Imperialism stokes this imagined oppression because US Christians have to be maintained as a support base for US led imperialism, which needs propaganda narratives to justify attacking Muslim majority countries or communists to maintain capitalist hegemony.

Reading a book some asshole said you should read but it turns out the book says you’re right and the asshole is wrong

Trump claims that "thousands and thousands of our soldiers" have been killed in the war on Iran. Up to now, the official Pentagon numbers were 13 killed. This is either a devastating admission or a blatant lie, but I haven't seen any journalists pick up on it.

Liberals will acknowledge that the capitalist state is run by the most vile people imaginable only to immediately try to convince us that we shouldn’t do anything about it. This is why people aren’t buying the lesser-evil schtick anymore.

They granted me access to the archives. Big mistake.

Anti-religious propaganda is only acceptable if it advances the class struggle. Painting all religions at all times with the same brush isn't a Marxist approach, it helps the capitalists. Religious people aren't forbidden from joining the party. Here are some Lenin excerpts.

A judge for the Texas trial openly admitted that the sentences are about deterrence, not establishing justice. This was a show trial designed to send a message, to deter people from attending protests because they might face decades of prison time for it.

Wage theft is one of the biggest, most costly crimes, and yet the news don't treat it with nearly as much gravity as they do with people stealing to make ends meet. Why? Because the class that owns the news is the one doing the wage theft.

A lot of people know that mainstream media is constantly lying about Gaza but aren't investigating how this propaganda system can function smoothly, given that its parts seemingly operate independently of one another. Read Parenti. They aren't just lying about Gaza.

Zelensky provided full state honors for the reburial of one of the leaders of the OUN-M, which collaborated with Nazi Germany and committed genocide against Ukrainian Jews. This story not being bigger news is emblematic for how much Ukrainian neo-fascism has been whitewashed.

The Black Panthers, like all revolutionaries, understood the power and value of art and aesthetics. Counter hegemonic movements need counter culture.

The working class has to support the anti-imperialist struggle of indigenous peoples across the globe. Whether in Palestine, Oceania or the Americas: It's Land Back or Extinction.

These are by no means all written by communists, nor have I read all of these. Just some titles that I pulled from my reading list I figured people would find most interesting. Sorry for the bad formatting, it's late.

This is frequently done through organizations like the NED, whose founder described the NED's mission like this: "A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA." Now take a look at this graphic released by the NED.

When you ask liberals to give a coherent definition of imperialism and they just look at you like this

aaaaaaaaaAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

I feel bad for not being more active over here, but managing X has been taking up a lot of time.

Superfest is a great example of this. The GDR invented glass that was incredibly hard to break, but western companies showed little interest, because unbreakable glass means less money from selling replacements.

Don't think. Don't analyze. Don't strategize. React! Consume! Cower in fear!

Berlin police forced the German Communist Party to censor the most famous picture of the liberation from fascism because it shows a soviet flag. This state enforced historical revisionism is cartoonishly dystopian and dangerous.

Scenes like this are increasingly becoming the norm at German protests: the police inspect newspapers to ensure they do not contain any prohibited symbols. This took place at an event commemorating Germany's liberation from fascism, where the state banned Soviet symbols.

Reforms can never be the end goal. We fight for reforms to steel ourselves, to improve our ability to fight, but we never lose sight of the bigger picture.

Style exploration: angry worker core.

This is both class reductionism and a type of liberal identity politics (while also using the capitalist "middle class" lie). Matter of fact, the footnote that appears in excerpt I posted addresses this partially.

I am well aware of the biographical details, I am just stunned you would stoop so low as to cite that as a reason for dismissing their work when the very footnote in the screenshot I posted goes into this.

This little passage from What's To Be Done sums up why Anarchism, despite its intentions, can only end up being bourgeois ideology – ideology that ends up strengthening capitalism instead of overcoming it.

I empathize with this, but we have to remember that things are getting so bad because the ruling class is facing a deep crisis, forcing them to escalate and to make themselves appear more menacing than they are. They are very weak and increasingly disoriented.

Do you believe in a world without imperialism?
