80 years ago today, fascism surrendered unconditionally to the forces of the Soviet Red Army. We pay homage to our heroes, for every fascist killed amounts to countless lives saved. Long live the people! Down with the arsonists of war! #Uraaa #VictoryDayParade #WWII #USSRHistory #ussr

Just as the power of the feudal aristocracy had to be broken in order for capitalism to emerge fully, so must imperialism and capitalism in Third World nations be overcome if a new system is to prevail. - Michael Parenti, “The Sword and the Dollar" (1989), St. Martin’s Press, p. 109

New Parenti content just dropped. View the full text in the ALT.

We were taught to think of empire and imperialism, because imperialism is the process of empire. And if we have an empire, then we're imperialists. So we're imperialists. So the communists were right when they used to call us imperialists. They used to say "capitalist imperialists". And we used to say, “commie propaganda”, but we have an empire now. Everybody's talking about the American empire.
- Michael Parenti, Lecture, Against Empire, Bend, Oregon (2004)

The Kurds are CIA. If you support the Kurds you are an extension of an intelligence agency. Western leftists that do are part of a greater strategy to balkanise Iran.

Pepe Escobar and Larry Johnson both confirm Is***l to run out of interceptors by next week at this pace. Trump called Italy and asked to negotiate a ceasefire, Iran responded (paraphrasing) to f*** off and that they're not talking to the US. It's death by a thousand cuts.

We take this opportunity to condemn again, from the bottom of our souls and entrails, the State of Is***l and the USA! Damn you State of Is***l and the USA! Damn you! T*rrorists and assassins! Go to hell, f***ing Z*os and Yankees!

There's confusion "gusano" means worm. It's actually closer to a larva or maggot than an earthworm. Maggot hits a lot more for parasites than worm too. Take note, comrades.

The Free Republic of Cuba is under an illegal siege by the US. The same modus operandi as in Gaza. No food, fuel, electricity, or internet can be let into the country. The full blockade of Cuba is a crime against humanity that should not go unpunished.

Let's do a challenge: How many times are socialists (AES) in the Epstein Files? How many people that said, "Socialism doesn't work" are in the Epstein Files?

Satanyahu saying, "Socialism doesn't work."

Dr. Michael John Parenti's passing is only a physical one. His words ring through the ages. People from all walks of life and levels of education can access them. He worked with this purpose, making incredibly complex subjects digestible and, at the same time, entertaining.

If you like the occasional nature photo...me! In all seriousness, I enjoy @unsettlingempire.bsky.social and @existentialcomics.com Agreed the UI is a bit clunky and it's taking some getting used to but it's been a nice reprieve from Facebook.
