A lot of you probably know about An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. I found out that it's actually part of a series along with six other US history books (Afro-American, African American and Latinx, Asian American, Black Women's, Disability, and Queer histories of the US). Has anyone read these other books or knows if they're good? They're all available for free on Libgen or Anna's Archive.

We should add this: "'You are dictatorial.' My dear sirs, you are right, that is just what we are. All the experience the Chinese people have accumulated through several decades teaches us to enforce the people's democratic dictatorship, that is, to deprive the reactionaries of the right to speak and let the people alone have that right." – Mao Zedong, On the People's Democratic Dictatorship

Looking up the artist (N. Lisogorsky) shows results from the 1960s and 1970s so I'm guessing it's from around the 1960s civil rights movement.

Azerbaijan annexed Artsakh today. The CIA-installed leader of Armenia, Pashinyan, has already recognized it as part of Azerbaijan.

Hamas used to have a similar thing in their charter but they removed it in 2017. Their current charter says:

Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.

and

Hamas is of the view that the Jewish problem, anti-Semitism and the persecution of the Jews are phenomena fundamentally linked to European history and not to the history of the Arabs and the Muslims or to their heritage

Taiwan has been under Chinese influence since the Han dynasty 2000 years ago. After the fall of the Ming dynasty in the 1640s, a Ming prince fled to the island and set up his own rogue kingdom, which was reunified with the Qing dynasty in the 1680s. Taiwan then became a prefecture of Fujian Province until 1885, when it became its own province. Japan occupied it in 1895 and controlled it until 1945, when the Allies signed a treaty returning it to China, which was in a civil war at the time.

The casualties were widely exaggerated by the mujahideen to use as propaganda. The USSR actually killed far fewer civilians than the US. The Triumph of Evil starting at page 65 has a good explanation.

Pol Pot attacked Vietnam in 1978 and Vietnam overthrew him as a response. He had already been killing ethnic Vietnamese in Cambodia since 1977.
