Trans mega STRONG
The stalinist mods have attempted multiple times to stop us. They can’t say it is the reason as they have to keep up a facade of queer acceptance, but we know the truth.
Crítical support to Spain for preventing England winning
Whoever edited/translated this Penguin Classics edition of The State and Revolution is such a turbo-lib, my god. This preface started off fine as a historical context and introduction to what Lenin and the bolsheviks were up to prior to the October revolution but after that it completely falls apart into really blatant revisionism and hard-boiled anti-authoritarian snark that I’ve come to expect from only the most blue-checked among us. I think this is what will get me to skip all these introductory editorials from now on…
This is exactly what happened to me with the spanish version of “The State and Revolution”. A turbo lib did the preface and it was full with anticommunism. I wonder why bother doing a preface then.
Simple. These are warnings for libs. In the unlikely event a lib picks up State and Revolution, they’ll be armed in advance with all the usual thought terminating cliches.
As my wife says, there’s a reason they put it in the beginning and not after everything else!
Lol I started listening to the audible version of the Spanish translation of capital and returned it within about half an hour. I thought the whole thing had been rewritten. Maybe it was only the editor’s intro after all.
This preface is seriously like almost a third of the total length of the text. I subjected myself to way too much of it hoping it would get better before just skipping it. I think all the explicitly Marxist texts have something like this going on; never once did I see stuff like this in Proudhon or Kropotkin.
Sometimes I think about the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan and get sad over what could have been
Do you condemn Azov tho
And Right Sektor?

You, yes you. Go read The Flaming Heart by Maxim Gorky.
⚡️SUMMARY of Al-Qassam’s spokesperson, Abu Obeida:
• We remind the world that the Al-Aqsa flood was not the beginning of the resistance work, but rather was the explosion in the face of the enemy’s crimes.
• 9 months have passed since the start of Al-Aqsa Flood, and our people are still exposed to Zionist-American aggression and genocide.
• 9 months have passed and our resistance is not tired, and we are still resisting without external support of weapons and supplies, and our people are still steadfast without food or medicine.
• The crimes of the occupation culminated in systematic cleansing and extermination in the West Bank, Al-Quds (Jerusalem) and the Gaza Strip.
• The occupation army uses civilians as human shields, bombs homes, and invades hospitals.
• Independent opinion polls show, after months of aggression, how our people are rallying behind their resistance.
• Our fighters are fighting the enemy with a great fighting spirit, as if they were in the time of the Companions [reference to The Prophet (pbuh)]
• Throughout the war, all of our 24 battalions fought from the farthest part of Beit Hanoun to Rafah, and the performance of our resistance fighters improved every time.
• The world saw through the enemy’s crimes in Gaza the lies of international organizations and the alleged impotence of human rights laws.
• There is no place in Gaza for forces holed up in homes like thieves, nor for officers hiding behind armored vehicles.
• We presented righteous martyrs, soldiers and leaders at all levels, but the flag will not fall and will not fall.
• The battle of Rafah, which has been ongoing for about 2 months, and what is happening in Shuja’iya and the northern and central Gaza Strip is the greatest evidence of the strength of our resistance and the failure of the enemy.
• The Netzarim axis will be the axis of terror, God willing.
• We confirm that the Al-Qassam’s capabilities are very well in tact, with God’s help, and that we were able to recruit thousands of new fighters during the war.
• The ability of our fighters to fight and withstand has become greater and greater, and the fire of revenge that the enemy has ignited is enough to burn him and destroy all his plans.
• (‼️) What happened on October 7 will be insignificant compared to what we will reveal in due time.
• All Netanyahu is doing is trying to escape the failure that will haunt him throughout his life.
• A due tribute to Hezbollah, the Palestinian Resistance factions in Lebanon, AnsarAllah in Yemen, and the Iraqi resistance.
• The response of our people in the lands of 1948 to what they are exposed to is coming inevitably and at the hands of our heroic people.
• We are still keen to stop the aggression, and we are with you and for you.
• We have documents that we will reveal at the appropriate time and will show how we carried out a complex strategic deception of the Shin Bet and the enemy’s security system.
• Expelling an ambassador or severing ties with an enemy that is exterminating Arab Muslim people has become a dream for a great nation that has dominated the nations of the earth for centuries.
think there might have been some translation issues with the last bullet point, I can’t quite parse it.
someone gotta make a temporary news mega thread on c/worldnews
the (‼️) one has me poggers… make October 7th look insignificant? YES PLEASE
This one looks like a bad (AI?) summary. The section of the speech it likely came from is below. Full text here.
🟢 Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman, Abu Obeida, in his speech today, July 7th, 2024 (3/4):
The intelligence documents recently revealed among the enemy about the resounding failure on October 7 are trivial compared to what we will reveal at the appropriate time, Allah willing, with documents that will be harsher and more difficult, showing how we managed to execute a complex strategic deception against the Shin Bet and the enemy’s security system for years.
