I like anarchists (sort of), they’re often decent people at a personal level with an intuition that something is wrong with capitalism, but Stalin was obviously right: they’re useful idiots and undermine revolutionary transformation. Good book by the way.

Fascist and liberal double standards are the same thing. Lula is a better option for Brazilians than criminal thugs like the Bolsonaro family, but he's no problem for the empire, let alone Brazil's capitalist class.
So now Lula (80), "the great survivor", as won four elections and "makes history" (well done, Lula). But Daniel Ortega (80), who has won four elections in Nicaragua, is a "dictator". How so? economist.com/the-americas/2…

Nothing bothers me more than incoherent liberals who think every form of state enforcement means something is non-democratic. There is nothing here that contradicts liberal democracy. If anything its a reassertion of it!

I've said it before but worth repeating, the fact that the Korean People's Army is fighting NATO backed forces on European soil does not get the appreciation it deserves. 🇰🇵

Gente, esse lance de vocês quererem humanizar a "direita não bolsonarista" é o maior tiro pela culatra.
Isso é tudo farinha do mesmo saco, bolsonaro só foi um doido pra externalizar o que eles pensam pq justamente tentam passar essa imagem de "limpinho/tradicionais"

They keys to the stability and future of West Asia are in Iran's hands; this war has exposed the Islamic Republic as an absolute global and regional powerhouse. It is such a joy to think of all the Zionist wankers watching this filled with envy, trepidation, and chagrin

Despite how happy I am for Brazil, the hypocrisy of the international applause is hard to ignore. The same actors cheering Lula’s 4th term called Chávez a dictator for it and vilified PSUV for “human rights abuses” while turning a blind eye to Lula’s troops committing rape and war crimes in Haiti. Lula is afforded their sympathy because he maintained neoliberal economics, played nice with Noboa and Jolani, blocked Venezuela from BRICS, and aligned with U.S. intervention abroad. This election result is, without a doubt, a victory for the sovereignty of Latin America against egregious election interference. But not all those applauding are cheering for our sovereignty. And, as yet another Latin American country joins U.S. mercenaries in Haiti, it’s pretty gross that certain ‘human rights activists’ (especially the Latin American pachamama libs) ignore the stain on humanity that was MINUSTAH simply because it was in service of the U.S. interests.

Excellent point. Amazing that Brazil has fought against a right-wing, tech-backed Bolsonarist government forming this time.
But imperialist intervention in Latin America cannot be stopped through social democracy and electoral politics alone. True liberation also cannot come at the expense of oppressing another group of people—as we saw with Brazil's actions in Haiti.
Those who applauded Lula but demonised Chávez or Maduro only did so because they view him as a tool to maintain regional stability within the Western sphere. They do not actually care about Latin American sovereignty.

We are relieved at Lula’s re-election only as a necessary bulwark against intensified fascism and hegemonic empire. But we know better than to be uncritical: this is far, far from true principled opposition to the west so sorely needed right now.

La victoria de la izquierda -que siempre es la izquierda del capital- es una victoria de la contrarrevolución burguesa sobre la clase obrera, en detrimento de su independencia como clase. El proletariado no tiene nada que ganar en las urnas: solo fuerza y organización que perder.

"A call for any invasion of Cuba will be met with insurrectional uprisings and a total paralysis of economic activity in this hemisphere.
Let everyone who considers themselves a friend of Cuba—or claims to be one—express their militant and active solidarity in this way."
"Rather Tehran than Caracas." This is a highly recommended: an article [in Spanish] by Frank Solar in Cuban alternative outlet @latizzadecuba on the issue of anti-imperialist resistance

O que está acontecendo hoje na Bahia nunca foi visto antes em nenhuma eleição.
Retiraram os ônibus, cortaram a energia de toda Salvador, pessoas do interior sendo coagidas e impedidas de irem votar.
É um dos maiores escândalos eleitorais dos últimos anos.

Eric Li argues that countries fail when they copy Western political models.
It’s a controversial take. If voting can be manipulated by foreign entities, swayed by entertainment over policy, and if 'installed puppets' are the norm...
Then, is the Western model working as intended?
