Henry Luce to the Time art director: “Nah. Not good enough. Bring it back with his eyes devil red, just like that bowl of communist hellfire.”

Picks up the phone after: “Hey Dulles, wait til you see this cover I’m gonna let loose.”

“Any word on that drunken Senator from Minnesota who’s hellbent on that commie witch-hunt?”

Tax the fucking fuck out of the rich, firstly.

Disincentives greed and hoarding, which is the end game of capitalism.

At the same time heavily fund campaigns to mock and bully the rich. Not a Ferrari or Porsche should be without broken windows and flat tires. Hound all their residences until there’s no peace for those sociopathic criminals. Form flash mobs to terrorize golf courses.

Make it so they can’t give away their money quickly enough.

Just one tactic for creating socialism, heh….

I love this so much on two fronts:

Finally, the country that was especially revered by Che Guevara has offered and delivered really meaningful material help. Especially that historically the aid from the Soviet Union came with the stipulation that Cuba couldn’t advocate or participate in global communist revolution. China was more amenable.

And secondly BRICS is shaping up to be the long overdue, great international rebuke to the great bully of imperialist America. They’re forming bigger and bigger trade partnerships and mutual aid that will soon enough usurp America’s dominant influence in the world.

It’s the End of the American Empire…and I feel fine.

But mostly right now I’m elated for the people of Cuba. Who have endured so much due to the strangling American sanctions. And through it all not only persevered but thrived in many ways.

Caribbean rebels historically are very inspiring.

From Haiti to Cuba those revolutions reflected the strongest and most courageous human spirit.

Didn’t Barbados also recently demand reparations from France?

Need more of this.

Fidel and Che were right. There needed (needs) to be a solidarity block of central and South American countries against imperial US.

So afraid of people who aren’t Real Americans.

I mean, it seems these days that you can go to any small town across this hellhole country and encounter an immigrant/recent citizen from somewhere else - who might have different customs in eating, dressing, decorating, etc. What’s so scary, little boys?

Isn’t that what makes the world interesting, and something to celebrate?

Nope. These stunted adolescents insists on living in a fake dreamworld of conditioned nostalgia preening to make them believe their best days are behind them and that if we could only get these illegals out of here everything would be Aok again.

Can’t believe I’m allowing myself to believe in electoral politics again. Because of this.

But the difference this time…no really, Zohran’s movement, aligned with DSA and consisting of over 50k canvassers (which is staggering), is the thing that really makes me want to help push this over the top.

With a movement behind you comes leverage.

Thing is, he must be willing to mobilize it for massive rallies that will be needed to get the agenda across.

And, we have to make the billionaire scumbags fear us. And that means humongous Tax The Rich rallies.

But most effectively I think DSA must mobilize rallies outside of the meeting Zohran will have with “business leaders,” the NYPD, etc. Especially that those Wall Street criminals and oligarchs think they can siphon him off, basically tell him who’s boss. When they say or imply that he should be able to say, “look out the window down into the street; there are 20,000 people down there. They’re boss!”

They need to know We Are Many.

It really does seem like an incredible opportunity to finally realize some real socialism in this hellhole country.

Was just having this conversation last night with a friend as we were remarking to each other how mesmerizing dusk is with the summer fireflies.

When he said they didn’t exist out West where he grew up I was surprised.

Thought all along fireflies at dusk was one of the more enchanting parts of summer.

Bernie was St John The Baptist .

I dig this Zohran meme.

Hey Seuss Christ…we really do have an incredibly great opportunity in NYC to put socialism on the map. It’s gonna take us all to be involved. But it’s already changed the mood entirely.

Great stuff, thanks!

Recently read that Dinkins went to visit Fidel Castro. Love that!

Thanks, comrade.

Wonder how spread out their terms were, and the period context.

That Dinkins really ran as a socialist - and won - is blowing my mind. That’s the late 80’s hellscape.

Would be the greatest, sweetest irony that a brain drain here could turn Cuba into the greatest socialist country in the world, a Mecca for folks tired of the capitalist soul-suck.

Who are the others, besides La Guardia?

Just heard about this.

And if your The Mayo a complete mimicking of his gestures and facial expressions.

These fucking ghouls spend more time with public relations goons staring into the mirror to make sure they pass the class.

It’s absolutely so fucking gross.

Been going on for so long too. Mossad and NYPD thug brothers working together.

And of course the Zionist tentacles include all politicians. Who are immediately feted by the official Israeli public relations clowns who roll out the red carpet for trips and all kinds of perks. Guaranteed on every hotel bed I bet is a list of Talking Points they must remember and are fed constantly throughout their congressional terms.

Just witness Gillibrand’s complete hysterical meltdown in Neoliberal poster boy Brian Lehrer’s NPR show. Of which was probably set up by AIPAC to provide the caller to read off all the state Islamophobia and predictable other attacks on Zohran, teed up for her to swing hard at.
