1/ The images from Gaza are not just "tragedy"—they are the deliberate, calculated result of Zionism’s settler-colonial project, backed by the full force of US-led imperialism.

THREAD: The empire’s collapse might not mean chaos—but opportunity. Let’s break down why fracturing America could weaken capital and empower people's movements. 🧵 1/ The United States is crumbling from within. Political gridlock, wild regional inequalities, and cultural civil wars reveal a failed imperial project. Rather than fear balkanization, socialists should prepare to turn fragmentation into liberation.

THREAD: The Hidden Empire—How U.S. Private Investors Gobble Up Global Land (And Why It Matters) 🧵 1/ While everyone talks about US military bases abroad, a quieter conquest is happening: American private investors buying up foreign land at record rates. From Brazilian farms to Lisbon apartments, here’s what’s happening—and why it’s neo-colonialism.

Thread: China Won—Here’s Why 🧵 1/8 The great divergence began in 2001.

Thread: Dialectical Materialism Against Imperialism: A Unified Critique of Capitalism’s False Scarcity, the Limits of Monetary Reform, and China’s Path 🧵 1/15
Capitalism’s most insidious lie is the myth of the "fixed pie"—the idea that wealth is finite and workers demanding more would destabilize the economy. This zero-sum narrative justifies exploitation while obscuring the reality of systematic theft.

We're witnessing the birth of a new ruling class: Big Finance + Silicon Valley technocrats.

Their product? The 21st century surveillance state.

Let’s connect the dots. 🧵 2/ Exhibit A: Palantir.

Founded with CIA seed money, now designing AI systems for:

-Predictive policing
-Military targeting
-Immigration enforcement

This isn’t conspiracy theory—it’s their business model.
