2026 is speed-running the “rhyming” of modern world history. We’ll get the 1929 rhyme soon enough.

“Capital’s offshoot, settler Zionism, the maker of the Palestinian Nakba, …is a sharper replica of the big capital relation, the maker of humankind’s Nakba.”

“The economic system of the periphery cannot be understood in itself, its relations with the center are crucial; similarly, the social structure of the periphery is a truncated structure that can only be understood when it is situated as an element in a world social structure.”

AI is not a tool for the advancement of human society on a world scale, but a weapon to crush it. We are living in the early stages of the new manhattan project, racing to develop the dominant technology of mass destruction.

Thread *** New documentary series on Minab just released *** "Still, Minab" is a mini-series documenting the massacre committed by the US-Zionist death machine at Minab on the first day of the war. The series centers the families of Minab, in their fight for justice for their children and the renewal of life in the face of the death machine. It has been such a tremendous honor to witness, and contribute in a small way, to the work that @Helyeh_Doutaghi and her team have put into this project. It is such a vital testimony to the stakes of this war and the broader struggle against imperialism and for a sovereign dignified life. Please watch episode one. In the rest of this thread, I offer my reflections on this episode: 1/

@mariatdystopia @b4dchan Not to mention the money printer that was turned on for western marxist influencers, academics, publishers, podcasters, clout chasers, etc on Oct 7. There are thousands of them and it’s absolutely disgusting.

Western Marxists at the imperial core stay online praising themselves over this or that theory—no, no revolution, liberation, or relief for the (neo)colonized happened. The South’ damnés centuries-old suffering so they can live in fantasy, just the same old individualist escapism

I’m sure Lebanese civilians are really invested in whether anarchists or communists win the internet discourse. I’m sure your houseless neighbor does too. I’m totally sure having the correct analysis on twitter really helps everyone being killed right now.

Like Gaza and Lebanon, the US faces an unbreakable enemy. Whether negotiations succeed in Pakistan or not, the war on Iran will continue for years to come. This is only still the beginning of a new kinetic phase of war, culminating from decades of hybrid and economic warfare.

Ali Kadri argues that the working class in the West is ontologically bound up with capital. This explains why Western Marxists find it difficult to grasp the deeply interwoven history of Shia Islam and revolutionary struggle, and end up reifying imperialism's orientalist logic

israel will agree to a pause in bombing Lebanon just enough to give negotiations a chance, and if the outcome is positive, they will start bombing Lebanon again to goad Iran into breaking the ceasefire.

Citizens of the imperial core just tasted a tiny sliver of the economic pain that will be felt when US-led imperialism takes a bigger blow in the future.

@DanMKervick the point is that zionism took the holocaust of european jews and made it The Holocaust™️
English
There is nothing wrong with a holocaust museum. We should remember all the holocausts - the one in Nazi Germany, the one in Palestine, the one in Vietnam, the one in the Congo, the one in North America … and so many others. Human decency faces a common killer-imperialist enemy.

This shit is so weird. 1. There’s literally a giant ass Holocaust Memorial smack in the middle of Boston. It’s like a whole friggin park. They have tour guides and everything. 2. The Holocaust didn’t even happen in America. The victims weren’t even American. Why TF does every city in America need *multiple* memorials/museums dedicated to this foreign historical event???

I've instructed my chef to make meals that are exactly 700 calories. But they're more than 700 calories. You know how I know? My resting heart rate is elevated by 3 beats per minute. I'm 1,000+ reps (days) in knowing how food impacts my heart rate.

How does the US suddenly have a forward operating airfield in the Zagros mountains with 5 transport aircraft staged? This story makes no sense.
