what is the likelihood Iran even fires at the carriers, havent they been hesitant to hit anything substantial so far? what are the odds Iran just warns the US theyll hit some random pre-evacuated base like before
reading this right now while also listening to the Politzer audiobook and its great, Cornforth's putting diamat in historical context is super nice for comprehension
i think because protests are usually liberal organized and ran so anything remotely violent is big nono
also because the cops have better/more equipment that theyll bust out as soon as you bring out anything higher on the escalation ladder
also if you get arrested youll go to prison
in The Netherlands a girl got prison time for throwing a stick at a riot cop because she was trying to stop a bulldozer from running over her friend
but if you have an organized disciplined group that doesnt care about possible consequences a phalanx would be super cool to see, though unfortunately like the other comrade said theyll just disperse you with tear gas probably
having reread the masses elites and rebels essay and coming away from it thinking i need to post more positive news on my social media instead of atrocity propaganda i also realize i have no idea where to get the good news
yall got any suggestions for insta pages that post good commie news or just pages i can rip n post myself
i have a bunch in my feed like Peoples Dispatch, PSL's liberation news, Drop Site news, Telesur, CGTN, Monthly Review, Ben Norton's Geopolitical Economy Report, nakedcapitalism, The Intercept, Tass, RT, Sputnik globe, SCMP, along with a couple blogs like Hickel's substack, Dialectical Dispatches, Michael Roberts' blog, Elina Xenophontos on her substack, and I heard about Mint Press news recently though i havent checked them out yet
some of these are news platforms, others like tricontinental and monthlyreview are academic/research
just seen the funniest thing today in a ukraine trench war documentary of an iraq war "veteran" (i.e criminal) saying hes in Ukraine because he felt bad about his role in Iraq so he wants to cancel it out fighting in a "just" war in Ukraine
"He fought in Ukraine in part to atone for what he saw as unjust actions in the Middle East."
he got whacked by a drone strike after like a month lmao
apologies if you already mentioned this before but do you have any reading recommendations on soviet economics?
your last paragraph is interesting n ive been meaning to get more into the ways the soviet economy worked
so far i skimmed through Socialism in power but it didnt seem all that insightful, though that may be due to the aforementioned skimming instead of reading
i think someone was saying that with all the radars and Venezuelan air defence being destroyed MANPADS had a hard time actually targeting or seeing stealth helicopters
i have so many questions, what happened to the presidential guard, was it like one dude guarding Maduro, did they all somehow get merked and got no shots in, were there no US casualties?
