Interesting to see how this other post(https://lemmygrad.ml/post/7533280) largely confirms the data and graphics from visualcapitalist.

It is true that people are scared of AI but that sentiment should move everyone to organize against the capitalists who are using this tool to harm others.

Thanks for being so thorough! From my side, I apologize if I appeared insensitive and rude.

Sadly, there have been a lot of left anti communists readily attacking anti imperialist countries like Venezuela/Cuba and resistance movements in ill times(example of this behavior can be found in the fractured piece of the PCV in Venezuela that called for joining hands with the fascists such as Maria Corina Machado). The objective of these left comm groups is well known and it is just to disrupt and weaken the solidarity of the groups opposing the imperialists.

Once again, thanks for explaining your position. I really hope that ecuadorians could best this horrible situation shoved into them.

It took them long enough

Although I haven’t heard of these accusations before from my sources, it is valid criticism.

However, why do the criticism now when the imperialist siege in Ecuador is ongoing? Could you help me clarify what is your position here and what are you looking for in Ecuador?

Luisa Gonzalez denounce fraud and she has plenty of reasons to. The Antifascist org also submitted a letter about this:

On the contrary, I am actually appealing to all of you to not be idealist and trying to be as clear as possible. To practice our ideals, we need to build the base first.

Blaming countries from the global south and conflating trading with “aiding” the genociders is wrong and manipulative from you.

Stopping trade with the colonial entity is not easy. It requires decoupling from the USA and their European lapdogs(same lapdogs that are openly receiving Netanyahu all around Europe) and building solid alternatives that will not jeopardize development.

One way to understand this clearer is to investigate USA’s Anti-BDS laws and how it affects Global South countries‌ seeking to reduce trade with Israel.

The U.S. Anti-BDS framework creates a ‌structural imbalance‌, where Global South countries must weigh domestic or moral priorities against the risk of U.S. retaliation. While these laws do not outright ban trade reductions with Israel, they weaponize economic interdependence to suppress dissent, reinforcing Israel’s geopolitical insulation. This dynamic underscores the broader tension between U.S. hegemony and Global South efforts to pursue independent, ethics-driven foreign policies.

Simple example of this dynamic:

• A Kenyan agricultural exporter using U.S. financial systems might avoid boycotting Israeli goods for fear of losing access to U.S. markets or banking.

• South African retailers might avoid delisting Israeli products to maintain relationships with U.S. suppliers.

• ‌Malaysia‌: Resisted U.S. pressure to establish diplomatic ties with Israel but faces hurdles in accessing U.S. investment.

I see perfectly clear that this is a good comparison. Maybe, people here in Lemmygrad or the West haven’t yet heard what our president Sheinbaum, our economists or the russians/chinese economists have constantly discussed recently but we do have options. Plenty of options… If you want to read more about this, check my mexican gov’t recent plan and read about the economists from UNAM -> https://www.gaceta.unam.mx/mexico-debe-diversificar-su-comercio-hacia-america-latina-y-los-brics/

That’s the plan with our government which is to diversify our manufacturing industry to the South of Mexico and to sell to Asia as well. If you are not aware about our options from a material standpoint, then I can understand why you will end up concluding that this is a bad comparison. However, I respectfully invite you to inform yourself.

Now, with that out of the way, ask yourself WHY the global south haven’t been able to diversify away from colonial entity and the USA? The answer lies on how the parasitic West embeds itself in trade and puts in plenty of mechanisms to avoid decoupling. A simple example is to examine the Free trade agreements that the US currently has and how it punishes non alignment. Also, you need to factor in the pro-western elements that are embedded in our gov’t and the private sector(USAID). All of these malicious elements are getting slowly purged and are actively losing power as of recently which allows us breathing room to make urgent changes as diversification.

To practice our ideals and to isolate the West and the entity, countries in the Global South need to build solid alternatives that will not jeopardize their development. Idealism doesn’t get us anywhere and material analysis is needed to properly asses these situations.

If trading is the same as aiding a genocide, then we can stretch that logic to plenty of other situations as well:

• Why should my country Mexico keep trading with the scummy USA that funds paramilitary groups that exterminate, rape and commit plenty of heinous acts?

• Why should Africa keep trading with Europe if europeans are arming fascistic militias that are actively raping, murdering, and committing genocide?

• Why should the global south keep trading with the USA if the USA is a fascists scummy country that continues to fuel genocide and death around the world?

By your logic, we are all aiding genocide same as the USA. We are all as despicable as the kid killers of the entity and their weapons suppliers of USA.

I was about to write this too lol! 😅

Also, the whole global should stop trading with Europe or Latin America should have stopped trading with the genocide apologetic Spain. China and Vietnam should also stop trading with the Japanese

For me, aiding is what the gringos are currently doing which is deliverying all of the weaponry, ammunitions, intelligence, and media backing.

I wouldn’t call Vietnam trading with the colonial entity as “aiding”. Yes, the ideal is to shut every connection with the entity. However, aiding sounds as if Vietnam is doing equal damage as the Americans. It is false and kind of malicious to conclude that Vietnam is impacting negatively as the USA on Palestine.

“This could potentially lead to a gradual erosion of the effectiveness of international sanctions against North Korea and Russia.”

And that person hasn’t come back. Very interesting 🤔

I wonder if this type of cases are going to pile up going forward.

Yeah, and I really hope he changed his views on the SDF viewing all of these evidence now.

Let’s hope for the best!

It is good that they are getting organized and fighting the HTS terrorists. And yeah, you are right about the reporting and how western news media group every dissident into the same basket. However, if we go beyond the news, it is good that people are fighting back against the fascists HTS. Also not sure if you also seen this letter:

Statement by the ‘Military Council for the Liberation of Syria’

The Military Council for the Liberation of Syria is hereby established, following months of injustice, sectarian violence, looting, oppression and the seizure of Syrian land by external aggressors.

The Military Council for the Liberation of Syria has the following goals:

1. Liberating all Syrian territory from occupiers and terrorist forces.

2. Overthrowing the HTS regime and ‘dismantling its oppressive sectarian apparatus’.

3. Protecting the lives and properties of all Syrians.

4. Rebuilding state institutions on national and democratic foundations.

5. Preparing for the return of refugees.

6. Establishing a unified, sovereign state consisting of all sects and ethnicities.

and it is wilder by the day. However, there appears to be organization in the case of Latakia and Tartous.

Reports coming out of Syria are wilder by the day, comrade 😞 Also, something big is happening in Latakia and Tartous from this report of Middle-East-Spectator.
