The banana road from South America to China.
Chinese capitalists do not need the Panama Canal, now, the route between China and South America is shorter, and the dry ports will be connected to the Peruvian megaport. The real threat to the US capitalist class is the Chinese trade, and the commercial routes that they are creating in South and Central America and they can be displaced
The old concept of Banana Republic was applicable to Honduras and Guatemala production of bananas and when one US corporation was able to control the whole nation but that concept is not longer applicable with the world expansion of capitalism, as well, the concept of third world is not applicable any longer, it was a political term applicable during the Cold War period
One of the few individuals in the US who really know the history of immigration is Aviva Chomsky, although some of her research had already been done by a group of peoples from the Caribbean islands, and Chineses, and Juan Gonzalez journalist of Democracy Now.
The history of the US immigration is very complex and variable, as well the laws of immigration is very complex too, and variable, it changed according to the economic changes of the nation and the logic of capitalist mode of production.
Before 1965 there was not such thing as ilegal emigration, and there was not quota on immigration, and before the H1B Visa, there was another one known as practical training which was given to professional graduated in the USA, specially to engineers when the USA was an industrialized nation, even more, engineers were hired before being graduated.
Harvard founded the University of Puerto Rico in order to produce more mechanicals, civil engineers and agronomists, most of the students already had background on calculus and physics. Immigration laws are based on priorities and precedents, as well, there was a priority for emigrants from the so called communist countries, and for the exiles from Central America also created for political propaganda
Those nationalists do not know the history and the laws of immigration, and they do not know that thousands of engineers have been fired in the USA and they have been replaced by cheaper labor forces, and many of them can not find a job, and most graduate schools of sciences are surviving because many students are from foreign countries such as China, India and the Middle East, the rest of the students are majoring in business administration and finance
The USA continues using the Doctrine of discovery which gave to the European invaders the rights to take and steal all lands, territories, resources and to kill the original inhabitants of those regions, and put their own names on everything, and impose their religions on all the peoples that survived. Again they want to apply the Monroe doctrine in Latin America, and the Carter doctrine in the Middle East

Now, they want to give a new name to the Gulf of Mexico without consulting with Mexico, Cuba and the inhabitants of the Caribbeans islands, now he wants to name it the Gulf of America, this ignorant does not even know the history of the region, as well, he does not know the history of Greenland, its geological formation, their intention is just to produce profits at all cost ( oil, gas, fish and sulfur ) and a bunch of workers without consciousness support their ambitions blinded by nationalism
All those continents and islands had their names before the Europeans invaders came to the region, and the whole region used to be called the Turtle Island,( Abya Yala ) they have placed their names on everything and they have destroyed all culture and civilizations around the whole world, and now they are destroying the oldest civilization in the Middle East ( Near East ) which is Syria, or the Caldean and the Assyrian, and they destroyed Iraq. The south-west of the USA was called Aztlan

Christoper Columbus and his expeditionaries should have sunk in the sea to avoid the massacre of more than 75 millions of human beings, the so called Columbus Day has been eliminated in several countries in Latin America, it is the celebration of a massacre like thanksgiving day and most peoples do not know the real history of that event
Americo Vespucci was just a liar, a forgery, and a map robber like most of the ones that headed those explorations, they did not discover anything, they were the ones that were discovered by the natives, that is the reason why they do not want the school system to use the history books of Howard zinn because he has debunked all those myth and lies, but they can not cover the sun with one finger because the historians Juan Bosh, Francis Jennings, Jimenez Grullon, and Galeano have written the same historical description and millions of peoples have read their books

This reactionary right wingers do not respect any history, human beings, laws, treaties, or the independence of any country,( isolationism and interventionism combined ) they are the new buccaneers and the filibusters, and the pirates like Francis Drake which were a bunch of thieves, murderers, and land robbers
PS Galeano book was given to Barrack Obama, he did not know that history either, living on pipe dreams, when he was young he mentioned Malcom X
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Veins_of_Latin_AmericaThis Megaport might become more important than the Panama Canal
She might use this controversy as a pretext to increase her popularity which is down to 36%
She is the wife of ex president Zelaya who was overthrown by a coup orchestrated by the USA and Hillary Clinton, and Obama, he was a right winger but he changed his tendency to the left to receive the support of the government of Venezuela and Hugo Chavez. Another coup for commercial route toward the Panama Canal

Capitalism will not collapse by itself, it must be replaced by the world working class, and the world working class is not ready for that mission yet
Millions of workers still believe that capitalism is their only viable solution, and millions of US workers are still supporting capitalism and pro capitalist leaders, electing either one would have been the same thing. Capitalism as usual .
Donald Trump was elected by workers from different social backgrounds, including white, blacks, latinos, women, asian, and middle eastern, they believed in the promises of a right wing demagogue, in the same way that workers have believed in the promises of left-wings demagogues, and both have greased the wheels of capitalism
Capitalism is becoming more reactionary and recalcitrant but it is not collapsing, cyclical crisis is a normal process of the capitalist society.
I have heard the same thing about the decomposition of capitalism for several decades and capitalism is still producing profits and it has not collapsed.
It is the same mistake made by Rosa Luxembourg and that is the reason why she supported the uprising and she was killed, capitalism was not collapsing in her time .
There was not a workers socialist revolution in France and Germany, and none has taken placed around the world, on the contrary, workers have embraced capitalist nationalism.
Right wings populists are becoming popular and are winning elections without any coup d’tat, and have a large support among the working class due to the failures and the false promises, and false theories of the left-wingers social democrats, and others pro reformist groups including the Leninists
Argentina is the best example, with so many leftwings, anarchists, and Leninists groups ( several tendencies ) and the workers elected an ultra right wing leader, in this case, a so called anarco capitalist
I think we should listen to the opinions of others political organizations. I have participated on online meeting given by the ICC ( CCI ) and I attend public meeting given by others organizations

WARS IN THE MIDDLE EAST (1)
After more than a decade of bloody conflict in which more than 600.000 people were killed and more than 14 million were forced to flee their homes, the Syrian ‘civil’ war seemed to have settled in a stalemate and a de facto partition of the country. And yet, only a little push was needed to topple Assad.
The government forces refused to fight. Everywhere the rebels came, there was little or no resistance, everywhere they were greeted by jubilant masses cheering the downfall of the hated regime.

It looks like the 24-48 hours war ending offered by Trump to his followers during the election campaign is not going to take place. They were just promises made by a populist demagogue leader
Before been officially nominated as a president, he had made certain peace offerings to the Russians but they have rejected all of them, the accords made between capitalists are not based on friendship, they are based on their own interests
The Russians are not fools, and the main objectives of their invasion to Ukraine are still on the negotiation table, and they are not going to give to the USA a big piece of the cake, that is a war for natural resources, routes and spheres of influences
And the same principle must be applied to the Syrian rebels, the honeymoon is not going to last too long, they are going to be removed too by the main external forces involved in the conflict, they were just used as pawn to remove the Syrian government, and the fight will continue in a wider scale.
The British capitalists have not removed them from their terrorist list

The USA has had contacts with them, but they have offered them certain conditions, I think neither one them are going to comply with those conditions. Israel will continue being the main target of those Islamist groups
https://www.npr.org/2024/12/15/nx-s1-5229536/us-syrian-rebel-group-htsThe looting of the Syrian resources and its territories will continue, and Israel will continue taking more lands and weaken the government of Iran
https://consortiumnews.com/2024/12/29/six-scenarios-for-syria/. Six scenarios for Syria
t is naive to assume that the current regime in Syria will remain in place — as it is — going forward.Syria is now in a state of uneasy transition and the political-military situation will remain in flux as long as the conflicts between the various armed and civic groups are not resolved.

Another commercial and capitalist production agreement made by Joe Biden with the Vietnamese leadership, no more talks about communist threats after thousands of human beings were killed by both sides, the article written by the Socialist Party about the Vietcong and the so called national liberation was totally correct
The capitalists know as an American state minister said about the Soviet Union: it is state capitalism, probably, they are more aware than several leftwing groups who continue claiming that Vietnam is a socialist country, but they call it market socialism, they have thrown away Marx’s Das Kapital
They have placed the Vietnamese workers on a silver plate for the western capitalists, allowing them to extract surplus value from their labor, and both sides became super rich and workers are continue living in extreme poverty and the western capitalists blame the problem on communism
Ho Chi Min was an old friend and allied of the Western capitalists, ( the same as Joseph Stalins ) therefore, it is the renovation of an old alliance with his followers known as the vietcong
All presidents are the continuators of the prior policies of other presidents and when they leave the White House they are canonized by the capitalist class and the corporate press and if they were war criminals they become humanitarians, pro-labors and defenders of human rights
https://asiatimes.com/2023/03/the-us-cannot-afford-to-repeat-the-mistakes-of-1979/. Jimmy Carter and Ten Hsiao Ping, and supporting China military attack against Vietnam which produced thousands of deaths on both sides . The US historians have two set of books like the ex-bookkeepers of the sicilian mafia
On that occasion China did not apply the reactionary so-called Three world theory created by Mao Tse Tung, in which the USA and Russia were enemies number one, and the biggest world threat according to the Chinese leaders, the only threat was the Soviet Union .
China made alliance with many reactionaries governments around the whole world, and the Maoists were saying that the economic was socialists, and capitalist investment would not affect the economic base of the society, and workers would benefits ( it sound like Lenin state capitalism ) and it created a big division among the Maoist movement and the emerge of the so called Albanian tendency.
Now China is the biggest competitor for world hegemony against the USA, and enemy number one of the USA capitalist class, it sounds like the period before WW2 and during WW 2 in regard to Germany .
As Thomas More has said: Why burn books when people are not reading them ? That event was widely published in the Peking Review, Albania Today and Russia Today and some US newspapers. In that time we were reading books, newspapers, pamphlets, magazines and listening broadcasting in shortwave radios
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn446nmjp1vo. The main concern was not the diplomats’ ties, the main concern was to establish factories in China, and then they blamed the lack of jobs on the emigrants, that move was also done by Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton. The real replacement was done by the capitalist class.
History is a tragedy the first time, and like a farce on the second time
https://gwtoday.gwu.edu/50-years-later-richard-nixons-historic-visit-china. Richard Nixon visit to China, someone that I knew said: Mao is placing the so called Chinese revolution on the floor on a red carpet, but in reality it was a pro capitalist revolution carried on later with the so called four modernizations and the development of capitalism in China
https://www.hrw.org/legacy/campaigns/china-98/visit.htm. Bill Clinton visited China, profits first and human rights later. The character of the state did not end with one particular capitalist administration it continue its mission, It is the executive apparatus to manage the affairs of the capitalist class

This is a very detailed historical description of the Carter administration. They are saying that Trumpism is a cult, but Carter is also a capitalist cult, one created by the Republicans and the other one created by the Democrats,
The market-libertarians (brand: Reason magazine) salute him as the pre-Reagan:

That magazine treats him a little soft, but this is what really he was :
https://www.counterpunch.org/2023/03/02/jimmy-carter-is-a-liberal-saint-now-was-a-war-criminal-then/
Carter is a liberal saint now, was a war criminal then. The bourgeois press does not mention that he also made agreement with China which cost the life of thousands of Chinese and Vietnamese. Like him, China also supported several reactionary and right wing government including the government of Augusto Pinochet based on the so called Three World Theory developed by Mao Tse Tung, and later on they denied that it was created by Mao
https://www.counterpunch.org/2024/12/30/jimmy-carter-the-false-savoir/. Jimmy Carter the false savoirThe same situation that the Democrats are describing about Donald Trump also took place during the election of Bill Clinton, he was elected for less than 49% of the voters . This is what the Historian Howard Zinn wrote about him :
https://www.historyisaweapon.com/defcon1/zinnclicri23.html
The discontent around the US voters is a very old situation that culminated with a big absenteeism in this last election, and probably the same trend will continue during the next presidential election
No wonders why they want to eliminate Howard Zinn books from public schools because he has debunked all the historical myth and pipe dreams about the history of the USA
