Are you really saying “give the dem-soc a chance”?
Unless you are yourself living in [country]
haven’t we seen this line enough from coup supporters to know it is cringe? We use Historical materialism not “lived experience.” Time will tell but Sheinbaum’s track record is spotty at best.
Mexico introduced 50% tariffs in December.

Just more narrative flailing. They are throwing all these lies hoping that some of them stick to justify their actions but none of them will.
That isn’t a change. They’ve been selling the usa oil for decades.
Funny… there’s no mention of drugs.
I’m sure he would get a cushy job that gets him a cut of the oil money if they managed to topple Chavismo. But they didn’t and won’t so he’s probably just glad that nobody is blaming him.
I knew it. the moment I heard him say she wouldn’t be president I knew it was because of the noble prize.
I’m sure they paid off some collaborators on the ground but probably not anyone of consequence.
They aren’t stupid they are just ideologues. They are the richest and most powerful people on earth and they got there because of their adherence to their nihilistic anti-morality. In their mind it is the only way anyone gains power.
They thought they could topple Putin because they believed their own bullshit about him being a ruthless assassin. They never considered that he actually cared about Russians. trump thought he could bribe Kim Jong Un into giving up his nukes because they believed their own lies that he was a sadistic monarch who tortures and starves people for fun (like they do).
They do have a lot of ways the can flex and most of them kill lots of people and their ability to throw money around is waning. They don’t have a third move because diplomacy requires looking at the other party as equal.
“This is your brain on Great Man theory.” Trump and co are all ayn rand style fascists. They have convinced themselves they are uber men who make the “hard decisions,” and that rules and law are made for untermench.
They think that Maduro is one of the uber men who thinks just like they do and if they bully him he’ll crack like they all would. They see a strong man and think if they take him out everything around him will devolve into a feeding frenzy because that is what they would do.
What they don’t understand is that they aren’t special. Maduro is strong because he helps his people be strong. trump and co are weak because they are all only looking out for themselves. Maduro has only one enemy, imperialism. trump and his kind have billions of enemies because in their mind everyone is waiting to stab them in the back and use their corpse to stand a few inches higher.
“I put the biggest armada ever in the Caribbean and all I got was a man in a blue sweatshirt”
This is such a pathetic and weak post. The us navy is so scared they have to shackle and blindfold him. What do they think, Maduro is gonna turn into Harrison Ford and “Airforce One” their fucking boat? They better keep him shackled if they know what is good for them.
Mexico just put tariffs on china to suck up to usa. Sheinbaum is nice and all but she is a dem-suc and will do exactly what Kautsky did, she’ll side with imperialists to protect the fatherland.
I hope usa becomes a graveyard for US soldiers. In my dream Russia gave Venezuela an oreshnik and they have targeted the Reddit astroturfing base in Florida.
Not likely. Russia and China can’t project power on the other side of the world and certainly not right next to usa.
And Iran’s nuclear program was “obliterated.”
I don’t read/hear a statement from Kallas every day but every time I do, it is in the running for the stupidest thing I have read/heard that day. The only thing she is good for is reminding me that my brain is not yet cured of the habit of thinking sexist slurs.
You could just say “years of ass kissing the imperial core.”
These are the words you used. If that isn’t what you meant I’m sorry for taking you at your word but I cant read your mind.
In a different setting I think it is fine to give critical support to Sheinbaum because she is much better than the alternatives. But this is Lemmygrad we don’t need to indulge in false hope that a bourgeoisie party will do anything other than capitulate to international capitalist interests.
Sheinbaum and her party are demsoc. Giving them a chance is giving demsocs a chance. She has been attempting to appease trump and expecting that to change is wishful thinking.
Next time you could just say “unless you have better information.” As historical materialists we need to not fall into the rhetorical trap of using “lived experience.” Its subjective, individualist and anecdotal. A maze is easier to solve from a above than from inside. It’s a bad line when they use it and it is just as bad for us.
