    Fidel Castro said: The yankees want every country to have machetes and mochas in order to win a war.

    Hugo Chavez said: Let’s get weapons from Russia and china instead of the US because during a war we are not going to have any bullets.

    Venezuela has not been attacked because the army has guerrillas training and they can fight in the Venezuelan jungles and it might become another Vietnam, and another guerrillas fighters can join them

    Israel can attack Iran or other middle eastern countries because they have the back up of the USA and they are the only country in the middle east who has atomic bombs and nobody can inspect them.

    Without the economic and military aid of the USA, Israel would have been in the same economic and military level of Palestine

    As Alan Johnston used to says: State war is terrorism with a bigger budget

    When the shit hits the fan, it spread all over. Now, Donald Trump is retreating from his campaign promises to deport all undocumented workers, he is saying that Farms workers and hospitality workers can not be deported. His Casino and hotels employ foreign workers too .

    Ronald Reagan who was reactionary conservative Republican advocated for an immigration amnesty for more than 3 millions workers, is he going to follow the same path ?

    The problem is that the Farmers voted for him, but they are losing money and they have a labor shortage and they are getting any bailout.

    The owners of Hotels and hospitality industry were already losing money and they had a labor shortage before he became a president, and the situation is getting worse now

    The only thing that is holding his government is emigration because everything else has failed including his Kamikaze tariff deals

He and many other officers died defending them

    Link, you say “I remain unconvinced by the intermediary theory”. But in fact you implicitly accept it, that is if you agree that

    ———————————————————————-

    That is what banks are, nothing else, intermediary institutions, Money is issued by governments and the over issuance of money produce inflation, banks can not produce money by the stroke of a keyboard, if they can do that, they will never fail, they will cover their own defaults

    As Raya Dunayeskaya wrote on one of her books: There is not enough gold or silver in the whole world to cover all the money that is circulating over the earth, they can dig all mines of the world, and it will not be enough,

    When paper money was backed up by gold ( and reduced to a tiny piece to cover the paper money ) there was not sufficient precious metal to cover the dollar and other currencies,

    Some small countries had sufficient gold in their reserves to cover their currencies and their currencies was in parity with the dollars until the IMF came in to impose their rules on others countries

    When gold was eliminated as the backup for currencies, industrial productions, prestige and machines gun, gunboat diplomacy became the backup, but money is not issue by banks, it is issued by governments before and after the emerge of computers and digital money transfer.

    Cryptocurrency has been created for money laundering and for money transfer to drugs dealers money and to eliminate central banks but it does not have any real value

    Ambrose Bierce said it best about flags.
    ==============================================

    I had a friend who was a war hero and he had several medals, when he took class consciousness and became a socialists he returned all the medals, and he said: I was a poor worker killing others workers, I was a criminal, I was not a hero

    As the historian Howard Zinn who was a bombardier and he recognized that he was criminal

    During the War my grandfather said: Let the patriots and the defender of the flag to go war to kill themselves for the rich, I will stay watching the girls for them

    Most workers continue believing in the same old rancid and backward idea that with their taxes they are financing the wars, and others continue believing that the so called homeland must be defended for freedom and democracy.

    Wars are financed by the capitalist class and the burden of taxation falls on top of the profits of the capitalist class, it is the same fallacy of the national debts, workers can not even buy foods and pay for shelters.

    At the present time thousands of workers in the so Called first world are buying foods, paying utilities, buying clothings and paying rent using credit cards, that is the real debt of the working class, and the bankruptcy courts are processing thousands of cases for the working class

    The anti war movement is dead, it died a long time ago, and it was not a real anti war movement, even more, during the Vietnam there was not an anti war movement, the only political organization that took a correct stand against wars and against the Vietnam war was the Socialist party.

    At the present the Socialist Party does not support any group of criminals and gangsters involved in the war in Ukraine, but most workers do not follow the stand of the socialist party.

    The socialist party does not wrap itself around any flag

    I am trying to be sarcastic in the sense that the renaissance brought certain new ideas. I know that the real renaissance did all that that you have mentioned

    Except for one fascist group supporting war: the fascist group known as Antifa, which tried to block workers’ anti-war protests in Germany.

    The left wingers and the Leninists are like the menu of the restaurants, they have many varieties and different dishes. Fascism comes in two forms: Fascism and anti fascism

    We had a District Council by-election locally yesterday where the UKIP National Party Chairman stood as a candidate. Looks like Reform UK have stolen UKIP’s followers.

    They are a bunch of crooks and criminals, and are promoting voters supression, but many reactionaries workers are voting for them, and they know that they are crooks but they do not care either, they just want a white buffalo, xenophobic, nationalists, racists, anti scientific, promoter of religious witchcraft, homophobic and anti communists, by the meantime the capitalists are accumulating and stealing a lot of profits from their free labor and they are loving their economic exploitation This society is experimenting an enormous retrogression. probably if we survive these terribles events we are going to need another renaissance

    Better a fascist who opposes war than a “liberal” who promotes it.

    —————————————————————–

    There are more so called liberal leaders and cabinets who are promoting more war hysteria than the so called authoritarian leaders. The left-wingers based on the fallacy of anti imperialism and anti fascism are promoting wars and they want peoples to die defending the so called homeland and a stupid piece of fabric known as the flag
