Direct Democracy: The Living “Outside” of Parliamentary Democracy
Radical critique of parliamentary democracy is not just theoretical-it takes shape in direct democracy, from Athenian demes to communes, soviets, the Zapatistas, and Rojava. The left (against the established power) embodies this living “outside,” grounded in self-organization, deliberation, and collective action. #Rojava #Zapatistas #DirectDemocracy #SelfOrganization #Soviets…
Démocratie directe : le « dehors » vivant de la démocratie parlementaire
La critique radicale de la démocratie parlementaire n’est pas qu’un geste théorique : elle s’incarne dans la démocratie directe, des dèmes athéniens aux communes, soviets, Zapatistes ou Rojava. La gauche (contre le pouvoir établi) porte ce « dehors » vivant, fondé sur l’auto-organisation, la délibération et l’action collective. #DémocratieDirecte #Commune #Rojava #Zapatistes #Soviets La critique…
La mégamachine thanatique : chronologie d’un asservissement et brèches pour l’émancipation
Toute « démocratie » sans participation directe n’est qu’une oligarchie masquée ! De Proudhon à Weil et Arendt, la critique est claire : la représentation confisque la souveraineté populaire. Il est temps de renouer avec la démocratie directe et les brèches historiques du double pouvoir.

Ancient tools forged by the wisest ancients to fight fascism
They tell you the #Soviets raped & pillaged their way to #Berlin to distract you from the fact that it was the #communists who did most of the fighting—& dying—to defeat fascism in #Europe.
Interesting how they never mention the #Nazis burning down whole villages.
Let me ask it this way: if Red Don isn't a #Russian agent, why is he trying so hard to destroy the #Constitution and our #democratic institutions? He's done more damage to this country in 2 months than the #Soviets managed to accomplish in the entire #ColdWar.
He's #Putin's wet dream, his bitch, his stooge. With all the evidence of coordination with #Russia from his first campaign and term, the conclusion seems obvious: #President Fragile Ego Tinyhands is Putin's puppet.
#Russian #antisemitism runs DEEP. The “Protocols of the Elders of #Zion,” a fabricated #antisemitic text, was promoted by the Russian Empire and later weaponized by the #Soviets. Today, state media still regularly peddles #antisemitic conspiracies.

In a nutshell, we are seriously fucking stupid with the #WarriorEthos bullshit from #Hegseth. Hey motherfucker we #Lose a lot of #Wars.
We bankrolled the fuck out of #WW2, #Soviets and #Britain lost more and fought harder.
#Vietnam lost 8 years
#OIF lost 8 years
#OEf lost 20 years
80 years of loss to tiny shit countries, never learned how to win a #ProtractedInsurgency.
I wonder which kind of brain twisting those #MAGA|s are doing who have the #Reagen era still in mind. #ReaganDoctrine. A time where the radical islamstic #Mujahideen were supported against #Soviets. And now they are not supporting a democratic country against the the attacks (contrary to international law) of #Russia?
The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact may have been a big FUCK OFF to the #Brits, #French, and #Polish who thought they could play with the freedom of the #USSR, but at the same time it was also a way for the #Soviets to buy time, to boost their war production, and to move it deep to the - inaccessible to Nazi attacks- East.
Now draw your own parallels with the current "peace talks" situation.
Keep in mind that the Russians are geniuses at history lessons, while the #US is completely ignorant

ready for a small #ww2 #nazi #Germany #history lesson?
1. #fascism is simply the CONCENTRATION AND ABUSE OF POWER IN THE HAND OF A FEW #UNELECTED #ANTIDEMOCRATS (it usually ends in #catastrophe)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces
2. this #bs #historian https://youtu.be/kbWLE07NGcw?t=402 says #god was killed by the #nietzsche and the #bolshevik (the #communists #commies #soviets) and thus the so well educated #civilized #Germany did the #holocaust (ok does not make sense but well!?)
no the reason is much simpler, #Germany had SEVERE #economic problems and 1929 #stockmarket crash #USA demanding all loans back from #Germany made it worse + a (#money) #corrupted #Democracy (yes it happened before) destroyed a lot of #trust of the people
in #economic (!) desperation (and possibly other problems) they voted for #extremists as a kind of last resort (stupid) idea to fix things and in the beginning #Hitler did fix some things like #unemployment and #hunger in the #cities, but of course the #madmen had bigger goals, like rule the planet, no matter if he killed everyone in the process
also it seems like powerful elites in the #West #USA feared #communism and the nationalization of assets as #realestate and #factories, so these #elites welcomed a #radical #Germany that would fight #communism = the enemy of the rich to death (and they believed their #Hitler and did and died, #German soldiers that survived LITERATELY stated that they were not fighting the #Russian population but #communism !!! )
check this out: "So there are a lot of #American #elites who were involved in helping #finance and helping rearm and helping rebuild the #German #economy during this period. It’s a shameful episode. Oliver and I go into it in some depth in the documentary Untold History and the book of Untold History because we think it’s a very important story that gets swept under the carpet when we’re talking about these people being the greatest generation. A lot of those folks who we call the ‘greatest generation’ were #Nazi enablers, and many of them saw the #Nazis as a #bulwark against #Bolshevism, as against #communism, and were therefore happy and willing to support and allow and tolerate and turn a blind eye to the rearmament of Germany during this time, because they saw the Nazis as the way to stop the #Communists and the #SovietUnion”
Among those who explicitly stated that was Senator #HarryTruman, who on the floor of the Senate said if the #Germans are winning we support the #Russians, and if the #Russians are winning we support the #Germans. And that way let them kill as many of each other as possible. That was not #Roosevelt’s attitude."

It’s Paul Henderson’s birthday, and as a fan of international sport of #IceHockey, I’m reminded to thank the #Soviets for the skills and development they introduced. The #72Series was a wake up call for #Canada. Without it, we’d still be stuck in the knuckle-dragging Stone Age of Old Time #Hockey

>> we made a mistake protecting the #USSR from the #ThirdReich and should have just continued on from Berlin to Moscow in order to help rid the world of more fascists
After #Germany was defeated, the #UnitedStates still needed the help of #Soviets to fight #Japan in the East, as discussed at #Yalta in Crimea.
It was only later that the development of Atomic Bomb allowed #Truman to give a unilateral ultimatum to #Japan at #Potsdam in occupied Germany, while USSR was still neutral
Werner Wächter was called Göbbels's right-hand man
He was captured by the #Soviets in 1945 September and supposedly executed in 1946 August.
A week ago, part of his documents were declassified and the surprise was that it could be read that the Nazis anticipated having acquired the capacity to strike the #SovietUnion with #Nuke in 1945 June.
#Nazi #Germany surrendered in 1945 May.
