"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Tasnim alleged that these mines resembled ready-made canned food, and were somewhat larger than tuna cans and contained explosives that detonated after being opened, causing casualties. “These packages have been dropped in the skies over the southern suburbs of Shiraz, especially in the village of Kafari, and unfortunately have caused the martyrdom of several people in these areas,” the media post that appeared on Telegram claimed.

It is a deliberate, cynical deployment of tiny mines designed to look like harmless food tins—scatterable munitions dropped from US aircraft that have already claimed civilian lives and maimed families in an area with no discernible military target.

I mean look at the Soviet Union. They didn't go from tending to fields with wooden ploughs to dominating the space race within 1-2 generations without the entry of women into the Academia and workplace.

Hello, dear comrades.

This is something I've been thinking a lot recently. Since I am Chilean, I am well aware of the violations of Human Rights ordered and carried out by Pinochet and his minions during his narcodictatorship. The so-called opposition to Pinochet that encompased social democrats, opportunists (such as the vile Christian Democratic Party, the organisation that received the most funding from the CIA), and many revisionist organisations essentially took the chance to use Human Rights as a tool to gain political and electoral support.

It is this very revisionist 'left' that is also the first to condemn and dennounce AES because they aim to apply the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. For example, former president Michelle Bachelet, who was allegedly imprisoned, tortured, and exiled during Pinochet's dictatorship, followed the Western psyop about the Uyghur people in Xinjiang by stating that the People's Republic of China was responsible for 'high violations of human rights' when she was the UN High Commissioner. Ironic, given that she violated the Mapuche people's Human Rights during her first presidency.

From what I've seen, what is understood as Human Rights in the zeitgeist is quite 'liberal'. I certainly do not remember mentions of liberation of nor power to the working class or any other concepts related to Marxist theory and practice. Moreover, organisations such as Human Rights Watch are the first to condemn and influence the public opinion on Cuba, the People's Republic of China, the DPRK, etc. even when they are in a constant struggle to protect and help the working class and its many peoples.

Finally, the rise of fascism and the far right worldwide and the abuse of terms such as 'freedom of speech' and 'freedom' in general to spew lies, revisionism, anti-science, anti-communism, etc. show us that they have no qualms in also using Human Rights as a tool. However, if history has taught us anything, it's that this kind of scum who trample over them and also use revisionism for their political ends.

So, how are we as Marxist-Leninists supposed to understand Human Rights and tackle the problem of non-Marxists taking advantage of them?

Cheers

I am Abeer, a mother of four children from Gaza. Since the war, we have been living in constant fear and exhaustion. Every day feels heavier than the one before, and the hardest part is seeing my children need simple things that I cannot provide.

I try to stay strong for them, but the truth is… I am tired, and I truly need your help. Any support, even something small, can ease this burden and give my children a little comfort and hope.

Your kindness means more than words can express… and your support can change a whole day in our lives.

Link in bio or message me privately. 🙏💔🇵🇸
