Do not forget about West Papua.

Do not forget about the colonial genocide being committed against the indigenous West Papuans.

excerpts from How the 🇻🇳 Vietnam War Explains Hamas' Strategy 🇵🇸 (extremely brief overview of the Vietnamese utilization of guerrilla warfare & how it relates to the Resistance's tactics)

Guerrilla warfare is usually when there's an asymmetry of power between one side and the other. Often fought between insurgents and a conventional army, and the conventional army loses if it does not win and the guerilla wins if he does not lose. In this type of warfare, the main objective of the guerrilla is to survive protracted fighting with the adversary, and avoid big decisive confrontation that play into the strength of a conventional army. The guerrilla keeps doing that until they overpower or wear down the enemy by consistently extracting a cost from them.

Most famously, the Vietcong used an extensive tunnel system that extended for tens of thousands of miles and served as their base to engage in effective guerrilla tactics. [...] For the Americans and South Vietnamese, it was like they were fighting ghosts, and the Vietcong was able to inflict heavy costs on them. In the face of this, U.S. deployed the longest and heaviest aerial bombardment in history by dropping over 7 million tons of explosives and killing over 3 million people. Their strategy was to cause so much death and destruction that people in the guerrillas would abandon their cause. But they never did. The U.S. government constantly lied to the American public about the war and justified it by framing this as a fight against "an immoral enemy." But as this became the world's first televised war, the horrific images from American massacres and the use of weapons like Agent Orange and napalm sparked outrage. This led to mass opposition to the war around the world and one of the largest protest movements in U.S. history. After 20 years of fighting, the Vietnamese were able to liberate and unify their country, and defeated the global superpower by maintaining the principles of guerrilla warfare: the conventional army couldn't win, and the guerrillas didn't lose. Does this sound familiar?

The longer Israel fights, the bigger impact it will have on its economy, given the size of its army in proportion to the country's population. That is a high cost to live with over a long period of time. Secondly, Israel's unrelenting bombardment of Gaza to establish deterrence by retribution and to have people turn on Hamas has caused mass death, destruction, and glaring war crimes, and is failing to crush people's appetite for liberation. And because of social media, these images have been broadcasted all over the world in a way that Israeli propaganda can no longer contain, sparking mass protests, solidarity, and pressure globally, which is starting to have an impact on domestic politics in the U.S. and the rest of the West. Within this context, and after weeks of bombardment and a ground invasion, Israel has yet to achieve its military objectives or release prisoners held by Hamas through force. This is why they accepted a temporary ceasefire deal now even though it was on the table weeks ago. Because remember: in guerrilla warfare, the conventional army loses if it does not win, and the guerrilla wins if he does not lose. And at this point, Israel is not winning and Hamas has not lost.

The next two days mark the 71st anniversary of two momentous events in the history of the world's workers and oppressed peoples.

On July 26, 1953, Fidel Castro and his small guerrilla band struck the first blow of the Cuban Revolution with the attack on the Moncada Army Barracks. Although Fidel was captured and many compatriots killed, the action inspired people throughout the island to rise up against the hated U.S.-backed Batista regime. Less than six years later, the revolution triumphed.

The following day, July 27, 1953, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) declared victory in the Fatherland Liberation War, known in the west as the Korean War. With the aid of Chinese volunteers, the Korean People’s Army led by Kim Il Sung pushed back the U.S. imperialist assault that sought to destroy northern Korea’s socialist revolution and China’s as well. The U.S. was forced to sign an armistice, but even now refuses to enact a peace treaty and continues its military occupation of south Korea.

No one could have known at the time, but socialist Korea and socialist Cuba would forever be linked as strong pillars of the global class struggle against imperialism. These two countries served as beacons of revolutionary hope and principle during some of the grimmest counter-revolutionary events of the late 20th century and continue to inspire communists and anti-imperialists worldwide.

Long live socialist Korea and socialist Cuba!

Long live the Workers’ Party of Korea and the Communist Party of Cuba!

Peace treaty and reunification for Korea’s people now!

End the blockade of Cuba! #OffTheList

Death to U.S. imperialism!

The singing 🥹

The song says:

“We are not weakened, we are not weakened. We are the descendants of Muthanna On the path of glory we walked. Ask history about us”

Quick note: Muthanna was one of the Prophet (PBUH) companions and he was a fierce warrior.

I like how Rogue One, Andor and (albeit to a lesser degree) ROTJ show how the Rebel Alliance operates in an insurgent fashion.

With guerrilla warfare and all that.

I'm not sure why some people are surprised by this. It's an entirely different method and mindset of fighting when you have nothing left to lose and believe down deep in what you are doing. Compare that to untrained 19-20 year old idiot conscripts who would rather be on TikTok and have zero discipline and this is the result.

How can you repost this video⬆️, while saying this about indigenous people in West Papua fighting against Indonesia's colonialism?

The hypocrisy has left me frustrated and pissed off all day.

The operation against zionist forces stationed in the "Netzarim Corridor" south of Tal al-Hawa neighborhood, Gaza City.

THESE ARE THE NEW QASSAM RECRUITS THEY'RE NEW FIGHTERS RECRUITED IN 2024 OMG

“2024 recruits will be something you’ve never seen before”

So basically if the IOF killed 14k fighters like (they claim they did, I don't believe a single syllable from Zionist mouths ), they’ve been replaced. The resistance will never, never die.

Hello there. i requested advice from the Albatross representative earlier and they directed me to you.

I am currently engaged in a guerilla warfare campaign on the fringe of union space, we are attempting to free a low technological base world from the control of multiple local sector corporate state's who have begun a planetary civil war.

i would like to request if you have any advice and or other forms of assistance you can offer in the way of fighting back against a foe with significant technological and industrial edge.

Signed: [REDACTED]

It's going to be hard to advise you without specifics, but here are some good general principles:

A pound of captured resources is worth twenty pounds of produced resources: you should make a priority of stealing as much as possible from your enemies. Not just military equipment to reverse-engineer but also supplies. Make their huge production capacity work for you

Know your environment: while your enemies' tech is more advanced than yours, odds are it is not made specifically for this theater. If you play your cards right, you can defeat them with "worse" equipment that's specialized for your situation.

An injured enemy can hit worse than a dead one: injured soldiers weigh on supply trains and hospital infrastructure, and that can make trying to occupy your planet very expensive very fast.

Use "dumb" systems: electronics are subvertible and if your enemy is more advanced than you they'll have the edge in electronic warfare. Don't give them an opening to turn your electronics against you.

Without knowing the situation better that's all I feel confident saying, but I'll see if some former rangers are in your area and can support you more directly; you'd be surprised at how many took to the stars.

Finally, if you're able to buy from the wider galactic market, our stuff is precisely the sort of cheap and low-maintenance gear best suited to your situation. Lacking the capital of the larger manufacturers, we can't afford to supply you at a loss, but we can probably squeeze in a discount in the name of exposure.
