  • Really depends on what you define the German left as.

    The left in Germany is very divided, the communist party collapsed into numerous splinters(however, each one is actually growing in popularity), Die Linke can’t really control itself in its own contradictions, you could say the anti-Germans currently dominate the political ‘left’ scene.

    But they’re not really organised, there’s no mass movements, no real school of thought, it’s more or less a state propagated mindset into the masses, it sometimes catches people, but it really isn’t a structured force. It can be be easily replaced by the collective action of a vanguard proletariat party.

    It’s not completely bleak, most anti-germans are SPD or Die linke supporters anyways, and wouldn’t like to see their positions of wealth be challenged by an actual party for the workers.

    They’re libs, so they will lose (or have already lost by the massive Palestinian protests in Germany) the support of the proletariat.








  • I also find it weird that there are so many together

    I’m not well versed in IDF tactics, however I know the basic of the operation which the Israelis are conducting.

    1. They’re buddled up due to fact these are forces trying to occupy an area of the city, likely some market place, poor tactics really but the IDF are desperate, and they’re not well known to have the most competent leadership.

    2. Israeli’s are using predominately armoured vehicles rather than infantrymen, it’s like the polar opposite of Ukraine. The reason’s for this is urban compact requires Armor to shield itself from small arms fire, Palestinian snipers are also very well trained, and several IDF soldiers testify just how effective they are.

    3. Mobility kills don’t really matter, if the tank crew abandons the armoured vehicles, its effectively gone. And the IDF are likely never going to recover these vehicles, it’s simply not a strategy which the military command, nor the cowardly IDF soldiers are ever going to do.


  • Don’t worry guys, we just need 5 more years of genocide joe Joey our friendly uncle sam, hopefully he’ll listen to us instead of voting off crime bills! Or voting to send weapons to bomb & kill, Or breaking up railway strikes, or passing corporate lobbyist laws in his home state Delaware, or giving money to the MIC, or giving more subsidies to corporations, or removing all the welfare benefits after covid-19.

    You know what? This gag is unfunny, fuck joe biden supporters, you middle class shits would rather have a concentration camp in your garden rather than socialist reforms



  • a) Was the Great Famine real?

    It was.

    b) If so, was it as bad as we’re taught in the west

    It was pretty bad, nothing like the fudged numbers of 60-80 million people dying, but 20-30 million are rumoured to have perish in that tragedy.

    c) Was it directly linked to Mao’s Great Leap Forward

    It was, but you must ask yourself why the great leap forward happened in the first place. Right after the Khrushchev got elected, the revisionist Soviets recalled industrial experts and scientists, effectively stopping its supplying or aiding of China’s industrial efforts, it was effectively an embargo on China, this completely crippled China’s momentum and forced Mao to take a radical approach of self-sufficiency to industrialize China in a way it can compete with other industrial nations.

    The failure of the great leap forward was due to being a desperate plan rather than well-thought out one (that being said, many benefits actually did come from the GLF, such as literacy rates improved and living conditions were developed, so it wasn’t a complete failure), after the great leap forward came the Ultra Poverty-worshipping communists such as the gang of five, who stated all that China needed to do was stay the course, and China would find itself a developed-industrialized nation in no time.

    Had Khrushchev and the Bukharinite faction not took over after Stalin’s death, the Chinese wouldn’t have to be forced into such desperate measures such as the great leap forward, nor would the sino-soviet split even have happened. It’s another reason why Mao had Nixon come over to china in the 1970s, it was desperation, and China needed its productive forces to be sufficiently developed, it needed foreign technology to accomplish this.
