Lenin said this over 100 years ago, and it's still very true today.
Image of artwork of Vladimir Lenin wearing a tan-colored suit and hat, looking sideways. Next to the art of him are the words: "The so-called bipartisan system prevailing in America and Britain has been one of the most powerful means of preventing the rise of an independent working-class." - Vladimir Lenin

People's Dispatch: " #PeoplesHistory | Today is the anniversary of the death of Thomas Sankara, the Burkinabé revolutionary leader.

Sankara was the President of Burkina Faso from 1983 to 1987 and a revolutionary Marxist pan-Africanist.
A colour graphic with a close-up portrait of Thomas Sankara wearing his red beret and camouflage uniform, looking ahead with a calm, determined expression. The background is dark green foliage. Large white text reads: “THOMAS SANKARA — December 21, 1949 – October 15, 1987.” The People’s Dispatch “people’s history” logo appears in the corner. The image commemorates the revolutionary leader on the anniversary of his assassination. A reddish-toned poster showing Thomas Sankara speaking passionately at a microphone, wearing his red beret and military jacket. To the right, a quote in white text reads: “We have learned that from now on imperialism must be fought relentlessly. If we don’t want other Maurice Bishops to be assassinated tomorrow, we have to start mobilizing as of today. When the people stand up, imperialism trembles!” — Thomas Sankara, Excerpt from “Our White House is in Black Harlem” Below the quote, smaller text explains that he delivered this speech in New York to a rally of more than 500 people at the Harriet Tubman School in Harlem. The People’s Dispatch logo is in the corner. A black-and-white photograph of Thomas Sankara speaking at the podium of the United Nations General Assembly, wearing his camouflage uniform and beret. To the right of the image is a quote in white text: “Courageous, determined, stoic and tireless, the Palestinians remind us all of the need and moral obligation to respect the rights of a people.” — Thomas Sankara, Excerpt from his speech before the General Assembly of the United Nations. The People’s Dispatch “people’s history” hourglass logo appears in the upper corner. A black-and-white poster honouring Thomas Sankara. The upper half contains a quote in white text on a dark background: “Our solidarity and support to activists go against national liberation movements fighting for independence of their country and the liberation of their peoples. This support is particularly; to the people of Namibia under the leadership of SWAPO, the Sahrawi people in their struggle to recover their territory, to the Palestinian people for their national rights. In our struggle, the African anti-imperialist allies are our goals.” — Thomas Sankara, Excerpt from “The Political Orientation Speech” Below the text is a photo of Sankara smiling and raising his fist, surrounded by soldiers and civilians during Burkina Faso’s revolutionary years. In the bottom-left corner is the People’s Dispatch hourglass logo with the words “people’s history.”

If anything, his posts make him seem better than he is. The problem is that he worked for Constellis (Blackwater). There's a difference between rhetoric and actions. If you believe that all cops are bastards, why would you ever become one yourself?

The problem with liberals is that they have empathy for monsters, but not for their victims. They associate with and relate to the powerful, so when they see them fall apart due to the ravages of time, they see their own mortality reflected in them. Whereas they see the poor as other, not like them.

If you're going to a protest, there are things that you don't do. You don't register beforehand, take selfies and post them on social media, take young children with you, and dress like you're going to the beach. That's because you know that cops will be there, and that you'll be beaten or arrested.

That's 200kg of rubble for every square meters
Or,
771 tonnes of rubble for every acre,
Or,
191,000 tonnes for every square kilometre
Or,
20g of rubble for every f**king square centimetre of Gaza
Up to 70 million tonnes of rubble, 20,000 unexploded ordnances in Gaza: Media Office There is between 65 and 70 million tonnes of rubble and debris in Gaza, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office. “This rubble includes thousands of homes, facilities, and vital infrastructures deliberately destroyed by the [Israeli] occupation forces, turning the [Gaza] Strip into an environmentally and structurally devastated area and obstructing the delivery of humanitarian aid and relief efforts,” the office said in a statement. “The process of removing this massive rubble faces severe obstacles, most notably the lack of heavy equipment and machinery due to the Israeli occupation’s ban on their entry, the complete closure of border crossings, and the deliberate prevention of bringing in the materials and machinery necessary to recover the bodies of victims,” it added. The office urged Israel to open the crossings and begin the removal process. “Preliminary estimates also indicate the presence of about 20,000 unexploded ordnances, including bombs and missiles dropped by the Israeli army, posing a grave threat to the lives of civilians and field workers. These remnants require specialised engineering and security handling before any removal or reconstruction work can begin,” the office also said.

The cutting off of rare earths from China is a death sentence for the US war machine. One that cannot come soon enough.
How rare earths power US defense. - F-35 fighter jet uses 418 kg of rare earths - Arleigh Burke dog-51 destroyer uses 2600 kg of rare earths. - Virginia class submarine uses 4600 kg of rare earths. Rare earths are used for things like guided missiles, lasers, drive motors, advanced radar systems, missile guidance systems, propulsion, tomahawk missiles, and radar systems.

It's funny how the First Amendment was never applied to those challenging US imperialism, but rather, it was used to defend hate speech from actual neo-nazis and KKK members.

Hate speech when tolerated, can spread and fester til it's the loudest, and then it becomes the narrative.

Just in case anyone was wondering, this is where my avatar came from. I used MS Paint to (poorly) combine a picture I took of my komodo dragon plushie with an image of the flag of the Communist Party of Vietnam.

Why are people trying to draw a nuanced distinction between the racism of Bush and Trump Republicans? Why does that shit matter, unless it's to point out that all of the Bush Republicans became Dems, and that's who you told people to vote for in 2024?

Some of the Palestinian bodies being released by Israel "show signs of torture, execution" according to AJ.
Meanwhile Hamas says its can't release the bodies of dead Israelis (because Israel dropped buildings on them).
The media focus for stories from these facts?
"Hamas won't release bodies"

Yes I can enlighten you. When the Democrats do it, they do it quietly and don't brag about it. This kind of killing of Black & brown people is preferred over the loud and proud style of Trump. If it happens quietly, liberals and Democrats can pretend it's not happening & carefree enjoy brunch.

I’m as appalled as the next person by Trump’s admin randomly bombing boats in international waters without oversight and accountability.

I nevertheless fail to see the difference between this and Obama’s drone campaigns.
