Trump seeks to extradite Palestine solidarity funder James “Fergie” Chambers from Spain on “material support for terrorism” charges. Lawmakers and rights groups call it political persecution amid a broader crackdown on the U.S. left.
We have 200 years of failure. Even the left wing in the west are just another flavour of capitalist (and there’s an argument to be made in the east too at this stage). At no point did I say I was unconvinced that we should be resisting our kings. The fact is that capital (as in assets/things, ie not just financial) is power. How are we going to outcompete an adversary that can pump out millions of drones a month or bribe their way into gaining contracts to build up surveillance apparatus? Eventually theory needs to meet reality.
I guess our definitions of success are vastly different. I have Cuban friends and they left because the situation is intolerable due to the sanctions. Over 1m Cubans have left since the pandemic. I come from a country that was occupied for hundreds of years. Now our government is complicit with the occupiers. Venezuela just got usurped in an evening. Russia is a fascist shithole. Only China has managed to have any kind of coherent strategy to combat this by weaponising the greed that built the system against it. You see where I’m going with this. Having the weekend off isn’t a victory. It’s a bare minimum and not worth celebrating. Women are still treated like shit. Success isn’t being allow work for the man whilst maintaining the expectation to also raise a family. The common man is so completely and utterly outplayed at the moment.
you can’t take on iran now though can you? can you do the same to china? lost to yemen and even vietnam.
ooo they are terrorizing a tiny defenseless island! whatever can we do!
again, your problem is that you don’t want it. bother to inconvenience yourself a little bit to fight for something and not even cuba would be bullied.
Have you seen the photos of Gaza? Bridges in Iran etc … Tehran was covered in a layer of oil rain when they blew up the refinery. That’s plenty of cancer and illness for future generations.

take a closer look then. why do you have the right for a weekend? how are some countries not subject to capital (and are considered evil for that)?
are you afraid of the country that isn’t capable of even making enough missiles for their wars? when you are armed to the teeth?
you have to want it. and i can’t talk you into wanting to care about it.

Who exactly is “you” ?
i mean, who is really oppressing cubans and provoking iran? who is it that can’t take on even russia by proxy?
Right but they can waste enough resources to prevent development catching up with them which is exactly what they are doing.
are they succeeding though?
