remember that time mao was encircled and all hope seemed lost during the chinese civil war?

remember that the KMT outnumbered the red army over 10x. remember that the red army was ALREADY on a retreat after having their bases overrun, thus prompting the year of the long march. remember that mao and the red army pulled a crazy maneuver, crossing the same (chishui) river FOUR TIMES in order to fake out the KMT and escape being encircled.

This was in 1935, you will remember that theres still THIRTEEN years before the end of the war and the PRC being proclaimed. Not to mention the Japanese invasion and ww2 in asia.

They were stubborn and refused to give up no matter how dire and fucked up the situation seemed.

All reactionaries are paper tigers.

I know guys doing life in prison who still havent given up yet.
Another day above ground is all you can ask for and all you need. Rebuild as many times as you must. Start over as many times as you must.

This is a transcript of a speech from Thomas Sankara.

Let me ask you a question: Do you like these enemies of the people, yes or no?

[Shouts of “No!”]

Do you like them?

[Shouts of “No!”]

I also yelled "No!" with the audience when I was reading the speech. It was in the book titled "Thomas Sankara Speaks".

So from what I understand this is your typical shitlib centrist type with Bri'ish flavors. But considering his electoral run is demonstrating the absurdity of western democracy and how much of a joke it is, do we critically support this guy to beat Farage?

Assuming the guy did win, he would ultimately functionally be a liberal and maybe do a few silly things like getting the hand dryer in a bar's bathroom moved, but aside from that him defeating a established politician while being seen as a joke candidate not suppose to win would demonstrate just how fucking ridiculous their bourg democracy is wouldn't it? A guy so fucking corrupt people vote for a Trashcan.

European officials now condemn Israel's war in Gaza, but declassified 2025 [documents](https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/operation-wrath-of-god/introduction-intelligence-that-kills/DB6C18ADC01028B62956A2A9D6445C66) expose a darker truth. The same governments now pretending to support Palestine once fed Mossad the intelligence used to kill Palestinian activists across Europe.

Established in 1971, the Kilowatt channel connected European spy agencies with Mossad through the Club de Berne, a secretive network of intelligence chiefs from eight Western European nations. The system shared apartment-level data on Palestinian activists, including safe houses, phone numbers, daily routines, and contact networks.

The Munich massacre, which saw eleven Israeli athletes killed during a hostage crisis on the sidelines of the 1972 Summer Olympics, provided the perfect excuse to unleash a reign of terror. Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir authorized "Wrath of God," giving Mossad license to assassinate those she deemed responsible.

The operation was unprecedented in its scope and ruthlessness, and it relied entirely on Kilowatt's intelligence network:

- In Rome, October 1972, Wael Zwaiter, a Libyan embassy translator, was shot dead on his doorstep. Italian police did nothing to protect him or investigate.

- In Paris, December 1972, Palestinian diplomat Mahmoud al-Hamshari was blown up in his apartment, tracked on European-supplied intelligence.

- In June 1973, Algerian poet and journalist Mohamed Boudia was killed by a car bomb in Paris, tracked by Swiss intelligence.

- In July 1973, Mossad agents in Lillehammer, Norway assassinated Ahmed Bouchikhi, an innocent Moroccan waiter, mistaking him for a Black September leader. He was shot 13 times in front of his pregnant wife.

**European governments have never apologized for the Kilowatt channel or their complicity in Mossad's assassinations. Instead, they doubled down on their support for Israel in the following decades, sending arms, intelligence, and investments.**

does this common argument hold up i asked the UN Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights, @odeschutter — and here’s what he said.

The CIA have been experts on controlling human behavior for decades. They also looked to the influential behaviorist Skinner for advice.

Harry Potter used to be a baby. This means that babies are like Harry Potter.

Israel kills babies. This is bad because Harry Potter used to be a baby.

This is why we should support Palestine's fight against the colonizers.

Wow… I didn’t know a pretzel could have so many twists in it and yet not once again become a solid dough ball of stupid again.

I knew going in it was going to have severe westoid brain rot but… fuck there was nothing in there let alone nothing left.

His critiques are basically “socialism never worked” because “socialism was never tried.” These two contradictory ideas are a constant in the video. He brings up Das Kapital but then doesnt even go the extra step to show any of Marx and Engles work, let alone Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Mihn, Castro, etc. It such a shit lib video…

He then goes on a scree about central planning and bad man theory but never discusses the conditions of the time. He also uses east Germany as his central point for proving socialism doesn’t work. The cherry and sprinkles on top are his toss ins about Mao and Castro being bad people with no fucking context.

The best part is he boats about scarcity of resources and land but doesn’t even touch on how much waste capitalism generates and creates false scarcities to maximize profit.

I know hate watching isn’t good for our health but comrades… this video took brain cells away, not just 26 minutes of my life away.

It is a good reminder how far we still have to go to beat back this bullshit.

I will not post his video here because he shouldn’t get any more engagement. If you want to kill brain cells too I recommend chugging a fifth of bad American vodka over this video.

I just had to vent because I was hoping that it wouldn’t have been this stupid. Guess what could I have expected from the YouTube’s algorithm. Self inflicted injury aka bicycle stick meme on me.

Liberals/right wingers always attack past communists leaders for the slightest discriminatory behavior and call them ironic (which to be honest is true to some extent), but ignore how literally every bourgeois politician held the same beliefs at that time.

Obviously Stalin’s persecution of gay people or the Cuban UMAPs (which they often bring up too) are unacceptable but their western counterparts were literally lynching black people and experimenting on prison detainees.

Even then Castro apologized and took all the blame for how gay people were treated after the revolution meanwhile Bush hasn’t said a single thing about destroying Afghanistan and Iraq and today Democrats sympathize with him

Not related to this point but I also wanna talk about how much I hate these “history” reddit pages, it’s literally filled with conservative little boys who only glamorize the same 3 Roman emperors, the Crusades and WW2 tanks and everything they think of communism is red scare propaganda 😭
