Haiti will forever pay the price for being the first free Black republic in the new world. The Haitian people, in a true, proletariat revolution (not a bourgeois revolution like the U.S), overthrew the forces of one of the most powerful empires of the time. White Western imperialist nations have never forgotten that.…

In what way is it useful?

I think he was being facetious.

Anyone trying to primary a “moderate” gets blacklisted by the DCCC and smeared in the media. I know the DCCC nominally walked back that policy but the message was clear and still stifles progressive candidates.

They’ll blame progressives again and their lackeys in the media will signal boost it. Then they’ll have an excuse to move even further to the right. The usual who’s who of Democrat sycophants in the Root commentariat will spew their nonsensical takes as well. 

If history is any indicator the Dems lose in 2022. This and the fact that the only campaign promises Biden has kept are the ones he made to the billionaire oligarchs leads me to believe the Dems lose big in 2022. 

Democrats are also in the business of keeping power for themselves. See the 2016 and 2020 elections and the DCCC blacklisting anyone working to unseat “moderate” incumbents.

Electoral politics alone is not an effective means to bring about change. Both parties are beholden to the same corporate interests that profit off of the immiseration of the working class.

The Filibuster is a made-up rule that has historically been used to stifle any and all progressive legislation, especially any legislation dealing with racial or gender equality and labor rights. It is not codified anywhere in US legislation that 60 votes are needed for legislation to pass. The party in power can…

Yeah. It’s sad that for so many of us “Black faces in high places” is the end all be all, policy notwithstanding. 

I can only see this as an attempt by the U.S. ruling class to counter China’s Belt and Road Initiative, further cultivate intelligence and military assets on the Continent and increase the exploitation of people and natural resources.

Then you should also be mad at the Clintons, Bidens, Pelosis and Obamas, etc. Servitude to the ruling class is bipartisan.

Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes the bar eats you

I put communist in scare quotes. I know China is not a communist country. You must have missed that.

I would say that is true in other situations, but not this one. It’s surprising, but not shocking, how little rank and file liberals understand about modern conservativism as a movement. Nothing Kamala Harris does will do anything to sway those conservative senators. Maybe she can glean something from her party…

Dude, your comment, and almost all of the comments in the replies are dripping with Western chauvinism. Let’s not forget that the WHO already conducted a month-long, intensive inquiry into covid with the full cooperation of the Chinese government. The report found no evidence of Chinese culpability or any lab origin bu…

Well, when you have a country with one-fourth of the population of China and literally one hundred-times the covid death toll, what do you expect? You can’t admit “communism” succeeded where capitalism failed, so you deflect.

And you trust anything coming from the intelligence community? OK, I’ll give you a preview.

This site and, frankly, all of the other GMG sites are awash with liberal imperialists. You’re never going to get through to them. I’m surprised you’re not still in the greys like me. 

Not really. Israel is a settler colonial project supported by Western imperialist governments. It could not exist without its military and its military would not exist if not for forced conscription. The US settler colonial project is largely completed. Yet our imperial wars continue abroad. Removing the draft…
