My bike was stolen a couple of days ago and comrade @pashukanist.bsky.social delivered a perfect comment saying that there would be no bike theft under communism since everyone could get a free bike for personal use. I dare you to find a better argument in favour or communism.

Epic handshake meme where it says “Danish Marxism” on one arm, “Dutch Marxism” on the other, and “Marxism but with bicycles” on the hands.

Much of the US left thinks Ukraine should just be a Russian satrap and likewise much of US liberalism thinks Palestine ought to either be obliterated or be an Israeli satrap.

Given that Trump rolled the red carpet for Netanyahu, in the first official visit his second admin received, there is really little that’s new in him giving a warm welcome to Putin.

I used to go at enormous lengths debating my fellow Ukrainians (especially pro-Israel ones) telling them that if we lose the war, our situation will be very much like that of Palestine. People laughed at me.

"Russia and the United States have discussed Israel’s occupation of the West Bank as a model for ending the war in Ukraine"

“Ukraine will never give up its sovereignty. But the reality is it’ll be occupied territory and the model is Palestine.”

An abomination.

Yes, right, since the occupation of the West Bank has proved to be an astounding success as the governance model👍👍👍

Kevin Rothrock @kevinrothrock.me · Aug 13

Oof: “Russia & the US have discussed Israel’s occupation of the West Bank as a model for ending the war in Ukraine. [..] Russia would have military & econ control of occupied Ukraine under its own governing body, imitating Israel’s de facto rule of Palestinian territory seized from Jordan in 1967.”

US and Russia ‘propose West Bank-style occupation of Ukraine’

Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff is understood to support the idea, which can be revealed before the president meets Putin in Alaska on Friday

This is an absolutely indispensable read that provides a sharp, comprehensive materialist analysis of Palestinian oppression. Get it, read it, discuss it with comrades, use it to inform your movement’s means and ends. @pashukanist.bsky.social @rafeefz.bsky.social

It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.

My favourite bit is how he doesn’t believe the French have become (!) closed and racist. As if Françafrique is not a thing or the metropole doesn’t still have some overseas departments here and there in the Caribbean.

My sense is that there is generally a lack of awareness (outside the Nordics, perhaps) that the Nazi ideology has had both quite a past and apparently a present in the Swedish society: the ‘human rights’ image at work.
