Did you mean to post this in c/memes and not c/agitprop or is the joke that a wall of text and a picture of somehow consititutes a leftist meme

The copypasta with all the Arabic has never been so accurate

“Traditional political forces have bet on Torres, because Arevalo is seen as a risk to the continuity of the system,”

When ghouls are saying this about you and you’re vaguely left of center you’re probably at least doing something to benefit society

From what I understand it was/is very widespread so unless they plan on integrating 10,000s or even more of new nurses/doctors it’s probably moreso cut that shit out time and make an example out of half a dozen people to facilitate scaring people straight

On one hand yeah, but on the other hand, little was done besides making a nyc bookstore and some propaganda, and if you think these orgs are completely seperate from the PSL and don’t share members/staff you are just misinformed.

I still can’t comprehend why not just do press releases for the donations as if a big paper wouldn’t eventually find out socialist groups are getting millions from some 100 millionaire guy (regardless of his background) who is also funding dongsheng news sitting in an office in Shanghai with communist office decorations, it just adds to the narrative that something suspicious was going on because they didn’t come out ahead of it

And ultimately making a hexbear comment is just my opinion, I’m not hurting any of these groups in any way by posting my takes on the hexagonal bear lemmy, like “which side are you on” give me a break lmao

doesn’t really matter how intentional it was when you are this guy (article from 2004)

AHMEDABAD: Gandhi is not so great, but Hitler is. Welcome to high school education in Narendra Modi’'s Gujarat, where authors of social studies textbooks published by the Gujarat State Board of School Textbooks have found faults with the freedom movement and glorified Fascism and Nazism.

While a Class VIII student is taught ‘‘negative aspects’’ of Gandhi’‘s non-cooperation movement, the Class X social studies textbook has chapters on ‘‘Hitler, the Supremo’’ and ‘‘Internal Achievements of Nazism’’. The Class X book presents a frighteningly uncritical picture of Fascism and Nazism. The strong national pride that both these phenomena generated, the efficiency in the bureaucracy and the administration and other ‘‘achievements’’ are detailed, but pogroms against Jews and atrocities against trade unionists, migrant labourers, and any section of people who did not fit into Mussolini or Hitler’‘s definition of rightful citizen don’'t find any mention." They committed the gruesome and inhuman act of suffocating 60 lakh Jews in gas chambers" is all the book, authored by a panel, mentions of the holocaust. The section on ‘‘Ideology of Nazism’’ reads: “Hitler lent dignity and prestige to the German government within a short time by establishing a strong administrative set up. He created the vast state of Greater Germany. He adopted the policy of opposition towards the Jewish people and advocated the supremacy of the German race. He adopted a new economic policy and brought prosperity to Germany. He began efforts for the eradication of unemployment. He started constructing public buildings, providing irrigation facilities, building railways, roads and production of war materials. He made untiring efforts to make Germany self-reliant within one decade. Hitler discarded the Treaty of Versailles by calling it just ‘‘a piece of paper’’ and stopped paying the war penalty. He instilled the spirit of adventure in the common people”.

A few classes junior, students in Gandhi’‘s home state read that the Bapu really may have been overrated. In the chapter on ‘‘Gandhian Era and National Movement’’, there’'s a section sub-headlined ‘‘The Negative Aspect’’.

I wouldn’t be too surprised if this wasn’t the case, the KMT is definitely in an upwards trend maybe in 5+ years things will be a bit different idk if people would just take that

This is very funny coming from the news outlet that has Chris Hedges as one of their most prominent hosts, like the right and left can unite to take on antiwar, but not the elites. I know this is from Adam Johnson and not Chris Hedges, but to go on a news network that Hedges is a prominent member of and not bring up that he does this exact thing, is not very

On one hand the red scare stuff is kind of scary, but on the other hand the fact that they came out with this “new cold war” line just as major orgs were exposed to a wider audience to taking millions of one billionaire’s money is a very convient spin, when your group is the one that got millions from this guy and never publicly acknowledged it until the NYT called you out. And now it’s public that your group magically has way more money than the DSA despire having orders of magnitude less members and then do almost nothing with the money except put out some newsletters and youtube videos.

I have seen zero accountability taken for not being transparent about having a billionaire patron (I know he thinks of himself as a socialist) or sitting on these giant piles of cash they got and doing almost nothing with it. And I have to assume that is because it’s very embaressing and inconvenient to them to have the funding exposed like this.

Obviously AIPAC etc. will never get the same scruitiny, but I’m not overly concerned with the hypocrisy angle, like what doesn’t do that’s not a hypocracy, there’s no way this wouldn’t have made it main stream eventually and I don’t get why these orgs weren’t more transparent to their members, I would imagine the DSA has never gotten a donation of a million or over before, you would think that would be significant enough to warrant being open about it

If you look it’s definitely him, he posted a shirtless picture of himself today “trying to be the first communist to represent America in the olympics” I think he also does the socials for the midwesternmarx twitter account

would link nitter, but I think they’re broken today

Ik nw only tagged you if you wanted to read the venezuelanalysis article

It’s just too long, I put the link where it cuts off and the last sentence to convey the charges being dropped,

Here’s a https://venezuelanalysis.com/news/15818 (pro Bolivarian) source I found @ButtBidet@hexbear.net too if you want a different source

I checked telesur and they didnt have anything on this, but I’ll look at venezuelanalysis too next time, there’s only so much you can do in terms of articles especially only using English, I’m sure there was a lot of local coverage in Spanish

man risked it (and lost it) all for a secret 2nd wife marriage registration, the things people will do for a piece of paper

(He was already scared of the embassey, but someone working there called him and told him they were cool now and he trusted it enough to go in)

According to Cluster Munition Monitor 2022, the list of 16 countries that refuse to sign the convention and produce cluster munitions included Brazil, China, Egypt, Greece, Iran, Israel, India, North Korea, Pakistan, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, the United States and Turkey.

Ukraine is also not a signatory but doesnt make them

For context these countries both make them and don’t ban them and both Ukraine and Russia have used them already in this war, Ukraine was probably just running out of their Soviet era stock of them that they inherited from the dissolution

And obviously all landmine and landmine adjacent weapons are indiscriminate and kill decades after they were placed, one of the most evil weapons out there
