🔴 Bun B of the Legendary Rap Duo UGK on the Ugly Reality of Capitalism
🎶Pro-smoke, pro-choke, anti-broke, conservative liberal..Left-wing slangin', right-wing hangin' in criminal court, it's civil..In the middle of reality unsolved mysteries riddle
Knockin' over fat cats, and gettin' my dogs some bits and kibbles🎶
There are a lot of voices on here hell bent on distorting genuine Marxist analysis of imperialism in the Horn of Africa, constantly interjecting with false claims “Ethiopia is imperialist” or “the UAE is imperialist.”
This is incorrect framing. This is drunk hyper nationalism
Briahan went from inviting pro State Department/NED/Amnesty Horn of Africa activists to now talking about Marxism Leninism.
Is this genuine ideological evolution or political opportunism? It is hard to trust North American left-wing media personalities

🔴Washington Backed UAE and Ethiopia Ongoing Complicity in Sudan’s Genocide
A wave of drone attacks has been targeting critical civilian infrastructure across Sudan. The attacks are raising serious concerns about the impact on an already fragile country.

Important uprising in Paraguay against the free-market govt. Another Trump puppet crushed by their own corruption.
It's a small country, but significant as it's a centre for money laundering by Latin America's right-wing narco elites & crypto bros.

Not only are China's Private Enterprises incredibly well subsidised by China's State Owned Enterprises; its POEs increasingly operate *like* SOEs - like singular all-in-one units (free from competition/exchange)
China's PoEs are progressing towards being 1 giant, integrated SoE
Some of China’s most successful tech firms are renowned for their aggressive vertical integration: BYD, DJI, Unitree.
But it’s not just about costs. It’s also about greater performance and efficiency through customization and co-design.

criminalization of tigrayan nationalism and resistance
The TDF fighters were the sons/daughtyers of Tigray and the ENDF brutally murdered them
TDF is a reflection of the Tigrayan masses & the struggle is just and will continue! The crimes of ENDF wont be forgotten!
One can be Oromo, Sidama, Afar, or Somali and still be politically Abyssinian, defending the Greater Ethiopia project ✅
Ethnic identity does not determine political ideology✅
Abiy Ahmed is opposed to Oromo nationalism & the National Question(He attacked Oromia 1st in 2018)✅
How, why, and when did the movements shift from “decolonizing Ethiopia”to “democratizing Ethiopia”?
The national question has been bastardized, hijacked, & co opted into ethnic politics, advancing neocolonial agendas and serving regional proxy interests.
Marxists neutralized
Faisal Roble is starving for that Abyssinian gaze, constantly appealing to their sensibilities and historical outlook, all under the guise of “democratizing Ethiopia.”
He presents himself as Somali nationalist but his ideological leanings are hostile to the national question.
The British(English) are uncivilized and backwards society but atleast they gave us this
🎶If my man was fighting some unholy war
I would be behind him
Straight, shook up beside him
With strength he didn't know
It's you I'm fighting for🎶

🔴Scene from King of the Hill: Kahn Joins the Laotian Elite in Texas to Overthrow the Communist Government in Laos
The character Kahn has to prove himself to the local bourgeois from his Laos community by training as part of a anti Communist group to overthrow the government in his country

The Oromo people are not in power.
Abiy Ahmed, the OPDO back then, and the PP now are NOT organic expressions of the Oromo people or their struggle but political formations imposed from above by the Abyssinian ruling class at the center and, by extension, imperialist interests.
Moscow is neither reliable nor principled, and neither is the rhetoric of “multipolarity.” beneficial to the Horn of Africa
Russia is an actor to be engaged with pragmatically, without illusions, misplaced trust, or expectations of ideological solidarity.
Remember Libya 2011.
Why was Russia’s Port Sudan base never built? The answer sums up Moscow’s entire Africa policy.
2017: Prigozhin secures gold concessions, Wagner opens fire on protesters in Abu Hamad (at least 73 killed), and al-Bashir asks Putin in Sochi for “protection against the United States.” The Kremlin has bought a single man.
2019: Al-Bashir is overthrown. Everything Russia had goes with him. Moscow does not know al-Burhan at all; his name never even appears in the reports.
2023: War started. Kremlin finds itself on a side it never chose. That same year Prigozhin is killed, and Russia’s only instrument in Sudan vanishes.
2024–26: Moscow follows the front lines. Once the army retakes Khartoum, it casts a veto at the UN and blocks the arms embargo.
Moscow’s defence at the Security Council is striking in its candour: why is the embargo on the table today, when “the government has an indisputable advantage on the ground,” rather than in 2023?

As the SF district attorney, she created initiatives that targeted parents of truant students. When she became the CA attorney general she fought for legislation that criminalized parents for their kids truancy and people were incarcerated because of it. I don’t owe her kindness.
Radlibs embrace militant rhetoric & Black Panther cosplay online yet remain detached from their own local communities,functioning as social outcasts with little organic connection to the people they claim to represent
Religious hyperfixation on the Levant/Iran, 24/7 is not it

This tweet is disgraceful.
How can a representative of a state recruiting foreign mercenaries to massacre Black African civilians in Darfur be given such a platform?
This is an affront to the victims and a shameful failure of moral judgment.
Today the @AfricanGroupUN held an exchange with H.E. Lana Nusseibeh, candidate of the United Arab Emirates for the position of #UN Secretary-General, who presented her vision and priorities for the Organization. The discussion provided an opportunity to engage with #AU members states, on her candidacy and vision for the future of the United Nations and key issues related to Africa.
