>Former President of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte has been charged with three counts of crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court (ICC), which alleges that he played a role in the murders of at least 76 people during his so-called “war on drugs”.
>The charges against the 80-year-old, who has been held in a detention facility in the Netherlands since March, are set out in a document that was published by the ICC on Monday.
>>2494957Rest in piss
>>2495063There are some people who seem to genuinely belive that
>>2495119Ah yes the totally not CIA war on drugs against the real and authentic dealers who are absolutely not journalists, working class organizers and other political opponents
>>2495122China literally threw him to the Hague by refusing asylum, don't you think you should follow your master Xi instead of supporting the Americano Trotskyist war on drugs
>>2495067>Leaders of any country (don't care which country it is) should never be punished for cracking down on drug dealers. You massive retard. You legitimately have to be the only person in the world who brought the propaganda lines about stopping drugs at face value.
Gratz. How did you find this site though? Does your carer know?
>>2495144No she didn't you fucking retard Marcos is trying currently impeach her as well.
>>2495134China says Duterte never requested asylum you are repeating LITERAL fake news made by Marcos and his friends.
>>2495110I really hope sarko see the inside of a cell, but Im not holding my breath
>>2495067fuck you retard, just cause the ICC is an imperialist tool doesnt mean we shouldnt cheer on a reactionary fucker getting shafted
>>2495652The Nazis appropriated a bunch of faux Hindu mysticism in creating the concept of the "Aryan race" (similar to how modern fascism appropriates "Nordic" and other mysticisms). They think they're Aryan because the term literally comes from India.
>>2495725It's more accurate to say that "anti-imperialism" that supports or ignores the imperialism of other states isn't anti-imperialism at all.
>>2495750It's not "sectarian strawmanning" to make an observation of what the ideologically consistent position of a certain tendency would be. Was Lenin engaging in "sectarian strawmanning" when he made similar observations of the false "anti-imperialists" in the Second International?
>>2495643not surprising
the brits would never hold India for 200 years without the implicit or explicit approval of many Indians in the upper classes (maharajah, nawabs, merchants etc)

Read WEB DuBois
>>2496121This is one of those unfortunate documents that reminds us that for all his brilliance at certain times, particularly in writing
Black Reconstruction, DuBois was a kautskyite revisionist (albeit one more favorable towards Soviet socialism) and fell short in his analysis of imperialism (oftentimes falling into what Lenin called "international-chauvinism"). The contradiction between Japan and the US was an inter-imperialist one. In this way, Japan could be characterized as being against US imperialism, but only insofar as it was in conflict with their imperial ambitions. Japan couldn't care less what the US did in Haiti or Puerto Rico, for example.
The way DuBois frames Japan as a flawed but overall progressive force in Asia, particularly framing its invasion of China as a protective act of defiance against European imperialism, is frankly shameful. I'm saying this as someone who genuinely respects a lot of his work and wrote many a defense of him as an undergrad student of Black studies. Today's false, international-chauvinistic "anti-imperialism" that dominates in the big revisionist "Communist" parties, both East and West, is a direct echo of works like these.
>>2495899>"because they replaced Islamic rule" is a common reason why some Indians think thatOne of his reasons he said i distinctly remember was that 'they built trains!'.
I was just to young to respond, 'yes for resource extraction', sadly. but it wouldn't have made a difference to his mind anyway.
>>2496762nah thats just how DuBois writes
this is how he introduced john brown in his biography:
"Of all inspiration which America owes to Africa, however, the greatest by far is the score of heroic, men whom the sorrows of these dark children called to unselfish devotion and heroic self-realization: Benezet, Garrison and Harriet Stowe; Sumner, Douglass and Lincoln—these and others, but above all, John Brown.
John Brown was a stalwart, rough-hewn man, mightily yet tenderly carven. To his making went the stern justice of a Cromwellian “Ironside,” the freedom-loving fire of a Welsh Celt, and the thrift of a Dutch housewife. And these very things it was—thrift, freedom, and justice—that early crossed the unknown seas to find asylum in America. Yet they came late, for before they came greed, and greed brought black slaves from Africa."
