Reminds me of when Corbyn quoted Hoxha
"this year will be harder than last year. However, it will be easier than next year."
Already being called former president. Life comes at you fast
Well he was selected because they hoped he would die, there was leaked conversations about him living only 12 months. I remember Michael S Judge saying the guy they wanted was caught up in a trafficking scandal at that moment.
it is on archive.org if anyone is interested https://archive.org/details/asadofsyriastrug00seal
That 2S7-Pion footage was interesting.
The fuck happened in the past day?
“Marxism consists of thousands of truths, but they all boil down to one sentence: It is right to rebel.”
I have no understanding of this besides the discourse so wtf is that what the show is about?
Who was irl awarded the Order of Lenin
Love that he made this a microcosm of his entire belief system, rejecting material reality to grandstand in a way that just so happens to align with whatever benefits him personally.
Can Bill run as vp for Hillary?
Yeah they cut off MLB scouts in the early 60s, despite Fidel having a dear personal friend who was a major scout who did continue to visit Cuba until his death. I have found the occasional upload of a Cuban games, but they are few and far between.
I really hate how hard it is to enjoy Baseball stuff without anti-Cuba shit shoved down your throat. Playing the Nego Leagues stuff from MLBtheshow 24 and the historian quotes Buck O'Neill the famed black player and later manager saying he played in Cuba "when Havana was Havana" https://twitter.com/nlbmprez/status/1330666485023444993
Like outright longing for the beauty and style of a city that was custom designed to be a offshore gambling haven for Americans and was the only place actually developed in much of Cuba. The US occupied the island only 20 years prior to him being there. It is so annoying how recognizing the Nego Leagues is used as a means to absolve american racism, and reinforce the idea that imperialism upon poorer blacks is worthwhile for African Americans.
Now of course even at its worst, Cuba was better to live in for a black person than the US, but this is longing for what was effectively a casino built on black and brown bodies.
This line from Parenti always stays with me
The economist Ray Brown—when he went to Cuba, before the Revolution—it was in 1958, he was there, about a year or so before—was impressed by how every major road he saw went from a sugar plantation to a refinery to the seaport. While there were whole communities without roads—they couldn't get to doctors, they couldn't have schools, couldn't see a priest—the sugar companies had their roads.
Never heard of Russian Justice, only book that comes up with that exact title doesn't seem pro-communist at first look. Can you link it?
God that is a powerful quote
This. Reading about its creation in my US labor course was heartbreaking and even the pretty radical textbook didn't seem to care about the obvious problem the NLRB serves for workers power
Being right on the cusp of 50K is genuinely huge for American leftism
The r/IrishLeft subreddit was defending this fucker. It was ludicrous
