With the expansion of big capital, there are no countries around the world able to stay by themselves; they are going to be smashed by the big capitalist economy.
As President Petro of Colombia said, we are witnessing the elimination of the nation-state; they do not care to violate the so-called sovereignty of the nations, constitutions and independence
Presidents and leaders can be assassinated or kidnapped; they are not wearing the masks of democracy and freedom; they are openly carrying out their barbaric plans, and openly saying: We want your natural resources.
A small island like Puerto Rico, with a heavy dependence on the USA capitalist class, can be completely economically destroyed if it becomes independent, as Cuba experienced a trade embargo for more than 60 years.
At present, the Puerto Rican workers are experiencing all kinds of economic, social and financial difficulties: a severe water crisis due to climate disaster, corruption and unmaintained infrastructure, budget crisis, debts and unemployment.
The anti-imperialist case of Venezuela, it is also the same case as Iran; most left-wingers of all kinds are supporting the war of Iran against the USA, and they are labeling its as a revolutionary war, which is going to defeat Yankee imperialism, and whoever does not support it is also called a Facho pobre ( poor fascists). What revolution is taking place in Iran? It is a reactionary government, probably more reactionary than all the right-wing governments of Latin America; they have killed as many human beings as the government of Augusto Pinochet in Chile. Some groups who do not support Iran are calling it a paper tiger, or junk capital, against real expansive capital, as this article says:
Just look at the case of Venezuela: after so many years of left-wing propaganda, the so-called socialism of the XXI was knocked down with one palace coup and the removal of the president of Venezuela; it has shown that it was not deeply rooted in Venezuelan society.
Chavistas are in a stampede, and chavismo is no longer a predominant ‘ideology ‘, and it has shown its cracks, and some workers are supporting the removal of Maduro; they are not ‘facho pobre’ ( poor people’s fascists), as they are called by the left-wingers.
The leftists did not fulfil their promises, and they became poorer, and it became an authoritarian and repressive system like the right-wingers, and the leaders and the ruling class accumulated capital from their labour; it was an economy based on mono-production, and now some foreign investors do not want to invest money because they might lose money, and the Chinese and Russians want their contracts to be fulfilled,
The USA is not going to take over Cuba; it is only a dog barking to get votes. They owe money to everybody, including the Sicilian mafia, and they are in default; the industry is destroyed; the only investment would be tourism to create Trump Island using Arab investors. The Cuban workers want to get rid of that government; if they have a democratic election, the winner would be the right-wingers; they do not know anything about state capitalism; if you say that Cuba is a state capitalist country, they will take you to jail.
That is not irrational; it is rational. They do not know what they want; they do not have class consciousness and political education. It was the same situation in Chile: the so-called socialist government of Boric and the communist alliance passed laws against the working class, sent troops to the Mapuche territories, and now they are collaborating with the right-wing. Both so-called communist leaders run a nationalist and xenophobic campaign like the right-wingers, like the old McDonald ads: Where is the beef? The same dogs wearing different collars
In Chile, some high-ranking members of the Communist Party became ministers of defence, the army, and the police (Carabineros). During the campaign, they were the champions of feminism, and there was a women’s protest, and they sent the troops and the police to the protests, and the Mapuches voted against them and rejected their new constitution. The Boric government acted like President Piñera, and he was part of the old right-wing coalition; they oscillate like a clock pendulum
The vice president of Venezuela is now supporting the right-wingers, and she has changed his past stance; she might be getting her benefits or part of the fruitcake like Chavez and his closer allies.
The Venezuela communist party was hijacked by the Chavistas, and they are silent, and people do not trust them anymore. Who are the workers going to elect? They might do as in Colombia and Chile, where people voted null and blank, and there was a high abstention, and right-wing candidates were elected by a small margin or with election fraud, and in the past Chile was one of the more politically educated countries in Latin America
During the last Brazilian election, Lula had to make alliances with some right-wing groups, and lately he had to give some concessions to Donald Trump, too. This is an article from a Trotskyist newspaper. Mario Pedrosa helped with the formation of Lula’s left-wing party, and some underground groups helped him too, and then some groups broke away from him; left-wingers always have internal problems with their alliances. It is their natural Leninist foundations
The growing popularity of Trotskyists in Argentina.
Workers in Latin America are like a clock pendulum; they can oscillate from right to left and from left to right. Lula in Brazil is losing popularity, and Bolsonaro’s son is gaining it; in Peru, the daughter of Fujimori was elected president. Sometimes workers suffer from historical amnesia; Bolsonaro and Fujimori supported the criminal military generals, and Bolsonaro promoted a state coup d’etat

elect-a-populist/. Brazilian people elect a populistWho was Camilo Torres? He was a priest who called himself a Marxist, but his ideas influenced the Peronists guerrillas groups and the priests who worked in Villas Miserias (a working-class neighbourhood), and they influenced Pope Francis. The real founder of liberation theology was Gustavo Gutiérrez. All those movements were in some way supported by the Trotskyists

In Argentina, the Trotskyists ( who have worn several masks ) are becoming Peronists ( they are dancing to the tune of the same tango ) who are right-wingers too, pretending to be socialists; the Trotskyist Morenaist supported the dictator Fulgencio Batista; other Trotskyist sects supported Saddam Hussein and the stalinist supported Trujillo, who was willing to negotiate with the soviets to avoid assassination and a coup from the USA.
Argentina is the country that has the biggest population of Trotskyists in Latin America; but they can not compete with the Stalinists, Maoists, Hoxhaists and the Castroists. You can place all of them in a blender, and you will get the same juice; there is no ideological difference.
If the right-wing president Milei dares to challenge England, they will support him too, based on so-called Leninist anti-imperialism, national liberation and nationalisation; some Trotskyists in the USA ask for the nationalisation of the Budweiser company: beer for everybody.
They are already saying that the Falkland Islands belong to the Argentinian workers, as they said it during the first war against England,( ALB published their leaflet ) and this time might be defeated again, but the problem is that the USA also want the oil and gas reserves of the Malvinas; with their new puppet and clown elected in Colombia, they might also take control of the Colombian oil, they have not invaded cuba because they do not have oil but they can make business arrangements to control the tourism industry and the cuban government will share the profits with them.
Many Trotskyists have supported the Cuban government after they were kicked out by the Stalinists in Cuba along with the anarchists, but they are like the chameleon; they adapt themselves to the colour of the tree.
The Trotskyist theorist known as Celia Hart was a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba. As the old saying goes: If you want to get with dogs, you will get fleas; she applied the permanent revolution theory to the Cuban bourgeoisie revolution, which was also supported by a large sector of the Cuban oligarchy and the catholic church, who wanted to flip the wings to Fulgencio Batista, and the USA imposed an arms embargo on his government and he had to buy weapons from the Armeria San Cristobal owned by Trujillo and many of the weapons ended in the hands of the guerrillas fighters.
Probably I would not call it irrational for the workers who support right-wingers; they do not have class consciousness, as millions of workers in the whole world do not have either, support left wingers might be irrational too. If workers had class consciousness, this capitalist system would last less than a roach inside a chicken coop.
I am dealing with some right-wing workers at present, and their political ignorance is very profound, but some of them are doing their own research and reasoning on my world analysis, and some have accepted that they are mistaken. In the USA, some right-wing supporters are voting for the so-called democratic socialists; they do not trust either political tendency. As we said in one article, the left-wingers pave the way for the right-wingers; the right-wingers also pave the way for the left-wingers

The red shadow ( Trotskyism ) of Peronism, a three-part article. The Montoneros were Peronist guerrilla fighters rooted in Guevarism and the liberation theology of Camilo Torres ( Camilistas )
This move by President Milei has been called the Peronization of Milei. In Argentia are saying that everybody comes back to the Tango, or any politician always becomes a Peronist

The company built on selling books is now destroying them. A new investigation reveals Amazon’s industrial-scale operation to slice, scan, and shred rare literature for AI training data—exposing the tech industry’s desperate, multi-front panic over running out of human-written text.————————————————
Amazon, owned by Jeff Bezos, started as a bookstore
A confrontation between Argentina and England is a suicidal act. England is more powerful than Argentina, and it has more industrial resources and more experience in wars and military tactics. Argentina is borrowing from Mastercard to pay for the Visa card. They are under financial stress, making a currency swap with China and the USA
That is totally correct; that is what I am doing.
When I can not find a physical book, I buy the digital version, and I transform it into a physical book, and sometimes it is much better than the original one.s
We can not hold the bull by the horns; it will kill us. Only toreros know how to handle them, and sometimes they get killed too.
I printed all the works of Julius Martov, and I transformed them into a book, and it has middle age spine. They only published his works in English, and I have translated them into Spanish.ish
Left-wingers hate Martov because he was able to prove that Lenin and the Bolsheviks were wrong, and they do not want to propagate his works; they are opportunists.c
They are doing the same thing that Amazon is doing, which is to destroy literature, but at least Amazon is turning it into a digital format.
They tried to kill Martov completely, as they tried to do the same thing with Luxembourg, and now Rosa has been published in 5 volumes, including her letters, and it is a beautiful collection.
I have the 42 volumes of Lenin ( physical and digital format); only 5 books are important, and they are a distortion of Marxism too. The only important book of Stalin is Anarchism and socialism, and he wrote 13 volumes, and I have them too ( physical and digital books ). The only important book from Trotsky is The History of the Russian Revolution, but his biography was written by Isaac Deutscher. In My Life, he does not cover everything; therefore, we must look to both worlds. Mao Tse-tung is all crap, and he published 5 volumes. I had read Donald Trump’s book too
The same call was made by the military, where thousands of inexperienced young people died, and now they are saying that Milei is a puppet of Yankee imperialism,
If they start a war, they are going to support Milei based on the same Leninist concept of anti-imperialism.
They are nationalist Peronists dressed as socialists
The Trotskyists and Morenaists supported the Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista.
Some Trotskyist groups supported Iraq dictator Saddam Hussein and Arabs nationalism.
Argentina has a large Jewish community, and during the Dirty War, many were taken to prison or killed, and some preferred to move to Israel.
He is playing with the Christians and the Jews, and at the same time, he is supporting the military, like Bolsonaro in Brazil.
He is more pro-Nazis, Christian nationalists and white supremacists than toward the Jews. Antisemitism is deeply rooted in Argentinian society
The fires on the patagania have always been blamed on the Jews peoples, when in reality they are produced by climate change and mining, which produce drought on the lands and the forests. They are conspiracy theories created by neo nazis
Israel provided weapons to the military and right-wing guerrillas during the Central American civil wars and during the Condor Operation.
Jimmy Carter was like Pontius Pilate washing his hands

That is how I learned to do bookbinding ( hobby and student part-time job). It is a beautiful artisan art that is dying in some countries, except in places like Mexico, Spain and Puerto Rico, where most of my bookbinding for textbooks has been done.
A company named Gemco sells all the supplies, tools and devices for bookbinders and libraries.
Most of them inherited the training from prior family generations, like carpenters, masons, shoemakers, tailors, or saddlers; that is the reason why the USA can not replace the construction workers quickly, and many of them have been deported; nationalism is backward and retrograde.
Most of them are foreign people who learned their careers or trades from relatives and old shop teachers, like my father, who was also a fine woodworker (called Maestro) before becoming a business owner; my mother also worked with him. All those artisan trainings have been lost, and it takes years to become a professional worker.
Mexicans are experts in construction work, cuisine, and agriculture because they were trained by their parents, who owned shops, small farms, or worked in the industry since they were little children; there were correspondence schools who teached those trades, including mechanics, radio repairs, and tailoring (they were called Corte Inglés e Italiano), such as Hemphills and National schools.
New York had many tailor shops owned by Italians, and women dressmakers became factory workers during the boom of the textile industry; they lost their jobs when industries were moved to other countries, and now they are blaming the workers instead of the capitalists
Most traditional trades have been thrown away; we are not as modern as we think that we are. Probably in a socialist society, men/women would have more freedom to revive those trades, as Paul Lafargue wrote.
The industrial bookbinding companies are glueing the spine of the books using machines, but real bookbinders are artistic people; they know how to use leather covers like a saddler, and they have special tools to stamp artistic decorations and letters on the book’s hardcover, and they use leathers of different colours.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnz0rB77YeM. The video has English subtitles or closed captions. They use medieval bookbinding techniques, showing what TM has always said: that the Middle Ages were not the Dark Ages; we are not living under a real dark age with the development of capitalism and rightwing populists leaders and Christian craps.
In the old days, universities had a bookbinding and newspaper printing department attached to the library department, and it was part of the library science training; they had a manual guillotine instead of electric guillotines, book spines were sewn using needles and cotton strings, and cotton fabric spine covers; some people have PHD degree in Librarian sciences; it is a beautiful career. Mao Tse Tung was an assistant librarian; he was not a professional librarian, as his followers have always said. Under the old Johnson plan (the so-called Great Society), many students worked as part-time assistant librarians. USA president Lyndon Johnson was a teacher before he became president
