The sad thing is all these whiplash fast reversals of propaganda still have no meaningful impact on the western propagandized mind. They don’t notice despite being months apart, the contradictions never reach them. They just go from one thing to the next, from smirking to seething without beginning to question whether hmm maybe the media is lying to them. It’s just incredible. Because it used to be a process that took years from falsehood to truth reveal. Incredible and incredibly saddening too.
It doesn’t matter.
It is a FACT that Iran has murdered many communists, especially in the aftermath of the successful Islamic revolution when they were solidifying power but also afterwards I’m sure.
It is a fact that Iran is run by reactionary socially backwards forces.
And it is a fact that it is never-the-less an important part of the international anti-imperialist bloc.
It is a fact that there is no near term hopes for a communist revolution in Iran, that if the current regime were to be overthrown that it would be by pro-US, pro-west compradors who’d sell out the people, sell out the region, and do their utmost to help the west destroy BRICS and the new emerging multipolarity. Thus that the best we can hope for is continued weakening of the US, of the zionist settler outpost occupying Palestine, and continuing growth of the power of China and Russia and that as that progresses there might be space for weakening of the grip reactionaries have on Iran over time.
There’s no particular reason to mourn the dead president of Iran. He was no progressive force and from what I’ve read was from the more conservative elements of the government. Neither is there reason to celebrate his death, which has not materially changed anything important. It won’t lead to better women’s rights or gay rights or tolerance of communists in Iran. He was but one part of a larger and entrenched state.
China should counter offer something sweeping in terms of access and cooperation that they’ll never allow. It’ll make scientists of any conscience in the US even more uneasy with their country when it’s rejected and make the US look more pathetic on the whole.
American regime be like “hurry up with the genocide, people are noticing and getting upset”.
Frankly speaking, the story about “thousands of North Korean special forces troops disguised as Buryats” was first made up by the author of this article over a year ago. At that time, I got a call from some scammers who asked me if I knew that my granddaughter had withdrawn 800,000 rubles from my bank account. They claimed that this money might have been stolen and demanded my bank account details and the keys to the apartment. However, my improvised response took them by surprise: you see, I told them, my granddaughter is studying to become a military translator and is secretly accompanying a unit of North Korean special forces troops which is about to be sent to the zone of Russia’s special military operation. But some logistical issues have come up. North Korean soldiers are used to eating dogs, but if they start catching and eating them in Ukraine, they’ll reveal themselves. So the dogs have to be bought and transported at my own expense, and there’s nothing criminal about this money being withdrawn from my bank account for that very purpose. Apparently, though, my little prank has gone out of control.
Lmao. Russian humor is really something.

Also I’d like to think I did my part getting lemmygrad’s numbers up as I was spamming Genzedong with a macro telling people to go here as a lifeboat before and after the quarantine.
Also I love how they didn’t connect us to the only real anti-pedophile podcast subreddit (Brace noises) or thedeprogram, guess we don’t have that many casual links but if they checked overlap it should be there. Sloppy work on that in addition to all the problems with methodology, definitions, etc. Hilarious tax dollars paid for this though I guess I’d prefer it over actually effort-driven papers and even better it might encourage other lazy anti-communists to cite them, creating a chain of weak links back to a shoddy base that can be knocked away in heavy discourse and leave anti-communists flailing and drifting. Of course the downside is actual policy isn’t driven by hard peer reviewed science and part of the purpose of a shoddy paper like this could be to give a cite-able pretext to say private companies on why they need to immediately censor “tankies” and any discourse that their shoddy, shitty, “ai-data-‘science’” says is related to that.
But a pragmatic one. At this point with how tightly they continue to hold to the failing empire, with how they beckon to their calls for shells for Nazis in Ukraine or joining their groups for isolating China, they are a vassal state and the US is simply not going to allow them to re-unify peacefully.
Realistically what the US and the Korean puppets in the south want is an East Germany situation which is as Un points out is absorption and negation of the socialist state by the capitalist one. That’s the only kind of re-unification or even growing closer together they would accept.
It was a valiant and worthy effort to attempt to compromise, to offer peace, to try diplomacy but the south does not have enough people aware of the propaganda to resist it and the leadership are of course all puppets and American loving liberals and the American interest in maintaining a fascist buffer against communism and a staging area that close to China is too great. The old in Korea like the old in Taiwan who might know better and have some experience with the depravity of the Americans and the earnest goodness of the communists are a dying minority.
Now with Russian ties growing stronger and the alliance of resistance against US hegemony which includes China, there are opportunities for the DPRK that do not involve compromise with lying, backstabbing, fascists.
Sad that the Yemenis are the only ones materially trying to do anything to stop the genocide of Palestinians aside from Hezbollah of course who are at least tying the zionists up in the north a little.
What if anything is Iran doing at this point I wonder. If they’re not supplying weapons to Yemen, well that’s unfortunate.
Rolling Stone has quite an article: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/henry-kissinger-war-criminal-dead-1234804748/
“Henry Kissinger, War Criminal Beloved by America’s Ruling Class, Finally Dies” (It’s long too, they’ve been sitting on this one for a while)
For me it’s bittersweet feelings. I would have rather at this point that he lived another 20 years and saw the world he built crumble entirely. He was also out of power and there are many like him much younger still in power. Where is the Blinken, Pompeo, Nuland, etc watch for their death for their complicity in crimes against humanity? Smaller in total deaths but still in the hundreds of thousands.
His death will mark my words be a ritual cleansing for western leftists and anti-war liberals, they will point to it and declare the evil has gone, it has died, America was bad but with his death that chapter closes and now we’re good supporting wholesome 100 totally-not-Nazis in Ukraine among many other dubious movements.
