🧵The CIA feared the USSR could reach communism because they were reducing hours at the workday. In "The Economic Problems Socialism USSR", Stalin gave an argument for how the USSR would reach Communism. He proposed doubling living standards, and reducing the hours of labor in the USSR.

🧵 On the Gold Standard.

1/4 The reason we believe it is so important to study the gold standard is that since the United States abandoned it in 1971, labor hours have not decreased and have instead remained stagnant.

This was a deliberate attack on the working class. 2/3 Unions have also capitulated to this reality, instead focusing on demanding higher wages—which will ultimately be eroded by inflation. This ability to erode wages and extend work hours is a hidden feature of the fiat dollar system. Bourgeois economists call it "full employment."

🧵Quotes from Nick Land (@xenocosmography) that are similar to Karl Marx.
1: Accelerating accumulation as the definition of capital:

Land: “Among [accelerationism’s] predictions is the expectation that you’ll be too slow to deal with it coherently.”

Marx: “Constant revolutionising of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, …”

🧵 How the Bolshevik revolution turned Russia into a Chess superpower. In an earlier thread, we explained how the Communist Revolution led to a radical reduction in working hours, giving millions of people ample free time to engage in various activities, including sports. One sport in particular—chess—eventually became a staple of Soviet society.

🚨🇨🇳On Wen Tiejun and his theory of “Rural Revitalization” - By @ChenKojira 🚨🧵
It has come to our attention that many people on X have repeatedly slandered Wen Tiejun over the past few days in regards to his proximity to China’s Central Committee policy regarding rural revitalization. There are people who have claimed that Professor Wen Tiejun is merely “peripheral” to the communist party and actually is in contradiction to Central policy towards rural revitalization.

This is entirely false. The following thread will systematically breakdown Wen Tiejun’s core views on rural revitalization and agriculture, simultaneously going into how it relates to Central policy.
1) Who is Wen Tiejun?
Wen Tiejun, a native of Beijing and Changli County , Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, is the dean of the Institute for Advanced Studies on Sustainable Development at Renmin University of China, president and editor-in-chief of China Reform and Reform Insider magazines, and a well-known agricultural expert, particularly on the “Three Rural Issues”. (1)

More importantly, he is also a provincial and ministerial policy expert at the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Commerce, the State Forestry Administration, the State Grain Administration, a consultant to the Beijing Municipal Government, a consultant to the Fujian Provincial government, and vice president of the China Agricultural Economics Society.(2）

He has also been nominated as a member of the National Environmental Advisory Committee. In 2007, he was elected as the Vice President of the Chinese Agricultural Economics Society. In 2008, he was appointed by the State Council Academic Degree Committee as a member of the Agricultural and Forestry Economic Management Group of the Sixth Discipline Evaluation Group. In 2012, he served as the Executive Dean of the China Rural Construction College of Southwest University, and in 2013, he served as the Executive Vice Dean of the Straits Rural Construction College of Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University. (3)

Clearly, based on his consistent accolades, not just academically but politically, he is not “peripheral” from the central government at all. He has been appointed as consultants for provincial governments. He has also served as a policy expert at at least three different agricultural government bodies. He is not by any means, “peripheral” to the central government.

Who funded the Nazis? All the most influential financial backers of the Nazi Party compiled into one thread 🧵 1. The Thule Society

The Thule Society was an offshoot of the Germananorden, a theosophic/ariosophic organization heavily influenced by the Freemasons with many ties to European noble aristocracy. How much exactly they gave is unknown, but they are the ones responsible for creating the original German Workers Party, the predecessor of the National Socialist German Workers Party.

🧵 HOW THE SOVIET UNION TRIED TO PREVENT WORLD WAR TWO - MASTER THREAD

September 30th marked the 86th anniversary of the Munich Agreement. In the events leading up to it, as well as during the Munich debacle itself, the Soviet Union was the only country in the world standing up to German insatiable revanchism.

It is safe to say that the Munich Betrayal was the point of no return for Europe. The precedent was set, alliances and promises were broken, and Germany became ever more confident in her expansion to the East. Western leaders set a chain of events in motion that would spiral out of control almost immediately after declaring “peace for our time”, and people saw it from miles away.

This thread will examine the critical points leading up to the Munich agreement, the Munich agreement itself and why the events transpired as they did. Quite clearly things are heading for a new war

CONFRONTATION AND ISOLATION - 1920s
During and after the Russian civil war, the Soviet Union was the main object of Western hostility. It is well known how over a dozen Entente powers intervened in the civil war. Their goal was clear: the Allied intervention “would see the end of Bolshevism”, said Marshal Foch, Supreme Allied Commander.

The Entente powers were already drafting maps on how the former territories of the Russian Empire would be balkanized after the intervention crushes the Bolsheviks, but to their dismay the Revolution prevailed in the end.

The only other country in Europe in a similar position to the USSR was Weimar Germany. The two countries signed the Rapallo Treaty in 1922 which marks the beginning of their collaboration. As one historian puts it:
“[The USSR] succeeded in concluding the Rapallo agreement with Germany. It meant a lot for [the] Soviet Union, it was its first official recognition by a Great Power”.

The establishment of the USSR in Europe was a thorn in the eye of British and French elites. As Sir Alexander Cadogan, the permanent under secretary at the Foreign Office, will later recall:
“Some people forget the years, say 1920–26, when the only danger was Bolshevism.”

🧵The famous "Beria Document" is actually a forgery.

Here's just a few reasons why:

https://twitter.com/Der_Parrot/status/1837258157095092365

1. “Beria’s letter” has a number but no date. In a genuine document that is impossible since they are the one and the same note in the registration record, and then the date is more important than the number.

🧵When the United States almost adopted a 30 hour work week, and how the Federal Government stopped it The Black thirty-hour bill was introduced by Senator Hugo L. Black, a Democrat from Alabama, in December 1932 to establish a thirty-hour maximum workweek.

The bill aimed at regulating labor hours to improve working conditions and reduce unemployment during the Great Depression.

J. D. Vance, Trump's new VP, is a zionist neocon. Here is his record

THREAD🧵 Main points:

- Vance's job is to help the elites exploit MAGA voters
- Vance is largely paid by CIA asset Peter Thiel
- Vance is a Neocon who wants war against China and Iran
- Vance pushes a "pivot" away from Ukraine but is still anti-Russia
- Vance is a zionist extremist

🧵Recently, Argentina saw a 0 percent increase in inflation.

What the media doesn't tell you, though, is that this wasn't due to Keynesianism or Austrian Economics, but rather ("accidentally") because of left-wing economics.
Libertarians have taken the opportunity to claim that this is a victory of libertarian economics, even citing quotes from Ludwig Von Mises.

Are they telling the truth?

What libertarians miss, though, is key context.

The missing context is that this was a shorter workweek!

Dissecting the BBC’s New Fake Narrative About the Death of Nika Shakarami

🧵THREAD Yesterday, on the 30th of April 2024, amidst global outrage about the US government’s treatment of students protesting the Israeli-American genocide in Gaza, the BBC published an article attacking Iran for its treatment of protestors.

The article claims to use leaked IRGC documents to show that Iranian security forces molested and killed a teen named Nika Shakarami during the 2022 ‘Women, Life, Freedom’ (WLF) protests that occurred over one and a half years ago.

🧵🇵🇸🇮🇷 THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PALESTINIAN RESISTANCE & IRAN

In this thread, we will let Palestine's Resistance explain in their own words the relationship between the Palestinian Resistance & Iran, and the broader resistance axis. It helps explain why Israel targets Iran, Syria, & others.

You can make your own judgement from their words. Compare their statements (which can be verified with on-the-ground evidence & declassified/public documents) with the arguments of those who claim to be "pro-Palestinian resistance" but "anti-Iran", "anti-Nasrallah", "anti-Syria", and/or "anti-Houthi", etc. Such a silly position quickly falls apart as will be demonstrated by this compilation thread.

This thread will also cover some other common talking points or questions. 🇵🇸🇮🇷 Clip 1: Abu Obeida speaks on Iranian military support for the Resistance.

🚨🧵“JUDEO-BOLSHEVISM” MYTH NUKED: PART 2

After the resolute destruction of this myth the first time, a fascist challenger has decided to attempt a response a week ago. Their so-called “debunk” of our thread completely falls flat like a dud, as will be resolutely examined below. OUR "DEBUNKER" USES FAKE DATA!

In his "debunk", the fascist Zoltanous asserts from Richard Lynn:
“At the First All-Russian Congress of Soviets in 1917, 31 percent of the Bolshevik delegates were Jews. In the Second Congress of Soviets, Jews were 37 percent of the Bolshevik delegates.”

But this is not possible. According to the direct historical documents which outline the biographies of the original Bolshevik delegates sent to the first All-Russian Congress in 1917, Only 105 Bolsheviks were appointed as delegates during the first government.

“The party structure was as follows: 285 Socialist-Revolutionaries, 248 Mensheviks, 105 Bolsheviks, 32 Mensheviks-Internationalists, and others.”

Source: .

These same documents detail the above-described impossibility that 31% of Bolshevik delegates in the first and second congress were Jewish. This is demonstrated accordingly in “Political Parties of Russia: History and Modernity”, where the following is stated about the demographics which compose the original 105 Bolsheviks that sat as delegates on the Supreme Soviet:

Original text:
“Интересны данные, собранные мандатной комиссией V съезде РСДРП о делегатахбольшевиках. Русских среди 105 большевиков было почтя 80%. Рабочие составляли 36%, литераторы и представители других свободных профессий – 27%, торгово-промышленные служащие – 11% и т.д. Высшее образование имели 20% большевистских делегатов…”

Translation of relevant text:
“Russians among the 105 Bolsheviks were almost 80%”.

Source: Page 205.

Including the well-established existence of Non-Russian & Non-Jewish Bolshevik (e.g. Armenian, Tatar etc.) delegates in the original Supreme Soviet, as well as the fact that the 80% number by itself contradicts Lynn’s assertion, this puts the percentage of Jewish members of the First Congress in 1917 far below the number of 31% that Lynn had originally stated.

What is more so notable, aside from the fact that the relevant historical sources contradict this “31%” number regarding the First Congress, is that Lynn’s book does not reveal his sources or any kind of demonstration which would provide clarity to the demographics of the First Congress, and not even so much as a table is presented. This is seen on page 221 of Lynn’s book cited by Zoltanous or whatever the hell his name is: .

For these two reasons one cannot rely on Lynn’s book alone to provide us an accurate picture of Soviet demography in the early stages of the then fledgling Bolshevik government. A mere citation of Lynn is not enough to stand as a form of evidence which corroborates the claim that Zoltanous is attempting to introduce.encspb.ru/object/2804022…

🧵THE MYTH OF “JEWISH” BOLSHEVISM DESTROYED - MASTER THREAD

Many of you are probably familiar with the widespread claim circulating on twitter, which claims that the Bolshevik revolution was Jewish.

This lie collapses upon minimal scrutiny of facts.

This thread will PUT TO REST the fairy-tale once and for all.

From now on, show it to anyone who repeats these claims. If they continue to assert it, be assured they are lying to you on purpose. In a recent viral tweet, Pagan Neo-Nazi and Notorious liar ‘Orthodox Canonist’ insinuated that most ‘Bolshevik’ Commissars were Jews.

But that’s actually impossible. In the revolutionary government, Trotsky, who was later purged, was the ONLY Jew out of 17 total commissars.

This retard posted a picture of a Jewish school in Kharkov with Yiddish characters - as if every single other minority didn’t have their own characters too. You can show Arabic script in some central Asian school - Are Bolsheviks now Islamic?
