The mistake these Arab family dictatorships made from the very beginning was allowing themselves to be milked in exchange for security. In return, America is essentially saying: you’ve been hoarding wealth, supplying China with energy, and competing with American oil. At the same time, you have no real means to defend yourselves—because the moment U.S. bases disappear, everything disappears with them, and all those expensive weapons you bought won’t mean much. It’s a brutal reality. A real jungle out there. Good luck dealing with Iran. Would you like some more expensive toys?

China on Wednesday put into operation the world’s largest single production line for electronic-grade glass fiber in east China’s Jiangsu Province. With an annual output of 100,000 tonnes of electronic-grade glass fiber, the production line can also produce 390 million meters of electronic glass cloth a year, accounting for approximately 9% of the global market. The products coming out of the facility are destined for new energy vehicles, photovoltaics and the low-altitude economy, and are expected to boost China’s self-sufficiency in high-end electronic base materials.

"We had a plan across the administration. We unsanctioned Russian oil. In the coming days, we may unsanction the Iranian oil [...] in essence, we may be using the Iranian barrels against the Iranians." You need to eat a lot of glue to come up with this masterplan.

liberals have no plan for change, because ultimately they don't want change. this is very fundamental to any sort of communist political knowledge, but still kicks me in the ass sometimes that the majority of people around me at the end of the day are fine with the way things are

🔴Zambia’s Own Kenneth Kaunda Defended China’s Role in Africa in 1971, Exposing the Dishonesty of Cultural Pan-Africanist Historic Framing Dwayne Wong is one of the leading digital voices representing Cultural Pan-Africanist thought, and that matters because Cultural Pan-Africanism in this form often stands as the antithesis of Revolutionary Pan-Africanism. Again and again, it converges with positions long favored by Washington: romanticizing feudal reaction in figures like Haile Selassie, flattening class contradictions in the name of African symbolism, and echoing imperial narratives about China’s role in Africa, both then and now. Wong’s framing is not only misleading; it is profoundly ahistorical. To claim that China “sustained neocolonialism” by pairing Mao with a Washington installed figure like Mobutu is a cheap gotcha, not serious political analysis. China engaged African states strategically and pragmatically, as states do, and not on the basis of moral fantasy. Reducing a whole historical period to a single image is distortion. What this framing dismisses entirely is both the historic reality of the Chinese Revolution and the reasons it held such weight across the colonized world, including Africa. The Chinese Revolution emerged out of a century of invasion, famine, partition, humiliation, and semi-colonial domination, and under Mao that condition was fundamentally reversed. The revolution restored sovereignty, unified the country, broke the old landlord-comprador order, expanded literacy and public health, built an independent industrial base, and transformed China from an object of imperial domination into a state capable of defending its autonomy. But just as important was its class character. The Chinese Revolution was not led by an already consolidated urban proletarian majority in the classical European sense; it was a peasant-centered revolution rooted in the countryside, in an overwhelmingly rural society marked by landlord domination, uneven development, and foreign penetration. That fact mattered enormously in Africa, where much of the population also lived in rural conditions as peasants, agricultural laborers, pastoralists, and other oppressed strata outside the narrow framework of industrial urban life. China’s revolutionary path therefore had immense relevance because it showed that anti-imperialist transformation was possible in agrarian societies where the peasantry formed the decisive mass base. For many African revolutionaries and anti-colonial thinkers, this made China’s experience far more concrete and instructive than abstract formulas drawn from industrial Europe. This is one reason China was viewed positively across much of the continent during the era of decolonization. It was not simply seen as another powerful state, but as a formerly subjugated nation that had broken foreign domination through revolution in conditions that, in important respects, were closer to those of Africa than those of the advanced capitalist West. Its development was therefore politically legible to African societies still structured by rural labor, land struggle, colonial extraction, and uneven modernization. Zambia under Kenneth Kaunda defended China’s assistance. Tanzania under Julius Nyerere worked closely with Beijing, most famously through the TAZARA railway, which was understood not merely as infrastructure but as a strategic anti-colonial project reducing dependence on white-minority rule in southern Africa. China also supported liberation struggles confronting Portuguese colonialism and settler regimes. None of this places China above criticism, but it makes clear that the historical record cannot be reduced to a single image and a moral insinuation. This is the core weakness of Cultural Pan-Africanist analysis in this form: symbolism in place of material analysis. It ignores class forces, political economy, and the social basis of revolution, while treating visual association as historical proof. That allows it to evade the real questions of who ruled, how liberation was won, how neocolonialism operated, and why China’s peasant-based revolution resonated so strongly across rural Africa. The result is more moral theater than serious analysis.
Dwayne Wong@DOmowale

China under Mao actually helped to sustain neocolonialism in some parts of Africa, which is another reason why the comparisons with Africa and China don't work.

Absolute bombshell. Christiane Amanpour confirms that US and Israeli analysts admit Iran is firmly in the driving seat of this war. She also reveals the assassinated Iranian negotiator was actually their favored candidate for a transition.

Stop saying “they’re saying the quiet part out loud,” when describing the ways of these warmongering mothafuckas. They are LOUDLY destroying humans, animals, communities, and the environment. And they’re not quiet at all about their reasoning.
