Let's hope they did.
Israel gets to play the pretend game, after all. Why shouldn't Iran?
I was once an anarcho-communist, a Trotskyist sympathizer, a Maoist, a generic "communist", on and on. It is a learning process, and we are all growing.
Don't let others' opinions on your beliefs shape them necessarily. Be cognizant of differing views, but I suggest trusting yourself first and foremost. Trust your own research, trust your own ideas, trust your own thinking skills, and don't let people confuse or confound you.
U.S.'s "National Public Radio".
Don't let the name fool you, they receive more private funding than public funding. They even got mad at Musk for slapping a "U.S. government-affiliated media" label on their Twitter account, crying, "no, in fact, we're almost 99% privately owned!" and ditching the platform.
I have liked a couple of their programs, but even their best program cannot escape the confines of the liberal braincage.
Oh, during Bush's presidency, they banned the word torture from being used in any of their pieces detailing his administration, claiming it was a loaded and biased term to describe waterboarding. So.
There is but one gamma male. Dr. David Banner—physician, scientist—searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have. Then an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry. And now, when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs. The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter.
The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit. David Banner is believed to be dead. And he must let the world think that he is dead until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him.
Islam will liberate Taiwan inshallah
I've done it before. It's not a bad idea. Thanks!
Even if the supplements don't do much, it'll make me feel less bad about missing the sun so much and placebo can do its work.
I used to like winter. I used to be depressed year-round.
Hate winter, now. Midwest blows. Convinced I have seasonal affective disorder. Convinced you're abnormal if you live in the midwest and don't have it.
I was going on walks, working out. Now I don't wanna leave the house, ever. Winter blows.
Working retail at this time of year is hilarious. Thanksgiving and the 4th of July were panic-inducing enough. Inching closer to Christmas... can't wait for all those last-minute shoppers.
The DPRK (WPK) maintained principled stances before, during and after having 90% of their infrastructure leveled, 10% of their population killed, and their country brutally occupied and divided by imperial powers from all sides. They maintained their principles during the Sino-Soviet split. The collapse of the USSR. They have survived tragedy after tragedy and remained principled throughout it all.
I am not saying that the PRC does not help the DPRK. I am also not accusing you of being chauvinistic. I, however, think this is a chauvinistic idea, that the DPRK can only survive because of its socialist superpower neighbor(s). The DPRK has survived because of the DPRK.
I will say I work in a very dangerous or crime-heavy location, so we have to deal with cops a LOT. An obscene amount. There is a rather arduous process involved... store management needs to be there to grant access, a warrant is required, etc.
Well, it's mostly private surveillance so it's ok. Muh property rights and all that.
Thing bad when gubment does it. Thing good when corporation does it!
Seriously, did not expect this much easily comparable shit coming out of the mouths of elites. It's the same exact rhetoric used by conservatives and other anti-communist mouthpieces today.
I never disagreed that Amerika was Rome 2.0., but wow did I not know the extent of it. First tragedy, then farce.
Polybius and Cicero really be out here saying "we should take the best of both capitalism AND socialism" in the years of our lord ~200-40 B.C.

Tudeh (communist) Party of Iran statement: https://www.tudehpartyiran.org/en/2022/09/20/statement-of-the-tudeh-party-of-iran-down-with-the-dictator-there-is-no-end-to-the-regimes-murderous-thuggery/
A woman was seemingly murdered by the IRI’s religious police after being taken into custody for not wearing her hijab “properly”. Iranian officials deny this and claim she died of a heart attack. Looks like no one is buying this line.
Danny Haiphong thinks a color revolution is underway because of Iran’s pivot to the east. I haven’t seen this sort of line taken by anyone else yet, but I’m more keen to trust the Tudeh Party than a non-Iranian, as much as Haiphong is usually right. From my understanding and their own statements, Tudeh is not clamoring for some relationship with the West and are very aware of and against NATO, EU and U.S. imperialism. I doubt they’d be in favor of these protests if they thought they were spearheaded by western NGOs.
Lots of protests all over the country. Many chants recorded such as “long live socialism, long live communism” and “death to the dictator, down with Khamenei”. Complicating matters is that the murdered woman was Kurdish-Iranian and fittingly a lot of the protests began in heavily Kurdish regions of Iran. This is not to dismiss the plight of Kurdish people or their capacity for revolutionary struggle, but Kurds have been insidiously used and abused by the West to forment ethnic tensions in Iraq, Turkey, Syria and elsewhere before, and western media outlets are seemingly attempting to continue that legacy by drawing a clear divide by Iranian Kurds and non-Kurds.
There is a fog of reporting currently, with a lot of protest info being relayed to western media by Chatham House, a British think tank known recently as having been pushing a lot of anti-Russia stuff. U.S. officials also immediately “demanded accountability” of Iran and claimed the act was “unforgiveable”.
Any MENA comrades have thoughts? Do you think this could be a revolutionary moment, or a cynical attempt by NGOs to weaken Iran after they’ve closened to China?
Pushkin's monuments are currently being destroyed in the Ukraine, under the guise that Pushkin was instrumental in "Russifying" Ukraine.
Pushkin was a bit complicated. But Africans and African-Americans looked up to him as a brilliant poet of African ancestry venerated and respected in a majority 'white' nation. He was an "octaroon", but had dark skin and curly hair and he often commented on his own African features.
I find it sad to see his monuments destroyed. Disgusting as well. It must be gravy for these "de-Russifiers" that Pushkin was of African descent. Here's a metal ass poem he wrote against tsardom. Love to hear your thoughts.
