what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

please dont stop talking about palestine . i do not trust israel and there has been multiple ceasefires theyve completely ignored . if we do happen to see iof soldiers leave and no longer occupy palestine , they would still need to rebuild . this includes medical aid and addressing airborne diseases , finding displaced families and reuniting them , etc ... their entire infrastructure needs to be rebuilt so please do not forget about palestine and do not let the US take credit for their liberation .

30 Palestinians were killed in Gaza just since the ceasefire announcement less than 10 hours ago.

Think how depraved, sadistic, and arrogant an entity is to openly use the time between it had agreed to a ceasefire and it going into effect as a final stretch in a race of annihilation, a final show to the whole world of the stark asymmetry of power between the occupier and the occupied.

how do you feel about a heavy portion of communists being ableist? sending disabled people to prison for being physically unable to work and then acting like that didn't happen doesn't make disabled people confident that communism won't hurt them just as bad as capitalism (I'm not saying billions of trillions dies from communism I'm just saying ''those who won't work won't eat'' is fucking evil especially when I see that rhetoric in modern day! You can say 'oh a wheelchair user can do teaching or archiving' but that ignores how many disabled people are bedbound or fully paralyzed!)

ARTICLE 12. In the U.S.S.R. work is a duty and a matter of honour for every able-bodied citizen, in accordance with the principle: "He who does not work, neither shall he eat."

The principle applied in the U.S.S.R. is that of socialism : "From each according to his ability, to each according to his work."

[...]

ARTICLE 120. Citizens of the U.S.S.R. have the right to maintenance in old age and also in the case of sickness or loss of capacity to work.

This right is ensured by the extensive development of social insurance of workers and employees at state expense, free medical service for the working people and the provision of a wide network of health resorts for the use of the working people.

This is the USSR's 1936 consistution, emphasis mine. Not a perfect constitution by any means, but this is very clearly antithetical to what you believe happened. Disabled people in my own country today have less rights and even less guarantees of those rights being respected. Again, the USSR was not perfect and I'm not saying it was. But you're ascribing willful malice that is embedded in marxism to circumstances that were not easily circumvented. The USSR was an imperfect state lacking in sufficient social protections, which came from times of feudalism without any kind of protection in any aspects save for the nobility, and whose collapse led to unparalleled misery and war. "He who does not work shall not eat" never included disabled people. It's a slogan, and slogans are not nuanced. What the USSR never did was enshrine that slogan into law literally, it always explicitly addressed able-bodied people.

Let's also look at a more modern constitution, Cuba's, from 2019

ARTICLE 42. All people are equal before the law, recieve the same protection and treatment from authorities and enjoy the same rights, freedoms and opportunities, without discrimination on the basis of sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, ethnic origin, skin color, religious faith, disability, national or territorial origin, or any other condition or personal circumstance that implies a harmful distinction before human dignity.

All have the right to enjoy the same public spaces and establishments.

Likewise, receive the same salary for the same work, without any discrimination.

The violation of the principle of equality is outlawed and is sanctioned by law.

[...]

ARTICLE 64. The right to work is recognized. The person in condition to work has a right to obtain dignified employment, corresponding to their selection, qualification, aptitude, and economic and societal requirements.

ARTICLE 65. Every person has a right for their work to be compensated as a function of its quality and quantity, expression of the socialist principle "from each according to their capacity, to each according to their work".

[...]

ARTICLE 68. The person who works has a right to social security. The State, through the system of social security, guarantees their adequate protection when they are unable to work because of age, maternity, paternity, disability, or illness.

[...]

ARTICLE 70. The State, through social assistance, protects the people without resources or refuge, not capable of working, who lack family members able to bring them help; and to families who, due to the insufficient income they recieve, if they so choose, in accordance with the law

I don't see anywhere a part that says all disabled people are jailed. Cuba definitely does have effective and real protections for all kinds of disabled people, and just like the USSR, the principle of the duty to work is not applied directly to disabled people. It's hard still to find information on the practical application of disability protection that's not funded by Radio Free Whatever, but here's an article about Cuba's:

biden removing cuba from the state sponsor of terrorism list NOW is so fucking stupid. trump last act as president put cuba on the terrorism list. biden last act as president take cuba off the list. cuban lives continue to be nothing more than western pawns. cuba has experienced crisis after crisis during the biden administration and he only moves to do this now because no part of him actually wants to see cuba free. it's been over 66 years and these old white men are still pissing themselves in fear of latin american leftism, their sick need for control leading them to arbitrarily point fingers and cry "terrorist." we all know who the real terrorists are.

“The bill, sponsored by state Rep. Will Guzzardi, D-Chicago, and state Sen. Celina Villanueva, D-Chicago, would remove criminal penalties for adults engaging in consensual sex work, remove arrest and conviction records for sex workers and establish a sex workers’ bill of rights.

Advocates for sex workers said they believe these policy changes would offer sex workers the ability to better vet clients and meet with them in safer places. The proposed policy changes would also allow sex workers to report crimes against them without fear of consequences in their own lives.

“The threat of arrest and prosecution keeps sex workers unsafe and in the shadows, and this threat must be eliminated,” said Brian Johnson, CEO of Equality Illinois. “This law is essential now more than ever.”

Between 45% and 75% of all sex workers worldwide will experience violence at some point in their careers, according to a study published in the American Journal of Public Health. About two-thirds of trans people killed in Illinois in the last decade were sex workers, according to state data analyzed by Equality Illinois.”

it blows my mind how you can be a usamerican on this website and spend the past year+ reblogging posts about palestine, (rightfully) condemning the genocide, the occupation, denouncing zionism, and acknowledging that theres no excuse for joining the IOF, only to then turn around and suddenly act shocked and offended when the victims of US imperialism extend the same hatred and vitriol towards your military. all the horrific crimes the IOF is committing against the palestinian people, the US military has committed over and over across the globe, whether it is in cuba or korea, laos or afghanistan, iraq or vietnam, but god forbid you point this out because then all of a sudden the worlds most thin skinned people will crawl out of the woodworks to explain why US soldiers are actually just poor little meow meows. how are you any different from a zionist. be serious. and stop expecting the victims of your countrys imperialism, that you benefit from, to coddle you

an interview with the mayor of LA was aired where a journalist asks “do you owe citizens an apology for being absent whilst their homes were burning? do you regret cutting the fire department's budget?”

and someone is enraged the mayor is being asked this question they’re like “omg how dare you ask this!! this woman is clearly shaken up!! give her time!!” like… that’s what happens when you’re in a political position of power and you make fuck ass decisions like that and it’s perfectly normal and acceptable to ask this shit especially when you cut the LAFD budget to give more money to cops

I'm sorry but you will never see me endorsing any "critique" of the CPC's counterterrorism efforts in Xinjiang that doesn't put front and center the US's instrumentalization of Islamic terror groups for its geopolitical goals, and you won't see me endorse any """colonization""" narratives of Xinjiang that don't acknowledge the fundamentally different histories of Dzungaria and the Tarim Basin or the role that Uyghurs played, along with Hui Chinese, in ethnically cleansing Dzungaria of Dzungars and other Mongol minorities in the Qing dynasty. Chinese presence in the Tarim Basin predates the first written attestations of the "Dokuz Oghuz", before the first Uyghur Khaganate even emerged, by several centuries. Come the fuck on.

I do think the zionist project is really perhaps the most successful antisemitic project in the world. make the star of david synonymous with mass murder. make accusations of antisemitism and nazism laughable, define the jewish religion as inherintly genocidal
