  • I find domenico losurdo “class struggle” very relevant book explaining the behaviour of western leftists.

    Chapter 4, section 2 titled “imperial socialism” explains how western leftists turn a blind eye and delegitimize oppressed nations liberation struggles because they directly benefit from it, these “socialists” would gladly provide loyalty to their regimes in exchange of concessions. Disraeli and Proudhon being prime examples of it.


  • The basic policy the Party has adopted toward the religious question is that of respect for and protection of the freedom of religious belief. This is a long-term policy, one which must be continually carried out until that future time when religion will itself disappear. What do we mean by freedom of religious belief? We mean that every citizen has the freedom to believe in religion and also the freedom not to believe in religion. He or she has also the freedom to believe in this religion or that religion. Within a particular religion, he or she has the freedom to believe in this sect or that sect. A person who was previously a non-believer has the freedom to become a religious believer, and one who has been a religious believer has the freedom to become a non-believer. We Communists are atheists and must unremittingly propagate atheism. Yet at the same time we must understand that it will be fruitless and extremely harmful to use simple coercion in dealing with the people’s ideological and spiritual questions — and this includes religious questions

  • the US knowing that something was going to happen doesn’t mean they can stop it. Its the same thing with Israel about them knowing about Oct7 and “letting it happen”, the easiest conclusion is that both were incompetent and simply were not able to stop it. Lets stop viewing them as invincible and omnipotent.
