I enjoy posting Soviet Art and propaganda posters. I love Marxism, and Marxism-Leninism in general.
طلت الراية الحمرا - The Red Banner is Raised (PFLP Song)
A popular song of the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the paramilitary wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a secular communist group operating within the State of Palestine.
Originally posted on the GETchan YouTube channel, but was since taken down for violating ToS or something like that.
I reuploaded it to Odysee, but it can also be found on archive.org
When he refers to the Graveyard of Numbers, he's talking about this. Israel keeps dead bodies in prison, which leaves their families with no corpse to bury :(
You can read something China's permanent representative to the United Nations, Zhang Jun, said here.
Basically saying to show restraint, to limit civilian casualties. And that the UN should push for a two-state solution.
Otherwise, you can follow the CPC's official news paper, People's Daily, and their "World" publishing here
And in general, Xinhua, the largest media organ in China: here. Also this and this.
Vimeo took the video down, obviously.
I uploaded it to LBRY/Odysee: https://odysee.com/abujamalpflpinterview:c
Abu Jamal, Spokesperson of the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, speaks in a groundbreaking interview to commemorate 55 years of the founding of the PFLP. Historical analysis,…
An interview made in December 2022, with Abu Jamal, the Spokesperson of the Armed Wing of PFLP, the "Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades".
Some great answers in this interview, e.g.:
Q: > The zionists, along with their Western allies, have described and designated the Abu Ali Mustafa Bridgades and the Popular Front as "terrorists". Can you explain the difference between armed resistance and terrorism? The difference between terrorists and freedom fighers?
A: >By the way, zionists do not classify us alone as terrorists. They classify everyone that does not uphold their own terrorist thoughts as gentiles or goyim.
>This is a term that is not so different from "terrorist", because it gives zionists the green light to murder non-Jews and to take away their property, their honor and their lands. Therefore, from a zionist perspective, all human beings are terrorists as long as they are not zionists themselves.
>What is truly terrorism is to gather foreigners from all around the world, to arm them and then build them a state on the land of a people that has a 5000 years-old civilization.
>True terrorism is to bombard civilians with warplanes and internationally banned weapons, to impose a blockade on them, to commit genocide on them, and to displace them.
>We are simply exercising the right to self-defense - which is guaranteed to us by international laws - through simple and primitive weapons against the most powerful military power on earth.
>Did you know that the only place in which it is legally allowed to put dead bodies on trial, and then incarcerate them is the zionist colonial entity?
>Hasn't this state murdered our people and then imprisoned them inside its graveyards? Graveyards which we call the "Graveyards of Numbers"?
>Terrorism is the ethnic genocide that the zionist entity is committing on our people, every minute that it is allowed to exist on our land.
+1 for Sorry to Bother You. Just watched it today, fantastic watch. Didn't expect anything else from good ol' Boots Riley :)
I use the NewPipe fork with Sponsorblock as an optional feature. You can get NewPipe on F-Droid here and the fork with Sponsorblock here.
As a rule of thumb, I always check their respective GitHub pages for links, I don't really trust the Google Store. There are too many spam duplicates of various apps, especially FOSS ones.
Michael Parenti's book, "Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism" has a chapter covering faults, or rather, ineffiencies of the former USSR. I would look up the exact chapter, but my I lent the book to my dad, who was very interested in reading the book. It's an amazing book, so if you end up reading the chapter, I recommend the rest of the book as well :)!
If you don't have the means to buy the book, then it should be available on a lot of different sites, like archive.org, libgen and so on.
Also, shameless plug for the Michael Parenti video archive on YouTube.
According to this article, you shouldn't use Signal. Rather, you should use SimpleX or the other alternatives mentioned in said article.

and many, many more
Yes, but also no. You have to create the entire infrastructure yourself in W&R:SR. In Tropico you just "paint" roads and cars appear by themselves and don't need fuel, and so on. Stolen from a Steam review: "The game focuses on its realistic economic simulation. The player must manage resources such as coal, iron, and oil to power factories and produce goods. Despite a complete planned economy, a player must still account for the fluctuating prices of the global export market, so the player must carefully balance and diversify exports and imports to ensure economic security. Additionally, the game features a detailed transportation system, including trains, trucks, and ships, which must be managed to transport goods efficiently. While the transport system can initially be a little obtuse, once you learn how to filter the inputs a station is allowed to have you'll figure it out. Having experience in games with similar transport systems like OpenTTD or IG2 is a great help."
