There’s a fascinating interview with a former American PoW who was teaching in China when he was charged with espionage. He talks about his treatment and the methods they used to try and de-program the PoWs from years of pro-capitalist/imperialist propaganda. Sadly, I can’t seem to find it now, but it was originally a radio interview if I’m remembering correctly and was re-published by either revolutionary left radio or guerrilla history.

I’d love to give it another listen of anyone knows where to find it.

Just saying 🤷

These gusanos are mostly those with the means to leave the country. They’re the small portion of the population from the major cities with decent jobs who’s standard of living was much higher than the majority. In this way, they benefited from the neo-colonial structure. They see the socialist project as having taken their privilege and they will do anything to get it back.

Proving once again that Democrats are spineless and will always back away from any attacks from the right.

I’m pleasantly surprised by the comments

This looks so inviting. I’m currently living in a winter hellscape 💀

There’s so much snow! Have a nice week comrade :D

Kallas is a Nazi so this is unsurprising

Christmas used to be cool. How far we’ve fallen smh my head.

I’m glad to leave 2025 behind. My mental health got so bad that I had to leave work. I’ve been trying different medication throughout the year, but they’ve all been a bust. I’m trying some different treatments this year and even if they don’t work out, I’ve got some plans that I’m excited about. I just need some time to work out the details.

Have a nice week comrade!

The people of Russia and China certainly agree they were. Your chauvanism is obvious and your arguments are based entirely on vibes. You’re not convincing anyone.

If you’re referring to famine, both Russia and China had experienced it over and over throughout their histories. In both cases, it only took one more before they resolved the problem of food security permanently. Famine continues to exist under the capitalist imperialist system even as we produce a surplus.

Pol Pot was supported by the CIA. It was the communists in Vietnam who liberated the country from his tyranny.

I’ll be taking part in at least 1 clinical trial for depression. I’m hopeful. Depression sucks and none of the antidepressants that I’ve tried work.

If Carney was really serious about shifting to improving relations with China, then we would be seeing a flood of high quality, affordable EVs, among other things, enter the market. I imagine China is one of the few alternatives to the USA, which has the ability to refine our heavy sand oil. It should be a no-brainer, but here we are.

I completely agree that there’s no turning back from a geopolitical standpoint. This piece is specifically commenting on how the rest of the NATO block no longer trusts the USA.

The officer then said that even a swift return of America to its former role won’t matter.

Because “we will never fucking trust you again.”

I just don’t see this being the case. Even as things currently stand, the western imperial powers continue to support the US lead genocide in Palestine and the majority of Europe is frothing at the mouth to sacrifice more Ukrainians to the meat grinder. The US empire is the last keeper of the barbarous European colonial mentality and this is still the dominant ideology within the NATO block.

I don’t buy it. The second a new administration enters the white house and the tarriff war comes to an end, these imperialists will be happy to lick the boot of the USA once again.

The first paragraph is basically a self-own and the second is him screeching about how it isn’t.

Every time I read a guardian article, its biased language truly evokes a sense of Orwellian double speak. One of many examples where liberal criticism of socialism is in actuality, criticism of the currently existing capitalist system.
