Anti Communism Is Class Warfare

The anti-communist regimes in the East of Europe are waging war upon the organised working class and anti-communism is their weapon

In this special edition of the programme we look at the usage of anti-communism since the counter revolutions of 1989-1991. We examine the mythology of Ukrainian fascism and how this fictional version of history is used to mask attacks on the Ukrainian working class by the gangsterist oligarchy of Kiev.

We then turn to a report published recently that chronicles the usage of “anti totalitarian” laws in Ukraine and in places like Romania. We find, unsurprisingly, that the great bulk of the prosecutions under such laws are against working class people who are either wearing a soviet symbol or are commemorating the socialist past.

We conclude that anti-communism is a weapon that is used to mask the enormous failures of capitalist restoration and to attack the very idea of a different system being possible. It is an attempt to stop the working class drawing revolutionary conclusions.

Hello y'all, with the help of death, I have sub'd 'Fly High, Flag of the Republic' and 'The Baptism of Fire and Blood', both of which are CCTV documentaries on the 'June 4th incident' in Beijing or '1989 spring and summer turmoil and riots' as known by the state.

In the process, he debunks mainstream economists' lies that AI will definitely increase wages, and explains how the Industrial Revolution in Europe (the classic example for how technology improves living standards), actually:

• didn't increase living standards in Europe for 200 years until after WW2 (and even then only due to militant labor organizing)
• required colonialism and imperialism abroad in the Global South, reducing their living standards until even today

I've found Gary's Economics to be an amazing stepping-stone channel to introduce liberals to leftist economics. He basically uses Marxist economics but never explicitly says so, making his points very palatable to libs.

This is basically an anthropological overview of human cities and how they were disrupted under capitalism.

This video is a great application of Domenico Losurdo's and Gabriel Rockhill's contrast of Western imperial Marxism versus Eastern Marxism Leninism, using their differing analyses of China as a case study.

TLDR: Any liberals and centrists cringing about how Charlie Kirk's assassination hurts his family's feelings completely ignore the real harm of his championed policies.

For example, his anti-abortion policies have forced numerous parents to carry deformed babies to term just to watch them die after birth, to go into sepsis and almost die just to get a medically necessary abortion.

GDF argues that Zionist lobbying e.g. AIPAC is the main historical reason for US support of Israel, and not Israel's usefulness to the US as a military base.

He bases his argument on the influence of the Israel lobby forcing the Nixon, Johnson, and Clinton administrations to prioritize Zionism over American and US capitalist goals.

Making this video was deeply personal for me. I've moved over 30 times in my life; over a dozen of those moves were before the age of 18.

For the last three years, my wife and I have been in limbo after getting priced out of our home. We're living in one rented room; our whole life is crammed in a 10x10 box with no real end in sight. Tens of millions of people in America have it way, way, worse than me.

But we can end this!

Israel and Jews are treated in the West like special snowflakes, and that we need to seek support, approval, and permission from Jews to denouce Israel's crimes. Ultimately this wastes energy and distracts from the goal of justice for Palestinians.

Should we have asked 'Aryans' and Germans for permission to destroy Nazi Germany? No! Should we have asked whites and Britons for permission to destroy apartheid South Africa? Obviously not.

So why do we ask Jews and Israelis for permission to destroy Israel?

TLDR: Foundings Zionists agreed with and worked with Nazis, seeing themselves as supporting the superiority of the Jewish race the same way the Nazis did so for the Aryan race.

Both movements used the same techniques:

• Palestine was Jewish lebensraum, and was stolen with the same techniques as the Nazis
• both touted fake 'socialism' (e.g. kibbutzes) while actively working with their preferred capitalists to further racial superiority

Zionists were rather indifferent to the Holocaust, and spent barely any resources on saving Jews from it. Zionists explicitly wrote that they wanted to save only those most useful to future Israel, and not all the other weathless Jewish rabble.

Only after the Holocaust ended did they start touting it to support Israel.

TLDW: The Nazis massacred hundreds of thousands of Warsaw residents and razed the city to the ground, even as they were retreating from the Soviets.

Israel's treatment of Gaza is exactly the same.
