Every time I read news about Your Party, “Corbyn is actually an undercover agent of MI5 send to sabotage an entire generation of the British left” grows more and more convincing.

Activists on the ground have gone to the Points of Order Office (POO) to submit a point of order calling for a vote of no confidence in the chair.
Just shutting down Venezuelan airspace and shipping every few days is enough pressure necessary to… encourage some concessions.
This is incidentally the impact those naval drills have on Taiwan. Whenever those drills happen, Taiwan is forced to rely on their oil reserves and when you consider that Taiwan is almost completely reliant on imported energy, those naval drills are a lot more impactful than how they appear on the surface. They aren’t just drills.
0%. China always starts going off about Luuchuu sovereignty whenever Japan starts going off about Taiwanese separatism. But China doesn’t really support Luuchuu sovereignty just like Japan doesn’t really support Taiwanese separatism.
More like as soon as the US sees even the slightest movement towards Russia/China arming Venezuela with nukes, they will begin their invasion. It’s a little too late for “let’s give Venezuela nukes.”
Imam Jamil al-Amin is better known among Western leftists by his old name H. Rap Brown when he was the chairman of SNCC and briefly part of the BPP. He fell off their radar around the time when he converted to Islam, which I’m sure is just a coincidence and has no greater implications.

Statements from the A-APRP on the coup in Guinea Bissau. The tl;dr is that the coup is a fake coup because the current president doesn’t want to step down after losting the election and the military forces who instigated the coup are loyal to him anyways.

PRESS RELEASE
Urgent Message: Military Attempting To Stop Electoral Process In Guinea Bissau 11/26/2025
The West African Country of Guinea Bissau held presidential and legislative elections on Sunday 23rd of November, 2025. Prior to election day the illegally established Supreme Court disqualified the African Party of Independence of Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde (PAIGC) candidates by inventing the technicality that the PAIGC had not submitted its candidates before the due date. This illegal exclusion led the PAIGC to endorse the candidacy of Fernando Dias da Costa, Social Renewal Party (PRS) President and backed by the Inclusive Patriot Alliance (API) Big Calabash and the Terra Ranka Coalition led by Domingos Simões Pereira of the PAIGC.
Upon completion of voting, official reports to the Regional Electoral Commissions (CRE) from the 10 Regions indicate that Fernando Dias da Costa won the election with a confirmed vote tally of 54%, while Ebalo SIssoco, the illegitimate president seeking re-election, garnered 44% of the vote. These results were confirmed and signed today, 26 November and are due to be officially proclaimed on tomorrow, 27 November by the National Electoral Commission.
In an attempt to prevent the announcement of Sissoco’s defeat, military forces loyal to him attempted to invade several Regional Electoral Commissions (CRE) but were unable due to the Masses of People who surrounded the CRE Headquarters.
On 26 November, after Sissoco himself announced to several news outlets, such as Jeune Afrique, that he was the victim of a coup, the same group of soldiers loyal to Sissoco announced on National Television that they have “…taken Total Control of the Country…”. Shots have been fired in the streets of the Capitol City Bissau. Domingos Simões Pereira, President of the African Party of Independence of Guinea Bissau (PAIGC), and President of the National People’s Assembly (ANP) has been arrested by these same military forces loyal to Embalo Sissoco. Sissoco’s whereabouts remain unknown.
The All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (AAPRP) and our sister Party the PAIGC view these military actions as a futile attempt to keep Sissoco in power by pretending to be the victim of a military coup which Sissoco himself orchestrated after falsely proclaiming himself the winner of the elections. The revolting military forces intervened when both candidates claimed to win the election, causing a “crisis of uncertainty”. Their real intent is to prevent the proclamation of Fernando Dias da Costa and his PAIGC backers, the winners of Sunday’s election.
The A-APRP calls upon all international institutions, regional bodies, progressive and peace loving People, to join the masses of People in Guinea Bissau to demand:
The immediate release of Domingos Simões Pereira and all citizens that have been illegally detained That the military harm no one That all military troops return to the barracks That the electoral process be allowed to go forward with the official proclamation of the vote count and announcement of the winners of the Sunday’s elections.
We soundly condemn the desperate attempt by Sissoco and his imperialist masters to once again overthrow the popular will of the Guinean masses and thwart the sovereignty of Guinea Bissau.

STATEMENT
We condemn the fascist coup d’État led by Umaru Sissoko Embaló and demand the immediate release of Comrades Domingos Simões Pereira, PAIGC President, and Fernando Dias da Costa, President-Elect of Guinea-Bissau.
Since yesterday, 26 November 2025, a fascist scenario has unfolded — a self-coup orchestrated by Umaru Sissoko Embaló, who was overwhelmingly defeated at the polls. The very clear aim is to prevent the electoral body from announcing results that are unfavorable to this well-known agent of the neo-colonial system.
The blatant proof of this grotesque scheme is the arrest of our Brave and Fearless comrades Domingos Simões Pereira, President of the PAIGC (a member party of OPAO/WAPO), and President-Elect Fernando Dias da Costa.
Umaru Sissoko Embaló thus reveals himself once again as a habitual coup instigator and a fierce Enemy of Democracy, of the Sovereignty of the People, and of its Republican Institutions. Already in December 2023, he dissolved the democratically elected National People’s Assembly.
The West African Peoples Organization – WAPO (OPAO):
-
Demands the immediate release of Comrades Domingos Simões Pereira, PAIGC President, and Fernando Dias da Costa.
-
Demands the announcement of the results and the recognition of President-Elect Fernando Dias da Costa.
-
Congratulates the swift reaction of the patriotic organisations of Guinea-Conakry and Guinea-Bissau itself.
-
Calls on all WAPO sections to protest vigorously, in various ways, for the immediate release of the detained Comrades and for the proclamation of the results from the polls.

Could be a good cop-bad cop routine although I don’t know what they would be aiming for.

On the bright side I’m not invited to thanksgiving this year lol
He will be America’s Lenin. You’re seeing a lot of Hexbears coping because this place is too cynical/defeatist to take the W.
You really can’t say that the US left isn’t even at step 0 (true) and say that he’s the US’s Lenin. The US Lenin either hasn’t been born yet or is just a toddler at best. And Mamdani isn’t particularly young either. At his age, Mao was already in command of what would become the PLA and Castro had already overthrown Batista. Lenin himself was around Mamdani’s age right now when the 1905 Revolution happened. Mamdani’s a bit too old to have any serious political development outside of gradual shift over decades. What you see is what you get.
Currently, there’s no US equivalent of Lenin or the Bolsheviks. There’s no real US equivalent of the Narodniks either, which can’t be ignored either in understanding the Bolsheviks. The Narodniks failed so the Bolsheviks can succeed after all. People talk shit about the Narodniks for being adventurists, but the US left wishes they were half as effective as the Narodniks. Forget the Bolsheviks, the US left can’t even rise to the level of the Narodniks.
I think Palestine Action US and Lugi (allegedly) liquidating that CEO, while not being the US equivalent of Narodniks themselves, are glimmers of what US Narodniks would look like. There’s a difference between cowardly nerds who get social anxiety talking to strangers saying adventurism doesn’t work and ex-adventurists realizing after doing adventurism that adventurism doesn’t work. Direct political experience is needed to weed out the hacks and cowards from the principled and brave. With this crop of revolutionaries, a further crucible is needed to weed out people with terrible ideas (“Without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement.”). It’s from this crucible that a US Lenin would emerge from.

Interesting thread about a potential split in the Venezuela opposition:
https://xcancel.com/OllieVargas79/status/1992219728899981393🚨🧵There’s a serious split within the Venezuelan opposition and among US sponsors.
It’s a conflict between some 🇻🇪 political leaders who want to cancel Maduro era debt after invasion vs. US finance capital (bondholders) who want to start looting as soon as Maduro is gone. (1/6)
There are numerous US-based bondholders of 🇻🇪 debt who bought at big discounts and expect a Machado govt to honour it. Regime change would boost their bond values and allow them to cash in when state assets are “restructured” (sold off/looted).
The right-wing @HRF (attached to opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez) has started attacking these bondholders and claiming that the debt they hold is illegitimate (since it was issued under Maduro govt) and that it should be canceled post-war so the country can rebuild.
The Lopez faction is trying to frame the bondholders as “pro-Maduro” because they would lose more if debts were cancelled than if Maduro stays. But obviously, the real prize for bondholders is a Machado govt for full looting, they can’t touch state assets while Maduro stays.
Bondholders are hitting back at Lopez faction and calling them wreckers, because if financial interests are spooked by possible debt cancellation post-Maduro, then US capital will stop lobbying for regime change, meaning it won’t happen and Maduro stays.
Another piece of context is that Maria Corina Machado is an extremist to the right of the traditional opposition leadership around Lopez etc. She’s happy to let the country be gutted (I would say r*ped) by US finance capital, but not everyone in opposition is on board.
The easiest tell this wouldn’t amount to much is the US withdrawing weapons from Japan. Unless this itself is a feint by the US.
Venezuela is also massive compared with Panama.

14·14 days agoI’ve had a steam account before, it had hundreds of games that I’ve accumulated through years of Steam summer sales (probably hundreds upon hundreds of dollars in value in games alone). I decided to delete my steam account because I wasn’t comfortable having my entertainment outlet be under the whim of a company who represents everything I hate about the tech industry.
Fixed.
