Yes the Jihadists are the same people who crashed Libya for the US and France. As well as Syria. The armies of these Sahel countries have been crafted as puppets to defend specifically French and American property in Northern Africa.

The situation in Niger has been brewing for years. The French military has been bombing civilians in their "anti-terror" operation. Nigeriens are waving Russian flags because the Russians are actually good at fighting the insurgents and protecting civilians at the same time. In fact, France's actions have been making the situation in the Sahel WORSE!

I doubt the USA has much to do with this coup. The reality is that Neocolonial armies are ripe with contradictions, and one of the outbursts of that is a military mutiny in defense of the exploited masses, as we have seen with Burkina Faso, Libya, Cuba, and Venezuela.

We are overpaid to produce useless shit that is overvalued under monopoly capitalism because software as a service is hyper efficient rent seeking. Because we make rich people so much money there is industrial level propaganda to make our work out to be some revolutionary science that will solve all of humanities problems.

Yes and you misunderstand. The indigenous people are not marginalized groups of Americans. They are not Americans, they are their own nations, their own political and cultural bodies. Black Liberation comes in the form of becoming an independent nation and indigenous liberation comes in the form of total sovereignty over stolen land. We literally cannot wait for settlers and white supremacists to change their minds and treat us better, we will fight for sovereignty with or without them. Asking us to be subjugated into a settler socialism is assimilation and genocide. We will have white allies, not white saviors.

Anarchism and herrenvolk democracy cannot guarantee our safety and emancipation.

If you believe that a Vanguard can lead a revolution then you must understand that the political beginnings of a Vanguard confederation of decolonial states is a much more realistic and material goal than performing a cultural revolution on American settlers while still under bourgeois rule. How could we ever know if a white supremacists has changed their views? Is it their views that matter or their ability to exercise bigotry through access and adjacency to power?

It's nothing to do with morals. It's ending the colonial relationship to land and depriving the settlers of landed property rights. The struggle for indigenous sovereignty won't end until this happens so it doesn't matter if white Americans build their national socialism they'll have to fight off attempts of the indigenous and Black nations asserting their sovereignty.

Frankly we are soon heading towards the settler nation abandoning large swathes of territory due to their own economic practices. California was settled by the refugees of the self imposed Dust Bowls who were given Californian farms managed by Japanese migrants who were interned by the settler states during WW2. There is no new West to bail them out of their contradictions. It's not listening to indigenous, it's working for them. The decolonial government will take sovereignty over the lands out of the hands of the colonizer class. Political supremacy of the settlers is a continuation of white supremacy. I have no interest in respectability politics if the audience is settler nationalist, we do not politic for the settlers, this is not their liberation (nor was American Liberty calling for the emancipation of slaves). There will be millions of Americans who will follow us, I'm sure of it, but we are right to select them ourselves, and set standards for working together.

We are not trying to convince reactionaries of our cause, we will work with those who are not. Those who'd rather be approachable to the reactionaries than work with colonized revolutionaries are preparing themselves for the dustbin of history.

Someone recently said something like (paraphrased): Many of us Communists will end up going to prison. For you White Communists, you will be forced to chose between the White gangs and the Communists/Brown folks. If you think there is tactics in pretending to be a white supremacist to save yourself, you are not a Communist, you are an enemy.

The US will be destroyed by the fourth worlders. I've posted elsewhere in this thread why American Communists absolutely need to be decolonial revolutionaries. MWM meeting white supremacists halfway leads them away from the decolonial movement, let's them keep their reactionary views, and puts them into opposition to our liberation. Instead of platforming indigenous and Black revolutionary voices they party with white supremacists like Haz and Hinkle.

MWM (Eddie) and Rainer Shea are crypto patsocs. They don't believe in Land Back and Black Liberation, they believe Settler Colonialism in the US is over and thus the decolonial movement doesn't apply.

They are dogmatists who refuse to do any historical research of North America, and are class reductionists (who ignore that racism and colonialism are class systems in the first place).

I had a Deprogram fan tell me Russia was imperialist and the Communist party is controlled opposition because apparently the podcast had a Russian communist come on and complain about the party being pro intervention to protect Donbas and they got purged for being anti-war.

I haven't heard that episode but why are we immediately sympathetic to someone who got purged? Do we expect the Communist party of Russia to not apply Democratic Centralism? The party decided on the Intervention Question, those who don't fall line should leave until they agree with the party again.

The CPRF understands the conflict is Colonial in nature. Ukraine is a hostile colony of the US and Donbas is resisting Colonization of their homeland. Ukraine made it law that the president must retake Crimea and Donbas. Ukraine was designed by the US to force Russia into war.

Especially with Yugopnik and Hakim being from countries colonized by NATO, they should see that Donbas is resisting Colonization rather than Ukraine resisting so-called Russian Colonization, it doesn't even make sense economically. Before the Maidan Russia offered Ukraine a deal as equals while the EU deal imposed massive austerity that would shrink Ukraine's economy within 10 years. Zelensky privatized Ukrainian land again and tried to sell it off to the world market. He banned labor unions, he banned every leftwing party. He failed to incorporate the Ukrainian Volunteer Army (Right Sector deviation), responsible for many war crimes, because they were above the state and the veteran class would turn on the government if he did. The leader of that battalion (which only recently joined the state) openly threatened to hang Zelensky if he were to consider the Minsk 2 agreements.

How is it not clear to "anti-Imperialists" that Ukraine has been colonized and weaponized against Russia? Zelensky is an obvious puppet, this was clear when the UVA refused to leave the front lines during the ceasefire (which they openly brag about breaking, hence why they remained independent from the state).

The States' bourgeois education system refuses to develop the engineering talents of the masses. China, Iran, and Russia (mostly historic investment still bearing fruits) all invest deeply into the math and sciences.

The US is an insincere ally, always has been, always will be. Throughout history the US has always provided aid in such a way that puts their "allies" in a more subservient position, sowing seeds of future crises to take advantage of.
