Mexico has emerged as Cuba’s largest petroleum supplier after the US move and halt in Venezuelan supplies, accounting for approximately 44% of oil imports in 2025,

It’s not enough, but it’s not nothing

North Star (https://www.youtube.com/@NorthStar-Beichen) is a nice channel that covers Chinese history with the same entertaining style oversimplified has.

They don’t care if it’s an Islamic republic unless it goes against their imperial interests. I don’t hear them sparking color revolutions and uprisings, or even trying to invent reality for interventions in Dohran, Dubai, Riyadh etc.

The “Islam repressive to women and queers” shit is a “rules for thee and not for me”. The US and its allies are the ones oppressing minorities, trans, queers, woman, and the rest of their non-white straight cis male population in their countries, as well as abroad.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Ansarallah (Houthis) are all progressive and accepting, but most of the claims regarding this topic are straight-up wrong or overexaggerated, particularly the topic of Women, Iran, and Hezbollah, especially during and after Sayed Hassan Nasrallah’s (may he rest in peace) reforms . Not too knowledgeable about Ansarallah and Hamas’s positions on this to talk about them.

Most if not all countries where gay and women’s rights are lacking are a direct result of British and French colonialism. Before that, being queer or trans was in between the spectrum of celebrated, accepted, or frowned upon. It is the colonizers’ barbaric white supremacist culture that brought the rights issues of today that they point towards as a justification for their intervention, colonization, and imperialism.

This is amazing news!

I’m glad the fsf is actually taking it upon itself to create more solutions especially since it has become increasingly irrelevant throughout these years and sadly been replaced by the corporate “open source” hellscape.

The Lebanese Phalanges Party is a far-right Lebanese party inspired by the European fascist and fascist-style youth movements.

The party, alongside its allies, committed horrific tragedies against humanity. I’m a Lebanese Marxist-Lenninist with a strong understanding of my country’s history , so I will try to explain them.

They committed the Black Saturday massacre of 1975, fueling the Lebanese sectarian divide during and after the civil war in Lebanon by dozens to hundreds in response to the assassination of party leader and founder Pierre Gemayel.

They committed the Karantina massacre of January 1976, attacking the Karantine district of East Beirut and specifically killed Palestinians and Muslims. Estimates vary from hundreds to several-hundred killed.

Following the Karantine massacre, on January 1976, they massacred civilians in the coastal town of Damour, killing an estimated 500-1000 and displacing many, known as the Damour massacre.

In Augast of the same year, they seized the Tel al-Zaatar Palestinian refugee camp, tragically murdering thousands.

In June 1978, Tony Frangieh (former president’s son) was killed alongside many of his family.

Finally, there is the well-known Sabra and Shatila massacre of 16–18 September 1982, which doesn’t need an introduction. Another thing to note: the revolutionary Marxists of Lebanon, including Goerge Ibrahim Abdallah (https://yewtu.be/watch?v=aqJhFmjCs8k), were of the defenders of Sabra and Shatila. Foreign imperialist “peace-makers”, including France and The United States claimed they will defend the camps, but we all know how that turned out. Like how the UN withdraw from Rwanda following Belgian imperialist commands, they allowed crimes against humanity to happen and did nothing to try to stop it.

While many stop there, that is not the end of it. Many more horrors were committed against Palestinians refugees.

After the civil war, “temporary” sectarian divisions were placed for “peace”. The sectarian divisions still remain, the government is as corrupt as a government can be, and Lebanon is in ruins. Instead of solving injustices, the government is now concerned with disarming the party that has defended Lebanon from invasion since 1982.
