Taliban seeks international aid for Afghanistan’s reconstruction
  • And should everyone, including the women, face starvation because they're controlled by misogynists?

    Oh, or should they spontaneously develop feminism without the material basis for the formation of a feminist movement?

  • Trump said to lift all military restrictions on Israel on 1st day in office according to reports
  • what they then choose to do with it is on them, not us.

    Why do you believe this? Don't people have a responsibility to not give weapons to people knowing they will be used for genocide?

    Also, us? Are you part of the Biden admin?

  • The End of American Exceptionalism
  • The US isn't a democracy though, it is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, where every election we get to select which group of oppressors will wield state power against us until the next one.

    Also decline is caused by anticolonial resistance and the logic of capitalism breaking down. I would suggest reading Lenin's "imperialism" and Fanon's "wretched of the earth"

  • Trump said to lift all military restrictions on Israel on 1st day in office according to reports
  • What do you call giving weapons with the knowledge that they will be used for genocide?

    Does the recipient obviously lying "oh they'll just be used for defense" while they continue to commit genocide with previous shipments of weapons give the democrats plausible deniability in your book?

  • Pentagon stunned by Trump's nomination of Fox News host as defense secretary
  • Youre correct that there was a purge of military in Nazi Era Germany, but beyond that you kind of misunderstand the very collaborationist relationship that the nazis and the existing military industrial apparatus. I would really suggest reading The Economy and Class Structure of German Fascism by Alfred Sohn-Rethel for a little bit of a contextualization of why what you're saying is kinda surface level analysis. Separately I'd recommend Fascism and Social Revolution by R. Palme Dutt.

  • Pentagon stunned by Trump's nomination of Fox News host as defense secretary
  • I've read a lot of stuff on the development of the military industrial complex in Germany and fascism's relationship to it both while it was gaining power and had power and I'm not seeing any parallels, could you explain?

  • Read Theory, Darn it! An Introductory Reading List for Marxism-Leninism
  • Fair enough. There are plenty of cool folks to learn from in both orgs, I just don't think there structure and orientation toward the more advanced sections of the working class really align with historical lessons.

  • Read Theory, Darn it! An Introductory Reading List for Marxism-Leninism
  • Go join DSA and apply to Red Star or MUG once you have some experience and leadership. Successful struggle generally takes place within mass parties, even if and because the mass parties start off with a lower level of consciousness.

    Now is an important time as the national leadership is basically split between relatively cool factions and social democrats with Trots making up deciding votes. The convention is this Summer, and right now the right wing has lost a lot of credibility in the eyes of membership after licking the boot of the unsuccessful kamala campaign. If you want to make a difference in turning the biggest instrument for channeling growing class consciousness back into democrat support into something that genuinely engages in class struggle, now is a critical time to engage.

  • Read Theory, Darn it! An Introductory Reading List for Marxism-Leninism
  • PSL and FRSO are bad picks. They do not share a structure common with successful revolutions- a smaller demcent vanguard party within a larger mass organization with internal democracy. If you want to recreate the bolsheviks, you need to find your Russian Social Democratic labor party, which means joining other MLs in struggling within DSA.

    Any attack on a space asset of the DPRK will be considered a declaration of war

    Press Statement by Spokesman for DPRK Ministry of National Defence Pyongyang, December 2 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK released the following press statement "Any attack on space asset of the DPRK will be deemed declaration of war against it" on Saturday:

    The brigandish nature of the U.S., which regards it as its main lever for realizing its hegemonic wild ambition to commit outrageous and unlawful military intervention against sovereign countries, has been brought to light more clearly, occasioned by the DPRK's reconnaissance satellite launch.

    An official concerned of the U.S. Space Command recently spouted rubbish hinting at a military attack on the DPRK's reconnaissance satellite, saying that the U.S. can decrease the enemy country's outer space operation capabilities by employing diverse "reversible and irreversible methods".

    American military affairs experts comment that the U.S. Space Force can physically destroy not only opponent's satellite and satellite earth station but also get rid of enemy state's space force through jamming and virus-using cyber attack.

    The U.S. Space Force's deplorable hostility toward the DPRK's reconnaissance satellite can never be overlooked as it is just a challenge to the sovereignty of the DPRK, and more exactly, a declaration war against it.

    Article 8 of the "Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies", the main international outer space treaty, stipulates that any object launched into outer space definitely falls under the jurisdiction of the launcher state and the ownership of it never changes no matter it remains in outer space or returned to the earth.

    This means that the reconnaissance satellite "Malligyong-1" is a part of the territory of the DPRK where its sovereignty is exercised.

    Furthermore, reconnaissance satellite is not regarded as a space weapon by international law for its technical features aimed at observation.

    If the reconnaissance satellite of the DPRK is regarded by the U.S. as a "military threat" that must be gotten rid of, countless spy satellites of the U.S. flying above the Korean peninsula region every day, exclusively tasked with monitoring the major strategic spots of the DPRK, should be deemed the primary targets to be destroyed by the armed forces of the DPRK.

    By openly unveiling its aggression scheme to mount a military attack on a space asset of other sovereign country, a part of its properties and territory, the U.S. has proved itself its true colors as the chief culprit of evils seeking to realize its wild ambition for dominating the world by turning outer space, common wealth of humankind, into a theater of war.

    It is the mission of the armed forces of the DPRK, specified by its constitution and other laws, to exercise their war deterrent to protect the state sovereignty and territorial integrity in case a lethal military attack is carried out against the country's strategic assets or it is judged that such attack is imminent.

    In case the U.S. tries to violate the legitimate territory of a sovereign state by weaponizing the latest technologies illegally and unjustly, the DPRK will consider taking responsive action measures for self-defence to undermine or destroy the viability of the U.S. spy satellites by exercising its legitimate rights vested by international and domestic laws. -0- www.kcna.kp (Juche112.12.2.)

    The US military can't use a 110 million dollar drone base in Niger

    The US military cannot conduct drone operations from a base in Niger because the country’s military junta has closed its airspace.

    They lied about Iraq. They lied about Afghanistan. Now they're lying about Ukraine.

    www.salon.com They lied about Afghanistan. They lied about Iraq. Now they're lying about Ukraine

    Russia's invasion was a war crime. That's no excuse for the disastrous, destructive path of endless war

    They lied about Afghanistan. They lied about Iraq. Now they're lying about Ukraine

    The far left of the US' overton arrow slit is backtracking on the war now. https://youtu.be/jpUN0q35Lak

    Mainstream US news backsliding on the Ukraine war narrative is pretty newsworthy.
