They are going to take themselves out of the empire game - this is great news for us socialists.

They had an almost war this summer, then the us said stop, so they did but the contradictions were not resolved. The border was drawn by france after they took over thai feudal possessions, as like with any european drawn-border it just spawns grievances.


From Sudan to Iraq to Yemen, they worked very hard to destroy Pan-Arabism and every regional power.
No doubt they will move against Turkey and Saudi Arabia in the near future. Israhell is already bombing Turks in Syria and closing in on northern cyprus. Lets see how NATO breaks apart then.


the NPP is explicitly anti-ML because it sees “classical socialism” as a failure.


Sri Lanka is like a colonialist entity that has its own brand of zionism, and is supported by the west. The last Sri Lankan government wasnt strong enough to resist western coup, which dragged china and its investments in the port of Hambantota and its SEZ.
Dissanayake is an Obama like figure, refusing to actually address colonialist systems in the country and is more concered with slow incremental process and police reform. Sri Lanka is also very pro-India rn. Though it seems that Sri Lanka wants to join BRICS+


As I once predicted, people that support mamdani will cope and compromise until they are as left wing as Keir Stürmer and Labor Party.


Jup most global south economies dont produce this stuff - chinese exports are of a higher class manufacturing nature. This new talking point of how chinese is destroying the global south is just another iteration of western propaganda.


AI slop neoliberalism with jihadist characteristics - I thought they were supposed to the traditionalists? And that ugly as bird they replaced Quraish’s hawk with, is a disgrace.


IMF debt is mostly just america’s puppet regimes - it seems we will once again see two worlds - the ailling dept empire of the us and the free world led by china.


Yeah obviously, because the peace deal didnt resolve any contradictions, it was just the us telling both sides to stop and the billionth UN court case which would last decades and not really satisfy anyone - both regimes also need its populace to be distracted rn.


“regressing” this BS was common in like the industrial age until like post-ww1 when the threat of communist revolutions forced the capitalists to step up and make europe into the heckin wholesome liberal utopia people still pretend it is. Without the soviet union is just a return to form.


The looting of syria continues, as a dark mirror to the collapse of the soviet union. All the while usa-israhell-turkey build massive border walls and spy nodes, essentially isolating each middle eastern country into an island. The total victory of barbarism.


Derg main issue was Amhara chauvinism (I think it wasnt really set out to be that way, just amhara socialists ended up not dying & Ethiopia was an empire with its own baggage), Somalia wasnt an ML/socialist state more like Niger or Mali today thats why the soviets eventually switched to the derg primarily, Eritrea was a liberatory fight against Ethiopia due to aforementioned chauvinism and geopolitical concerns, it was actually supported by the arab states and cuba at first, while israhell & usa supported imperial Ethiopia but then the roles switched lol
Eritrea acted as the gulf/Zionist guard against Yemen & Houthis, but their relationship has tapered off, Eritrea kicked out UAE bases recently.
Tigray was in allied to Eritrea at first but wanted a soviet union style Ethiopia not balkanization, there is also historic cultural & religious tensions between the two (Eritrea as coastal territory got more investments by the arabs, turks and then italians), which eventually led to their falling out, TPLF became the leaders of post-communist Ethiopia (a conflicted mediated by Jimmy Carter), so it kinda becomes obvious why they would eventually be captured by Zionist interests.
Horn politics are underrated, sadly marxist barely have good resources for the whole conflict - so whacko african warlord stories are the norm.


Socialism became very en vogue in africa, so you had a lot of people claiming to be one to gain “clout”. Somalia & Tanzania are good examples, even Zimbabwean socialists purged the ML’s.


Under Khrushchev, revisionist elements became mainstream, success became no longer an internal characteristic but one entirely dependent on the west, the west was the definition of “success” and if “couldn’t compete” with the west, then it was a failure, western culture became hegemonic over soviet one - the system rotted from the top down. And the soviet union tried to spread this view into the rest of the Warsaw Pact states.
East Germany had it worst because it was economically isolated (basically non-recognised by most states, which the soviet union never really pushed for) but not culturally, one could argue that the east german leadership survivors of the camps and purged by the nazis never really trusted most of its own populace and hoped to “wait them out” and hope for the next generation to be “better”, ironically it was the boomers & older gen x who brought down the GDR, not those who had lived under nazi rule and had various degrees of complicity. So it wasn’t 70 years of socialist institutions breaking down suddenly, but socialist institutions serving decades and decades of rot, until not even the proletarians believed socialism was going to work.


But if you replace superhuman laser shooting eye blorb with x minority it really makes YOU the bad guy <-- most compelling liberal thought experiment.


I mean no system would ever produce extremely popular art that “dismantles” its ideological hegemony. Hollywood Writers (and the arts in general) also recruit from a very specific class - aka not the working class - so art reflects the bourgeois character of the artist and the studio.
Ahem akshually the last draft is the hardest because its the last - like in a vidya game the last level usually contains the boss and so is the hardest.
BTW the us is rolling out something similar to the EU chat control & “online child protection” scam.
