    Antifascists are fascists in that they oppose free speech and wish to silence those of another opinion.
    No wonder they are on both sides of the front line in Ukraine.

    ——————————

    Both sides are calling each other fascists. An authoritarian oligarch and criminal leader like Putin, a former colonel of the KGB, calls fascists all his opponents. Like Stalin used to call everybody a fascist, and his followers still call everybody a fascist. All those conspiracy journalists of our time see fascism all over the earth. I have read them using the term ecological fascism. Nobody is saying that the real cause of our problem is capitalism; they think that the best solution is to replace leaders

    Lenin lived in Paris for several years. Paris was a city that had many Russian exiles from different political tendencies

    In Capitalist developed countries with limited bourgeois democracy, like the US, Germany, France, and England, it would be very difficult to establish a personal dictatorship. Trump was not only elected by White people; thousands of Latinos, African Americans, Asians, and Arabs voted for him

    Editorial – Trump – what now?

    A journalist wrote that fascism comes in two forms: Fascism and Anti fascism, and they are as violent as the fascists.

    In Argentina and Chile, the workers who do not support the left-wingers are called poor fascists

    I read the World Socialist Web because they provide daily news from a left-wing perspective, and many of you quote them often.

    —————————–

    We publish articles and pamphlets from other Leninist groups, including the Internationalist Perspective, the International Communist Current, Marxist Humanists and other Left communist groups, but they do not publish any of our articles.

    I published several articles written by the WSWS about the origin of Human beings because they are correct.
    We are open to ideas.

    I published two articles from the Internationalist Perspective about the war in the Middle East on a so-called Marxist forum, and they were rejected because they indicate that Hamas is part of the problem and they are the rulers of the Palestinians, but for them, Hamas is the real Palestinian resistance, their conception are based on the national liberation, in our article titled: Was Marx ever a Leninist, show where that wrong onception come from. They are intolerant.

    I published two articles written by Martov, and one Trotskyist asked why I support right-wingers, and he had not read anything about Martov. Even more, they call themselves Leninists, and they have not read anything about Lenin

    For the Trotskyists, Leon Trotsky is a god that can not be questioned; they have turned him into a religion, and he must be worshipped, and the same thing has been done with Lenin, and there are hundreds of Trotskyist groups around the world who have had a different conception of Trotskyism, and they have had their own disputes, like the evangelicals, all of them claim that they are the real trotsyists followers, in the same way that all evangelicals groups are the real followers of Jesus.

    Many conceptions about Leninism and Trotskyism must be critically questioned, and we have done that, especially since Trotsky was the one with the least socialist knowledge of all the  Bolsheviks. All religions are based on sectarian conceptions, and most Leninist groups are also based on sectarian conceptions. Lenin wrote around 42 volumes, and only a few of his works are important, and they are wrong too, including Imperialism, What is to be done, and the state and the revolution, and the worst one is about national liberation. All of them have been debunked by the Socialist Party, and we have proven that between Trotsky and Stalin, there were no essential differences, only a management style of how to oppress the workers

    Their central conception, which is the permanent revolution, has been taken without being questioned because it was taken from Marx’s view about the failure of the German bourgeois revolution; it has nothing to do with skipping economic society toward socialism,  the development of capitalism can not be skipped and socialism can not be established on economic backward society,  and Lenin, without questioning it he also adopted it, therefore, their conception is only applicable to third world countries and it is also wrong too,

    Some followers of Che Guevara are trying to apply his Maoist conception to developed countries like England, Germany or the US. His grandson said that those conceptions were wrong too, and he was an anarchist who lived in Mexico. And hundreds of Che Guevara sects have turned him into a god, and all his ideas are universally applicable,  and there is a church in Bolivia for Saint Ernesto Guevara; all his conceptions are pure idealistic, and all who have followed him have failed, and they have only produced death, chaos and crisis, and we have also critically questioned his conceptions. He had no socialist conceptions at all; he only advocated one, which was a society without a monetary system, and he became the director of the Cuban Central Bank. In Argentina, there are hundreds of Guevara sects, and he is mainly worshipped because he was from Argentina, and Argentine workers rejected their conception during the last presidential election.

    Mao was also turned into a god that can not be questioned, and his conceptions are universally applicable like the Jewish bible, and they followed him like a god figure, and all of them are like religious sects. I have dealt with all those sects, and I know how they are and what they advocate. And many people died in vain following those sects, and most of their groups were controlled by high school and university students without any fundamental socialist knowledge; they were minority groups confronting a power structure known as the state, and they were disbanded, and many groups vanished from the face of the earth.

    The Socialist Party has not turned Marx, Engels, and socialism into a god that can not be questioned; we have a critical view about socialism/communism and Marx and Engels and our own organisation, and members are allowed to raise criticism on the organisation, even more, we have said that without Marx and Engels we could have created our own conception of socialism.

    Those who are saying that we are a sect it is because we do not follow their uncritical point of view, and we do not follow their religion, their churches and their god, and we do not make an alliance with them.  We can publish articles proving that Lenin and the Bolsheviks’ revolution was a failure, and they, without reading it and without questioning it, have rejected them; we do not do that; we publish and read some of their failures, and we take positive and negative points of view about their conceptions, and we accept whatever is correct.

    This is a better definition of what fascism really was.

    Fascism: Avoiding Anachronism

    It is a form, or a management style, adapted by capitalism in Italy and Germany, but those Leninist groups of all stripes think that fascism is something that can be installed by a leader, or that war is the only characteristic that distinguishes fascism; the main characteristic is extreme nationalism.

    The main problem of our world is not fascism, and it was not before, WW2, during WW2 and after the war, and it is not now either, because it does not exist. The real problem is capitalism; they call themselves socialists, but their struggle is not against capitalism but toward reformism.

    They think that by removing a leader, the problems can be resolved, and leaders are being removed all the time, and capitalism has not been replaced, yet.t

    Capitalist wars and authoritarian governments existed before fascism and nazism, and several of them were supported by the Soviet Union and the Leninists. And most Leninists and the so-called anti fascists figures supported the dictatorship of one single party and state capitalism, and they also provided economic and political support to Nazism.

    There are authoritarian governments around the world, but they are not fascists, and some authoritarian governments have been replaced through the election system.

    The main obsession is because authoritarian groups are right-wingers, but leftwing groups and government are authoritarians too, and they have also been replaced by workers.

    The Neo nazis in the USA are small groups of poor workers who can not even pay their rent, and most of them live in poverty, and they are minor groups who do not even know the history of real fascism and nazism.

    The real Nazis had a lot of economic power, scientific knowledge and their system produced great benefits for the German, British, French and US capitalist class, and they also wanted to expand themselves like the other capitalist blocs, and that was the main objective of the war against them, and the pretext was the fight against Nazism .

    The soviet union wanted to be part of the Axis along with Germany, Italy, and Japan, and the orthodox church supported the soviet government . Later, they aligned themselves with the Allies,

    There is a new election tactic known as post fascism invented by the South American leftists, and the same anti fascist made alliances with the right wingers

    The WSWS site is run by one of the Trotskyist sects which have decided not to “enter” the new party — the Socialist Equality Party, one of the relics of the old WRP.
    ———————————–

    There are Trotskyist sects all over the world, and the SEP is also in the USA, competing with the Republican and Democratic parties. They do not have any branches in China, but they have in Hong Kong; they do not have any in Cuba, but one member of the Central Committee of the CPC was a Trotskyist. They have not entered the New Party because they have not found any benefits for themselves

    Another leftwing organisation responding to Your Party (UK). They want to replace one reformist party with another reformist political party.

    They are proposing Trotskyism, which is even worse, and it is similar to Stalinism, Leninism and all its variants, proven to be a total failure like the Social Democracy. The only real alternative to socialism in England and around the whole world is the World Socialist Movement/ Socialist Party

    The US press wants to present this election as a great victory and a landslide for Milei and his party, but it is not; There was a very low participation of the voting population, only 65% considered as one of the lowest in the history of Argentina, and Milei only obtained 39.5% and the peronista opposition obtained 29.6%

    https://buenosairesherald.com/world/international-relations/trump-congratulates-milei-on-landslide-victory-in-argentinas-midterms. It is not a landslide. A 39% from a participation of 66%, considered as the lowest one in the history of Argentina, is not a landslide, and the Peronistas obtained a second place, and there were several other political parties who also obtained many votes. It is not like in the USA, where only two political parties participated in the election process.

    And the victory was produced because of the monetary sway that the government signed with the USA before the election. There were predictions before the swap that there was a tie or that the opposition was going to win

    How does the US-Argentina currency swap work?

    How does the US-Argentina currency swap work?

    Debt, aid, a bailout? What you need to know about the US$20 billion deal between Buenos Aires and Washington, DC
    What is a currency swap?

    A currency swap is when two countries agree to exchange sums of their currencies. Once the swap is agreed, the country has to “activate” the swap to draw on the funds. When it receives the money, it can use it freely, although it is typically spent on imports from the other country in the deal, or to pay debt.

    President Milei has explained the agreement, saying: “We have US$20 billion of credit, and they have credit equal to that number in pesos. It is only activated when needed.”

    This means the U.S. Treasury commits to deposit the money in Argentina’s Central Bank, and Argentina does the same with pesos — but they don’t actually make the payments until the swap is activated.

    The swap becomes active when one of the countries decides to use the money. Once that happens, it becomes part of the country’s international reserves.

    The country activating the swap does not necessarily activate the full amount in one go.

    Milei is winning the midterm elections in Argentina

    BUENOS AIRES, Oct 26 (Reuters) – Argentine President Javier Milei’s party cruised to victory in midterm legislative elections as voters handed him a mandate to keep pushing through his radical overhaul of the economy despite widespread discontent with his deep austerity measures.
    A relief to Milei, whose poll numbers had sagged in recent weeks, the results are also likely to please U.S. President Donald Trump, whose administration had faced criticism after providing Argentina with a hefty financial bailout

    It is another scenario like Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. It can create a revolt in a whole region, and many guerrilla groups and militias can be reactivated. It is a region surrounded by mountains and jungles, and those armed groups know how to survive in that type of environment.

    It might become a good weapons market for China and Russia, similar to the war in Central America against the Nicaraguan Contras, the Condor operation and the death squads, and all of them were defeated.

    The pretext this time is drug trafficking and the drug cartels ( before it was the fight against communism ), but they have existed for many decades, and the agencies against drug trafficking are also part of the same business, and they share the profits. Hundreds of books with solid evidence have been written about that capitalist business.

    Jesús Esquivel’s book La CIA, Camarena and Caro Quintero details with extensive evidence how the CIA helped finance Mexico’s first major drug cartel, the Guadalajara cartel, facilitating its alliance with Colombian narco-traffickers, as Mexican kingpin Caro Quintero trained Contra combatants at his ranch in Veracruz.

    When Rumsfeld went to Central America, he asked all governments to disarm themselves, but they were already disarmed; they only had old Soviet armaments, and they did not have any parts or screws to fix them, like Iraq had a cemetery of MiG planes. Like Castro said: The USA want all countries in Latin America to own machetes, mochas and kitchen knives.

    All those gangs that exist in Haiti were part of the Tonton Macoute, paramilitary groups organised by the USA during the government of Duvalier, and now they are out of control and involved in drug and weapons trafficking and the assassination of presidents and state ministers.

    The Russians are not foolish to give the USA the best part of the cake, and they have access to the seas for their naval fleet and minerals from Ukraine, so practically, that proxy war is lost. At the beginning, the Russians were weakened, but now they are stronger.

    The old days of kicking ass are gone; the USA does not have the muscle to twist the arm of Russia. They have a powerful professional army, but it has been defeated several times by unprofessional armies and guerrilla fighters.s

    Donald Trump promised to obtain peace in 24 hours, and millions of people believed that lie without knowing that capitalist wars are controlled by the capitalist market, and governments can only control the supply of weapons.

    It has been proven that he is a lousy negotiator, and he is trying to use a gangster’s tactic for this conflict, but it does not work, like David Niven said in the Pink Panther movie: “You can not bullshit a bullshitter,” and Putin was a colonel of the KGB, and he is a member of the Russian oligarchy class

    Donald Trump might be a strong president, but for the Russian oligarchy, he is a paper tiger, a term coined by Mao Zedong
