  • At this point the distinction between the US and "Israel" is in my view mostly irrelevant. Their interests are so aligned they function as one and the same entity. The US uses "Israel" for their global hegemonic ambitions which require control of the Middle East, while "Israel" uses the US for their regional hegemonic ambitions and ethno-religious expansionist crusade.

  • Assad isn't Shia, he's Alawite. That's why when the Takfiri terrorists took over Damascus the first thing they did is to go to the coastal Alawite regions and start butchering them.

    Sectarianism is the absolute stupidest, most self-defeating nonsense. It's the classic imperialist divide and conquer playbook. The fastest way to get your country destroyed by imperialists is to fall for this crap.

  • Maybe the Kiev Nazi junta should stop bombing the Donbass and committing ethnic cleansing.

    Imperial feminism in a time of war

  • Congratulations comrade! You and your fellow students are a ray of hope in these dark times!

    From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

  • Yeah. With this author you sometimes have to ignore/edit out some parts that suck. Can't expect non-Marxists to get it all right.

  • The West's new "international law":

    "When we do it, it's moral and justified. When they do it it's evil. Why? Because we 'instinctively feel' this."

    As Grasp on Power and Narrative Slips, West Re-Imagines Old Norms

  • Just give them a factual historical education and teach them to think critically about how the economy and society works under capitalism. Teach them to question narratives by questioning the interests of those who propagate them. That is the first step.

    Once someone has formed a solid understanding of how the world works beyond the lies told by liberal propaganda, they will eventually find their way to Marxist ideas, because only Marxism offers a coherent framework to explain what we observe.

    If you are too explicitly advocating for communism to students who are still caught in an idealist understanding of the world, you might end up being accused of trying to propagandize them.

    You have to remember that many of them come with pre-conceived ideas that will be heavily reinforced by their families.

    So my advice would be to view yourself as laying the foundation, not as the person who will necessarily "convert" them.

    (Though, if some show an interest and aptitude to learn more, you can of course guide them further along and point them toward resources they can explore on their own time.)

  • The causal chain is fairly simple. The RSF are proxies of the UAE (and therefore of Israel). With the latter now busy with Iranian attacks they cannot afford the attention or resources to support their pet project in Sudan anymore.

    The RSF never had organic support in Sudan. They are genocidal, murderous maniacs despised by most of the Sudanese people. They have been armed, funded and propped up by imperialist interests just like ISIS was.

  • At this point anyone who says they are pro-Palestine while still supporting Ukraine is either lying or a moron.

  • Your choice is great. None of those cities have made as much progress as fast as Beijing has made compared to how things used to be there just 20 years ago. Even western media had to admit how drastic the difference in air quality is nowadays and how much of a success story Beijing has been in terms of cleaning up the environment. Even the water is so much cleaner nowadays and there are countless parks and green spaces. You can literally see it: https://english.beijing.gov.cn/specials/livablegreenbeijing/index.html

    It's one of the most liveable cities in the world now. I know a lot of westerners are infatuated with the more flashy, hyper-modern cities in China like Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chongqing, and so on, but for me the urban planning in Beijing is just on another level.

  • Probably. Anything but Google honestly, because Google is extremely curated to almost exclusively display pro-Western sources. Yandex is usually my go-to alternative.

    But the language you search in also makes a big difference. Even on Baidu if you search in English you will probably get a lot of English language results, and English language sources are going to be dominated by a pro-Western bias.

    Yes there are good sources to be found in English too but the numbers are stacked against you with so much garbage out there in the Anglophone media. On politically charged topics i mean.

    Whereas when i search in Russian on Yandex for example, i get a set of results with noticeably less of them reflecting the Western narratives. It's just a matter of overcoming the language barrier, which is fortunately not too difficult nowadays.

    And of course you are more likely to get serious scientific articles if you search the actual scientific journals and academic publications rather than some propaganda piece put out by an NGO or a think tank.

  • In that case the best advice i can give is to get a good translation software so you can read Chinese academic papers, because the best resources you can find are all written in Chinese. Good English language sources are hard to find, since there is a big anti-China bias in the West even in academia.

  • You could try going through a proxy of some sort next time if it's an ISP block. They blocked RT where i live, but it's pretty trivial to circumvent.

  • Actually there is a ton of scientific literature on this topic especially from Chinese academia. I had to stop myself from going too deep down the rabbit hole because i'd be giving you far too many specialized papers to read otherwise.
