    I did a test to see which party I should vote on and the party that matches with my answers the most is… the Green party. Which is not my party lol.

      Really the only thing most of these tests seem to be good at is having people puzzled and/or laughing at their results.

      Since becoming a socialist, my results for those tests have become very unpredictable, which shows you how unreliable they are. When I was a GroenLinks voter, the results for those tests would always be GroenLinks. Those tests don’t take anti-establishment thoughts in account

    Iran - Israel is a distraction. Don’t fall for it. Palestinians are being massacred. Recently ISIS targeted palestinian bus in syria.

    LMAO.
    1. Having in mind its decision to secure a balanced representation of Korean opinion, the Sub-Committee, […] decided to invite to a hearing the following representatives of leftist groups:
      Haw Sawng Taik (Chairman, Federation of Korean Trade Unions)
      Huh Hun (Chairman, South Korea Labour Party [Formerly Communist party])
      Kim Won Bong (Chairman, People’s Republic Party)
      Paik Yong Hi (Chairman, All Korea Farmers’ Union)
      Yoo Yawng Choon (Chairman, Women’s Democratic Alliance)
    2. Taking account of the fact that the above persons were either in prison, under order of arrest, or under some form of police surveillance, the Sub-Committee approached the United States authorities with a view to securing an appropriate grant of immunity which would enable them, if they so desired, to accept its invitation to a hearing. […]

    [Emphasis mine]

      I think Russia and China both in their own ways have done serious legwork in destabilizing Western hegemony and creating the situation where Palestine for the first time in a very long time actually has a chance to be free forseeably. Without Ukraine destroying Western stocks, morale, exposing their weakness etc, this situation would be going even worse for the Palestinians. I think Russia has stuck its neck out enough, I would like to see both of them supporting Iran as much as possible. Does anybody know if they are? I assume they are, all being a part of the West’s “Axis of Evil” or whatever they call it.

        i agree with you. the speaker was arguing about diplomatic actions against Israel which they could have done more.

      Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism, defined by the dominance of finance capital (over industrial capital) and its export from the imperial core to the periphery.

      Neo-colonialism is a specific case of a relationship between an imperial core country and a periphery country, where the periphery country is nominally independent, and the imperial core country uses indirect means of intimidation (instead of direct colonial rule). I would also note that the terms neo-colonialism and colonialism center the colony/periphery, while imperialism centers the imperialist state. So it is still the same phenomenon, the terms just focus on different parts of the relationship.

        No clue but he has been a guest sometimes at the geopolitical economy podcast hosted by hudson and radhika.

        He mentions Sy Hersh in the tweet, lets see if he publishes something. Sy Hersh whistleblowed how the US destroyed the Nordstream pipeline.

      Pepe is a weird fella, he has been a guest at Hudson/Desai podcast sometimes and does come off as a russian simp, even to me that i critically support Russia. So it might be entirely possible that this is just propaganda but then again he mentions Sy Hersh, i think we can say that he is a very trustable journalist.

      If Sy Hersh confirms this, i will believe it. It is not unconceivable that Israel wanted to nuke them, or that they would hide the failure.

      Edit: btw scott Ritter claims its wrong, Pepe answers it by doubling down, wtf is going on 🥶

        there are still several unknowns. wouldn’t an operation like this involve more than one fighter, did the RAF shot down more than one? what are they even doing there in the first place?

    I think I have some guilt over going to Eurovision in Concert. I don’t regret it, but feel like I have to make up for it by going to pro-Palestine protests. I’ve added a few actions to my agenda

    Are Northern academics under pressure to fill some sort of anticommunist quota in order to appease their publishers? That would at least explain why they have to shoehorn in their dissertations these irrelevant potshots at communism, even when they’re self‐contradictory like this.

    Did we give the Jewish populations back their stuff before June 22, 1941? Or did we dispossess them only a little bit? Which one was it?
