“In the past 20 years, where I am, independent hog farming just silently disappeared as the corporates came in,” says Partridge. “I live on a hilltop. I can see seven farm families, people my kids went to school with. They’re all gone now.”
Kind of reminds me of how the Soviet Union and PRC worked together in supplying and building a land route to help the war effort against US aggression in Vietnam. Of course there were issues along the way but in the end Vietnam won reunification.

Thanksgiving is a holiday that celebrates the worst genocide in history: the colonization of the Americas which led to a staggering 130 million deaths. While I support the message of feeling grateful, I wonder if we could do that without celebrating mass murder
Should we watch this? “Hillbilly Elegy may not be overtly political, yet its message is deeply conservative. Over and over again it’s suggested that poverty is all in the mind.”
This fire is an illusion as it, like the the two party system of the US, lacks any penetrating and healing heat. The burn one can receive by standing close its fauxlame is the burn of shame for falling for its fakery
In his 1971 presentation at Yale University, he begins this portion of his talk by instead contrasting idealism and materialism. 45 In the 1974 text that we are reproducing here, he subjects both idealism and materialism to an approximately Cartesian-style series of skeptical
“Biden is the quintessential company man who can be counted on to hire a team of imperialists fully committed to the project of protecting the U.S.’ public relations image from the social unrest produced by endless war and austerity.”

Black and Indigenous people are calling for a national decolonial day of action. They are asking the people to participate by decolonizing their city with autonomous/anonymous direct action. Fuck thanksgiving! Fuck black friday!
In case some of you didn’t already know this: during the late 70s, the Khmer Rouge were wiping out - that’s murdering - entire Cham and Vietnamese villages along and the Cambodian boarder and within Vietnam, that made it impossible for Vietnam to not respond and invade Kampuchea.

Although “voting out fascism” was, as some would argue, a necessary strategy, could it also be said that Trumps defeat wasn’t really up to us to begin with - in fact the ruling class decided it was time for him to go, anyway?
Capitalism and inequality: A thread 1/x

“No sooner had they begun realizing the full potential of their tactical alliances with Roosevelt and CIO chief John L. Lewis than they began uncritically tailing them.”
What Can We Learn from the CPUSA’s History? “In their eagerness to demonstrate that white workers were valuable allies of the Black Liberation Movement, white party cadre were often guilty of paternalism. This made it hard for masses of 1/2 https://marxists.org/history/erol/ncm-8/lrs-cpusa.htm…
At the time he was talking about the former colonial regions called the Third World. Today, we, the Communists, “have the franchise” for socialism in the U.S. and through the world.”
As an old friend of mine, Harry Haywood, the author of Negro Liberation (1948) said to me when I knew him in the 1970s, we (meaning the Communists) “have the franchise” for socialism.

Imagine socialism being nothing more than a group stream of consciousness, in the formless mode of eclecticism, throwing ideas up against the wall and hoping something sticks. Yeah, we all know what happens: people die and suffer and soon we chose shiny over the DOP
Large crowds have stormed the Guatemala Congress building and set it on fire. Clashes under way between police and protesters, who are demanding resignation of the government which has passed a neoliberal budget leaving out the indigenous and poor.
