Belden is neither a socialist nor a democrat, but a highly disoriented petty-bourgeois radical.
The campaign posters in support of Belden at the university featured him in the pose of Che Guevara—in military fatigues, sporting an AK-47 assault rifle and smoking a large cigar. The Cuban petty-bourgeois nationalist leader notoriously befriended and gave refuge to Ramón Mercader, the Stalinist assassin who murdered Leon Trotsky, the co-leader of the Russian revolution.
Lmao who the fuck gets so mad about trivial shit like this. Aren't Trotskyists supposed to be concerned with the world revolution or something, why are you trying get a dirtbag podcaster cancelled
Somebody keeps posting them to the IWW subreddit despite them being often anti-iww. Weird dorks.
World Socialist Website. Run by...i dunno, the ICFI? Or the ISFI? who cares. They're mainline trots, anyway.
Have a lot of useful coverage and are a good source as long as you remember they're trots and oppose basically all socialism that exists.
Shouldn't Trotskyists like Che? His whole thing was running around trying to start revolutions everywhere.
people in the vintage communism fandom break along arbitrary tribal lines rather than theoretical or pragmatic ones.
Trotskyists often can barely stand Trotsky at times (Cliffites for example).
I'm really disappointed that the article didn't feature said poster of Brace Guevara
LMAO right? Like, killing Trotsky was definitely way over the top, but how the fuck are you so mad about it that you are tying modern figures to this by three or four degrees of separation?
Like, killing Trotsky was definitely way over the top
That wasn't the plan though. Stalin just wanted to pick his brain.
Honestly, reading up on the infighting in the 20s-early-30s makes ME want to put icepicks through these idiot's skulls.
Sure, Stalin over-reacted, but also I imagine after the third or fourth (Totally not a Nazi Intelligence Plant) assassination plot that he broke up he was beginning to lose patience.
The YPG militias are backed by the imperialist powers in the brutal US-instigated war for regime change in Syria.
I remember this cheap own going around a lot, that didn't hold up very well
Did they not take over Syrian lands while backed by the US lmao? I don't think I'm misremembering that. There were fights against Syrian troops
they got air support against ISIS, you remember that correctly. But regime change war was against Assad, who the YPG never fought against. There was also a whole news cycle about how they were abandoned by Trump so Turkey could come in. They were never given any (heavy) weapons (like the mujahideen got for example) and the U.S. dismantled all bases when pulling out. They were treated terribly compared to all the 'moderate rebels' yet they were more successful 'allies'
oh my god the WSWS lol. they're the only left website I know of that has publicly shown support of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, and it was because he was accused of sexual assault
I thought you were going to talk about how Gwen Snyder attempted to literally cancel him for this a couple of months back, calling him a war criminal and corpse defiler
I mean, tiss a tad weird everyone here thinks Assad is good yet we all like Brace still
Brace is as much an "assadist" as anybody here. Listen to him talk about Syria sometime, it's nothing at all like weirdo internet anarchists.
That’s funny cuz anarchists AND MLs act like the YPG and Assad are sworn enemies so yeah funny this white boi who did guard duty for the YPG stans Assad.
Syria complicated I guess
First Obama, now Brace?
Who else that I love am I about to find out is doing war crimes?
I say anyone who can make it from a club in California to a battle field in Syria and back again has to go through an intelligence agency of some sort. Not to be taken at face value.
