    Composed by Alvaro Carrillo from Mexico. The Cuban pianist Roberto Vazquez

    Alvaro Carrillo, who was a Mexican African/Mixtec descendant, composed many songs. He came from a very poor working-class class

    https://kurzweil.com/2019/11/20/roberto-vazquez/. Roberto Vazquez is a professional Cuban musician from Santa Clara. Music and culture have not died in Cuba, as the right-wingers have propagated. As Mario Bauza said, Latin Jazz is American Jazz on top and Afro-Cuban music at the bottom

    According to this news center, Russia has some new military weapons that the European power and the USA do not have at the present time

    https://www.voltairenet.org/article223118.html

    Russia possessed the capability to disconnect NATO orders from its own weapons. This wasn’t a form of jamming; the weapons simply stopped responding to commands. Since some observers doubted its effectiveness, Russia extended this system to all of Syria. And because it operated within a circular area, it partially extended it, for two days, to Lebanon, Iraq, and Turkey. No civilian aircraft were able to fly. Subsequently, they deployed this weapon in Kaliningrad and the Black Sea.

    The Cuban government wrote on the Granma newspaper that Marco Rubio was a midget trying to obtain the job of a giant, and they said that before he was nominated Secretary of State

    He has been pushed to the side by Trump and he is sending to Moscow one of his business partner and his son in law acting as ambassadors but they have not been official nominated by the Congress,

    It looks like little Marco can not handle his diplomatic job and the Russians are tough negotiators, and they are holding the fry pan by the handle, and that proxy war is already lost

    More weapons for Ukraine.

    ———————————————

    If they do that, they are going to have a lot of protests on the street because they must replace bread and butter for weapons. The Europeans workers are different to the American ( USA ) workers

    Who is Jeannette Jara the ‘communist” leading Chile presidential election ?

    Villa Alemana, Chile – Cumbia music blasts from the speakers of a makeshift stage at a small, unassuming park in Villa Alemana, part of Chile’s central region.

    Hundreds of locals crowd onto the paved park grounds. Pockets of friends dance together, and children race around their parents’ legs.

    They have come to hear one of the frontrunners in Chile’s presidential race: Jeannette Jara.

    A former labour minister, Jara is the nominee representing the leftist coalition in Sunday’s election.

    But it is her membership in the Communist Party that makes her presidential bid historic. Not since Chile’s return to democracy in 1990 has a Communist candidate enjoyed such broad, mainstream support.

    For some, Jara’s success is a barometer for the economic malaise fuelling this year’s election cycle. For others, her candidacy is a symptom of the growing polarisation within Chilean politics.

    Jara has campaigned on the former, playing up her working-class roots. She has pledged to support Chile’s public healthcare system, build affordable housing and raise wages.

    “Considering that politics generates so much mistrust, being able to gather like this, with hard-working people, really fills my heart,” Jara, 51, told the crowd in Villa Alemana, dressed in blue jeans and a loose-fitting blazer rolled up at the sleeves.

    “It will be my priority to improve people’s quality of life.”

    I think you are getting confused because he is using “ideology” in the descriptive sense, rather than in the prejoritive sense, as in “false consciousness”.

    ———————————————————-
    That term was privately used by Engels when he sent a letter to Franz Mehring, but he never mentioned it in any of his works, and it was never used by Marx either. And several Marxists have rejected that concept.

    Marx defined it as the prevailing ideas of the ruling class in any class society, or the distortion of.
    reality

    Donald Trump is not a fascist, and he is not a dictator; he is a reactionary authoritarian right-winger like the Democratic leaders. Only the Trotskyists and Stalinists are the ones who see Fascists all over the earth

    Some Democratic leaders have called Trump a fascist and a dictator, but the Democrats have also supported many dictators, military juntas and criminals around the world, and they are warmongers too

    The idea that Donald Trump is a Russian agent came from the Democratic leaders when they lost the election, and fascism is a form that capitalism adopted in Italy and Germany. Putin and Trump are pro-capitalist leaders, defenders of the capitalist society, and both promoted the capitalist ideology.

    The USA ruling class has a contradiction with the Russian and Chinese capitalists and the European ruling class, but it is not an asset of the Russian capitalist class. Trump is a representative of one sector of the US capitalist class.

    Many things that Trump is doing now, he said that he was going to do them on his political campaign and despite that, more than 77 million workers supported and voted for him

    Rockhill’s book is a Stalinoid-campist take-down of the Frankfurt School that no one can take seriously. We do not have to agree with any writers or organisations to do a book review; on the contrary, it is much better to do a book review of opposite conceptions because we can explain our own.

    His conceptions are not new; most of them have been previously covered by Raya Dunayevskaya, Kevin Anderson, Peter Hudis and Andrew Kliman from the Marxist Humanist point of view, by News and Letters, the Marxist Humanist Tendency and the International Marxist Humanist organisation, and they have written several books, articles, conferences, and book reviews. They have done a much better analysis, and they have written extensively in a critical way about the Frankfurt School

    Kevin Anderson has debunked the concept of Western Marxism because they have done a profound investigation into Marx’s ethnological notebooks, which is more wider anthropological study than Engels book on the Family, pre-capitalist societies and the state, and the Asiatic despotic mode of production, which is different to European feudalism, and they have considered that Marxian theory is not a Western or Eurocentric conception, it does cover and it applies to the whole world

    The idea that Marx’s conceptions are not anti-colonial or lack the knowledge of colonialism has been debunked too, after the apologists of socialism of the XXI century made allegations that Marx and Engels were not aware of “third-world” ( in the traditional sense, instead of the real definition ) colonialism when they wrote hundreds of articles about that, the problem emerged when Marx letter on Simom Bolivar calling him the Latin American Napoleon, which is not an incorrect analysis of simon bolivar, and he knew what he was saying

    Russia not in the loop, according to Peskov.

    —————————————————–

    That agreement was made by Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska, and then it was confirmed in Florida with officials from Russia and the USA in October. It was not made public until November, and the government of Ukraine did not know about it.

    Zelensky will be forced to sign it because there is an American investigation committee that investigated him and some of his officials about corruption and money embezzlement, and several Ukrainian officials have been forced to leave.

    If he does not accept the proposal, he would be forced to follow the same path; they are holding him by the balls, and the European Union, which knew about the corruption, would be forced to pay 50% of the reconstruction of Ukraine.

    The territories that Russia wants to keep were under its dominion before the war, and most citizens of those places want to be part of Russia, and Russia is getting what it wanted since the very beginning, and the USA is going to obtain large profits from the Ukrainian natural resources.

    Russia has been able to develop some modern weapons that the Western powers and the USA do not have at present, including weapons that can produce a big tsunami

    My first alma mater had its own buses and free transportation for all the students, and free tuition, including the school of medicine, lunch, dinner and breakfast were free, textbooks were sold without any profits, and the senate was controlled by the students. Nothing new, and it was not a communist measure
