Will someone please educate #Trump on the difference between a #Marxist and a #fascist? 🤦🏼‍♀️

He can’t even correctly define who his enemies are.

The U.S.government isn’t run by #communists, Mr. President. It is run by #Nazis.

Let’s be real clear about that!
#CanYouPleaseQuit referring to actual #Nazis as #communists.

Commies tend to take offense when you confuse them with their historical mortal enemy!
With all due respect Mr. President, #communists make great allies. (Ever studied WW II?)

Making them your enemy never ends well. (Also see WW II) 📚
Before you chime in and say “but #Russians aren’t #communists anymore,” this poll (and many other polls) say otherwise.
I guess #Trump hasn’t heard of #MAGACommunism yet. 😂

origins of American #China-phobia:

In the late 19th/early 20th Century, upper class white women often went “slumming” in their local Chinatown district, and visited opium dens run by Chinese Americans.

Their husbands organized vigilante gangs to raid the Chinese districts.
The typical white supremacist attitudes of the times assumed that the Chinese people were all drug addicts and ruthless rapists, who were taking advantage of white womanhood and selling their customers into “white slavery.”

From 1905 San Francisco:

In truth, Opium dens and laundries were about the only types of businesses Chinese entrepreneurs were allowed to operate.

They were far more interested in making money through commerce than harming their customers.

Yet, such racist tropes and anti-Chinese violence persisted.

Remember that time we phonied up some “war crimes” charges against a former #communist leader at the ICC, then Epsteined him in his jail cell?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

#ICC #Putin #Russia #Kosovo #Serbia #Molosevic #Clinton #ProsecuteBush en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slobodan_…
Just to refresh your memory, Molosevic died under mysterious circumstances during his ICC trial, because the trial wasn’t going so well for prosecutors.

Lack of evidence was proving problematic…
10 years after his death in prison, the ICC quietly acknowledged that Molosevic was INNOCENT!

Even now, many pages in the history of the Soviet Union remain a mystery.

Documents released shortly before the dissolution of the #USSR confirmed that many of its statesmen, politicians, diplomats, as well as military and intelligence officers, had been born in #Ukraine. Image
In the very first years of the Soviet Union’s existence, Ukrainian Bolsheviks played an important role in building what became the world's largest ever state.

They engaged in the ‘Ukrainization’ that aimed to replace Russian language and culture there during the #Stalin years.
Soviet policy allowed the Ukrainian SSR to become a fairly independent entity. Moreover, many Party officials from Ukraine held key positions in the USSR right up until its collapse.

This thread seeks to explore what influence Ukrainians had on the Soviet Union’s development.

Although foreign movies were censored in the #USSR, Josef #Stalin was known to love American cinema — especially cowboy Westerns — which he screened in his private theatre.

His favorite actor? John Wayne.

Here’s Stalin’s Top 5 Hollywood films 🎥: rbth.com/history/329891…
Even more than westerns, #Stalin loved movies about #Tarzan, which came to #Russia after the war as part of the so-called “trophy movies” – copies of over 17,000 movies stored in the Third Reich’s vaults.
Stalin wrote that:

“Tarzan… is a movie about a man that escapes the horrors of the capitalist world by fleeing to the jungle, where he finds freedom and happiness.”

On this 70th anniversary Soviet leader Josef #Stalin’s death, this documentary attempts to answer the question we’ve been asking since 1953:

Who Killed Stalin? 🤔

The most likely suspect was Lavrentiy Beria, longtime chief of #Stalin’s secret police.

After Stalin’s death, his eventual successor Nikita #Khrushchev did not charge Beria with the murder; rather, of being a traitor and spy in the pay of British intelligence! 🤨
Beria was convicted and executed in Dec. 1953.

At Beria's trial, it became known that he had committed numerous brutal rapes during the years he was NKVD chief.

Beria’s reputation as a serial rapist evidently became known to Stalin, who was increasingly distrustful of him.

I’ve wanted ⁦@RobertKennedyJr⁩ to run for president since 2006.

The time wasn’t right then. His kids weren’t grown yet; his wife didn’t approve.

Now, that coast is clear.

#RFKJr says he’s seriously considering challenging Joe #Biden in 2024. wmur.com/article/robert…
that’s the good news. 👍

The bad news is, he plans to seek the Democratic Party nomination.

The DNC will Bernie this guy so hard… 😬

Even a Kennedy isn’t welcome in the DNC anymore. And especially not *this* Kennedy.

Hope he reconsiders and runs Independent instead.
Sadly, #RFKJr doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in the DNC.

A third-party or Independent ticket with @TulsiGabbard or @jimmy_dore?

Now you’re talking… 🗳
