A must-read article from Craig Murray. Excerpt:
“Rodríguez is therefore reduced to negotiating with the occupiers over how much of Venezuela’s own money she is allowed to spend on her own people. She is obliged to host a series of sickening visits from smirking Trump henchmen, openly humiliating and raping Venezuela. The claims that Rodríguez wants this, still more that she engineered this, are nuts.
I have seen criticism from the political left in the West, that Venezuela should have fought, should still fight, should join the anti-Imperial resistance. I have seen Venezuelans criticised as “sell-outs”.
Rather few of those making these criticisms have personally taken to the mountains with an AK47 to fight a superpower which has openly abandoned all pretence to follow the laws of war on protection of civilian life and infrastructure. It is certainly an option; but the death toll would be appalling and Venezuela would be condemned to many years of civil war and US military occupation.”

The Weight on Delcy Rodriguez - As I was leaving the University of the Communes in Tayacito, after a joyful and uplifting visit, an earnest young Professor came up to me and pulled me aside. Very quietly, he asked me what was going to happen. A number of craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2026/…

@BTnewsroom @RaniaKhalek One of my favorite authors. His and his wife’s works on Imperialism are top notch.
English
Marxist economist Prabhat Patnaik discusses the dialectics of aggression vs. the dialectics of resistance — and how the entire Global South may in be danger of recolonization if Iran falls.
Watch @raniakhalek Dispatches on BT's Youtube.

@TwentyF26459678 @JeanGreige It’s also literally a work of fiction
English
@JeanGreige Have you read Gulag Archipelago?
It’s like “A Handmaid’s Tale,” only it doesn’t give a fuck what your gender is.

Every autistic nerd who spent a decade researching world history and politics: “wow I’m a communist now”
Illiterate American on the internet who gets their news from some guy on YouTube: “haha moron”

@cutelikeafox12 @redmischa I just logged off, I’m doing fine though. Nice to see folks still sharing some of the things I put together, glad to know it wasn’t just a way to damage my psyche. Hope all is well with ye olde mutuals.

@redmischa Another thread I've always really appreciated. I wonder what happened to Communist Dad. 🙁

🧵 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, Part 2 🧵 Western popular history rests on numerous Big Lies repeated ad nauseam. One of these lies is that Hitler and Stalin were allies who collaborated to partition Poland in World War 2. This is provably false. Here's what actually happened.

The fact they charged Luigi with “terrorism” says nothing about his actions and everything about the way that word is used politically.

BREAKING: Grand jury indicts Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the UnitedHealthcare CEO killing, on a charge of murder as an act of terrorism. apnews.com/article/united…

"There are so many tragic stories coming from Poland, and of course, the first in the phase of everything that has happened, the first and most tragic story is April 19 1943, and what happened that day, and then what has happened since”

According to Hebrew Media, “Israel” has successfully intercepted all recent missile attacks with an innovative new system they’re calling “Iron Ground”

Highly recommend this reading. Losurdo’s ability to identity and articulate contradictions is invaluable. In this essay, he highlights the contradictions between Marxism and populism, equality of poverty vs development, and internal vs external inequality, and more. 5/5

@urcommunistdad was al queda hq in the hospitals
English
Rewatched the Dark Knight and it’s kind of wild how blowing up a hospital cements the Joker’s status as a supervillain meanwhile today Israel has blown up dozens of hospitals with the full bipartisan support of the US government.
English
@EvelynStarshine No but you see those Japanese school children and Korean factory workers deserved it
English
@urcommunistdad the main thing bad guys do in movies to show they are irredeemably evil is weapons of mass destruction, the thing only the USA has done in the real world. Every film uses the US to show evil because there is no examples surpassing it to draw from
English
@avtailor @FunkyHunkyJunky @Avysarigger @shaggyjeff The British denied Palestine sovereignty under the Mandate, bc they chose to support Zionist colonization in part to rid the country of its Jews. Collin’s whole conceit here is that the British Empire gets to decide whose lives matter and whose don’t. Brilliant.
English
@FunkyHunkyJunky @Avysarigger @shaggyjeff @urcommunistdad How is having a parliament with elected officials not an organized political community? If both parliaments are under the jurisdiction of the high commissioner appointed by the League of Nations is that not one government?
English
@meat_witch Or France. Or England. Or Australia. Maybe even Japan. Basically if you’ve ever colonized anyone your life matter and if you were ever colonized it doesn’t.
English
@FunkyHunkyJunky are the terrorists in the room with us now Conner
English
@urcommunistdad Well, in The Dark Knight there aren’t terrorists inside of what once were hospitals and schools so…
English
@CrockpotRadical They can kill as many as they like of the wrong type of person but shit is going down if they make the right type of person feel unsafe
English
@urcommunistdad Future movie villains will need to step up their game. Blowing thousands of innocent babies apart? That's just "protecting democracy".
English
Fitting that the film ends with Bruce Wayne doubling down on a discredited ideal. Capitalists still have no better way to justify an apparently unjust statement than to congratulate themselves for ending feudalism and pretending like they really mean it this time about equality.
English
Today, this hypocrisy is most farcically exemplified by Israel, the “democracy” committing genocide against people who are openly dehumanized. The starkly contrasting value of hostage and Palestinians lives exposes the rank hypocrisy that underpins liberalism everywhere.
