I hope you all have a nice week :D For some reason I keep forgetting
You too comrade! The days and weeks are starting to blur together for me, might just be the time of year.
You too Comrade!
Yay, my favourite thread! Have a nice week comrade!
So the people rioting in Brussel at the protest the other day are said to be linked to the former CCC, a ‘communist’ terrorist group from years ago who did terror attacks. CCC has always been suspected to be a part of Operation Gladio.
It could literally he a psyop.
Why aren’t we discussing generals in these threads? Patton can eat shit in hell!
My paternal family is from El Guettar, I’m in hahaha
On the other hand, praise be to Vo Nguyen Giap.
I loved it when he made the French shit their pants at Dien Bien Phu, with that artillery.
Have a good week, everyone! Times are rough right now, but I encourage all of you to stay positive, persevere, keep up with whatever personal goals you have! In troubled times, our efforts are most important.
As always, comrades, communism will win.
Have a nice week comrade! (You owe me an animal post. Dose are de rulez.)
Communism will triumph! o7
I can’t replace Oppo, but pika

Ooou good one!
Today 4 new F35 planes were supposed to be introduced to the country but one of them broke down on the way to here lmao can’t make this shit up. Overpriced garbage.
Thoughts on the new Malagasy president? Is he a new Traoré or a western puppet?
Do libs think that Trump is some sort of lich and that once the Epstein Files/his phylactery are released he’ll disintegrate?
They’ve developed this quasi-mythical image of Trump that he’s a unique evil entity that was summoned by Obama stepping down and that we leftists put into power by not believing in Joe and Kamala hard enough.
Libs thinks that the next best horrid revelation about Trump, no matter how much he brushes it off or seems affected by, would disintegrate him at any time
As usual, they have the {wilfully ignorant} memory of a goldfish, and I don’t bother with them.
The regional comprador agents have been shaking hands firmly with their friends in the Zionist entity and Washington today. This “prisoner exchange” and these colonial peace talks are a distraction that aim achieve nothing but to prolong a status quo until it’s no longer convenient. The real prisoners were always the Palestinians. To consider both sides “prisoners” on equal terms is a joke. We must never let this slide and always keep our eyes on occupied Palestine. Never stop talking about it, never stop protesting. Palestine forever.
I’m just really amused at how we’re no longer talking about how many prisoners were killed by the IDF.
The fact that they are not directing all the blame on Palestinians is better than their stances to scapegoat other repressed groups in Western countries in their racist moral standards towards nations of people of color. Even then, I will still call out on the claim that both side suffer equally is unrealistic.
- Palestinians are facing planned starvation and concentration camps unlike Israel settlers. - Israel forcebly took the land and housing of Palestinians without compensation unlike the Arabians who engaged in a slow assimilation of Hebrews in the former Israel kingdom.
- Israel state complained that Hamas cannot use violence regardless of the repression that Palestians faced while Israel themselves claim that Israel can freely stage terrorist attacks against innocent civilians.
- Israel claim that they are not accountable for any attacks that Israel deliberately made while blaming Palestinians for waging war to gain back the stolen land.
- Israel’s claim of right to ancestral land can also apply to Palestinians who have ancestors that reside in the ancient Israel kingdom.
There’s this Dutch streamer who makes mostly Goofy reaction vids and for some reason he went into climate policies and his chat went: ‘but China pollutes so much!’
And his response was how China is the factory of the world and not only that but they invest the most in green energy, and should be allowed to have some more pollution for being, you know, our factory.
And I was like what the hell is this pro China talk doing outside of my commie bubble all of a sudden. Is change upon us?
Who was it?
Shappo0
a reasonable view on china? in this economy!?
Reality has a pro-communist Bias. People who are not careful can accidentally spread communism by stating facts.
Is this another instance of Quantitative changes finally turning into Qualitative ones?

German media is being disgusting again by celebrating the “martyrdom” of the israhelli hostages, while erasing palestinian suffering completely. They even mentioned controversies surrounding President Netanyahu and that “controversies” being - hold your horses - corruption. Hell I even heard that Turkey is the main sponsor hamas now.
Complete genocide denial. What an abhorrent clown show .
ironic calling them martyrs seeing as the only ones that died were killed by friendly fire
To top the hipocrisy off, the israeli army, true to their “scorched earth” policy, set fire to the water treatment facility that was FUNDED by the germans
Also, that mf who burned food deserves the worst.
Ironically things like that are now used by the media to browbeat (allegedly) the german government for naively funding hamas and that they should do „more for israhell“ - of course they called the protesters „jewhaters“ and even had a dude comment how he no longer feels safe as a jew in germany.
Hell I even heard that Turkey is the main sponsor hamas now. I wish

Went to a trans group therapy session and met many great people there; first great session.
This was yesterday.
80 years ago today the Communist Party of North Korea was founded, which eventually went on the become the ruling Workers’ Party. Glory to the DPRK.

So in a completely unsurprising turn of events Belgium has to follow strict EU budget cut rules.
EXCEPT FOR DEFENSE SPENDING. Which can be kept outside of the entire budget. For four more years.
So for four more years we can spend whatever we want on defense. But have to do budget cuts all around.
In four years we have elections. And with budget cuts done by neolibs there is a chance of getting some sort of left wing government then due to public outrage. Which in turn has no spending room because then defense spending gets taken into budget.
What do you think the situation in the EU is gearing up towards in the next 4 years? At some point something has to budge. If I have a right read on it, the further right parties in EU countries aren’t super thrilled with the defence spending, further deindustrialisation, and worsening relations with Russia regarding Ukraine and the energy crisis.
I haven’t seen much that gives me hope that the left would be able to capitalise on this more than already-popular far-right parties. I’m not very familiar with the situation in countries like Belgium and the Netherlands though.
While some right wing parties are against increased spending I don’t think that will stop it. If I look at The Netherlands virtually every party is in favor of increased spending of some sort. Even PVV. And in countries where the far right is against, there is always the option of excluding them from governments.
More important is that the EU itself is heavily in favor of increased spending and ultimately they decide what their members states can and cannot do. So even if you as a member state go against the EU policy, you will face their consequences.
For The Netherlands I don’t have much hope. Even the left wing parties are in favor of increased spendings. Unions don’t really seems to make a fuss. For Belgium I have some more hope. Our party is heavily against and at least we have a good sized following. Unions are very vocally against it too. On Tuesday we had 140k people marching in Brussels against austerity and increased defense spending.
The leaves are changing their clothes, the cool autumnal air is flowing. A lot of changes are coming to my life, rather quickly, and it’s fitting that it coincides with the changing of the seasons in such a dramatic and all-too-quick fashion. Sometimes life has a real poetry to it. Remembering that, and being present for it, helps keep us steadfast when times are tough and the road uncertain.
