the fact that israel is straight up raping and torturing flotilla activists from all over the world and it’s not an international crisis it’s not putting a stop to anything, what is going ON

You know that feeling of dread, of waiting for the inevitable collapse? That the entire system has outlived its usefulness and functionality? Join an organization and get involved in preparing to step into the void capitalism will leave when it finally collapses in on itself.

“… oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.” - Communist Manifesto

The Cuban government was defending itself and its people against the umpteenth incursion from Cuban reactionaries. Using this logic, the list of crimes of US presidents is 250 years long. Every US president is a war criminal. Every single one. Cuba Libre 🇨🇺 www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Cuba is still blockaded, the US is still strangling the Cuban people for daring to control their own destinies. And, of course, there are the billion Cuban vendepatrias who just want back what mean old Castro took from mommy and daddy all those years ago: www.peoplesworld.org/article/the-...

This is how dialectical materialism works! 🔥 youtu.be/dXhvJORdNWE

1965: We need the VRA to protect minorities’ voting rights. Reps: 😡We’re not racist anymore, and the VRA is government tyranny!😡 2026: Conservatives functionally repeal VRA Reps: 🎉Time to redistrict non-white voting into oblivion!🎉 Dems: someone really should stop them 😐🤷‍♂️

If you get mad at a communist for pointing out that liberals support fascists, please educate yourself. “Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism” (Lenin) “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” (Shirer) “Fascism and Big Business” (Guerin) It’s okay to be ignorant. Just don’t stay ignorant.

If you are wondering why the Dems are so gd ineffective at resisting Trump’s fascism, know that historically, libs always support fascists. Fascism is capital’s last-ditch attempt to restore its control over society. Libs are capitalists. Thus they are actually fine with fascism.

The last shipment of Persian Gulf oil from before the closure of Hormuz has arrived in California. Whatever price hikes you’ve experienced so far were the small rumblings before the earthquake hits. Brace for impact.

Could the US-Iran War 2026 be a parallel to the Russo-Japanese War 1905? Both exposed imperial giants as paper tigers, and - Gaia willing - both will end up laying the groundwork for future revolutions.

When you hear right wingers and libertarians insist that minimum wage and 8-hour workdays were “um actually” granted by the capitalists, send them this: www.peoplesworld.org/article/may-...

If you are in the US, get to a May Day event near you! The mood of the working masses in the US is changing as fascism generates its backlash that will lead to its own demise. Now is the time to organize!

Happy May Day! The people united will never be defeated! El pueblo unido jamás será vencido! Народ единый непобедимый! 团结的人民永远不被击溃 الشعب المتحد لن يُهزم أبداً Le peuple uni ne sera jamais vaincu! Das vereinte Volk wird niemals besiegt werden!

“The most dangerous people of all… are those who do not wish to understand that the fight against imperialism is a sham and humbug unless it is inseparably bound up with the fight against opportunism.” - V. I. Lenin Translation: you must fight imperialism abroad AND capitalism at home!

“Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread.” - J. Stalin

BDS the US!

“Despair is inherent among those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggling.” - Lenin, “L. N. Tolstoy and the Modern Workers’ Movement.” 1910. Feeling despair? Read Marx to learn the causes of evil, Lenin to learn the way out, and organize to struggle!

There were multiple attempts against Hitler’s life, too. This is, what, attempt number 4? This isn’t going to stop any time soon.

Don’t believe the US regime and its news outlets re: peace talks w/ Iran. It has lost the war but, for purposes of Trump’s ego and its own propaganda, it must pretend otherwise. “All reactionaries are paper tigers.” -Mao Zedong 🇺🇸🧻🐅

Literally no notes on this. It is a perfect summation of why the answer is clearly, definitively, resoundingly “yes, China is socialist.” Dialectical material analysis FTW yet again! youtu.be/GuxED3ktDVQ

There are a lot of MAGA who are jumping ship, saying they “didn’t know” or “think” it would “get this bad,” or variations thereof. The working class CANNOT let these people escape the consequences of their actions. They must be held accountable for their role in American fascism.

Americans are individualistic, vengeful, lose their minds if deprived of creature comforts, and kept ignorant and politically sidelined. Cubans are communal, forgiving, survive with nothing thanks to the illegal blockade, and some of the most informed and educated people on Earth.

Ngl, the Iran lego videos are going HARD. What’s amazing is, most of the people I know who watch them are just nodding in agreement. Everyone understands these videos are telling no lies.

Warehouses across the US are being set ablaze. Most well-known is in Ontario, CA. The employee who set the fire repeated, “All you had to do was pay us enough to live.” Joining an organization to engage in community action is still best. But I’ll be honest… I and a lot of others don’t hate this.

Sharing a post from Lazy Izdihar today. This was really great, very succinct, and not only explains the importance of understanding theory as a way to be able to accurately describe and understand the world, and how to relate to it; it’s also just solid life advice. youtube.com/shorts/JLWw9...

Reminder: The Palestinian gen0c1de is still happening. ICE is still killing people. Cuba is still being strangled. AI is still destroying society. The Epstein class is still in charge. The working class still needs to organize. This does not end unless we make it end.

This is what a “ceasefire” looks like for the US empire and its unsinkable aircraft carrier in West Asia. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

“For the advance of a revolution, it is usually not enough that the “lower classes do not want”, it is also required that the “upper classes are not able” to continue the old way of life.” - V. I. Lenin, “The Collapse of the Second International” It is up to us to make the status quo unbearable.

Trump refuses to acknowledge bombing civilian infrastructure is a war crime and calls Iranians “animals.” If socialist USSR or China ever did or said 1/100th of what capitalist US does or says… Capitalism is the supreme war crime. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/...

Almost everything that has happened in the last 40 years can be directly or indirectly traced back to Khrushchev, Gorbachev, and the illegal dissolution of the USSR. We truly are living in the worst timeline. Does anyone think any of this would be happening if the SU were still around?

I have been thinking quite a bit lately about what kind of world we would be living in if the USSR had not been illegally dissolved. The betrayal of socialism and communism by Khrushchev and Gorbachev set back human civilization by at least a century.

Someone needs to do an updated version of “We Didn’t Start the Fire.” The problem is, so many enormous, earth-shattering events have happened since the song came out in 1989, an updated song would take 5 hours to get through, just listing everything. Any musicians out there up to the challenge?!

Gonna start trying to post at least once daily, whether it’s a funny meme or a take on the news. Here’s a chuckle to get us started.

Ignore all the propaganda and BS from mainstream media and the government; let the Cuban voice speak for itself, and be heard around the world. They understand what is happening to them, and why. Their resilience should inspire us. If they can do it, so can we. www.peoplesworld.org/article/yo-a...

Trump’s “peace plan” is a joke. The US and Israel are LOSING. They’ve proven time and again not to be trustworthy. No way is Iran going to accept limits on their missile arsenal. If anything, they’re going to expand it, and drones. This now ends when Iran says it does. apple.news/AUE71OIgjT1m...

IF this turns out to be the start of WWIII (hopefully not), it is curious that all 3 world wars will be started by capitalist nations bumping up against the limits and contradictions of capitalist production and imperialism, desperate to overcome them but to also avoid socialism… hmm… 🤔

The US and Israel have quickly realized they bit off more than they can chew with Iran. This is the crisis moment that presents the opening. Nothing is promised but the opportunity! We must do the work ourselves. The time to get involved is not tomorrow, not after the war, not later, NOW!

Please resist the urge to celebrate the killing of the Ayatollah as a great moment for Iran and Iranian democracy. Foreign intervention does not create freedom; only the organized masses can do that. Chinese proverb: ”An egg broken from the outside is food. Broken from the inside, it is new life.”
