Good luck with that, reporter: Palestinian right of armed resistance

[UN] General Assembly resolution A/RES/38/17 (22/11/1983) stated that it “Reaffirms the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for their independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial domination, apartheid and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle”.

Did this post even make sense in the original German, before you passed it through a bad translator? 😂

Finally a major union shows some backbone to the party that’s taken them for granted for a generation.

“Neither major candidate was able to make serious commitments to our union to ensure the interests of working people are always put before Big Business,” Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien said in a statement.

He added, “We sought commitments from both [former president Donald] Trump and [Vice President Kamala] Harris not to interfere in critical union campaigns or core Teamsters industries—and to honor our members’ right to strike—but were unable to secure those pledges.”

The union, which at 1.3 million members is one of the largest in the world, collected input on an endorsement from its members through straw polling and a QR poll from a code printed on a union magazine, a vice president at large of the union, John Palmer, said.

The Teamsters have for decades endorsed Democratic presidential candidates. The union supported Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020. They also backed Barack Obama in both of his presidential runs, John Kerry in 2004 and Al Gore in 2000.

How the fuck did Israel think this was a good idea?

Probably for the same reason it thinks committing genocide is a good idea.

Until you dismantle your devices, you don’t know, but unless a terrorist state like Isn’treal wants you dead, they almost definitely don’t have bombs in them. It’s not something I’m the least bit worried about.

This Tweet isn’t a patsoc one so much as a “maybe later kiddo” one. Or, if we give it the benefit of the doubt, it is criticism of woke imperialism, which he’s written about before.

Garrido seemed to be the least odious of the Midwestern Marxists, but instead of splitting from them, he signed the Declaration of the American Communist Party along with other patsoc & nazbol grifters. I bought but haven’t yet read his book, The Purity Fetish and the Crisis of Western Marxism, which was endorsed by Gabriel Rockhill and Radhika Desai. It’s too bad he’s gone all-in with these folks.

😂 The three volumes of Capital alone are about 2,000 pages, then there are Marx’s other works, and Engel’s works, and Lenin’s works, and onward. Hundreds of thousands of pages.

Das Kapital is the most cited book in the social sciences published before 1950
