  • i’m sure i will find some of their ideas interesting and i will learn things, too. the same has happened to me while reading numerous western imperialists, foucault is a very interesting read, albeit one that reeks of the ideals of european settlers. the same is true of most writers. in fact, i dare say i have read more people i disagree that those i agree with, because that is the material reality of our world.

    my point is not that, but rather than beyond this facade of little interesting ideas lies the ugly face of fascism. i cannot take, i cannot truly recommend, and even so much more less if they are interpolated by the DSA.


  • Fascism is the bourgeoisie’s fighting organisation that relies on the active support of Social-Democracy. Social-Democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism. There is no ground for assuming that the fighting organisation of the bourgeoisie can achieve decisive successes in battles, or in governing the country, without the active support of Social-Democracy. There is just as little ground for thinking that Social-Democracy can achieve decisive successes in battles, or in governing the country, without the active support of the fighting organisation of the bourgeoisie. These organisations do not negate, but supplement each other. They are not antipodes, they are twins. Fascism is an informal political bloc of these two chief organisations; a bloc, which arose in the circumstances of the post-war crisis of imperialism, and which is intended for combating the proletarian revolution.

    This is what this person means, this is what you need to understand. It means not that they are not different, but that they are too the same thing under different light.


  • hey, thanks a lot that you liked it! do you mean having cantonese instead of the kanji widget or as a language for the extension? i also been working on it and making it a self hosted app which should make things a bit faster and what not, although it requires installation. this version should have a few more niceties like being able to do crazier setups and stuff. this is how it currently looks:


  • i think i explained it pretty clearly, but ok. i guess in even simpler terms the issue is that they are a reactionary right wing ideology disguised as leftism. you can see from the recent betrayal by mamdani that democratic socialism can’t achieve anything at all. it’s essentially a zionist movement created with the purpose of coopting anti zionist movement into doing nothing at all.

    this is not at all what the european leadership cares about, they’d be happy to exploit the world until you need to buy air cans in order to breathe. furthermore you cannot do policies like that, you have people who need to eat, heat, and produce. this only hurts working class europeans, this will cause a crisis and depression. let’s not masquerade a clear act of finance capital as some sort of progressive win. don’t get me wrong, i won’t shed a tear for you people suffering, it’s time you get a taste of it after so many centuries of all the barbarism you people committed. you are the scum of the earth, and the pariah for all that is good. but in all of this it will not be the ones that actually have to pay the price for their sins that suffer.




  • yemen was occupied by joint forces of saudi arabia and UAE, before the iran war the UAE took their soldiers from the country and the gap wasn’t filled, which made controlling the houthis a very much different and difficult issue. furthermore, iran has been steadily destroying the empire’s military bases and support gear which makes everything more difficult. yemen has a history of struggle, so that also plays a big role.

    ultimately, it’s not necessarily money, or advanced tech that wins wars, but rather knowing how to use what you have to your advantage. history is filled with smaller enemies beating giants. the us hasn’t won a war in decades.
