Question about western imperialism?

I’ve noticed that countries allied to west never truly get back on their feet and always remain subservient to the West . For instance Somalia which has western funded govt for past 15 years has been unable to provide basic services that govt is supposed to do and keeps failing to hold democratic elections when west Touts countries for not holding elections . Or Afghanistan govt that immediately fell as soon as western donor money stopped funneling in . Is this on purpose ?if so why ?

What you call is an election is nothing more than a sloppy attempt at democracy. A bunch of men in politics that were handpicked by “elders “ than anonymously vote for a president that is backed by foreign powers that bribe officials . Somalia has no institutions and each election you see bunch of guys unsuited for job get hand picked for jobs they have no experience with . Somalia continually tops most corrupt country in world.

In an unprecedented move, the Cuban government sent an official communication to the management of the World Food Program asking for help to maintain the distribution of subsidized milk to children under the age of seven, as the country’s economic situation continues to deteriorate.

“We confirm that the WFP has received an official communication from the (Cuban) government requesting support to continue the monthly delivery of 1 kilogram of milk for girls and boys under the age of 7 throughout the country,” the WFP delegation on the island said in a written statement.

The UN program, which recognizes an “urgent need,” stressed “the importance of this request,” especially in the context of the “deep economic crisis that Cuba is facing,” which it said “significantly affects the food and nutritional security of the population.”

This, alongside the 500% increase in price for gasoline, does not look good. What options does Cuba have besides giving up? Is it even worth it when the situation is this dire? I feel so bad for the Cuban people. Fuck the embargo.

There were many mobilizations on his favour, but again and again and again where does power comes from? Since no military unit favoured him
Perú is a very centralized country and his support was not on the capital. When he fell instead of flying off an helicopter he did it on a car…only to get the roads blocked by opposition and the troops to arrest him in the middle of the travel.

Just curious, I’m not really conversant in the history, sociology, or anthropology of the Soviet Union, but what if Stalin had been succeeded by a Deng Xiaoping-like figure?

How would history have changed if the USSR had enough vigor to survive to the modern day?

I’m thinking about this as a setting for a fiction novel, which is implicitly about China, but swapped to a different cultural setting.

If Russia did equivalent of what Israel has been going to Palestinians how do u think the western order would try to justify the difference in responses?

U rarely see footage of Russia carpet bombing Ukraine or send dumb missiles to civilian areas hoping it just lands somewhere causing damage . If im not mistaken the Ukraine civilian death toll is smaller than the Gazan death toll

German here, you wouldn't need to not notice the difference, because our media propagates that Israel did nothing wrong, can do nothing wrong, and that every single death is retroactively the fault of Hamas.

It's easy to make fun of American media, but at least you guys get some critical distance in your Palestine news reel, my government almost tries to persecute it. There is only one society and media culture that glows (pun very much intended) with an equal amount of zeal for Zionism and Israel that I have seen - Britain.

Honestly the worst thing about Global Warming is that it effects places other than the Angloshit (US, UK, NZ, AUS, CAN) and Europe; if Africa and Asia and LatAm were to become lush and green global warming would be a globally progressive force. Climate change will likely destroy European society once and for all. It will eradicate American suburbia. Climate change will be Gaia's war against the West and their decadent and parasitic culture. It will be a war against capitalism. Climate change is the sword that will slay the Western subject once and for all.

A Rift Has Opened in Bolivia’s Movement Toward Socialism
To force elections for a new judiciary, which should have been held in December in accordance with the plurinational constitution, in late January Morales mobilized his base in the coca-growing heartland of Cochabamba to form bloqueos, or roadblocks, along the roads connecting Cochabamba with the business hub of Santa Cruz. The blockades, combining demands for judicial elections with other local grievances, have caused food and fuel shortages and have been suppressed by security forces. Huáscar Salazar, an economist and a member of the Centro de Estudios Populares in Bolivia says there is little hope of conciliation between the two camps. “What we are experiencing at this moment is that arm-twist, in which Evo and Arce dispute the acronym of the Movement Toward Socialism and, especially, the candidacy for the presidency of that party for 2025.” … In the Plurinational Legislative Assembly, MAS elected officials are split between arcista and evista lines. Elections for the judiciary were supposed to be held last year but have stalled due to disagreement over the preselected candidates agreed on by the legislative assembly, which is dominated by the MAS.

Indonesia: Prabowo (and Jokowi) claim victory in presidential election
On 14 February, 200 million Indonesians took to the polls to vote for a new leader. Official results are due in March, but the latest counts project that Prabowo will become Indonesia’s next president in October. In an election that many pundits have deemed the dirtiest ever, the ex-general garnered 58 percent of the vote in just one round, defeating his two other rivals – Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo – by more than 30 percent. Prabowo ran as the direct successor to Jokowi and promised to continue his policy. In fact, he would not have won the election without the support of Jokowi, who had his eldest son, Gibran Rakabuming, as vice-presidential running mate. The market reacted positively to the news of Prabowo’s decisive victory. The Jakarta Composite index ended 1.3 percent higher after the unofficial quick counts put Prabowo far ahead of his rivals.

I agree with Marx and Lenin on all fundamental issues and I appreciate their insight into capitalist political economy. I am not fundamentally an anti-Semite because I recognize the history of Jews being funneled into positions of junkerism and finance after being systematically barred from other professions by Christians in the Medieval era. I also recognize that blacks and browns aren’t disposed to violence and crime by nature but are instilled with nihilism and the passion for transgression by the conditions of ghettoism and poverty doled out to them in order to neutralize their liberation movements.

However I am still a reactionary because I don’t care about communism now that I have a well paying and salaried job. I hate minorities because I find it funny that it makes people mad when I’m racist; and even though it’s all systemic I need the mostly brown scary homeless people in my city must be removed by any means possible because I find them personally revolting.

When I was 19 I was a member of PSL before breaking off into a Maoist splinter group with some like minded comrades. Now I’m in an esoteric Hitlerist cell. I think you people overestimate how much people actually care about the truth. I realized I would much rather be a doomed warrior of the White race and an enemy of the normgroid caste (proletariat) than a wigger who likes hammers and sickles. In this way I can enjoy the psychological feedback loop of fascism while also freely having sex with dudes and brown women with a clear conscience.

>buh buh buh it doesnt matter if youre salaried and well paid your interests are still the heckin proolateriat!!!

I don’t care. I realize my material interests are found in some kind of future communist movement but I am not interested in it, nor the gay little kumbaya world that comes afterwards. I barely do anything at my job anyways. Even if I got laid off because of say, economic crisis, I find it a welcome addition as it would essentially guaruntee my trip to Valhalla (we wuz vikangz and shit after all). My sole desire is and has been since I was 12, to suffer the death of a tragic hero or villain.

I was wondering if anybody else here had a purely aesthetic and probably irrational reasoning for their own politics? I feel like leftism is the crescendo of liberal rationality, as in leftists recognize the state is a ultimately contractual abstraction, like god, and therefore nonexistePost too long.

You make a good point. My martyrdom is against reality itself. Like nietzsche says, art is to protect us from dying from too much truth.
But then again, my feeling to the world is a type of truth. My aesthetic judgement, my morality, my subjectivity is self-referential.
But your fallacy is in assuming that there's a "correct" way to orient yourself to "material reality". Like, we are just animals, why so much fuss?
We want to fuck, eat and drink. We love beauty, we love power. Its not a mystery.
I think its life-denying to try to see things from an "objective" gaze because its just wrapped up in the logic of a *system*, where in the hegelian sense, we are not "parts" of the system, the system is simply the spirit that we operate within.
thats also why all "anti-capitalist" performances still serve capital, because capital is not a "thing"; an object, it is our global social relation.

It's been a long while since we had this thread. I am trying to come up with something tangible and usable that doesn't rely on infringing on someone's bodily autonomy and isn't cruel or unusual. The Anarchist ideas seem to go from "there will be community enforced rules and rehab" to "there will be no rules and everyone will just accept that". Of course, my personal pick are no rules and no consequences because I personally like fucking around and not finding out, but I want a system of dealing with crime that is the best compromise between "let people do as they please" and "we need some security". Any ideas and texts are welcome. From popular to obscure, let's discuss!
