Resistance hears the call:
Hamas releases a video with 3 rockets and today’s date. Video says “Our Women Prisoners are the Red Line!”
This is violence. You know nothing about Iran. You repeat zionist lies about Iran. You are doing the work of the enemy.
Your ignorance is readily apparent. The subtle Islamophobia behind your messages is readily apparent. Instead of listening and learning and asking questions you have continued to double down on your chauvinism.
I don’t owe you any more of an explanation or any more of my time.
Imagine for a moment that you take your “Latino Amerikkkan in the deep south” self to Sana’a or Ouagadougou or Jenin or Grozny or Bamako or Tehran or Laayoune or Beirut or Gaza or Baghdad. Telling the forces of anti-imperialist revolution there about your plan to “free their minds from irrational immaterial thought” and see how that goes over. It wouldn’t go over very well.
Internationalism means building points of unity with anti-imperialist forces and respecting their self-determination.
The way you are talking about other cultures and religions and peoples is fucked. It’s especially anti-materialist when the people in these places are doing more for global anti-imperialist struggle in just one day than the sum of entire US anti-imperialist movement has done over the last 50 years.
Maybe it is just a question of definition but I don’t know what is difference between monopoly capital interests and “US National Interests”?
US government is a fascist-imperialist government that is just the face for monopoly capital. So now the massive companies and the financial monopoly capitalists that now have Ukraine, as well as many other European countries as indebted underlings with less autonomy than before. They basically eliminated a lot of European economic/political forces as competitors. Great scheme in light of the larger crisis of capitalism and TRPF.
I only push back because it seems odd to me the narrative promoted by paleoconservatives that this is “bad for US interests”. They said the same about Iraq and Afghanistan like “we failed in Iraq because we didn’t bring them democracy” but their invasions into West Asia have been very successful at promoting total chaos. US imperialism real “failure” in West Asia was that they couldn’t destroy the Islamic Republic of Iran. If they had successfully destroyed Iran in color rev attempts in 2009, 2011, etc then Syria would also have fallen. It is chaos which is profitable and the best thing for US imperialism. They used that chaos to create ISIS which is paying dividends by keeping much of Africa mired on chaos (thus easier to exploit) to this day.
While the war in Ukraine has accelerated the movement towards multipolarity and NATO is being demilitarized I don’t think we could write it off as a failure for the US. They have achieved very real benefits and continue to accrue benefits otherwise they wouldn’t drag it out as they have.
Again I am just very wary of how these paleocons position things (and then that bleeds into other anglophone ‘pro-Russian’ spaces) because they are obviously saying what they do for a reason. What that reason is? I’m not sure yet. But I suspect its to deflect from the actual strategy for US imperialism (as economic force).
To be clear: I see what you’re saying. I agree they won’t achieve the destruction of Russia or its relationship to the PRC. And I want to advance this line of the dialectic here with you to unearth this contradiction because it is not something that is being discussed almost anywhere else that I have seen. 🙏
Right, US soldiers are already there getting denazified. The article is just referring to official deployment of troops or air force by US/NATO. Thats why it showed the overlay of Desert Storm vs Ukraine.
US/NATO official deployment would require many years of planning.
We don’t know and until now we can’t know. But there’s some evidence that the US military created it and then it leaked (accident or purpose who knows). Not an “evil plan” per se.
Jeffry Sachs (himself an imperialist pig) chaired the Lancet Commission on Sars-COV-2 and seems to think so.
Chinese researchers have made similar claims.
It’s my personal opinion that the US has purposefully allowed it to continue and is using New York City as an incubator to continue the evolution of the virus because it puts a lot of pressure on foreign governments and is a cash cow for pharmaceutical monopoly capital.

I still think that religion itself is actively harmful, even in subtle ways, and that as a whole humanity will be better off without religion.
This is incompatible with internationalism.
But I also understand that religion acts as a painkiller, and might have a small amount of relief or comfort for those in the Global South demonized by capitalism.
It’s weird to reduce entire religions and entire cultures to being “a painkiller”. What a bizarre thing to say.
I just see no good that religion can offer that can’t otherwise be offered by a secular socialist society
I think this speaks more to the limitations of your political scope than to any actual dialectical materialist analysis.
Inshallah the temporary entity will not reach its 80th year
This is a good question. It all depends on how the contradiction is resolved. It’s going to be resolved 1 of 3 ways:
As for the #1-- It’s not gonna happen. the zionist entity can’t win a full on conflict with the entire Axis of Resistance.
As for #2 – I think this is the most likely possibility and it is only a matter of time. Those who are settlers should leave of their own accord before they are liquidated. Whether this will be a worker’s state? I have no clue. I think that is so far off that we can’t know. It will depend on how a new PLO is formed to become the national government. The PFLP is certainly working behind the scenes to prepare for it. That is for Palestinians inside of Palestine and in the camps to resolve though.
As for #3 The author of article provides a possibility where ‘Israel’ continues to exist by assimilating some Palestinians and genocide the remaining. Such a situation would have some similarities to modern South Africa. (This article was interesting insight of how it would look in Palestine.) There’s a lot of material differences (especially in terms of demographics) between apartheid-era South Africa and modern Palestine so I don’t want to extend the analogy beyond its usefulness.
But if we think about what happened when South Africa transitioned, the ANC made a lot of compromises because it was a non-violent transition. While there was militant elements it was not a militant revolution. Monopoly capital would never allow actual decolonization so it should be self-explanatory that a transition endorsed by monopoly capital turned out the way it did. I think the global solidarity movement has to reflect very hard on why ending apartheid through imperialist endorsed boycotts, promoted by NGO’s, was a complete failure for South Africans.
This is still a possible, albeit unlikely, scenario in Palestine and I think that’s why its important that we clearly identify the “false friends” such as Jewish Voice for Peace, Palestine Legal, If Not Now, Al Shabaka, and Adalah etc. Theres a good article about these groups and this phenomenon. It is these kinds of groups and other EU/Khaleeji NGO’s and western solidarity movements who penetrate into Palestinian society and promote normalization. They are enemies in disguise which is why they are so dangerous.
Bad solidarity work is far far worse than no solidarity work.

Looks a lot like this drone

Looks like they use them to drop tear gas and incendiary grenades. https://twitter.com/Islam_Abdu80/status/996067552882241537
Yes this was unquestionably a US-isntreal operation using their intelligence. CIA director is in occupied Palestine at this moment. Also Netanyahu said something to the effect of “We will punish the terrorists” just a few hours before the attack. All signs point this way.
Zionists can’t even carry out a drone attack successfully lol. Inshallah the IRGC will punish them swiftly
Comments from Iranian analyists:
" It seems [like Israel] wanted to carry out an operation immediately after the killing of the Zionists in the West Bank to give an answer and to reduce the psychological pressure a little and to say that Israel can respond quickly in Iran. Fortunately, no secondary explosion is seen after the impact, which indicates that the level of destruction is limited, if anything was destroyed at all by this light explosion. The response to these operations in Iran will soon be given in the occupied territories. The Zionists are very worried. The Quds Force has exactly targeted the nerve center of the Zionists!"
Excerpt: People say the Axis of Resistance is not left wing enough, ‘they’re not like Venezuela or Cuba so that’s not anti-imperialism’. But of course anti-imperialism has got nothing at all to do with the question of neoliberalism. It’s a question of whether you actively support the resistance. And if you ask the resistance what they think, they say ‘Yes Iran is our ally’.

Absolutely. Those who deny the legitimacy of Hamas deny the self-determination of the Palestinian nation. Palestine will be freed by Palestinian hands, guns, and rockets–supported by the Axis of Resistance.
