It's fucking hilarious how the Vietnamese made a statue depicting them blowing a pilot out of the sky and every US official lays a fucking wreath on it now.
Eve Fartlow: I'm going to Gaza to report on what's really happening
Also Eve Fartlow: here I am on holiday in Tel Aviv. Look at my first class resort hotel and beach view.
I feel like Ho Chi Minh isn't appreciated enough. He didn't just beat the Japanese, French and US armies, but also unified Vietnam and prevented it from being permanently fractured and governed by compradores. No small feat considering what happened to Korea earlier.
The problem with the Uyghur genocide narrative is that genocidal regimes are very upfront about why they want to exterminate a group of people. Racism is usually embedded into their founding documents and laws, and there isn't any evidence of that in China.
⚡️BREAKING
The US has backed down from plans to attack the Houthis after threats of all-out war by 2 million troops of the Yemeni Ansarullah group.
According to the Associated Press (AP), military ships from the US-led alliance will be positioned to provide air defence…
You can't really call China imperialist when it straight up cancels the debt for many of the projects it builds. They're probably building infrastructure around the world at a net loss.
Someone has definitely tried reading Capital thinking they are going to debunk communism only to realize that Marx just rambles about linen for 900 pages.
It's pathetic how little spin it takes to get people to consume propaganda.
Two articles about people ordering groceries to isolate from covid. Conclusion; China bad, Japan good.
"China has zero extreme poverty because the definition is so lax"
Actually in China's fight against poverty they continuously redefined it to be more comprehensive and by all means made their own job harder. And they had several layers of transparency to prevent corruption.
"Stalin and Mao killed 100 million people"
Yeah, well round these parts American communists gave me social security, the eight hour workday, and most recently helped build that dang ole Amazon Labor Union.
I'm going to be the guy that reminds everyone that on July 28 1932 the US army mowed down their own veterans on the door of the White house with horses and tanks for asking for money they were owed.
Everyone remember America's Tiananmen Square massacre!

The rise of China is connected to its vast investment in infrastructure. With this attitude it is no wonder why America is falling behind.
"The superiority of the socialist system is demonstrated, in the final analysis, by faster and greater development of those [productive] forces than under the capitalist system." Deng Xiaoping
The barbed wire is almost gone. So are the armored personnel carriers. Young Uyghur men are back on the streets. Beijing is slackening its grip on Xinjiang after a brutal mass detention campaign, but fear remains pervasive.
The Ukraine conflict has revealed to the world that the US is a paper tiger. The last real power it holds is dollar hegemony and that is swiftly going down the toilet also.
"Mao Zedong already liberated Tibet" is not a meme. Mao Zedong and the PLA had the full support of the Tibetan people and the rebels did not. Tibetans joyously celebrated their newfound freedom.
America: The Soviet Union was an authoritarian hell-hole where people have no freedom, lead miserable lives and people are put in concentration camps.
The Soviet Union:
A month ago a shitpost like this would never have made it past the niche communist corner of twitter, but because liberals are hopping mad about Russia and full on supporting Nazis this apparently also has the deliciously added charm of controversy.
If your understanding of socialism excludes China, Vietnam or Laos because they have had to adapt to the world as it is, then yes, you are undialectical.
America is the "wealthiest" nation because it steals the most from the working class of underdeveloped and 3rd world countries through Imperialism, pass it on.
There's this claim made by certain leftists that CPUSA has just sat on its ass for 100 years and not done anything, and that is something that I want to dispel today.

I never realized that Castro spoke English. In all the interviews I've seen he has only ever spoken spanish.
Here he is talking about Americans, the press, Krushchev and answers whether he identifies as a communist or not.
