Lula Vetoes Law That Would Have Reduced Sentences for Coup Plotters in Brazil
In an act laden with democratic symbolism, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva exercised his total veto power on Thursday, January 8, to halt the Dosimetry Law, a bill promoted by the right wing in Brazil’s National Congress that would have benefited, among others, former President Jair Bolsonaro.

Venezuela to release prisoners in 'peace' gesture'
Venezuela released citizens and foreigners from its prisons on Thursday in what a top government official described as a gesture to “seek peace” less than a week after former President Nicolás Maduro was captured by U.S. forces to face federal drug-trafficking charges in New York. Jorge Rodríguez, brother of acting President Delcy Rodríguez and head of the National Assembly, said a “significant number” of people would be freed, but he was not specific about how many or provide names.

US set to file criminal charges against the crew of seized Russian-flagged oil tanker
US Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on social media that the crew of the Marinera, also known as the Bella 1, undertook “frantic efforts to avoid apprehension” of the tanker, which was allegedly “responsible for transporting sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran.” She added: “As a consequence of failing to obey the coastguard’s orders, members of this vessel are under full investigation and criminal charges will be pursued against all culpable actors.

Also btw according to polls 14% of americans support communism, and like twice that support socialism. Your numbers are probably conservative, there's a large pool of potential recruits out there if we could reach them and utilize their very limited time, energy, and resources effectively.

While networks of extremely dedicated and disciplined communists will form the backbone of the proletarian state, large numbers of the masses will have to be brought into conspiracy against the bourgeois state and in material support of the proletarian armed forces.

I am a Liberal

Do I not know where the left discusses stuff online or is there just a lack of such spaces?

I'm going to post the ones I know about that are primarily English, even if they're full of liberals just to keep track of this. Please help me with any that I've missed.

Sounds crazy, I know, but I think Xi-fans should at least consider the flaws of China's "Do nothing, win" strategy, and how it may paradoxically still lead to its undoing.

The US bourgeoisie knows it can't beat China in head-on conventional warfare. So, it doesn't.

Porky has put a lot of effort since the Vietnam War to avoid making Amerikkkans feels the impacts of US wars of aggression to great success. Despite the amount of conflicts the US is involved in as we speak, anti-war sentiment is negligable. There was nothing like the anti-war movement during Vietnam, which by itself wasn't even strong enough to end the war either. It was the Vietnamese who militarily defeated the US that ended the war.

Amerikkkan reliance on proxies and mercs is the key to maintain the Empire. If they can make China's neighbours fight them in their stead, they they can win, and have East Asia plundered, like they have plundered Eastern Europe since the 90s, to give capitalism another 50 years.

China has failed to counter this problem completely, letting country after country on their borders fall into US hands in recent years. Once friendly countries turned into enemies.
China's rebranded 'socialism in one country' strategy isn't enough to resist US aggression. The US doen't need to do much to blockade Chinese shipping, and block all imports from entering the mainland. Going from "random" drone boats sent from US vallal states, to airstrikes and piracy conducted by US forces themselves, which they have been training for through the recent attacks on Russian and Venezuelan ships.
China can't retaliate against this adequately, due to their lack of bases or proxies of their own around Amerikkkan territory.

China's complete neglegt of this danger may be its downfall. For all their greatness, they cannot last against a neval blockade, land siege and hybrid warfare, the US has been preparing for.

This is why solidarity is so important. Supporting comrades in other countries isn't about kindness. It ensures you will not be attacked by brothers turned against you.

We know why they don't label mainstream religious beliefs as delusions and why they come up with their numbers-based cope about what constitutes a delusion: because they'd run themselves out of business if they insulted so many people. Ergo, they prioritize money, killing their credibility with everything else. How is one supposed to know whether or not they're drawing out treatment to get more money?

Scientific evidence show that kids a few months younger in a classroom have more adhd "diagnosis". Kids who are in classrooms that don't have 32 pupils but 24nare reduced risk of "adhd". it's a literal scam.

It is Astrology but with institutional funding. Psychology is bullshit. It's just to get easy money.

Now that Maduro is captured, is it likely that Cuba will be invaded? Will there be a civil war in Venezuela later on? This fits up with Israel's attack on Sinwar and the fall of Damascus. Is warfare going to be shorter? Or is it a one off?

The collapse of America is funny to see Bush was Trajan

im someone whose been interested in secret societies and clandestine shit, but i was always surprised how there were so few left-wing ones, compared to the myriad of right wing secret societies, since the only one i could find anything about is the spanish anarchist secret org called "The Disinherited".

why does the left seemingly not utilize secret societies, or are most of the left secret socs just really good at staying secret?

What is the actual deal with these retarded states? Is everyone who lives here just a completely 24/7 propagandized zombie? Are they all just ruled through an iron fist by a NATO-imposed oligarchy? Is there any possible hope for these basket cases to ever reclaim their sanity?
