If I can’t choose DC three times, then I will choose DC, Jerusalem, and London

Inshalla Hamas will make sure he doesn’t leave

Colonial settlers stealing land from indigenous populations and participating in ethnic cleansing are NOT “innocent civilians”. They are free to leave the war zone they created anytime they like. For Palestinians, this is homeland defense.

They are attempting to separate the SS from the official Third Reich by distinguishing as a paramilitary force distinct from the Wermacht. This is only true in the most technical superficial sense. In reality, the Wermacht were invading most of Europe while the SS were literally facilitating the holocaust in all occupied territories.

The German ambassador to Canada literally participated in a standing ovation to an actual veteran of the Waffen SS

Hmm I think he is right to criticize these types of policies that are still held by Columbia even under Petro, but I wonder if his insults against the man are too harsh? Petro seems like a breath of fresh air for Columbia in many ways even though he’s far from perfect. Either way, sandinistas are incredibly based and I’m inclined to believe Ortega’a analysis in general

Small correction, he was indeed a Marxist but he was a member of the more moderate Socialist Party, not the Communist Party.

We didn’t have much chance to discuss it in depth. He was hosting a local event where selected speakers take about 5 minutes to speak on a subject they are passionate about and he invited me to speak. I told him I wanted to talk about ending the embargo on cuba (which I did) and he said, oh that’s ironic because I will be opening the event by celebrating our right to free speech and saying how my grandfather didn’t have that right in Cuba. We both laughed and agreed we onviously don’t agree on some things, then just focused on boring procedural stuff about the event. At the actual event he elaborated the details I included in op but not with the exact same words I chose

To be clear I don’t think he supports embargoes or sanctions and certainly doesn’t support war or invasions, but he just doesn’t like communism at all and believes a lot of misinformation about communist led governments

Oh is he? You know what, I will self crit here. I just assumed he is part Chinese because he talks about China a lot. My bad if I assumed wrong

Edit: I forgot his Twitter handle is spiritofho. You probably right. Well let’s say Tings Chak then lol

But then of course when you cite Carlos Garrido or Danny Haiphong, etc. then they say “noooo not THOSE Cubans and chinese!”

A guy I know, real nice guy but super liberal, was telling me how his Cuban grandfather suffered under Castro. Sure enough, when he got into more details, it turns out his grandfather was a wealthy landlord whose farmland got collectivized and he only had to go to jail after he got very vocal about trying to get people to oppose the revolution (in which he was very much the minority BTW, his own friend turned him in)

It’s not about ideology. It’s about providing an alternative to the hegemon. Seeing those who are usually imperialist running dogs now beginning to choose the alternative is a win.

Not defending Williamson here, but as a resident of TN I can say they are vastly different on most things. I know Williamson is no revolutionary, but she is nowhere near the repugnant reactionary that Blackburn is. Besides following their political careers in general, I’ve seen them both speak in my hometown and the difference is night and day.

I still see it on there. But I barely understand how this site works to be honest. Am dum millenial here

I saw the movie today. If anyone’s wondering, it is pretty good for a Hollywood biopic

I’m on episode 4 out of 5 and it’s pretty good so far. I don’t know anything about Last Podcast’s political orientation, but I would say this is not explicitly Marxist content like many on Lemmygrad would prefer, but it does seem to be a good objective narration of history and I’m enjoying it

I’m terrible at vexillology so idk what most of those flags are, but the one on the green state is literally just a US flag

The architect was actually the same for both, and he designed Mt. Rushmore after Stone Mountain. Mt. Rushmore was originally supposed to depict Lewis and Clark, Sacagawea, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, and Red Cloud, but this racist mf’er convinced the government to use founding fathers instead

I went to the Center’s website that is linked on Wikipedia, and the all the images on there are porn. I can’t read Chinese so idk what the text says. What’s up with that??

Edit: I initially misunderstood your point.

It is a new headline about a thing that happened in the US.
