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.
I got green the last time I did it as well
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.
when I’m in a conviently fighting everything but western allies competition and my enemy is ISIS
LMAO.
- 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) - 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. […]

are russia and china doing enough for palestine?
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.
Eli5 the differences between imperialism and neo-colonialism, or shoot me some recommendations to read? ty
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.
i can’t be the only one that thinks that taylor swift music is AI generated recently right?
💀
Personally, I’m pretty sure Taylor Swift is a federal agent at this point. So her new work being AI generated would be a hilarious cherry on top.
Hey, comrades! What’s this weekly post for? [wrong answers only]
as the title implies, this thread is clearly intended for in-depth historical discourse about Red Army generals
I hate to say it. But I did not care for Konev. He is definitely not on the same level as Zhukov.
Wait I thought it was for Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces Generals
Do you believe in this entire discourse?
He states that from his credibly asian sources, that Israel planned to detonate tactical nuke mid air (EMP) to bring down Iran’s electric grid but got shot down/intercepted by Russian Air Force.
You will see no one covering this

follow up (claims another source)
Tell me more - who is “RealPepeEscobar” and why do we trust them?
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?
pure fanfiction nonsense
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
Never a bad idea to go to protests. Don’t beat yourself up for it too much, though.
Comrade Xi better explain to me why “beautiful nation” in chinese means USA.
Are they wrong? America is a genuinely gorgeous country who’s natural beauty and diversity is incredible.
Everything else? Well….
it’s just phonetic, there is no meaning for it.
That’s not what my Chinese textbook printed on the USA says lol
some cringeass quisling must’ve come up with the word
Watching the Champions League and its nice to see that comrade @Oppo@lemmygrad.ml features significantly on the advertising hoardings
When my team was playing Champions League earlier this season I was in the stadium and had a small laugh when I saw OPPO plastered everywhere
If your not team won you are welcome 💪.
If they lost uuuh facist counter revolutionaries intervenedWhen I become the new Stalin my team will never lose again
Is the team winning?
Sadly we have been defeated by the forces of evil (Bavarians)
Your team defeated my team earlier this season
Halcyon days truly. Glad to see PSV (probably) win the title though can’t say I follow the dutch league but always had a soft spot for them
I have been thinking about this incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran–U.S._RQ-170_incident and how Obama’s imperialism and spying was the gift that gave us modern stealth Iranian drones.
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?
