  • Venezuela Approves Pro-Business Oil Reform as Trump Issues New Sanctions Waiver - Venezuelanalysis

    Jump

  • we learn from history, how else? amerika isn't the first empire, god willing it will be the last. all empires have been defeated, the british, the french, the spanish, to name but a few of the previous heirs to the throne of the most powerful empire of all time. they were not any less brutal or fascist or dominant compared to the tools of resistance the people had at their disposal back then. but people resisted nonetheless and the people won. it wasn't easy then and it won't be easy now. but it can be done. i'll ask you, what else is there to be done? for each nation to just...lie down and accept colonialism? once again? is that why the tricontinent suffered and fought and resisted for centuries? to return to being oppressed?

  • Iran says if attacked militarily, its response will not be “limited” : Peoples Dispatch

    Jump

  • I don't know why Iran is still trying to maintain a 'civilian-use only' nuclear policy. That time is gone. The world where that promise could've save them is gone. Look at what happened to Venezuela. Look at what is happening to Cuba. Look at how they are trying to militarily and economically coerce and strangle the entire world, allies and enemies. Build the weapon. It is the only way you will be safe. You are already sanctioned. Build the weapon and then FORCE your allies and partners to build together an alternative economic system to get around the sanctions and tariffs. That is the only way. Maybe only one or two sanctioned nations will agree at first, but that would be a start. It would be a leap of faith. But others would join. They would have to. It is the only way.

  • BCNDP is basically just the Liberal party (which is non-existent in the province) which is basically just the same as the old federal Conservative Party, i.e. they pretend to be progressive on social issues, as long as they don't have to actually do anything. The problem is the provincial and federal Conservatives are batshit insane psychos who want Trump to annex Canada (and they almost won). The truly progressive provincial party is the Greens - their new leader is very cool (1 2) Federally, the NDP are going through a race to select a new leader so we'll see how it turns out.

  • Mexico’s President Responds to Trump’s Threats Against Sending Oil to Cuba

    Jump

  • This is exactly what I fear.

    Mexico CANNOT fall to the threat of economic pressure. It must find ways to unite with other nations in the region and beyond - politically, socially, economically, militarily if need be - this is the moment of truth. Venezuela has already fallen. Do we let Cuba fall? Or do we stand united. Do we say no to US aggression. America is strong but it cannot take on all of us. If we fail this moment then all the countries will fall one by one like dominoes.

  • It's gonna get extremely bleak here in the Americas for a while. The US is resorting to overt military force to maintain its hegemony. In the long term, this is bad for the US (and good for those of us wishing the end of empire). But in the time span of human life, especially of the next couple of decades - things are not good. Latin American countries need to realize what this danger is and act right now, in unison with other powers of the world to safeguard their interest to ensure what happens to Venezuela (and potentially Iran and Cuba which are the next likely targets) does not happen to others. There is no USSR - Russia is bogged down, far too bogged down than I think anyone expected. And China has focused far too much on defence and long-term economic planning to be able to change (not even sure if it would want to). The only option is for countries that do seek an alternate, independent path free from US influence, to help each other - and for those of us in countries currently ruled by regimes where that is NOT happening, to push for that to be the case. For those of us in the US? Protect your communities - things are going to get worse.

  • The Amount of New Solar Power Production Capacity China Is Manufacturing Is Legitimately Mind-Blowing

    Jump

  • there really is something going on - i feel amerikkka realized that they CANNOT compete with china on the new industrial/energy frontier so they've just given up and are hoarding the old one (oil) and building up a fortress mentality. europe is stuck in the middle - it would traditionally side with amerika but trump's tariffs, greenland, nato, russia etc have all made it much more insecure re:its own existence. so it could possibly also side with the rising east. as people living in the imperial core, life for us is gonna get rough (but ofc theres possibility of revolt). hope for the rest of the world tho.

    Jump

  • They wanted it to go one way and it doesn’t. And to them, that means “it’s ruined”. They need to realize if it’s not “their” event, then yeah, they shouldn’t get to decide how it should go, even if it’s not to their liking.

  • Ethan Klein vs Hasanabi.

    Jump

  • he doesn't exactly seem to use it on anything relating to his principles either

    In the aftermath of the Turkey–Syria earthquake, Piker organized a fundraiser that raised over $1,200,000 for charities such as CARE International's Turkish and Syrian branches as well as two Turkish NGOs: the AKUT Search and Rescue Association, and Ahbap, which was founded by Turkish musician Haluk Levent.

    During the Israel–Hamas war, Piker's charity drive on his channel raised over $1,000,000, as of October 21, 2023, for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, American Near East Refugee Aid, Medical Aid for Palestinians, and the Palestinian Red Crescent Society.

    His merchandise line, Ideologie, is union made, with profits going to strike funds.

    He was also the biggest individual donor to the Amazon Labor Union, just behind organizations like the ACLU.

    There's way more, but this is the stuff I remember from the top of my head. He also frequently collaborates with and interviews people and orgs that would otherwise have no platform or voice - like organizers during the student encampments earlier this summer (which he also visited and supported), the Yemeni teen accused of being a terrorist, Palestinian journalists etc.

  • "Degrowth Communism" will lead to political disaster for both the socialist left and the environmental movement

    Jump

  • Thank you for that. I'd heard so much good stuff about Saito before this article, which is why I was so hesitant to trust that the author of this article was actually being genuine about Saito's work. And since reading the article and posting it here, I've gotten a lot of comments informing me of the article-writer's general opinions/tendencies, which make me distrust him even more.

    But I think you're the first person to actually critique the article itself, probably since you've actually read Saito! With this, I think now there is no part of this article that can be salvaged or defended. The author is trash, his general criticism of degrowth is trash, and his specific criticism of Saito is trash.

  • Yeah, I don't agree with all the points. And, as I said, I haven't read the literature on "degrowth" (I do have Saito's books, haven't gotten around to it). I was specifically interested in what the writers claimed were Saito's wrongful reinterpretations of Marx on things like historical materialism, and a new break in his thinking similar to the young and old Marx, etc etc. It's always so fascinating to me, how Marxists (and other leftists ofc) build such competing and conflicting theories arising from the same foundation, often using the same works.
