The US has its nukes on everyone's borders, floats its ships through their waters, flies through their airspace. This is not an escalation. Allied nations send vessels through one another's ports all the time. Russia does this regularly. This moment is intense so it is getting attention and there is a case for not doing it, but it is not escalation. Keep in mind the DPRK has had submarines go to Cuba in the past 20 years.
I remember early in the pandemic when I was still on non-political boards' politics sections and the most left leaning person there, who I got on with quite well, kept saying he was pissed at what he called Third Worldists who wanted a nation other than the US to find a cure. It already seemed stupid to complain about people merely wishing for China or idk even SA to find a vaccine that works, but he would get really firm about it when I asked "well if it has to be somebody wouldn't it be better if it is someone who won't try to use it as a cudgel?"
In hindsight I feel very vindicated, this is the exact shit that one could predict would happen. The US no matter who made a cure, would hold it over poor countrys' heads and try to prevent usage of a vaccine if it is made by their enemies. You cannot hold the apolitical "I just hope someone, anyone, finds a vaccine" because we do not live in a world in which something so life-saving is going to be treated as property of all of humanity. It cannot be apolitical, it cannot be separated from the empire and its goals
Making it way more efficient. Its funny how when you look into things you find human ingenuity and not just "eh capitalists probably did it for no reason".
These fucking dipshits, the Bolsheviks did not lead to People's Will, that is the Narodniks. The Bolsheviks didn't fucking exist yet. And the Lipetsk Congress was the SRs whom the mention on this same page. Jesus christ even just by western academic standards this is worthy of being burned
'Israel' has responded by assassinating Hezbollah (and Iranian) leaders, but the Resistance just names missiles after the martyrs and send more.
Epitome of a heroic people
Felix is right
what does ordinary Gazan actually mean here? even just the armed combat wing alone has pretty large numbers in relation to the population of Gaza. do schoolteachers and bakers stop being ordinary when they pick up a rifle? is there some idealized apolitical Palestinian?

Who would our Cuban, Venezuelan, and Nicaraguan comrades prefer to see in the White House, considering the U.S. imperialist blockade loosened up during the Obama administration? Our short-term tactics and strategy are not limited to voting for the “lesser of two evils,”
They would prefer Americans grow a backbone and not chain themselves to the oppression of the third world. That we would separate ourselves from our state's power and build working class movements divorced from these ghouls. Also Joe just tried to coup Diaz
Wait that's what is happening if a reply keeps loading? I always thought that was a glitch
They're not animals.
Unlike the Germans
I feel like if there is one thing the Naxals should be commended for it is uniting with other factions. Their historic splits are far in the past and they have only become more united in time. They never had something as big as say CPI and CPI-M's split
the principle of it
Have they split recently? The Naxals since the 2000s have mostly been merging parties and insurgencies like the formation of CPI-M(Maoist)
Which is Corey to a T. Nice intelligent lib, but anti-communist. His discord has a "no nazi or communist avatars" rule which is why I refuse to join. But otherwise he has good analysis of technocratic stuff
Was she right about Libya?
My greatest point of pride is having NOT voted for this fuck. Because last second I googled "Fetterman palestine" and was like "well fuck this ogre"
I looked it up and yeah that is so weird. The oldest of them is from 1998, but they are actually way older cause they had been an illegal communist insurgent party since the 60s. I definitely see what you mean by cycles. There are like 3 from 2002, 4 or 5 from 2007, and so on. And that's of all with at least 1 seat in Congress.
I don't know political culture in Guatemala, how do people pick candidates? Are those somewhat the same just the parties shift? It seems like it would be hard to even remind people who they want to vote for

On the bright side, it is heartening to see Iwata's influence and decency still influencing devs today
