Netanyahu is from Philadelphia. He can easily go back there.

Inshalla Hamas will make sure he doesn’t leave

Colonial settlers stealing land from indigenous populations and participating in ethnic cleansing are NOT “innocent civilians”. They are free to leave the war zone they created anytime they like. For Palestinians, this is homeland defense.

They are attempting to separate the SS from the official Third Reich by distinguishing as a paramilitary force distinct from the Wermacht. This is only true in the most technical superficial sense. In reality, the Wermacht were invading most of Europe while the SS were literally facilitating the holocaust in all occupied territories.

The German ambassador to Canada literally participated in a standing ovation to an actual veteran of the Waffen SS

I mean, that’s just Marxism

I have this on a shirt, I love it

Hmm I think he is right to criticize these types of policies that are still held by Columbia even under Petro, but I wonder if his insults against the man are too harsh? Petro seems like a breath of fresh air for Columbia in many ways even though he’s far from perfect. Either way, sandinistas are incredibly based and I’m inclined to believe Ortega’a analysis in general

Small correction, he was indeed a Marxist but he was a member of the more moderate Socialist Party, not the Communist Party.

We didn’t have much chance to discuss it in depth. He was hosting a local event where selected speakers take about 5 minutes to speak on a subject they are passionate about and he invited me to speak. I told him I wanted to talk about ending the embargo on cuba (which I did) and he said, oh that’s ironic because I will be opening the event by celebrating our right to free speech and saying how my grandfather didn’t have that right in Cuba. We both laughed and agreed we onviously don’t agree on some things, then just focused on boring procedural stuff about the event. At the actual event he elaborated the details I included in op but not with the exact same words I chose

To be clear I don’t think he supports embargoes or sanctions and certainly doesn’t support war or invasions, but he just doesn’t like communism at all and believes a lot of misinformation about communist led governments

A guy I know, real nice guy but super liberal, was telling me how his Cuban grandfather suffered under Castro. Sure enough, when he got into more details, it turns out his grandfather was a wealthy landlord whose farmland got collectivized and he only had to go to jail after he got very vocal about trying to get people to oppose the revolution (in which he was very much the minority BTW, his own friend turned him in)

It’s not about ideology. It’s about providing an alternative to the hegemon. Seeing those who are usually imperialist running dogs now beginning to choose the alternative is a win.

Not defending Williamson here, but as a resident of TN I can say they are vastly different on most things. I know Williamson is no revolutionary, but she is nowhere near the repugnant reactionary that Blackburn is. Besides following their political careers in general, I’ve seen them both speak in my hometown and the difference is night and day.

Yeah I mean Kitty. To my knowledge, it seems like what did they did include of Kitty (and also Jean) was pretty much accurate, just missing a lot of background details. Kitty was an actual member of the Communist Party but she did eventually leave it, which would be why she wasn’t in it at the time of the Manhattan Project and the Oppenheimer hearing. Though, you’ll notice when she gets interrogated at the hearing she refuses to give up anything about the Party and turns all of the prosecutor’s rhetoric back against him. It reminded me of Paul Robeson’s famous testimony to the HUAC. Speaking to her earlier dedication to communism, she had actually tried to go fight in the Spanish Civil War with her previous husband but medical issues kept her from being able to make it. It seems as though his death in the war and the many failures of western communist parties disillusioned her from the cause, and I would assume the rising red scare culture didn’t help.

I still see it on there. But I barely understand how this site works to be honest. Am dum millenial here

I saw the movie today. If anyone’s wondering, it is pretty good for a Hollywood biopic

I’m on episode 4 out of 5 and it’s pretty good so far. I don’t know anything about Last Podcast’s political orientation, but I would say this is not explicitly Marxist content like many on Lemmygrad would prefer, but it does seem to be a good objective narration of history and I’m enjoying it
