Pretty surprising! That thread is more positive than some of our discussions on the topic lol

It may be another hammer strike on the wedge between the empire and what it's constituents actually want. The US can not back down on Israel even no matter what, even if it continues to isolate a significant amount of people. What a broken fucking country.

All they need to do to manage the empire is moderate evil and a few token handouts, but they cant come up with anything besides extreme violence and absolutely no handouts whatsoever of any kind.

Luckily it appears he was a "previous associate" rather than a "long-time member".

Not exactly sure about that, there's going to be a substantial insurgency either way.

Then why is this guy going off script?

Yeah, uh, what was the expected consequence here? Like if it comes out that these "embassy staffers " are actually ranking officials that were targeted for a reason it makes more sense, although it still seems like "adventurism with more negative consequences than positive" if that's the case.

This uh, does not seem to be a tactically sound decision.

It's not a whole lot, but I think lot of smart people are stumbling into Marxism in 2025 because it is most likely the best way to make sense of this mess and find a way out of it.

If you can't tell from my recent posts I am keeping a close eye on Traore and Burkina Faso rn. The empire is having a tricky time dealing with the contradictions of the Palestinian genocide right now as public opinion continues to decline.

Traore is gong to be another tricky one in the age of the internet. They can't just take him out cause it seems the Burkinabe learned from Sankara and they also have the the attention of people across the continent. Their excuse for doing anything is going to be pretty flimsy, probably russia-baiting. I think invading Ukraine is gonna stick on the country for a while, but I wonder what's gonna happen after putin is no longer in power.

Anyway, the propaganda won't be able to hold forever. There will still be anti-communism ofc, but in the US it has been stifled so thoroughly and efficiently. Works just fine as long as the neoliberalism machine is running smoothly (1970- 2008), then the process of decay begins.
