The German government has collapsed. The Social Democrats’ attempt to rescue German capital’s interests by reestablishing Germany as an imperialist force has been a catastrophe. Here is what the media will not tell you. 🧵

The German government has pushed the country into three wars—Ukraine, Palestine, and Lebanon. All are funded by taxpayers while public services deteriorate.

Germany is facing critical shortages: 183 occupations are in need of workers, thousands of doctors’ practices are closing, and hundreds of thousands of spaces are lacking in daycares. The national railway system is a national embarrassment due to widespread delays.

Germany’s economy has only gone from bad to worse. It is expected to contract in 2024 for the second consecutive year, largely driven by manufacturing struggles and fierce competition with other imperialist powers like China.

The education system in Germany is underfunded by €68 billion, according to the Education and Science Union (GEW). Education quality is plummeting, yet military spending continues to rise.

Trump has threatened to impose 10% tariffs on imports from Europe, a move that could further batter Germany’s already flailing economy.

Since October 7, Germany has seen ongoing weekly protests against the government's support for Israel’s genocide in Palestine and its brutal response to solidarity protests.

Germany is facing international condemnation stemming from potential genocide complicity charges and widespread criticism for its brutal crackdown on solidarity movements at home.

The government is alienating Germany’s Muslim, Arab, and Middle Eastern communities by deporting Afghans to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan and threatening to strip citizenship from Palestine supporters.

This government enabled the ascent of the far-right and fascist parties. Instead of countering them, the government is adopting their rhetoric by blaming migrants for the misery in Germany. The so-called liberals are shifting German society further to the right.

“You will just have to kill me.” – Police arrested Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on a plane upon landing in Manila.

The ICC wants Duterte over his so-called “war on drugs,” which rights groups say left 30,000 people dead. Here’s a quick look back at his reign. 🧵

The Philippines remembers Duterte’s tenure as president for widespread extrajudicial killings, the rise of a climate of impunity, economic incompetence, and crackdowns on media, rights activists, and his political opponents.

Human rights groups like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch estimate between 12,000 and 30,000 deaths tied to Duterte’s so-called war on drugs. The government’s own data indicates that some 6,190 people were killed in police operations between 2016 and 2021.

Who is cashing in on conflict in the DR Congo? As M23 rebels consolidate control, citizens rally outside foreign embassies, demanding accountability. Despite DR Congo’s vast resource wealth, the country is one of the poorest in the world. 🧵

With largely untapped resources worth $24,000,000,000,000, DR Congo is the most resource-rich country worldwide. But from the beginning of colonization to the present day, the country’s resources have been plundered, leaving the population among the poorest in the world.

Did you know that Chiang Kai-Shek, who shaped today’s Taiwan, was responsible for the massacre of over 30,000 people on the island? Read on. 🧵

The February 28 (228) Massacre is considered to be one of the most significant events in Taiwan’s modern history. It marked the beginning of decades of White Terror, leaving a lasting impact on the island.

Jailed PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan has called on his organization to disband and lay down arms—but the final decision rests with the PKK’s upcoming congress. For 43 years, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party has fought a national liberation war.

Here’s how it all began. 🧵

The PKK is one of the largest armed non-state actors worldwide. Öcalan led its foundation in 1978 in the southeast of Türkiye with the zeal to fight for an independent Kurdistan. The early PKK was heavily inspired by the socialist and anti-colonial movement that defined the 1970s.

Just two years after the party’s founding, Türkiye was rocked by a military coup. The Kurdish language was banned. The state launched a full-blown counterinsurgency campaign, targeting the surging leftist and Kurdish independence movements that had begun to take root.

On this day in 1869, Bolshevik revolutionary Nadezhda Krupskaya was born. Many historians, however, overlook her tireless efforts and invaluable contributions to the Marxist-Leninist movement and Soviet society, reducing her to the role of “Lenin’s wife.” Read on to learn more about one of the Soviet Union’s most influential women. 🧵

Nadezhda Krupskaya was born on February 26, 1869. As a leading Bolshevik revolutionary and wife of Lenin, she made significant yet often overlooked contributions to the Marxist-Leninist movement.

Krupskaya’s early involvement in Marxist student societies gave her an understanding of the struggles and injustices of working-class people. She dedicated almost 50 years to the party and revolutionary transformation of society.

DPR Korean doctors are “violating” UN sanctions by providing medical services in DR Congo, according to US-funded Radio Free Asia (RFA). What the RFA report omits is that ongoing conflicts have left millions in DR Congo without much-needed medical services.

With one of the world’s lowest healthcare coverage rates, DR Congo’s hospitals and clinics lack personnel, equipment, and critical medicine. Decades of conflict—especially in the country’s east—have further restricted access to essential care.

However, since 2019, UN Security Council Resolution 2397 has barred all DPRK medical staff from working abroad in an effort to cut off funding for the DPRK’s weapons programs.
