🇮🇷 NEW Lego Style Video from Iran Titled: Power Plant Day and Bridge Day Iran has a lego movie for every post Trump does now

You won't hear a better 55-second description of MAGA and Trump than this: in terms of the perspective of any minimally honest MAGA supporter:

Legendary drummer James Gadson R.I.P.

Ha ha..! Sen. Kaine: You get publicly drunk and abusive. Hegseth: Anonymous false charges. Sen. Kaine: We've seen names, including your mum's.

I have no idea who she is, but I’d sit in on her class any time. The sick question: ‘Does Israel even have the right to exist?’ Watch.

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran. This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war. Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons. I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late. Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.

I can’t ….. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You can talk about nukes and the "Mullahs" til the cows come home, but really what all of this boils down to is a bunch of white people sailing from the other side of the planet to steal resources & land. This is the "culture" of European settlers and has been for centuries.

Yup

“Why is it that these apparently liberal democracies in the West are such incredibly violent warmongers?”

There’s an old Soviet joke: A cowboy is riding for his life, Indians right behind him. He thinks, This is the end. Then a voice in his head says, Not yet. Shoot their chief. He fires from the saddle and drops him. Silence. Then the voice says: Now it’s the end.

The US bombing of schoolchildren in Iran is the biggest single US massacre of civilians since My Lai. The Israeli bombing of Tehran’s oil storage constitutes the biggest single act of chemical warfare against a civilian population in history. Grotesque new depths of barbarism.

From a purely political POV, Trump has already lost the war

For as long as I can remember, Labour has relied on left-of-centre voters, having nowhere else to go, no matter how far right Labour went. And now they have. That's game over time for Labour, and rightly so.

Excerpt from The Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins (2020): “The fourth way that anticommunist extermination programs shaped the world is that they deformed the world socialist movement. Many of the global left-wing groups that did survive the twentieth century decided that they had to employ violence and jealously guard power or face annihilation. When they saw the mass murders taking place in these countries, it changed them. Maybe US citizens weren’t paying close attention to what happened in Guatemala, or Indonesia. But other leftists around the world definitely were watching. When the world’s largest Communist Party without an army or dictatorial control of a country was massacred, one by one, with no consequences for the murderers, many people around the world drew lessons from this, with serious consequences. This was another very difficult question I had to ask my interview subjects, especially the leftists from Southeast Asia and Latin America. When we would get to discussing the old debates between peaceful and armed revolution; between hardline Marxism and democratic socialism, I would ask: “Who was right?” In Guatemala, was it Árbenz or Che who had the right approach? Or in Indonesia, when Mao warned Aidit that the PKI should arm themselves, and they did not? In Chile, was it the young revolutionaries in the MIR who were right in those college debates, or the more disciplined, moderate Chilean Communist Party? Most of the people I spoke with who were politically involved back then believed fervently in a nonviolent approach, in gradual, peaceful, democratic change. They often had no love for the systems set up by people like Mao. But they knew that their side had lost the debate, because so many of their friends were dead. They often admitted, without hesitation or pleasure, that the hardliners had been right. Aidit’s unarmed party didn’t survive. Allende’s democratic socialism was not allowed, regardless of the détente between the Soviets and Washington. Looking at it this way, the major losers of the twentieth century were those who believed too sincerely in the existence a liberal international order, those who trusted too much in democracy, or too much in what the United States said it supported, rather than what it really supported—what the rich countries said, rather than what they did. That group was annihilated.”

The arrest of Mountbatten-Windsor doesn't show that "no one is above the law." It shows that those in power will only act against their own when the evidence is so overwhelming and so public that it is putting the system itself in jeopardy.

Rubio's speech was obviously imperialist and repulsive (and all global South states should take note, and plan deterrence accordingly). But it also shows he understands an important historical fact that most people do not grasp, and which the US has spent the past half century trying to erase and obscure. Namely, the anti-colonial movement, which was one of humanity's greatest moral and political achievements, was led in large part under the banner of socialism. Rubio referred to "anti-colonial uprisings that would transform the world and drape the red hammer and sickle across vast swaths of the map in the years to come." The hammer and sickle... the symbol of the workers and peasants - overwhelmingly in the global South - whose labour creates the world's wealth... The national liberation movements - and the masses of workers and peasants they mobilized and represented - understood that they needed to regain control over their resources and productive capacities, and organize them around human needs and development rather than around servicing capital accumulation in the core. Socialist ideas provided a method for achieving this, and with remarkable results. It is crucial to understand that socialism gained *enormous* global prestige with the success of the anti-colonial revolutions. And this prestige was further cemented when the socialist countries (mainly the USSR and China) played a decisive role in defeating fascism, which was spawned within and promoted by the capitalist core and inflicted brutal violence not only within Europe but much more extensively in the colonized territories. Socialism was so popular at the time that the US, as the rising imperial power seeking to consolidate hegemony, tried (falsely) to paint itself as a champion of anti-colonialism and anti-fascism. Of course, this was a lie: the US was created through violent colonization, complete with fascist ideology (which they leveraged to justify ethnic cleansing, genocide, mass enslavement and apartheid). The fact that the US represented itself this way - through an aggressive propaganda strategy - is testament to the popularity and prestige that socialism held. Rubio is now dispensing with the propaganda, and in the process reveals the reality... that the West is doubling down on imperialism, once again with openly fascist ideology, and they recognize the only real force that has ever held them in check: socialist and anti-colonial movements.
