Corbyn is a good socdem, but he is too nice to be effective in bourgeois politics, the bourgeois will use all its tools to attack him, and he'll try to be conciliatory.

Anything small is cheaper on aliexpress. Large heavy items, shipping will be high, so you can probably buy large/heavy items cheaper locally, since they will order in bulk. I bought a Lenova tablet off aliexpress, that was over $100 cheaper than buying the same model/specs off bestbuy.

The US political class knows the heavy Saudi involvement, but everyone has to kiss the Saudi's ass.

Even the Saudi's hubris let's slip sometimes, like when Saudi and Canada had a little spat, one of hte Saudi orgs tweeted a pic of a plane flying towards the CN tower:

people forget that he was a big lib when Yugoslavia fell, I think he just found his edgy niche in being a contrarian "communist" afterwards.

He was always shit for me, don't know why so many communists liked him? Was it his edgy takes on pop culture? Pic of him with a Stalin portrait behind him? He was already a big lib when Yugoslavia ended, but did you all miss his take when Fidel died? He went on RT and said Fidel should be forgotten because the Cuban Revolution accomplished nothing. An Ivory tower academic calling one of the greatest Revolutionaries a failure. Glad this Ukraine War has exposed his true form.

Always knew she was left, and she did work with Utah Phillips (anarchist?) , but during Obama's first term, I remember reading an interview she did with some left media, she gave the cringest lib Obama apologist answers that I stopped following her stuff.

not a big comic book reader, but the few that I wanted, I was able to find them on https://getcomics.org

They are just jpgs compressed in .cbr (rar or zip) files, so I just unpack and treat them like jpgs.

I watched Paul Jay's Reality Asserts Itself series of interviews with Finkelstein, and they talked about Finkelstein's die hard Maoist youth, with a funny episode about cops going to Finkelstein's house and seeing a bunch of Maoist posters in his room, his mom quickly told the police that Finkelstein liked Chinese people lol. After the death of Mao, the arrest of the Gang of Four, and Deng's reforms, Finkelstein drifted away from Maoism and pretty much Leninism. One of his profs (maybe a lib I don't remember) told Finkelstein that there will be a McDonald's in China soon when Deng opened up. Now if China nationalizes McD's, is that the CPC's turn back towards Socialism? lol
