One of the members who skipped (anonymized):
They tried defending themselves on Twitter, saying they “didn’t feel comfortable” meeting the President. It’s no wonder why. I think all of the members who skipped are Miami gusanos part of the Trot/SAlt caucuses
Brody argues that, despite the substantive public investment, disclosing too many details about the city’s dealings with a developer could jeopardize the city’s ability to make deals with private businesses in the future.
“We’re looking at developers’ bank accounts,” he noted. “This allowed Mr. Paterakis to finance the project without revealing confidential information,” he said.
Still, Brody maintains the city had to assist Paterakis to mitigate the difficulties of building close to the water. Among the challenges he cited was the construction of a slurry wall to support bulkheads that now anchor the Four Seasons Hotel.
This is basically, the whole basis of Bourgeois Dictatorship.
Remember what else the state is doing to accelerate private interests: https://therealnews.com/baltimores-downward-spiral-of-poverty-disinvestment-and-over-policing
This type of “investment” is constantly occurring, it’s these cities trying to become “global cities”: settler outposts to attract the international bourgeoisie as a place to spend their blood money. Where do their “tourists” get their money? Exploiting their home countries through collaborating with Imperialism. These developments’ profit streams are through Gulf Oil money, Post-Soviet resources, and East Asian manufacturing giants, super exploited migrant labor, and African and American Indigenous semi-peasant exploitation. This is what “slum clearing” entails, make room for the bourgs. This is how all of the famous urban neighborhoods of Europe that all of these settler-cities aim to model were also made. US Imperialism is crystallizing itself into the built environment of the of the US and Canada.
Yes the article is incorrect and it seems a lot of reporting is playing it safe by using neutral pronouns, but I’ve heard passed on info that Nex preferred the masculine pronouns.
Edit:
Could come off as conflicting information, but it wouldn’t be unexpected that a young person would be still coming to understand their presentation in their environments
Nex used he/they pronouns according to his friends btw. JSYK when talking about this tragedy moving forward.
It’s China time, the Imperialists are done playing with Ukraine.
Might be true which is nice but could also be full cap and just a way for the colonizers to try and abuse China with more sanctions. The IOF is desperate since they are losing tanks faster than Ukraine did and refuse to have infantry support due to fear of mass casualties.
Not sure but it’s possibly a tactic as many of the tanks have a trophy system that can shoot down one rocket. If the second reaches the plates it blows a hole into the cabin and we’ve seen some pics of the mess that gets made inside.
Absolutely they are, all of the Resistance Brigades from Hamas to PFLP have been defeating ground incursions by the IOF, like, badly. They are masters of guerilla warfare with their tandem RPG rounds, taking out dozens of IOF armor per campaign. The Resistance posts videos daily basically: Example
These videos are so popular that the IOF has been making their own copies where they are killing windows and chairs
Yemen is literally blockading the colonists
Red Nation Rising: From Bordertown Violence to Native Liberation is a required reading for Chunka Luta Network. You can find it in the Chunka Luta Library: https://mega.nz/folder/cuMwjRyK#eDPayQSdYFwaCh9qr8zzPw/file/cvUg1BxR
This reading is required because we need every communist in North America to know the current violent conditions for native communities and individuals, as well as the structure of White Supremacist occupation.
It describes the overall process of what this is showing a slice of, ongoing genocide.
I’ll cross post but I do want this sub to be more useful as a space
Rickdabuffalo on Twitter if you go back enough talks about what happened. One of the reasons why was an attempted doxxing.
Right now Chunka Luta is fundraising to help organizers on the reservation to keep helping people and for a wheelchair of an organizer that insurance won’t cover: https://gofund.me/14c27f48
Following Leninist principles this organization wants to help organizers do the best work they can. There’s a lot to be built.
The contradictions of the Zionist occupation are collapsing under their own weight, 90% of settlers said they would not return to the captured settlements even if the war ended. Dual passport Zionists will just go home and millions more will ask for the passports of their parents’ and grandparents’ home countries. The myth of Zionism is that they can live peacefully in Zion, but this will never be the case.
Yes that org. Their only success is Sawant’s councilship in Seattle. Just another petty bourg “socialist” org.
