That one I'm not too knowledgeable enough about but I'm under the impression it makes a lot more sense to call for abolishing ICE as a real political goal than abolishing the family or the police
Literally me when I got a new Xiaomi headset, this shit has SOUND. ISOLATION. It makes a beach noise when you turn it on and when you put it on you can't hear the outside!
wowowow hold on man you're not going to cast the le epic bacon anti-fascist vote for bdawg?
This is not a discussion worth having in any online communist community, its not the votes from the people in these forums that will make a difference no matter which state you live in.
On election day go out to vote if you feel like it, if you don't, do something else
I thought the point of a Wagenknecht party was that it could take votes FROM the afd (and others due to her being a popular figure), has she ever actually said that she'd work with that party?
Unless by "fascists" you mean anyone not very socially liberal, in that case I agree it's my understanding that she wouldn't close her party's ranks to social conservatives.
I remember seeing a tweet a few weeks ago with Die Linke polling a 5% (as they have for years) saying "what's even the point of die linke?" and...yeah sad to think they won't even be able to hold on to what little they have because of this split
Unrelated to anything but last weekend I went to the portuguese communist party's Avante Festival where, besides a whole lot of cool fucking stuff, several communist/progressive parties are represented, some of them have restaurants others have stands and stuff.
The CPC stand, as usual, had some high tech gadjets as well as traditional chinese products at very good prices, how good? I walked away with a 250€ Xiaomi headset for 40€. Also got Cuban cigars and rum.
But yeah I encourage everyone to come every year it's a lot of fun, here's some photos and a video from last year, this was when the attacks on the party for our position on ukraine were the fiercest and this year even MORE people showed up which meant longer lines (which is very socialist) but also was very nice to see
Cuba has plenty to lose by doing like Syria and the DPRK and fully backing Russia in this conflict, not the least of which is there diplomatic reputation but also whatever volume of trade they're still able to have with, say, the EU and the west
Statement from the Cuban ministry of foreign affairs about cuban mercenaries in ukraine:
The Ministry of the Interior has detected and it is working to neutralize and dismantle a human trafficking network that operates from Russia in order to incorporate Cuban citizens living there and even some living in Cuba, into the military forces that participate in military operations in Ukraine. Attempts of this nature have been neutralized and criminal proceedings have been initiated against those involved in these activities.
Ok but my point is you don't look at JUST meloni to judge the willingness of the whole european far right to follow the US, Meloni and her party are fiercely atlanticist in a way that the 3 examples I mentioned aren't, a hint at their difference is if they are in the ID or the ECR group in the euro parliament, ID parties "tend" to be "softer" on, say, russia and china but not always, and if one of these parties actually were willing to, for example, pull the plug on ukraine support if it came to power I don't see why america wouldn't act to keep that party from power. They didn't need to do that with meloni because she's always been a vocal supporter of american strategy.
I'm just saying this to complicate things a bit, I don't think it's certain at all that these EU-US skeptical far right parties would actually follow through on it, it's sort of like asking whether trump would actually stop backing ukraine, can't say for certain
