Thousands of lives lost. People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met. 425107313881 0

Rougemont @rougemontagnard.bsky.social · 04/03/2026If socialism never works, Why did the West have to embargo socialist countries? Why did the USA intervene in over 70 countries’ elections and regimes, and make so many assassination attempts? Why was fascism used against socialism during the Cold War? 100 0
Rougemont @rougemontagnard.bsky.social · 04/03/2026If the US wants to occupy Iran, or have a presence there, they cannot do it with missiles. Throughout history, only infantry has been capable of occupying territories. The US would need at least 500,000 soldiers. This is a war of annihilation, not of occupation. 000 0

Rougemont @rougemontagnard.bsky.social · 01/03/2026The dogmatism that Trump has been able to install in his voter pool is concerning. If last week we had asked Trump voters whether they were in favour of attacking Iran, they would have said no. Now if you ask Trump voters whether they are in favour of attacking Iran, they say yes. 000 0
Rougemont @rougemontagnard.bsky.social · 01/03/2026The rich in the US gain profits from being at war. They sell their products to the government, while paying politicians and bureaucrats to make them happy. This is a systemic problem. Not an exception. Capitalism bringing war once again. 010 0
