and it snowed last night. A lot less snow than the gigantic amount we got last time, but the extremely cold conditions made the snow so dense and heavy. So difficult to break and shovel that stuff away. Perfect for making igloos though...

more comic book evil villainy from Israel

Chomsky is very Anti-USSR, calling it a coup staged by Lenin and the Bolsheviks. Very anti-Marxist, comparing Marxism with religious fanatics. I am not kidding, years ago, I listened to an interview he did on Robert McChesney's old podcast. McChesney was a leftist media prof, and once part of the editorial committee of longtime Socialist magazine Monthy Review. During the interview, Chomsky talked about how it was that the Berlin Wall fell, because East Germany and the USSR was not Socialism. McChesney asked Chomsky what country is closest to Socialism, and Chomsky says the USA because of all its freedoms. I had to re-listen that part to make sure I didn't misheard. That explains why he calls himself some sort of Anarchist, but always tells his fans to vote Democrats lol

When Chomsky's elderly first wife died, he instantly hooked up with Valeria (a Brazilian lady that was decades younger than him), it was a bit odd at the time, but now with the whole Epstein connections...

Jordan Said Won’t Allow Attack On Iran, But U.S. Electronic Attack Jets And Combat Drones Are There

they also shoot down Iranian missiles to protect Israel

sociopaths excel in capitalist society

they actually made a movie about a trophy wife? lol, Melania has done absolutely nothing

any country with a Communist Party rule, or any left leaning government, should be fearful of Amerikkka trying a color revolution

He was a hardcore Maoist in his youth, the Deng reforms really affected him. If you're a fan of Finkelstein, Paul Jay did a really great series of interviews with him years ago, pretty funny too.

The liberal reformist wing is still strong and they still dream of a normalized relation with the West. They still believe the West will play nice if they denuclearize. This is a fantasy, Israel wants regime change, but maybe the liberal reformists secretly also want regime change. Khamanei seems to play a balancing role betwen the liberal reformists and the conservatives (who understands that the West is not to be trusted and look more towards Russia and China).

1998 was Jiang Zemin's rule, yeah Parenti had plenty of reasons for seeing China as capitalist during that time period.

Becker is one of the founders of PSL when they split from WWP. It's difficult to pinpoint Wolf's exact ideology, because he seems to present some co-op road to Socialism to a mostly America audience.. He did call Mao a great Revolutionary, and seems to have a positive view of modern China.

Watch Danny Haiphong's last interview with Ali Alizadeh. He points out the reason why Russia/China are not eager to form a stronger pact with Iran. There are two factions within Iran, the Conservatives and Liberal Reformists. The Liberal Reformists are always looking to normalize and build stronger ties with the West, including the USA. Every time Russia/China offers stronger ties with Iran, the liberals will just stall. Not sure if it's true, but he points out that the last time Xi Jinping visited Iran, he was put in a hotel room that didn't even have a working toilet. I would think the strong Iranian oligarchs are part of the liberal reformists, since they have a lot of assets in the West.

I'm sure Israel-Mossad has more incriminating evidence of Trump that they are holding. With all the Amerikkkan force buildup in the region, an attack in guaranteed. I don't see an easy off ramp for both sides this time. If Amerikkka is successful in killing more top generals, IRI can't simply do some symbolic retaliation with pre warning so Amerikkkan troops don't get killed. Iran has already shown underwater missile tunnels that they are threatening to shut down the straight of Hormuz. I hope they hit puppet Arab countries that are essentially US military bases.

yeah every time I listen to Prof Mohammad Marandi on youtube (mostly on Haiphong's channel) he is clearly anti-Marxist and Communist. He is always pointing out that Iran and Cuba are allies, despite Cuba being Communist. Times change, the IRI is now the biggest target of US-Israeli aggression and is the sole state player that supports Palestine against Genocide. The entire world has abandoned Palestinians to Israeli slaughter, and only oppose it in useless words of condemnation.

Next month he'll be saying China is the greatest threat.

This group is part of the RCI (formerly IMT), they have ok politics for Trots (pro Palestine, Venezuela, Cuba) but see China as Imperialist.

we got hit by over 4 ft of snow here, it's crazy! Side of sidewalks are piled up to 6 ft! luckily it's light fluffy snow for now. Been shovelling all day just to clear my back and front steps, and it's still fuck'n snowing! I've seen those battery operated snowblower shovels, very tempted.
