on coal and oil exports to Israel, and Brazil’s defense minister has also opposed the potential cancellation of military cooperation with Elbit Systems, based in Tel Aviv (currently “on pause”);>4.

>>2266736You don't need to contrive that example. Hitler deported Jews to Palestine in 1933 when he first took power. Nazis and Brits both supported zionism for different reasons. In general European antisemtism (the real kind) enabled early zionists to be seen as politically legitimate even before they had picked out Palestine as the settlement location (Believe it or not, since it started out as a purely secular nationalist project, doing the biblical mythology larp in Palestine wasn't always certain)
>>2266734This is literally the dumb shit Netanyahu says. He points at the grand mufti who collabed with the third reich in order to make Palestinians collectively guilty for the holocaust which is such a bullshit and revisionist thing to say.
>>2266722at this point I hear about antisemitism and I think
>sucks to suckI know it's callous, but between the cunts baiting negative responses, and the cunts crying antisemite over the people calling gaza exactly what it is, and the rest of the world also going to shit, I just don't care. doesn't help that 90% of every jew I respect decided that bibi's bloodbath was the right hill to die on and crashed out.

>>2266839easily the
least degenerated workers state in existance
I think about it like this, I saw on TikTok a single mom with two kids living in a Motel 6 just cataloging her day, cataloging what she's able to feed her children, cataloging the struggles of trying to find work, trying to avoid becoming homeless with two children living in a Motel 6.
In my mind, if your political party or political project can't offer that person something that will directly benefit or improve their material conditions in the moment, or with a sense of immediacy, even if it's not a huge improvement, even if it's not a huge change, people like that woman should be at the heart and the center of the actions you're taking.
I think about people like that every day. Because could you imagine the struggle that it must be to be that woman, to have to put food on the table for those kids in a motel? You think a motel is a good place to raise kids? To Raise children? Hell no. I was living out of a Motel 6 at one point, and there were a lot of kids running around in the parking lot, lots of junkies too. Real destitute. And that leaves you feeling a certain type of way. There are a lot of people who have been forgotten in this country and they need to be remembered.

is he right??
>US President Donald Trump takes a shot at “neocons” and “interventionists” during his foreign policy speech in Riyadh.
“It’s crucial for the wider world to know this great transformation [in the Middle East] has not come from Western interventionists, or flying people in beautiful planes giving you lectures on how to live and how to govern your own affairs,” Trump says.
“In the end, the so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built and the interventionalists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand themselves,” he continues.
“No, the gleaming marvels of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so-called ‘nation builders,’ neocons, or liberal non-profits, like those who spent trillions and trillions of dollars failing to develop Baghdad and so many other cities,” Trump says.
“Instead, the birth of a modern Middle East has been brought by the people of the region themselves — the people that are right here, the people [who] have lived here all their lives, developing your own sovereign countries, pursuing your own unique visions and charting your own destinies in your own way.”
“You achieved a modern miracle the Arabian way,” he adds.
>>2267173>the saudis refused to re-sign the petrodollar agreement that expired last year.That's a meme.
>with the american security guarantees also gone there's no real special connection between the saudis and americans anymoreYou guys are out of your minds watching this kayfabe. Saudi Arabia WANTS a defense treaty with the U.S. ratified by the U.S. Senate that would put the U.S. on the hook for defending Saudi Arabia if it's attacked (but not the other way around).
>>2267184He is seeing the greater picture. The Arabian peninsula is the future, central to the Belt and Road Project as well. Nobody cares about that shithole Israel which does nothing except draining money and weapons from the West, being a PR disaster and generally being crazy. They'll soon be dropped like Apartheid South Africa, being too much of an annoyance.
Of course, the main focus is still directed against China. Maybe Trump is more competent than what we gave him credit for.
>>2267162lmao are you retarded? He's reading a fucking teleprompter. He doesn't know what he's saying.
It's just nonsense. Stop being fooled by dangling keys.
>>2267195No one but its just an interesting hypothetical dude.
lts like wondering if the giants could have won a superbowl if they went for the 40 yard feel goal instead of running the ball on 4th down.
Weather the answer is yes or no to that the broader system of genocidal capitalist repression and empire remains the same; but it can still be fun to shoot the shit over even though it doesn't really matter.
>>2267205>there always was a deal … now they came back and didn't re-up the agreementNo, there was no deal, and they didn't re-up any agreement to sell oil exclusively in dollars because there wasn't one, they sell oil (mostly) in dollars because they get a better deal on the exchange rate. This is just a story people are telling themselves.
>publicly said they wouldn't maintain the deal No they didn't.
>>2267206Probably true to but l doubt the dems would be willing to open the primary up to actualy democracy even if Joe did step down early.
lf they were gona run the same people no matter what with the same policies all you can really do is attempt to take the best opportunity you can to capitalize on the enthusiasm boost.
>>2267209>publicly said they wouldn't maintain the deal There were initial reports of this on June 13th of last year but many media sites were quick to quash it on the basis of it not being official. but why does something need to be officially legall for it to be possible. in any case, the deal is dead the saudis recently joined project mbridge which is a dollar-free and sanctions-proof economic framework for trade settlements
>Despite uncertainties about a specific petrodollar agreement, the system is real and crucial for maintaining the dollar's international currency status. In the mid-1970s, after the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, the dollar was no longer convertible to gold and began depreciating. The U.S. forged strategic agreements with Saudi Arabia and other OPEC countries to stabilize the dollar and maintain its global dominance. These agreements didn't explicitly mandate using dollars for oil transactions but created a system where oil-exporting nations could price oil in dollars, invest surplus dollars in U.S. Treasury bonds, and buy U.S. goods and services. In return, the U.S. provided military protection and market access, making the dollar the default currency for oil transactions and solidifying its role as the world's reserve currency. This arrangement benefitted both the U.S. and oil-exporting countries by creating stable dollar demand and providing reliable investment tools for oil revenue. As a result, the dollar became somehow "linked" to oil. In the 1980s, with the introduction of oil futures products, the petrodollar gained more financial attributes, expanding into bonds, funds, derivatives, and official reserve assets, thus becoming more integrated with global financial markets. The petrodollar system helped the U.S. secure oil resources and established its dominance in the global energy and currency systems, contributing to dollar hegemony and significantly influencing global political and economic dynamics. >>2267261right, they just picked 3 random "maga media stars criticizing trump" and it just so happened that all 3 of them are israel first zios

>>2266712>Biden got in and didn't do a great job of repairing relations with anyoneThat's why I said an Obama. Not another one foot in the grave sleepy Joe. Yet still the Euros were falling over themselves to be like "the US is back! Democracy and order have returned." They were all very unified on all the Ukrai e shit and whatever. I mean shit, all the oldheads in the EU will have known Joe from when he wasn't so sleepy.
I don't think the Euroids really want to jump shit to China. That would be retarded. They have to know the end of American hegemony means the end of Western hegemony. They aren't get the free lunch and chance to dick around anymore under Chinese and BRICS hegemony.

It's unironically over for the Democratic Party.Yeah the last 5 years have been crazy how they think pivoting to thr old is the move. They put in Jeffries, I think they will get rid of schumer as leader before 28.
By all appearances they are gonna pick Kam again. I think she might win. I think people were to hard on her and also they did a poor job introducing her to the public.
But yeah, I don't think she will really be the next Obama either. Not near as good a speaker, especially in interviews.

>>2267339>The relatively high standards of life and wages enjoyed by White workers represent, in reality, a share in the super profits made by the capitalists out of the gross exploitation of the non-Whites. Systematically indoctrinated with the creed of White superiority, the White worker imagines himself to be a part of the ruling class and willingly acts as a tool and an accomplice in the maintenance of colonialism and capitalism. However, in reality, the White worker, like the non-White worker at his side, is subjected to exploitation by the same capitalist owners of the means of production. White workers’ wages in general are high in comparison with those of non-Whites. But many categories of White workers are paid little more than non-Whites, and also struggle to support their families. The White worker is subject to the insecurity of the capitalist system, with its constant threats of depression, short-time and unemployment. The division of trade unions on racial lines weakens all sections of workers in their constant struggle with the bosses for better pay and conditions and shorter hours of work. The fundamental interests of all South African workers, like those of workers everywhere, lie in unity: unity in the struggle for the day-to-day interests of the working class, for the ending of race-discrimination and division, for a free, democratic South Africa as the only possible basis for the winning of socialism, the overthrow of the capitalist class and the ending of human exploitation.-The Road to South African Freedom, 1962The ANC/SACP has never been racist, and the EFF springs from that movement. The EFF has white members and has literally run candidates named De Beer.
here's what a political-security cabinet member of israels ruling party, likud, has to say about Trump on a radio interview he did today:
>“We’re dealing with a president who wakes up in the morning with plan A, shifts to B by evening, then moves to C, and ultimately implements D,” Amsalem said. “It’s causing global confusion on every front. When you’re the leader of the free world, there has to be a way—a method, consistency.”
>Amsalem welcomed the release of the kidnapped soldier on Monday but voiced strong dissatisfaction with how the deal was reached: “The manner in which this was ‘signed’ is certainly improper, to say the least. I expect the American administration to coordinate such matters with the Israeli government.”
>Commenting on the US agreement to halt attacks in Yemen, Amsalem said: “Trump has generally acted in support of the State of Israel, but it turns out he is unpredictable—waking up every morning with a different stance. This is a serious issue; it breaks all the longstanding norms that have governed US-Israel relations.”Speaking in the Knesset on Monday, Amsalem declared: “I’ve come to the conclusion that the State of Israel must finally recognize—none of our friends will fight on our behalf. No matter what we do, they won’t. Even our closest allies will ultimately prioritize their own interests. A strong Israel serves American, Saudi, and Jordanian interests. Without us, I’m not sure what would have become of those regimes.”https://www.jewishpress.com/news/israel/likud-confronts-trumps-unpredictability-as-netanyahu-promotes-doing-without-us-aid/2025/05/13/>>2267357Sure is good that you nerds all react like vampires at dawn to me suggesting that a movement like that needs to be built.
Very good, definitely won't backfire on us at all.
>>2267441And you see the Nazis wanted to take large swaths of Ukrainian agricultural land for themselves, put Jews into confined ghettos and then shoot them
>Hey that sounds a lot like what happens in Gaz-Take that anti-semite away.
>>2267455When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another such that death results, we call the deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call his deed murder. But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, […] knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual; disguised, malicious murder, murder against which none can defend himself, which does not seem what it is, because no man sees the murderer, because the death of the victim seems a natural one, since the offence is more one of omission than of commission. But murder it remains.
>>2267325Harris will never shed the stink of Gaza.
>Vice President Harris, what do you have to say to those who blame the Biden administration for Israel's genocide of Gaza? Why didn't you stop it?>No commentThe fact she went the entire 2024 campaign without having to answer this question is actually the media being soft on her. Dem voters won't be though.
>>2267228Actually a good point,
wonder how the courts would have ruled on that??
l suppose Maga would have screamed

That might be why they actually didn't go this route.

>>2267448Not surprising at all. The republicans have a dedicated cult of idiots at their disposal who are easy to please along with bourgeois constituents and a few reactionary contrarians (and even then they still have lower numbers than in 2016).
By contrast, the democrats don’t really appeal to anyone besides a small group of bourgeois constituents and a small, annoying group of rabid neoliberals who still it’s the 90s. They have pleased few, and displeased many.
>>2267523There’s no such thing as a unserious comment in the irony poisoned hell known as the internet.
