if you try to stop an election you eat a bullet. period.

i think she shouldn't have burned down the SPD's newspapers and murdered dozens of people by trying to overthrow the government to stop a democratic election

oh sorry i missed that one. rosa luxemburg got what was coming to her. the only problem is that the SPD didn't do it itself.

the zentrum party was not centrist.

e.g., zentrum took a neutral position on the issue of democracy. it was a catholic-chauvinist party.

zentrum was not a centrist party

It’s nice that a number of Republican electeds are standing up for America’s long-term alliances. But there’s only one way they can possibly save U.S. power and security: impeach and convict Trump, Vance, and the entire cabinet. If they do it soon they’ll even still hold the presidency.

"i would get coup'd very strongly if i actually tried to do this, but they said i can put some meaningless tariffs up that won't be enforced, as a treat"

if there was any doubt that they intend to invade Greenland, it’s been put to rest

I just fucking hate him from the bottom of my heart.

He is hell-bent on destroying everything for nothing

ICE: "followed by will stancil"

franz von papen, the guy who led an attempted Prussian monarchist coup against the SDP, was a centrist

neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now

the early communists at least were trying to build utopia, and were willing to build the gulag if it was necessary to get there. these days sometimes it seems like internet communists are trying to build the gulag, and are willing to refer to utopia sometimes if it lets them get there.

"you should get killed for disagreeing with Stalin" was something modern Stalinists believe but not something Stalin himself ever claimed. it was true but no one was allowed to say it was.

Worth remembering that way back when we had that first Signal chat leak that at no point did anyone say "the president said X." Instead we got Miller saying "my sense is the president wants ___"

nobody defended these things as they were happening! Stalin treated them as shameful. he lied and denied them. even the show trials pretended to have evidence.

tankieism is a worse ideology than the actual ideology which murdered all those people because at least the murder was hypocritical

i just don't think it's great that i'm expected to respect people who openly fantasize about murdering me

Yeah I think this is a good summary of the situation

It’s encouraging to see some elected Democrats choosing to exercise the powers of their office without delay or apology

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

now THIS is POSTING

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

the crazy thing about modern M-Ls is that the two largest causes of death among committed communists in the 20th century are Hitler and Stalin, and i'm not sure which of the two comes out ahead

REPORTER: Do you commit to not militarily engaging NATO partners?

TRUMP: I don't talk about that

REPORTER: You're not willing to commit to not attacking a NATO partner?

If you’re going on ICE watch, please please please do not carry a gun. They have more guns. You will not win and they are looking for a reason. Just follow and observe and alert

yeah the USSR shouldn't have liquidated its officer corps for imagined crimes, made an alliance with the Nazis to split Poland, murdered the Polish officer corps, ended the popular fronts against fascism, turned over German and Austrian communists to the Nazis, and demilitarized the Nazi border

it was a 6-3 holding that the approval power of the Dept. of the Interior did not have to be used in the interest of the Navajo Nation.
