Getting arrested for trying to maintain due process in the face of ICE arresting people in courtrooms is a pretty big deal. How long until there is a shoot out in a courtroom between ICE and court officers at this rate?

There is a reason why this has been developed by a socialist country. I'll leave you to figure that one out.

making the perfect the enemy of the good

this is you rn

socialism >> communism is a evolving process, but every time it starts growing and developing, capital asserts itself to dominate and destroy it

the only Actually Existing Socialisms today have nuclear deterrents to avoid this fate, they also have to develop counter-intelligence defenses because just nuclear weapons are not enough to protect from all the myriad threats that capital engages in towards anti-socialist >> anti-communist goals

if you can not understand this material reality of history, and use it to analyze the struggle for liberation in this world, you are lost

According to American ethnographer and Professor of Russian and East European Studies at the University of Pennsylvania Kristen Ghodsee, efforts to institutionalize the "double genocide thesis", or the moral equivalence between the Nazi Holocaust (race murder) and the victims of communism (class murder), in particular the push at the beginning of the 2007–2008 financial crisis for commemoration of the latter in Europe, can be seen as the response by economic and political elites to fears of a leftist resurgence in the face of devastated economies and extreme social inequalities in both the Eastern and Western worlds as the result of the excesses of neoliberal capitalism. She says that any discussion of the achievements by Communist states, including literacy, education, women's rights, and social security is usually silenced, and any discourse on the subject of communism is focused almost exclusively on Joseph Stalin's crimes and the "double genocide thesis", an intellectual paradigm summed up as such: "1) any move towards redistribution and away from a completely free market is seen as communist; 2) anything communist inevitably leads to class murder; and 3) class murder is the moral equivalent of the Holocaust." By linking all leftist and socialist ideals to the excesses of Stalinism, Ghodsee posits that the elites hope to discredit and marginalize all political ideologies that could "threaten the primacy of private property and free markets".

Science shows that humans as a species have been able to develop and thrive due to cooperative pro social instincts. This has been proven in studies of children. Our greed driven society beats this inherent impulse out of people to 'prepare them'.

It's either socialism or barbarism. That's why we are back here again.

Thanks!

this was specifically an exercise in trying to be extremely concise along the lines of something like E = MC^2

By 1998, Radio Free Asia had launched a Uyghur Service where Abbas became the first Uyghur reporter broadcasting on Xinjiang. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Free_Asia

In 2017, Abbas founded Campaign for Uyghurs. The non-profit is based in Washington, DC, and is used to organize internationally for the rights of Uyghur people. The primary focus of the organization are the ongoing crimes against humanity in China.

Multiple Congress people in DC are also listed: Tom Suozzi of New York and Chris Smith of New Jersey, Marco Rubio. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rushan_Abbas#Campaign_for_Uyghurs

What's Marco Rubio up to at the moment?
