By seizing the plane comrade Biden is becoming the true heir of commander Hugo Chávez's Expropiation legacy instead of bourgeois revisionist traitor Maduro 🫡🫡
@mafuyunism
Actually 🤓☝️ la palabra "gringo" es una deformación de "griego" y se usaba en países de habla hispana para referirse a gente que no hablaba español. Específicamente proviene del uso de la frase "eso me suena a griego". De resto, completamente de acuerdo con el post
Genuinely, why people are mad at this? Some of them are saying things like "uugh murica doesn't have culture" as if the original drawing that started the trend wasn't just a tanned version of Miku with a Brazilian football shirt without anything else at all
Venezuela's collapse into complete tyranny is also one hell of an embarrassment for Biden. Who, after all, promised a lifting of sanctions if democracy was returned.
@nykyt0sha
I was reading a book about the Cold War's history, and the author makes the point that some nazis were integrated by the USSR in the new East Germany system because they were already experienced in running an authoritarian government with Hitler. That automatically made them 1)
@ASPertierra
Tbh the most funny thing of East Germany discourse is watch the very same tankies that do virtue signaling of western institutions that integrated nazis on their lines now doing increasingly obvious mental gymnastics to hide the fact that East Germany did the exact same thing

The US isn't worst than Imperial Japan in any sense of the word. Not only the atrocities committed by the US aren't even comparable in magnitude, the US has actually changed in lots of ways and the treatment of minorities, while problematic, is infinitely better than in the past
@atadblue
Yeah, I'm currently reading Cold War: A World History by Odd Arne Westad, and it is pretty much an eye opener book in this matter. You should try to do the same though
@BlackRedGuard1
dude, people are pointing out that interaction because you're not contributing any plan of action to create actual organizing, whether in an revolutionary way, anti-system way or whatever. You just vaguely made reference to make "people create power" without actually saying how
I want every single tankie to explain to me how the sanctions made the Venezuelan government arrest more than 2000 individuals, at least 120 minors, kidnap people and take them to the greatest torture center in latam, censore Twitter and not release any fucking voting tally.
@ASPertierra
Worse is to see this kind of people trying to give some "academic coverage" to the fraud BY LITERALLY TELLING VENEZUELANS THEIR VOICES DON'T MATTER IN THE SLIGHTEST
@atadblue
I do think everyone can make a valuable book if the investigation, documentation, bibliography and arguments have substance and their claims don't fall apart if they're challenged. Odd Arne Westad is very reputed for that matter
@nykyt0sha
Qualified to be put in charge of the new socialist gov since the brand of Socialism that Moscow promoted was also authoritarian and needed similar ways of repression. Thus, to those nazis, there was little difference between the nazi and Soviet way of ruling 2)
@josueisbaby
Es que ella era el hazmerreir de la oposición en el pasado. Muchos la consideraban "demasiado radical" porque ella se negaba a conseciomar con el gobierno y era una crítica muy dura a Chávez
@TrueSlazac
These days had been full of repression. Some journalists and political scientists believe that the majority of opposition movements are happening on closed doors and there's a lot that Maria Corina is making outside our view. Maduro hasn't supposedly slept in days and is very mad
We condemn all war criminals including Benjamin Netanyahu, Vladimir Putin, Bashar al-Assad, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Donald Trump, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney & many more.
We also recognize the urgent need for diplomacy to prevent WWIII.

@atadblue
It's funny you think ideology is the only marker of reliability as if historians weren't prepared to investigate and demonstrate the verification of events no matter their own stance on them because they're the first ones in being aware of subjectivity in historical documentation
This is not talked about a lot, but Venezuela has a great Palestinian population (along with Lebanese and Syrians) which came all here as refugees and not a single one that i know supports Maduro. Though, I would like to difund actual Palestinian-Venezuelan voices

This kind of posts are my confirmation that some leftists on the developed world believe that surviving Thatcher and Reagan was the same as surviving fucking Galtieri
@nykyt0sha
Btw the book I'm referring to is The Cold War: A World History by Odd Arne Westad. It is very easy to read, explains everything in a chronological way while also making emphasis in the ideas of people and the development of events.
@FEscrutinio
Que tanto les cuesta aceptar que se equivocaron al comprar el discurso anti-yankee de Chávez sólo porque les parecía cool sin siquiera mirar mejor lo que pasaba por dentro?
@atadblue
It's pretty difficult to not see it as such if your immediate response was "read more than just the libs" instead of providing directly anything that challenged the narrative over East Germany. What have you read on the matter then?
There's a special kind of evil that comes from the people that abanderate themselves as pro-inmigration and against xenophobia, but maintain themselves completely silent and uncritical of the murderous dictators that made those immigrants abandon their lands in the first place.
@ASPertierra
God, she has been by far the most empathetic politician I've heard from the left when it comes to Venezuela. She doesn't shy away anything and openly calls things for what they are, not fearing any backlash for the three same tankie voices her party maybe has 🥹💙💙

@hutchinson
@ContraPoints
And which is that action? Op isn't saying (at all) that the anti-electoral left is completely useless. She's just saying that they have to be more specific about their accomplishments. Which is the tangible action you're meaning? (no sarcasm, just try to specify something)
@Katauroraaa
I just think that some of they suffer from a feeling of "imperialist guilt" were they become aware they live in an imperial core and thus want to "purify" said guilt by becoming "progressive" (read: doing morally correct things to congratulate themselves)... 👇
Gently reminder that this woman was doing chavista apologia in July 28 and justifying Maduro, saying that we Venezuelans supported him, etc etc. It wouldn't be weird to also see her denying things that Nasrallah did to Syrians
Remember when Nasrallah blew up universities, left babies to die in incubators, starved thousands of people, targeted journalists and their families for assassination, killed little girls and ambulance drivers rescuing them, and defended rape and torture?
I don't remember either.

Tengo la teoría de conspiración que en efecto es Estados Unidos el que permite e incluso ha fomentando que se siga victimizando a Japón de la manera que se hace porque damn, hasta cuando esta actitud rara de tratar a ese país como la víctima de la bomba y no un régimen brutal
Ay si, los estadounidenses obligaron a los japoneses a unirse a los n4z1s (y cometer un montón de crímenes) porque los primeros les obligaron a abrirse al mundo a comercializar, definitivamente muy coherente....

@ASPertierra
Tbh i hope Americans don't actually find out about Sheinbaum or anything related to latam politics. Call me a nativist on this one, but some of the political takes that Americans make about politics here are awful, to put it mildly
If I was a CIA agent, I would truly like to live in the minds of this kind of leftists, who consider the organization as a quasi-omnipotent group that can create coups from nothing and fabricate whole historical events. Not even in Langley they can create this kind of propaganda
@aisteris
The spanishs are just tired of the facists and the libs not being able to run a country. Also the us paid excessive amount of money to make china propaganda, wouldn't surprise me they did the same with USSR
Yeah guys this dude is a technophobe disguised as degrowther. Technology is good actually, and you don't win adepts to the revolution by suggesting that our future is an amish community
I don’t know about you, but I find a crowd chanting “USA” pretty scary. To me, there’s little difference between U.S. patriotism, settler colonialism, and imperialism.
Gente, pilas. La única oposición acá es MCM, Edmundo, Juan Pablo Guanipa, Delsa Solorzano y compañía. A todos los demás les sabe a culo el final de la dictadura siempre que tengan chalet en el Country Club. Increíble como MCM es apoyada por el pueblo y aún así la quieren fuera
No es muy sensato creer que la oposición puede replicar lo del 28J en unas parlamentarias pasando la página sin más y haciendo a un lado María Corina. Suena como un fracaso seguro.
Yo es que no entiendo a los Tankies y no veo mayor diferencia entre ellos y un fascista. Ambos son completamente capaces de denigrar la dignidad humana y apoyar activamente políticas de muerte con tal de oponerse a lo que les de la gana, incluso negando la realidad
Los tankies no son ignorantes, tampoco son estúpidos, simplemente son personas horribles incapaces de sentir empatía por otro ser humano. Me atrevería a decir que muchos son psicópatas.
If anything, this reminds me how the present discourse on fascism tends to forget that fascism originates as a reaction against capitalism itself, and in fact can possess anti-capitalist rhetoric and praxis.
This is the same with me. The Russian Invasion of Ukraine was the moment that radicalized me. It showed me perfectly well how no matter which side of the political spectrum you were, there are genuine monster who would sacrifice whatever ounce of democracy the world has to...
I feel like the last two years have radicalised me somewhat. The invasion of Ukraine, the Iranian uprising, 7/10, and the Venezuela uprising, convinced me the West is under attack. And the reactions by extremists at home convinced me some of our enemies are domestic.
It's wild to think The Federation is meant to be Bolivarian Revolution coded, because for that scenario to be credible, it will mean believing Chávez was actually a competent stateman
The plot of Call of Duty: Ghosts (2013) where all of Latin America unites into a massive superpower and fucks over the US and the rest of the world was actually so intriguing like wow
@KareemRifai
They don't know that Comrade Joe Biden is continuing the legacy of Expropiation set up by the Commander Hugo Chávez 🫡🫡🇻🇪🇻🇪. He's truly an heir of the Bolivarian Revolution confronting the revisionist traitor Nicolás Maduro and his bourgeois government
@CorzaCore
@nykyt0sha
This. Also the fact that Stalin needed people experienced in running a government with authoritarian characteristics and the defeated Nazis were already experienced with authoritarianism under Hitler, thus, the authoritarian socialism of the USSR was of little difference for them
More often than not people are very ignorant about pre-columbian peoples. This thread, done by a historian which his content I highly recommend, is a great piece of information and hopefully you'll enjoy it too!
Since it’s Indigenous People’s Day, here’s a short thread on what we know, what we popularly assume, and what we don’t have any way to know about the indigenous Caribbean before Columbus, and in particular the people known as the Taíno 🧵

@TrueSlazac
USSR doesn't exist anymore and South Korea and Taiwan are currently liberal democracies with far more civil liberties than when they were dictatorships. It doesn't negate anything but come on, they're incomparable with their past
@ASPertierra
Yess, etymologies also can give us clever examples about how some peoples saw each other. For example: did you knew that Greeks are called something like "rum" in Turkish? That's because it comes from "Roman" and it's a reference to the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium)
@novedadeskitzia
@himbo_anonymous
2/ I think it has more to do with the fact that both Latinos and Arabs are marginalized people who had suffered the same consequences of Imperialism and live similar experiences in First World countries, thus they're more likely to feel confident with each other
Ngl i feel kinda bad for Venezuelan progressives in Spain. I think they only wanted to participate in progressive movements in a country with normal politics and all they got was Podemos lmao
@GardenSocialist
The problem with this is that China has been using for literal years an obvious nationalistic and hostile rhetoric to Taiwan, and we now have a very real precedent to believe that China could do anything they want to Taiwan, which is the Russian invasion of Ukraine 1)
