He is also a refugee white settler fleeing Algeria when independence happened. France should’ve let him drown in the Mediterranean

Said founder is also from a long line of settlers in Algeria who moved back to France when he was 9 when independence occurred. Sounds like a lovely family. He also used to be a Trot so one more for the pipeline. The org tried fucking up the Olympic torch in China btw. Just complete clowns

Everyone wants to be FAIR, but for fascists. Though FAIR actually treats them as a respectable outlet and cites their “freedom” rankings only occasionally challenging them so make of that what you will.

Reporters without borders hates her so that is probably a good sign

Thank god. These reformist types will forever fetishize the process of voting. They all want to be rugged individualists.

Yeah China enduring is not much comfort if the hegemony does not fall. The third world needs liberated, not continued oppression with some mitigation here and there.

It is crazy to me how well the idea that old Soviet equipment is trash and was always trash and worthless. I was listening to an ep of CornerSpati and they certainly have the occasional European brainworms, but it was kinda crazy how simplistically they wrote off the use of surplus soviet tanks during the offer of German replacements for soviet tanks which would then be sent to Ukraine.

It is like the Nazi efficiency, Asiatic hordes inefficient thing never really went away and otherwise leftist people eat it up. Not saying they are preferable to modern tanks, but they worked well enough and still work if you have the parts. This equipment is more useful than ever in that tank v tank battles are next to non-existent.

Dipshit does not even know the difference between biggest tank battle of WW1 and “first tank battle”. Cambrai was the biggest, it was not the first tank v tank fight. That was 2nd Villers-Bretonneux. Not a big thing, but fucker wants to be a pedant but can’t fact check.

Also this whole thing reads like a high schooler who bullies everyone saying that the school hates them cause they want to be like them. It is so fucking obvious and their obliviousness is hysterical.

Also if what German tank developers don’t know is not worth knowing, then why the fuck did they lose WW2?

How the fuck is that a contradiction? That is the entire goal of capitalism

He had one, then decided he would be his own successor after already being succeeded.

I never knew about that coup. Too bad it failed, seems like such a cool flashpoint. Chavez inspired military units and the biggest indigenous organization fighting together

They really undid the coup all for Evo to essentially fuck his own party over because of ego and personal beef? Fucking hell

people have already disproven it, but one thing I want to note is that there is no way Burkina Faso would be advocating for free passage between any African country anytime soon. That is a recipe for saboteurs and sowing dissent. It would probably be decades of full, stable, socialist development before something like that was feasible.

If anyone wants to hear Du Bois speak including about the Niagara Movement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKXglS90qn4

He is such a funny dry witted speaker. " I was criticized as being bitter, as seeking not simply political but social equality for Negroes, for favoring the teachings of Karl Marx, and for joining the Socialist Party… these accusations were true" always kills me. He is so optimistic and hopeful about the 21st century and the future of communism. Amazing thinking about this man born in 1868, the child of slaves, witnessing Sputnik be announced, seeing communism first hand in multiple countries. His life crossed from slavery to witnessing the start of the total emancipation of humanity and he was going to support it however he could

His old New Englander accent is lovely

So the only period when those in power in France are actually good? Well not till '91 but you get my point

I hope they on the down low merge with Scargill’s “Socialist Labour Party” cause it has like 300 members, but just legacy wise I want Scargill in on this somehow

It is difficult to be certain of their number, and reported figures have varied. For the pro-Jewish group of deserters, one article put the number at twelve, while a Jewish veterans’ association estimated that there were around 20. 2 We have identified 17 deserters by name, all of whom joined the Israel Defence Forces (IDF). The pro-Arab deserters were more dispersed, with individuals joining the irregular Palestinian Arab militia al-Jihad al-Muqaddas (Holy War Army), led by Abd al-Qadir al-Husseini and Hasan Salama, as well as the Arab Liberation Army (ALA), a force established by the Arab League, with Fawzi al-Qawuqji as its main commander. 3 Deserters were also witnessed fighting with Transjordan’s professional and effective force, the Arab Legion, commanded by the seconded British officer, John Bagot Glubb.4 A low estimate of this pro-Arab group of deserters was put at 53,5 while the highest estimate set their number at around 200.6 After analysing numerous reports on and mentions of these pro-Arab deserters, a figure of between 100 and 200 spread across all three forces seems correct.

Mandatory Palestine was effectively a 3 sided civil war. Groups like the Irgun committed terrorism upon the British Mandate the “Palestine Police” who are colonial cops effectively, because they felt the Mandate was going to create an eventual pluralistic state. The Palestinians and other Arabs began militarizing in response to several massacres by Jewish settlers. Over a hundred British police, many being conscripts stationed there, joined the Arabs or the Zionists

Some for very overtly antisemitic reasons though, like those of the British League - Palestine Branch which was an off-shoot of Mosely’s British League of Fascists. https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/2739222

You also had professional British soldiers like Glubb and his Arab Legion which officially served Transjordan and fought against the Zionists in the 48 war. Glubb is cool, he and his wife adopted a Bedouin girl and then adopted two Palestinian children orphaned in 1948. His white biological son converted as soon as he was of age, and was part of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Oman, and other leftist Arab-Omani organizations. It is funny how the “going native” stereotype simplifies things in such a way that it can ignore or dismiss British people who genuinely felt a shared humanity with Britain’s subjects/victims.

But where are the signs with quotes from Harry Potter and Andor? Don’t they know how to protest?

ILWU voted against a boycott of Israeli military equipment, so fuck them as well

I think her complaint then is irrelevant to anarchism vs communism. It was not the existence of a state that led to Russification, it was chauvinism and absolute assumptions about what development looks like. Anarchists can make the exact same mistakes. Greater autonomy could help, but that autonomy would only be able to stem the pressure if the Kazakh polity has power and is organized well.

No matter what one thinks of Russification, it is just not an issue that can be chalked up to statism
