So here we have retired US diplomat, Robert Ford, admitting that he and British MI6 helped in the rebranding of Syria's current president, Abu Mohammad al-Julani, who was a former terrorist and headchopper for ISIS. The CIA and MI6 shaved al-Julani's beard, and rehabilitated him into a president.

What does it mean to be Marxist?
It means always being on the side of wage earners.
Its means wanting to see wage earners work together to run the economy democratically by collectively owning their work and ending their exploitation.
Political democracy without economic democracy is meaningless

So it's an oxymoron to claim to be a "progressive" and be pro capitalist. It's like claiming to be a progressive nazi or progressive zionist. That's just absurd and idiotic. By being pro capitalist, you're a rightwing nut. Also, liberalism and conservatism are both rightwing ideologies.

Hello westerners,
Hard reminder that you cannot be a "progressive" and be pro capitalist. Capitalism is a rightwing ideology and economic system. Capitalism CANNOT succeed without white supremacy, imperialism, and colonialism. Capitalism literally needs all of the aforementioned to SUCCEED!

In a nutshell, this is it. They will try to destroy any leftist takeover, like they did with Bernie, even if this means more power to the GOP. *Nothing* that Trump has done (ICE, Cecot, tariffs, USAID, frivolous prosecutions of Trump oponents, even the murder of the Hortmans) matters to them.
Schumer and his friends want Trump to have power because they hate you. They are furious Mamdani won in a landslide and are afraid of repeats all over the country. Their solution is open capitulation to the far right.
