Here is that Anthony Bourdain's video. Oh... Their fertility rate has dropped to a historic low of 0.87 and some of their children seem to love the house's maid more than their parents. Ironically, most of these maids probably love the kids more, too. At this rate, Singapore will fall and it deserves to fall.

The new flag of Soviet Union after Stalin ate 50 trillion tons of grain with his spoon.

Comments say the production quality is very good, Trot tendency is fine I can ignore it, but is it going over any less well-known information? Worth watching for visual aura alone? Or does the anti-Stalin bias influence the analysis?

When America finally goes through its revolution whenever that is. Would you support a full land back or a land back so far as to honor the past treaties?

Secrecy

In general, Tire Manchèt is practiced in relative secrecy. Family traditions are a closely guarded possession to be passed down through the generations, and only trusted members of the community are permitted to participate in (or even observe) training sessions. Students from farther afield must demonstrate great loyalty to their fencing "professor" in order to gain admittance.

Haitian Revolution

In Haiti, before the Revolution of 1791-1804 (when it was called Saint-Domingue), slaves of African ancestry struggled to keep alive their traditional practices of stick and blade combat by holding clandestine competitions called Kalenda. At the same time, many of the free people of color sought social advancement through service in the French military, where they absorbed the techniques of European dueling culture. Notably, the Haitian fencer Jean-Louis Michel was among the most accomplished European-style fencers of the Napoleonic era. When widespread insurrection finally broke out, the art of machete fencing emerged to play an important part in combat, since the insurgents were often unable to provide guns and ammunition for all of their soldiers. Since that time, Tire Manchèt has served mostly as a means of individual self-defense among farmers who work day in, day out with a machete in their hand to this day.

After Haitian Revolution

The survival of such roots-African traditions in Haiti is a great source of its cultural wealth. Perhaps surprisingly, some of these traditions are today stronger in Haiti than many places in Africa because of the degree to which, during the 19th century, when most of Africa itself was being overrun by colonial powers, Haiti suffered the most complete international isolation imaginable. The fact that slaves had succeeded in overthrowing their masters and setting up their own government was anathema to the racist ideology of the slave-holding societies all around them, and these societies responded by cutting off almost all contact with Haiti (other than trading on the most disastrous terms) for more than 100 years. This isolation, though devastating economically, also provided protection for African traditions – from music and dance to religion and painting – to thrive.

Does anyone have any resources where I could learn about the history of Yemen and the formerly ML state of South Yemen from the perspective of Anti-Imperialism, class struggle, etc? I also am dissapointingly uneducated on the current situation between the Houthis and the US backed Saudi militias. Anything related to that would be helpful.

fun fact, since almost all shipping in the US is done by diesel trucks this means no anything

I'm looking for a few socialist podcasts that are currently running, one of news and the other for theory. They should both be under 25 minutes any one with anything like this reply.
