Meh, I think this is just a warning to India that they need to stay within the lines to continue the benefits of being a junior partner to the empire. And given Modi’s history, I think they’ll probably heed it, even against their own economic interests.

Wow. Just. Wow.

I think the author overstates the case for China/Russia getting involved and understates how much damage a 2-week sustained air campaign can do to Iranian civilian infrastructure.

I also think the author understates the cost to the US of a 2-week sustained air campaign considering their severely limited stocks.

This is leftists in-fighting at it’s finest. A whole new organization, created a week ago, comes out swinging at PSL, which has been operating for years, because they understand the role China is playing in the world.

–

Tell me your organization doesn’t understand theory without telling me your organization doesn’t understand theory.

China today has a state-capitalist economy

No comment needed there.

In addition to these errors, all of these organizations suffer from chronic bureaucratism and are isolated from the masses, not applying the mass line and therefore not acting in accord with the masses material needs and desires.

Oh do they? Really? I have no experience of the PSL falling afoul of this critique. This was written by an MLM malding and demanding that everyone abandon a multi-year project for something that started yesterday because of ideological purity.

Firstly, to create a party of a new type.

Ugh. Why? On the basis of what theory? Where has this new type been successful anywhere in the world anytime in history?

We are building a party which understands the needs of its members

Not different.

and empowers them to act in a democratic manner

Not different.

We seek to build an organization which operates in a manner free from the bureaucracy of the previous organizations of the American communist movement through accountability structures that flow from the bottom of the organization, a Marxist psychology based in historical materialism, and a revolutionary application of the mass line in all fields of struggle.

Meaningless drivel. You can’t establish bottom-up accountability without a formal structure. All successful revolutions have been Democratic Centralist. This creates bottom-up accountability through formal structure. If you want to do something else, you’ve got a MASSIVE amount of theory work to do.

Secondly, to advocate and develop a living Marxism. This will be a Marxism which is, in all ways, free from the chains that impeded previous implementations of Marxism — dogmatism, revisionism, and adventurism. This will be a Marxism which, through informed practice, develops in accord with modern demands and the needs of the working class. This will be a Marxism which in all capacities upholds the principle “ruthless criticism of all that exists.”

It is only through this path that the US communist movement can be reborn into a force which is truly effective against the capitalist system.

Yeah. So, you’re just upset that the PSL wouldn’t let you be a leader and required a full year of vetting, aren’t you? This is meaningless bluster. We don’t need yet another ML/MLM split.

Well, now that Russia is occupying an American lithium field, maybe the US will say Russia is attacking the US.

I wonder if the whole point of the mineral deal with Ukraine was to create a new cassus belli

The question is not whether or not there are charges. The question is WHAT are the charges. It seems unlikely that people were charged for being queer.

Oh yeah, I got spam bombed by one but also got harassed by a few others.

Unsolicited abusive DMs - such a common trope among reactionaries

Love that libs are down voting actual truth because it comes from RT instead of BBC

Punch a tree until it falls. Make an axe out of wood. Use it to chop more trees down. Find shelter for the night. Build a crafting table. Wait until sunrise. Run around until I find sheep. Kill them for wool. Make a bed.

Ok cool. I was confused

And this is why you are ignorant

Yeah, fuckers, it’s using statistics. And it turns out, when you spend a century downplaying all of the state violence and massacres you perpetrate domestically and globally, it’s going to pick up on that and use it.

Even worse though is how much this entire article and framing itself is Western propaganda. They take as a given that the only words that should be used are these particular words and use that standard to judge the output of the LLM. They’re either entirely lacking in self awareness of their brazen hypocrisy or they are ideological fanatics without a shred of decency or shame.

Brandt’s remarks are a reminder that many Social Democrats are still reluctant to embrace the country’s “Zeitenwende” — a historic turning point — on defence, which former SPD chancellor Olaf Scholz declared in the wake of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Wow what weasely writing. The Social Democrats don’t want to build up another German military-industrial nightmare and the press says they are still reluctant to embrace austerity in favor of world war.

Well. The social democrats are going to lose, like they always do in an economic crisis, and many will die because of it.

But red jalapenos aren’t a varietal. Jalapenos turn red when they ripen. Green jalapenos are just under ripe. This is much like the colors of bell peppers.

Do you get this paranoid when you see an article from the BBC?

No one thought we would notice that he correctly spelled ignominious? Cracks are forming in the ranks. This was clearly written by a disgruntled copywriter hoping to undermine Trump.

Oh fuck I didn’t even read the rest of your drivel.

Japan was LITERALLY NEGOTIATING SURRENDER when the US nuked two civilian cities.

WW2, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Iranian coup, death squads in Latin America

What are you even taking about?
