In 2006, the artist Hayv Kahraman moved to the US, then occupying her homeland, Iraq, and began painting a woman who has been a fixture of her work ever since. With parchment-pale skin, a swoosh of raven hair, scarlet lips and strong brows, this figure recalls the characters set against unadorned backgrounds in 12th-century Baghdad’s miniature painting, while her apple-round breasts and cool, heavy-lidded gaze suggest a quattrocento nude, rendered with the clean lines of Japanese prints.
It is a composite identity its maker understands well. Kahraman was 11 when she was smuggled out of Iraq during the first Gulf war. Her family settled in Sweden, where she spent her teens; she now lives in Los Angeles. “As an immigrant, I’ve always felt on the periphery of society,” she says.
Watching her mother work as a translator for government agencies, Kahraman saw the demand for refugees to repeat their trauma. “It creates an economy of pain where suffering becomes a currency,” she says. “So how do we get unstuck? How do we not only survive but thrive?”
In the past 15 years she has used her painted women to investigate the refugee condition from often surprising angles. The figures have become contortionists; canvases have been sliced up and rewoven into abstract patterns, in an allegory of the fragmented nature of memory, culture and trauma. A recent Covid-centric series interrogated the martial language of immunology, in which the human fortress is seen to be “invaded” or “colonised” by foreign bodies.

The ProPali propaganda would have people believe that a Palestinian state, and the Palestinian people existed for thousands of years. The truth is that a Palestinian state never existed, and while Arabs lived in the region for hundreds of years - many of them immigrated to the region after 1882, and they never considered themselves a separate people. They had a pan-Arab identity. Hundreds of thousands of them have roots, some very recently, in Egypt, Iraq, Yemen, the Arabian peninsula etc.  Only in the 1960s the narrative of the Palestinian people was created by the PLO.  There are many people alive today who lived in the 1960s and remember this. Lots of evidence, including the speeches of MLK which do not mention the Palestinians. Because the name wasn’t widely accepted by the time he died. 
A nation has typical characteristics like leaders, documentation, currency - none of these exist for the Palestinian people until the 20th century. 
People can identify whichever way they want but they cannot invent history.  The Palestinian identity was built in opposition to the Israeli/Jewish identity - that is not a healthy way to build a nation. This is not to say Arabs did not exist or do not have rights. But they cannot say they owned the land, at most they can say they owned their villages, but not the land in between. Jews also had villages and towns which they owned as well. Some for thousands of years.

Egan Store is still the best US-based, online IQD (Iraqi Dinar) dealer
EganShop.com has closed, but Egan.Store is still the best place on the web to buy Iraqi Dinar currency. 
youtube
Ms. Sandy at Edu Matrix has some of the best videos about the Iraqi dinar and it’s prospective revaluation available anywhere on the web.
Everything I’m hearing is that the RV is imminent... anywhere for hours to weeks, months tops. There’s been lots of chatter that this will be a very special Christmas. Sure, could mean anything or nothing, but Trump’s history is pretty close to unanimous in terms of his knowing something specific when he makes remarks like that.
My recommended source for IQD (Iraqi Dinar) is Egan Store (http://egan.store & Egan Shop https://eganshop.com).
Peter (the owner of Egan Store) has told me this week that he intends to start removing IQD listings soon, although he couldn’t give a date, stating that they would only sell what they can replace, but would sell as long as he could get it. So as long as they can get it they plan to make it available and help as many people as possible procure some before it’s too late.
Tumblr media
Peter is a good man and his customers love him. His business has achieved a better than 99% customer satisfaction rate selling on eBay, Etsy, other third-party platforms and from their relatively new site, EganShop.com.
Peter will be launching a plethora of currency-specific, niche collectible numismatics, coin & banknote shops — each specific to a particular nation’s currency.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Egan Shop and Egan Store have every denomination of new Iraqi dinar available for some of the best prices available anywhere online. If you find a better price, message them. If Peter can beat it he will.

No Escaping Historically Miserable August
Tumblr media
So much for a positive election-year August for the market. A combination of stretched valuations, weak/tepid earnings, a disappointing July jobs report, a late-cycle change in presidential candidates, currency market volatility and geopolitics has put the major indexes in a deep hole to climb back out of. As of today’s close, losses in August range from -5.1% from DJIA to 9.7% by Russell 2000.
These sharp declines have drawn comparisons to past difficult Augusts such as 1990 (Iraq invaded Kuwait), 1997 (Asian currency contagion), 1998 (Russian debt/currency), 2010 (European debt), 2011 (U.S. debt downgrade) and 2015 (China growth scare & yuan devalue). But August weakness does not always need a crisis or trigger with sizable S&P 500 declines also occurring in 1988 (-3.9%), 2001 (-6.4%), 2013 (-3.1%), and 2022 (-4.2%). All of this weakness is why August has been the worst DJIA month and second worst month of the year for S&P 500, NASDAQ, and Russell 2000 from 1988 to 2023.
Looking at the chart of 2024 through the close today (August 7) compared to the seasonal patterns using the last 36 years of data, more chop and volatility is likely in store for the market in the near-term. After an early August selloff, the market has tended to spend the balance of August bouncing around on average with little meaningful progress. The tightening of the presidential election and elevated geopolitical tensions are likely to keep a lid on markets through the rest of the “Worst Months.”

Some Palestine updates from the retweets of twt@/IbnRiad
Major 'Israeli' communications are under cyber attack. Bezeq company is shutdown. All emergency service contacts shut down.
Hostages released from Hamas are being assigned 'supervisors' to train them for press releases.
A letter from the Israeli detainee, Danielle Aloni, who was released by the Al-Qassam Brigades, that she left for them: a kind letter to the soldiers and commanders of the Resistance.
Israeli media discuss the growing crisis of confidence among Israeli forces amid the dismissal of officers who withdrew from battles in Gaza in protest of the "failure to provide cover during an incursion, resulting in a fatal ambush." via english.almayadeen.net
Footage of the hostage exchange reveals that Northern Gaza was not under IOF control, contrary to their claims.
Other updates from twt
Palestinian prisoners are coming out with stories of abuse and neglect. They weren't told there was a truce, one man was beaten to death just for asking if there was one. When boarding the bus taking them to the tradeoff, IOF told them they were going to be interrogated.
IOF shot at Palestinians returning to their homes.
'Israel' released demands following the release of Palestinian prisoners: 1. No talking to the press 2. No gatherings in the homes of any of the released prisoners 3. No passing of sweets or displays of celebration Violations of these rules will incur a $19k penalty.
It's not new that 'Israel' uses Palestinian corpses for skin and organs. Following the siege of Al-Shifa Hospital, 'Israel' used the bodies of Palestinian children and babies for their propaganda, claiming they were 'Israeli' children killed by Hamas.
IOF is stealing shekels, the local currency, from sieged territory. All of it goes to the treasury of 'Israel'.
Gaza's main public library has been destroyed.
Personal note: I authored none of these, this is my attempt to bring some currency of the genocide's events to Tumblr. I can't stress enough that Twitter is still a thriving hub for primary and secondary sources on what's happening there, despite it all.
@/IbnRiad tweets about the Palestinian citizen's struggle and the Palestinian resistance's strength, @/AoR3138 documents military clash updates from all the Axis of Resistance (Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Iraq, and Yemen), and @/revolutionaryem just got their account back after termination and is sharing a link to their telegram channel, they translate resistance related videos and are currently working on a documentary.
There are ways to use Twitter without the website, like using a client such as Fritter. We don't need more reposts we need to boost Palestinian voices. If anyone knows any Palestinian voices on Tumblr please put them below.

so there's a lot of crowing about world war three being on the horizon or currently happening but nobody will admit it (its not and the people claiming it is also tend to think covid was a bioweapon made by aliens so disregard them)
every conflict inevitably becomes a global conflict because like it or not we are an interconnected world. for example russia has been purchasing arms from iran in exchange for gold and the promise of new fighter jets to be provided in the future. iran is using that gold to further purchase arms because they don't have access to currencies required to purchase from legitimate buyers.
with those arms they intend to wage war on iraq over longstanding grudges, afghanistan over water rights and israel because they hate jews. on top of that a large portion of iran's foreign policy is to prop up terrorist organisations like hamas, hebollah and the houthis in order to cause problems for their targets.
so just through russia and iran exchanging ammo we have knock on effects to conflicts in ukraine, russia, iran, iraq, lebanon, israel, palestine, syria and yemen.
that is already a global conflict while ignoring north korean involvement in the war in ukraine. so any talks about negotiations or witholding aid to ukraine is in itself wasted effort. the anti-democratic axis is already ignoring the rules they claim to hold us to. there is no way of preventing escalation and bringing forth a reasonable outcome because the opposition has made their intentions clear. they are not acting in good faith and will refuse to do so. they will act any way they please and the only way to stop them is to bloody their nose.
as an aside, russia egging on iran to cause conflicts in order to divert arms to israel and turn the eye of the world away from ukraine has really backfired. because now iran is potentially going to be at war with israel while being wholly unprepared and will suddenly need all the ammo they were selling to russia. those fighter jets won't be coming for years either so they've both shot themselves in the foot.
as a further aside, the definition of world war is also honestly really vague. the people worrying about world war three depending on their definition of the start of the conflict would put us somewhere between world war 6 and 15 especially if you start considering wars outside of europe that still involved huge parts of the world

ZANJ REBELLION
Tumblr media
Have you ever heard about the Zanj rebellion? 📌The Zanj Rebellion is one of the major African “Captive” revolts in Decolonized history East African captives known as Zanj(meaning Black) revolted against their Arab & Iraqi slavers after hundreds of years of inhuman treatment, dehumanization, and forced eunuchization. The Rebellion lasted for 14 years from 869 to 883 A.D. The Zanj conquered cities, towns, and villages. They freed other captives and built their own towns, where they produced their own currency, collected taxes, and formed their own military What prompted the Revolt? Bantu-speaking people (Zanj) who had been captured from the coast of East Africa and transported to the Middle East were brought into southern Iraq to drain the salt marshes in the city of Basra. (Basra is an Iraqi city located in Southern Iraq) The Zanj were subjected to intense labour, under harsh and unbelievably inhumane conditions. (Read previous posts) They were also seen as inferior and their humanity was systemically denied. The Zanj rebellion was an uprising borne out of resistance and vengeance. It started with a few isolated farms and quickly picked up momentum, leading to larger plantations being attacked and large numbers of captives being freed. To quell the rebellion, the Caliphate sent troops who were unable to withstand the strength and battle skills of the Zanj warriors (with their bows, swords, and sharp-tipped spears) As news of the rebellion spread other captives escaped their captors to join the uprising. Some Zanj captured their former masters to work in the fields as slaves and took their women as concubines. Many provinces fell to the sword of the Zanj. They crushed every Muslim army the Iraq Abbasid empire sent to defeat them. 📌 They captured cities and formed their own towns and systems where they produced their own currency, collected taxes, and had full autonomy over their existence (see any parallels with Black Wall Street?) 📌They also formed their own formidable army. I’ll leave the rest of this bit of history for you to research 🙏🏽 Credit to @Odunifehistory #zanjrebellion #tanzania #africa #iraq #middleeast

Iraqi Dinar Update: Nothing to Get Excited About?
Sounds to me like in light of everything else going on, maybe it is time to start getting excited. Looks like the CBI is preparing to float the IQD internationally.

THE NEW GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM IS COMING!!!!
Tumblr media
Masters of the GCR/RV: The Financial Revolution Unfolding!
The Global Currency Reset (GCR) and Revaluation (RV) are not just financial terms—they represent a profound shift in the global economy. Exotic currencies like the Zimbabwe Dollar, Iraqi Dinar, and Vietnamese Dong, once dismissed, now stand at the center of this seismic transformation. Coupled with the Quantum Financial System (QFS) and the groundbreaking NESARA GESARA Act, these forces are dismantling the corrupt financial structures of the past and ushering in a new Golden Age.
Zimbabwe Dollar: Rising from the Ashes Once a symbol of economic collapse, the Zimbabwe Dollar (ZWL) is poised for resurgence. Backed by vast natural resources, including gold and diamonds, its revaluation could redefine wealth distribution globally.
Iraqi Dinar: A Powerhouse in Waiting The Iraqi Dinar (IQD), suppressed by decades of conflict, is ready for a comeback. Iraq’s immense oil reserves position the Dinar for a historic rise, turning its holders into potential beneficiaries of immense wealth.
Vietnamese Dong: The Silent Contender The Vietnamese Dong (VND) may be undervalued today, but Vietnam’s booming economy and strategic global role make this currency a sleeper hit in the GCR.
The Quantum Financial System (QFS): A Game-Changer The QFS is not just a financial system—it’s a technological revolution. Designed to eliminate corruption and provide transparency, it promises security and fairness. XRP and XLM, digital assets tied to this system, are set to replace outdated financial instruments, making them prime opportunities for savvy investors.
NESARA GESARA: A Blueprint for Global Equity This monumental reform package aims to forgive debts, redistribute wealth, and establish a gold-backed currency system. With mandates for humanitarian projects, it’s not just about money—it’s about building a better world.
Tier 4B: The Informed Few vs. Tier 5: The Oblivious Masses The informed Tier 4B, aware of these shifts, stands ready to benefit. In contrast, Tier 5, tethered to outdated systems, remains blind to the change. This is an Information War, and knowledge is your most valuable asset.
The Time to Act Is Now! The GCR/RV isn’t speculation—it’s happening now. The future belongs to those prepared to seize the moment. Will you rise to the occasion, or will you be left behind? The choice is yours.
Join and share my channel immediately: https://t.me/JulianAssangeWiki
-------------------------------------
From truth4ourfreedom:
I have heard about this change for what seems like months. When will it happen? And will the global elites and big banks go along? Time will tell!

Freedom by Angela Merkel
The former German chancellor slights her enemies by barely mentioning them – and is frustratingly opaque on her own big calls
Towards the end of her 16-year tenure, former German chancellor Angela Merkel was garlanded with superlative titles: the “queen of Europe”, the “most powerful woman in the world”, the “leader of the free world”. In reality, her role was always more that of a mediator than a sovereign. Born and brought up for 35 years in an anti-church, Moscow-allied socialist command economy but politically active for 31 years in a Christian, staunchly pro-Nato and pro-market conservative party, Merkel’s unique political calling card was her ability to see eye-to-eye with politicians from opposing camps, because she understood their ideological hinterland.
And so Freedom, released just three years after she left office, was never going to be a score-settling kind of autobiography. Meetings with politicians as different as George W Bush and former leftwing Greek prime minister Aléxis Tsípras are recalled with equal respect and affection – even though Merkel concludes that the former’s war in Iraq was “a mistake, waged on a basis of mistaken beliefs”, and the latter provides her with “the most astonishing moment of any phone call in my entire political career”, when he tells her he will recommend that the Greek people vote against a bailout deal he himself negotiated with her.
When it comes to those who slighted her, Merkel says she adhered to a motto usually associated with the British royal family: “Never explain, never complain”. The closest thing to disses here are non-mentions. Yanis Varoufakis, the self-styled rebel hero of the Greek government debt-crisis, is named not once in the 721-page tome. Boris Johnson gets two passing mentions in a book that goes into exhaustive detail when describing the menu at the chancellory canteen (“But nor will I forget the mixed salads,” reads one immortal line). Merkel’s personal hairdresser comes across as a more complex political animal than French president Emmanuel Macron.
The notion that political opponents “should be considered strange even as human beings,” she writes at one point, is “completely alien” to her, though she makes an exception for Donald Trump. When he flusters her at their first official meeting by refusing to shake hands in front of the cameras, she reprimands herself for assuming the US president would be “someone completely normal”. Trump’s combative approach to the European Union on trade and tariffs – from the perspective of a real-estate developer to whom “all countries were in competition, and the success of one meant the failure of another” – runs completely counter to her view of the world.
Even then, she swallows her scorn and lets the subtext do the talking. In a statement that is surprising given how long the book’s publication date was announced in advance, she says “I wish with all my heart that Kamala Harris […] defeats her competitor and becomes president.”
Freedom starts with a lengthy section on Merkel’s first three decades behind the iron curtain, and it’s hard to shake the impression that this is the book she really wanted to write. Not because of any lingering ostalgie: she thought the German Democratic Republic was “as petty, narrow-minded, tasteless and humourless as it could possibly be”. Unlike many more active dissidents, Merkel says she held no illusions that East and West Germany could be reunited on equal terms after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and in her first weeks as a member of the newly founded Democratic Awakening party backs East Germany’s currency to be replaced by the Deutschmark as swiftly as possible.
Rather, this reads like the voice of someone finally unburdened of the need to keep quiet about their upbringing. Her first experiences with journalists after the wall went down, she writes, make her realise that it is difficult “to speak openly with West German media about one’s own life in the GDR”, and she explains that she was reluctant to make too much of becoming Germany’s first female chancellor because she didn’t want to be “pigeonholed”.
Going by how eager her politician colleagues were to patronise her, that reluctance was perfectly understandable. There’s her former interior minister Horst Seehofer, who describes her 2015 decision to open German borders to refugees from Syria as having led to a “tyranny of injustice”, seemingly putting a Merkel-led Germany on par with the GDR’s dictatorship. Or how about Mexican president Felipe Calderón who, at a G20 meeting in 2012, thought he could nudge her into unleashing the European Central Bank’s quantitative easing programme by likening her to a “little girl” on the playground, asking her “big brother” for help to fight off the bullies.
“I’m not allowed to ask my brother,” she tells him. “I have to get through this on my own.” Her feelings are clear, but it’s not phrased as a complaint, and it doesn’t come with any further explanation.
The second half of the book, which deals with geopolitics, is more breathless, as if its pace is still dictated by her crammed diaries during the cumulative crises that marked her career: the global banking crisis that began in 2007, followed by the threat of the break-up of the eurozone, the arrival of an estimated 1.3 million displaced people on Europe’s borders in 2015, and a brewing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
The wisdom of the strategic decisions she made during these key moments came into question just two-and-a-half months after she stepped down, when Russia invaded Ukraine. Merkel was a stellar student of Russian, and Putin spoke fluent German, which had positioned her to become the west’s closest negotiating partner with the Kremlin. Even before diplomatic relations deteriorated, she writes, she held no illusions as to Putin’s desire “to push back against the American victory in the Cold War”. The 2014 annexation of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts made it clear to her that the Russian president was a “rulebreaker” who “must be stopped”.
If so, why did Germany under her leadership allow its reliance on Russian gas to rise? Why did she not discontinue the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project that linked Russia directly with her constituency in Germany’s north-east, allowing gas transits to bypass Ukraine? Why did she not campaign to ramp up Europe’s defence?
Her answers are frustratingly formulaic. Justifying Germany and France in 2008 blocking Ukraine’s admission to the Membership Action Plan that would have put the country on a road to join Nato, she says it is “illusory” that this would have deterred Russian aggression: Putin wouldn’t have “twiddled his thumbs”. But for Putin even the rhetorical gesture towards Ukraine’s future Nato membership that she agreed to as a compromise was a “declaration of war”. So what difference did her veto make? On Nord Stream, Merkel writes that halting the project would have required a special ruling at a European level, which she would have looked into had Ukraine and Russia not signed a new transit contract. A vigorous defence would read differently.
At its worst, Freedom is as patronising towards the European states to Germany’s east as her male colleagues were to Merkel. Many countries in central and eastern Europe, she writes, had very little appetite for investing in any relationship with Russia. “They seemed to wish that their gigantic neighbour would disappear from the map, simply cease to exist.” Yet wasn’t it Germany that engaged in make-believe, convincing itself that expanding trade relations with Russia would somehow restrain its imperial ambitions?
All the human qualities that made Merkel a likable and liked leader are in this book: the lack of showmanship, the understated sense of humour, the dedication to building alliances and forging compromises. And yet you finish Freedom asking yourself whether good human beings automatically make good decision-makers.
In the foreword, Merkel promises to “identify my misjudgements”, but the only mea culpas relate to a few rhetorical slip-ups, such as the “trite” and “parochial” image of the thrifty Swabian housewife she evoked during the eurozone crisis. After Brexit, she is “tormented” by whether more concessions would have kept the UK in the EU, but concludes that Britain’s exit had been a foregone conclusion ever since David Cameron tried to appease Eurosceptics within his own party. Answering to the rights or wrongs of Germany’s big-picture risk calculation – of banking on Russian natural gas to enable a nuclear energy phase-out – somehow gets forgotten in the rush from summit communique to summit communique.
Is it fair to hold one woman accountable for the mess in which the western liberal democracy she embodied finds itself in 2024, especially given her leadership of a country with more restraints on executive power than her counterparts in France or the UK? Merkel answers that question herself. What she admired most in her former patron Helmut Kohl, she writes, was his capacity for “genuinely assuming ultimate political responsibility”.

Are westerners familiar with Bashar al Asad and Zin Abidin Ben Ali as much as they are familiar with Saddam Husein ?
No , because even though Bashar and Ben Ali are dictators torturing their own people, they're not much of a threat to the westerners' colonial goals .
Unlike Saddam Husein, who wanted to unite Arabs and create a common currency for them and who had beem making progress in that regard .
He invested in his country's education as well as other Arab countries by sending them aid in a way that was very limiting the the brain drain .
That's the real reason he was killed , these are some of the real reasons for the American ( against Iraq) war was waged .
Not because of democracy, not because of " nuclear weapons " ( that weren't even there)
It was because of riches and power .

The top 10% of wealthy Americans now own 70% of national wealth and nearly 90% of all stocks
When all the wealth, property and assets of a country are owned by a small minority of the population, what's even the point of Private Property other than to make sure it never benefits ordinary Americans?
Private Property is a scam. Most Americans will never own Property, stocks, bonds, or other major assets.
Eliminate Private Property and return the assets of the United States to its people and return a large portion as reparations to victims of US Imperialism: Native American Nations, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, the DPRK, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Iran, Syria, Serbia, Palestine, Iraq, Panama, Venezuela, Honduras, Columbia, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Chile, Cuba, Grenada, Haiti, and nearly the entire sub-saharan African continent.
Even some places the US has never entered militarily have still been destroyed by US Economic Imperialism such as Argentina or Sri Lanka.
The US's favorite weapon of choice when Military options aren't available or prudent is, of course, the IMF.
By virtue of being the world's reserve currency, the US dollar enjoys privileges no other economy does. It can seemingly endlessly print money to fund wars across the globe without any major inflation. This is because, as the world's reserve currency, the US Dollar is always in demand, and so never suffers the kind of inflation Argentina or Sri Lanka might. As long as dollars are in demand, inflation can be staved off.
Meanwhile, other countries must purchase dollars in their own currencies in order to conduct trade. These other countries that don't enjoy "special relationships" with the US like Britain, France or Germany must purchase US dollars at exchange rates favorable to the US since the entire trade system is dominated by US institutions, and therefore the institutions of Wall Street.
If another country tries to print money the way the US does, no one in the West will buy their currency, cratering the currency's value and spiking inflation.
So while other countries must produce surplus value in order to purchase US dollars, the US sits back and collects that surplus value even as the US doesn't even have to produce value to get dollars, it can just print them as they recently printed up $300 BILLION DOLLARS to bail out the super rich depositors at the failed Silicon Valley Bank, First Republic Bank and Signature Bank.
And so, when a country fails to purchase US Dollars and is facing bankruptcy, in swoops the IMF with emergency loans.
These loans not only have to be paid back in full with disadvantageous interest rates, but come with conditions for "Structural Adjustment", in other words, Neoliberal "reforms" that require the country receiving the loans to sell off public assets such as SOEs to the US and its allies, eliminates or reduce public pensions, eliminate wage protections, job safety and public safety regulations, benefits such as paid family leave and sick days, restrict collective bargaining rights, Union and worker rights, along with eliminating things like the minimum wage and limiting social spending, infrastructure funding and even their Healthcare system, all while making a Nation's natural resources available to Western Corporations to steal and exploit.
It's truly Imperialism at its most efficient. First the US created a global financial system that makes it difficult to impossible for impoverished nations to dig themselves out of a hole.
Then the US provides loans with conditions that weaken the state and its people's rights to fight the changes to come. The loans themselves overburden the nation and quickly bankrupt it, forcing the country to go crawling back to the IMF for even MORE Structural Adjustments that further weaken the state's ability to intervene in the economy to help its people while further bankrupting the country.
And the cycle just keeps repeating while the US sucks the wealth, resources and manpower out of its victim.
And so, the US owes reperations across the globe for it's Military AND Economic Imperialism.
And even after reparations have been paid, there will still be plenty of wealth left in the US to make its Working Class healthier, happier and wealthier across the board.
Organize to fight the US Capitalists and Imperialists now!
Join your local Socialist/Communist Party or Organization and start fighting for REVOLUTION!
