You can spend your entire life investing, accumulating capital, being brilliant at it, and still not have a single clue what capitalism is as a system of social organization.

You know what I think? I think it is time countries of the region and the world announce to the US they are removing the siege from Cuba by hook or by crook, through assertive action or direct war, whatever the US chooses.
Assemble a multinational fleet and go to Cuba. Mexico and Brazil should participate with their marine forces, and any other country in America that has Cuba at heart.
Take the US to the test. If it wants to genocide Cuba, it will have to fight a rel war against a real military force. And ask Iran, China and Russia for help.
I am betting the US will fold.
People and nations need to step up and do more to free people from the suffocating grip of the US. Start sending them home from everywhere. Enough!

Iran is engaged in the most justified war I've ever seen in my life.
Furkan Gözükara@FurkanGozukara
BOMBSHELL: Iran offered to give away ALL of its enriched uranium during peace talks in Geneva. The British thought it was a credible offer. Hours later, Trump started bombing Iran anyway. The US didn't want peace, they wanted war.

🥀 The death toll in Lebanon from Israeli attacks has now crossed 1,000.
In the past 24 hours alone, 33 people were killed.
Since March 2:
• 1,001 killed
• 2,584 injured
• 40 healthcare workers among the dead
Among those killed:
Manal Mahdi Samaha Kamal, and her young son, Ali Imad Kamal, from the town of Machghara.
And the Al-Nimr family — father Hussein Mohammad Al-Nimr, his wife Asmaa Al-Kahil, and their children Mohammad, Falak, Hafez, and Sara.
Entire families wiped out.
These are not numbers nor statistics. These were families.
Names. Faces. Lives.

One of the most incisive and accurate appraisals of post-1948 Jewish intellectual and political history I’ve ever come across. Sinwar understood the Jewish people better than we understand ourselves.

The Lebanese people have the opportunity to embrace their own warriors, amongst the fiercest and most mentally strong soldiers on earth that are facing head on the military hardware of the Empire.
Instead, some of them embrace the pedophiles and their F35 and celebrate the killing of their own people.
They have the chance to have the honor of facing this prime Evil, and they choose to side with it against their own countrymen . An opportunity to be proud of something billions of people dream of achieving - a victory against global arrogance.

She can’t complete her education.
She can’t even afford anything to eat.
Do you know why?
Because she received only one donation the whole month ‼️

A paramedic in southern Lebanon rushed to the site of an attack that turned out to be his parents’ home, where be discovered Israeli forces had killed everyone present.
Hala Jaber@HalaJaber
🚨A paramedic in southern Lebanon responded to a strike on a home in the town of Bazouriyeh, doing what he has likely done countless times before - rushing toward destruction to save whoever might still be alive. When he arrived, he realised it was his parents’ house. There was no one to save. “They’re gone… my mother and my father.” The cruelty of it is unbearable. He spends his life racing in an ambulance to save others. But he could not save his own. This is what Israel’s war does. It doesn’t just kill. It turns those who come to rescue into those left to mourn.
