  • Left-leaning governments specially in former colonies generally means more cooperation with Global South countries. While right wing ones lead to the opposite as we can see in Argentina right now with Milei.

    Twitter is completely infested with nazis and far-right misinformation campaigns; even more so since Elon bought it. Banning it doesn’t do much about the Brazilian right wing, but it does separate Brazilians from the american right wing somewhat, since Brazil makes/made up a third of Twitter users.



  • Might as well vote for the PSL or Green if you happen to be free on election day. Just don’t waste your time defending the two genocidal capitalist parties. Spend it organizing and taking direct action.

    For the left, electoralism is only good for some advertising. A capitalist system won’t let socialists come to power even if they somehow manage to win like we’re seeing in France with Macron right now. Liberals will side with fascists long before they ever think about looking left, as they always have historically.









  • east germany was part of the warsaw pact, and had plenty of ex-nazis in its ranks

    Lmfao the fourth reich west germany literally had more nazis leading it in its government than during the third reich. The socialist states did the opposite and purged nazis — obviously, since fascism is actually a threat to socialist states whereas it’s more of an asset to capitalists with them able to scapegoat marginalized people for capitalism’s faults the more prevalent it is.

    Fully 77 percent of senior ministry officials in 1957 were former members of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party, a higher proportion even than during the 1933-45 Third Reich, the study found.

    From 1949 to 1973, 90 of the 170 leading lawyers and judges in the then-West German Justice Ministry had been members of the Nazi Party.

    Of those 90 officials, 34 had been members of the Sturmabteilung (SA), Nazi Party paramilitaries who aided Hitler’s rise and took part in Kristallnacht, a night of violence that is believed to have left 91 Jewish people dead.
