There were no WMDs in Iraq. Muammar Gaddafi did not supply Libyan forces with Viagra. The Syrian government didn't use chemical weapons on its people. There is no forced labor or genocide of Uyghurs in Xinjiang. Repeat after me: its all war propaganda made in the USA.

Marx: PhD in philosophy Lenin: Lawyer from upper-middle class family and son of a “nobelman” Mao: son of wealthy peasant, became a teacher Nkrumah: 2 Ivy League masters degrees, and all but thesis of a PhD Fidel: Doctor of Law, son of wealthy Spanish farmer Che: Medical Doctor
anti-intellectualism is a really funny political tendency considering that a lot of ppl’s favorite revolutionaries came from petit-bourgeois/professional class backgrounds, lol

This disingenuous defence of neofascist Bolsonaro as a "victim of censorship" is the final sorry end of Glenn Greenwald's reputation as a reliable source on Brazil. teapaw.org/i/status/1544480887391…

Truly wild how the Democrats' most popular president in American history helped the working class and was elected to four straight presidential terms and then the modern version of his party decided it was savvy political strategy to never again do anything that he did.

Happy July 4th! It's a great time to remember that the War of Independence was fought to preserve and expand slavery and colonialism. It's also a great day to remind ourselves that U.S. is an empire of hypocrisy that tramples on freedom and liberty at home and abroad.

The notion that @TheDemocrats aren’t fighters is a lie. Look how hard they fought against Bernie. Look how hard they fight to suppress third parties. Look how hard they fight to pass legislation that benefits their corporate donors. They do fight. They just don’t fight for you.

Biden’s top priorities don’t include abortion rights, reducing poverty or saving the planet from environmental disaster. His priority is war and war spending: “U.S. to send new troops and weapons to Europe” wsj.com/articles/u-s-to-ramp…

Everybody knows "Western values" is a dog whistle for imperialism and white supremacy. We all know the countries arming Ukraine to the teeth are the same ones that destroyed Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia; that that spread "Western values" via colonialism and slavery

Assange warned us! Independent German journalist #AlinaLipp has been in Donbass for 6 months reporting what she sees: the execution of innocent people by Kiev forces. Now she’s facing 3 years in a “free speech” German prison. Open your eyes folks! #NoWayGermanay #FreeAssange
