Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

ANTI-COMMUNISM WEEK, 2025

November 7, 2025

A PROCLAMATION

This week, our Nation observes Anti-Communism Week, a solemn remembrance of the devastation caused by one of history’s most destructive ideologies. Across continents and generations, communism has wrought devastation upon nations and souls. More than 100 million lives have been taken by regimes that sought to erase faith, suppress freedom, and destroy prosperity earned through hard work, violating the God-given rights and dignity of those they oppressed. As we honor their memory, we renew our national promise to stand firm against communism, to uphold the cause of liberty and human worth, and to affirm once more that no system of government can ever replace the will and conscience of a free people.

For more than a century, communism has brought nothing but ruin. Wherever it spreads, it silences dissent, punishes beliefs, and demands that generations kneel before the power of the state instead of standing for freedom. Its story is written in blood and sorrow, a grim reminder that communism is nothing more than another word for servitude.

In the 34 years since the end of the Cold War, the world has witnessed both the triumph of democracy and the persistence of tyranny in new forms. New voices now repeat old lies, cloaking them in the language of “social justice” and “democratic socialism,” yet their message remains the same: give up your freedom, place your trust in the power of the government, and trade the promise of prosperity for the empty comfort of control. America rejects this evil doctrine. We remain a Nation founded on the eternal truth that liberty and opportunity are the birthrights of every person, and that no ideology, whether foreign or domestic, can extinguish them.

As we mark Anti-Communism Week, we stand united in defense of the values that define us as a free people. We honor the victims of oppression by keeping their cause alive and by ensuring that communism and every system that denies the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness will find their place, once and for all, on the ash heap of history.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the week of November 2 through November 8, 2025, as Anti-Communism Week.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.

DONALD J. TRUMP

Declaring the week the day before it officially ends is such a low energy move.

It's pure reaction to Zohran winning

But then why not have it be the forthcoming week?

Perhaps stupidity, not malice?

[–] sleeplessone@lemmy.ml 12 points 5 days ago

Maybe they want the week to include the anniversary of the October Revolution?

That specter is haunting huh lol

Standing firm? Isn't the government shut down?

Wherever it spreads, it silences dissent, punishes beliefs, and demands that generations kneel before the power of the state instead of standing for freedom.

ICE

I don't know. I had an idea but then I remembered hypocrisy is like an electric move on a ground type. I'm over it.

What the fuck is a presidential proclamation? Is he really Myspace posting in the Oval Office?

𝓓𝓞𝓤𝓑𝓛𝓔-COMMUNISM WEEK, 2025

November 8, 2025

A PROCLAMATION

Next week, our Nation observes 𝓓𝓸𝓾𝓫𝓵𝓮-Communism Week, a solemn remembrance of the devastation caused by one of history’s most destructive ideologies. Across continents and generations, capitalism has wrought devastation upon nations and souls. The entire biosphere has been taken by regimes that sought to enforce faith, suppress freedom, and destroy prosperity earned through hard work, violating the rights and dignity of those they oppressed. As we honor their memory, we renew our national promise to stand firm against capitalism, to uphold the cause of liberty and human worth, and to affirm once more that no system of government can ever replace the will and conscience of a free working class.

For more than three centuries, capitalism has brought nothing but ruin. Wherever it spreads, it silences dissent, punishes beliefs, and demands that generations kneel before the power of the state instead of standing for freedom. Its story is written in blood and sorrow, a grim reminder that capitalism is nothing more than another word for servitude.

In the 34 years since the end of the Cold War, the world has witnessed both the failure of bourgeois democracy and the persistence of tyranny in new forms. New voices now repeat old lies, cloaking them in the language of “anti-woke” and “patriotism" yet their message remains the same: give up your freedom, place your trust in the power of oligarchs, and trade the promise of prosperity for the empty comfort of control. DPR Sashatown rejects this evil doctrine. We remain a Nation founded on the eternal truth that liberty and opportunity are the birthrights of every person, and that no ideology, whether foreign or domestic, can extinguish them.

As we mark 𝓓𝓸𝓾𝓫𝓵𝓮-Communism Week, we stand united in defense of the values that define us as a free people. We honor the victims of oppression by keeping their cause alive and by ensuring that capitalism and every system that denies the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness will find their place, once and for all, on the ash heap of history.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, SASHA BEAR, General Secretary of the Worker's Party of Sashatown, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the Democratic People's Republic of Sashatown, do hereby proclaim the week of November 9 through November 15, 2025, as 𝓓𝓸𝓾𝓫𝓵𝓮-Communism Week.

Regards,

SASHA BEAR

Can't believe Trump shut down the insidious, pervasive propaganda funded by USAID for this ham-fisted replacement. It seems even US propaganda got enshittified.

The October Revolution, also known as the Great October Socialist Revolution (in Soviet historiography), or Bolshevik revolution, was the second of two revolutions in Russia in 1917.
It was led by Vladimir Lenin's Bolsheviks as part of the broader Russian Revolution of 1917–1923.
It began through an insurrection in Petrograd (now Saint Petersburg) on 7 November 1917 [O.S. 25 October].

It should have started on the 7th not the 2nd.

Not really sure what to make of this, to be honest. I looked through presidential records and couldn't find any other "anti-communism week" declaration. I know that "Loyalty Day" has been declared every year since the second Red Scare.

Why did he declare it at the end of the week? Why did he only specify 2025 in the declaration? I can't find any mainstream news articles explaining the proclamation. Trump didn't even post about it on truthsocial.

In 2017, Trump proclaimed November 7 to be "National Day for Victims of Communism". The date was chosen in relation to 1917 Soviet Revolution. Why was it upgraded from 1 day to a whole week?

Nov 7 2018 https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-statements/presidential-message-national-day-victims-communism/

Nov 7 2019 https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-statements/presidential-message-national-day-victims-communism-2019/

Nov 7 2020 https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-statements/presidential-message-national-day-victims-communism-110720/

I don't see a similar proclamation made by Biden, Obama, or Bush. Ron Desantis has designated November 7 to be "Victims of Communism day" in Florida each year since 2022, but not nationally.

We thank them for their inattention to this matter!

Conservatives get really mad about things like "Black history getting a whole month" so I think there's just going to be a tendency toward inflated durations over time from them. Of course, black history month makes perfect sense when you consider that it's about history classes focusing more on black history for a month rather than being a month-long festivity as such, but try telling that to a racist who doesn't understand that the other ~8 months in the school year are de facto white history months in many American schools.

National Poo poo pee pee Week

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 22 points 5 days ago

Know I’m preaching to the choir here, but always telling how they tell anti-fascists “you can’t kill an idea” in fact to the point where they argue all opinions are equal and worthy of respect.

But they don’t feel the same about anything left-of-center. Apparently those ideas can be killed for the horrible crime of being no-no thoughts (but fascism isn’t one of these because uhhh….reasons.)

[–] save_the_humans@leminal.space 24 points 5 days ago

Its always just projection. This accurately describes capitalism.

Anti-communism is weak

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 18 points 5 days ago

I've a feeling the mentality here was "It's today week that's anti-communism week"

[–] LadyCajAsca@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago

weak. I haven't heard of this at all, and as a communist, maybe I should have, but.. 😂

anyways, there being nothing to celebrate forces trump to co-opt our glorious october revolution, which is funny in itself.
