Italy looks to have elected its first female PM - and second fascist one
Exit polls have Meloni's coalition to have 45% of the vote. The imperial core is falling to fascism left, right and centre. Well, right and centre anyway. If we want a revolution we must hurry - I fear it may soon be too late to hold our ground against the fascists.
On "respecting the dead"
Respect must be earned. This is not ridiculous. There are many qualities that will earn you respect. Simply being dead is not one of them.
And yes, this is a rant about libs defending the Queen.

In what ways have workers participated in the governance of past and current Socialist states?
Where could I find out more about Cybersyn? I have been trying but I havn't been able to find any resources on it.
It is manufactured consent failing spectacularly. The US gas been gearing up for war, but China has just refused to engage. So you end up with the comucal situation of the US trying to provoke China and China itself not giving a fuck. As so preparations towards war continues in the absence of war itself. This includes endless China bad/failing stories as part of manufactured consent.
I get your point, but I also feel like that is false equivalency. Puerto Rico is illegally occupied by a colonial US and wants independent. Taiwan is legally claimed by China in a way that is internationally recognised under the UN Resolution 2758, and both Taiwan and China claim to be the only China as per the One-China agreement signed by Mao and Chiang Kai Shek which, contrary to the Western narrative, was bilateral. Taiwan does not claim independence, it claims to be China. Taiwan, under the same UN resolution, is an illegal state. A PRC/CPC delegation visit to Puerto Rico would be ligitimate and only a minor offence - if it is an offence at all to support and oppressed people - in the eyes of international law and morality. The US's current war mongering is one of the most flagrant breaches of international law and human decency since the second Iraq War. Which, coincidentally, was also America-led.
They just don't learn, do they!

By this point they are willing to let the world burn rather than to bid goodbye and good riddance to the Ukronazis, accept their defeat, and admit that they wrong about Ukraine.
It sounds like he actively sided with Mao after the Sino-Soviet split - I didnt realise he was so based!
Who would you have had suceed Stalin?

You forgot the third comically long tank Edit: maybe not comically long, but still... long enough.
To join Stalin's comically large spoon... I present Putin's comically long tank!
The sheer level of projection coming from the White House
'Oh God - they're multiplying' - some US official at seeing the rise of global communism during the cold war, probably.
Even though they try and make fun of russia, the US still manages to lose ships even when they are not at war
And they claim they need to be oppressed by the north Korean government to stop them leaving the dprk when ths South Korean culture seems to be doing all of the heavy lifting. Sometimes propaganda just starts disproving itself...
