Mick van Wely wrote that his Dutch grandfather worked as an optician for the resistance in Leiden and took photos for forged documents. According to him, his father grew up with a strong aversion to Germans. When, as a five-year-old, he received an apple from a German soldier, he thanked him with a curse word for Germans, Van Wely said. His Hungarian mother, he said, grew up under communism, which he described as just as bad as fascism. Van Wely wrote that he had been raised at home with love for and respect for freedom. This, he said, explained why he sometimes reacted angrily when he saw that the carefully built Western lead and achievements, which had long been taken for granted, were coming under heavy pressure and were slowly being rolled back. #vrijheid #geschiedenis #verzet (translated)

Auguste Bardamu claimed that Karl Marx never paid Helene Demuth a regular salary, who had worked for over forty years for his family in exchange for lodging and food. He wrote that she took care of the laundry, meals, and children. According to Bardamu, Marx had gotten Demuth pregnant in 1851 and refused to acknowledge their son, Frederick. The author argued that Friedrich Engels publicly endorsed the paternity of the child at Marx's request, and then Frederick was placed in a poor foster family in London. He also claimed that Marx never gave her money and prohibited her from entering through the main door during visits to her mother. Bardamu added that Engels only revealed the true identity of the father on his deathbed. He concluded that Marx wrote "Capital" while Demuth worked in his home without payment. #Marx #Exploitation #LutteDesClasses (translated)

This is very serious: US$ 1 MILLION AGAINST THE STF Revealed campaign from the Trump government. The government of Donald Trump allocated US$ 1 million to finance a campaign against the STF in Brazil. The revelations were published this Thursday by the British newspaper The Guardian, which points out how resources originally intended by the US for the global human rights agenda were redirected to the interests of the American far right. According to the report, a US$ 1 million grant titled "Combating Lawfare and Censorship in Brazil" would finance civil society groups that oppose what is described as excessive judicial action and censorship by the Supreme Court of Brazil. "The Trump administration imposed sanctions on Brazilian minister Alexandre de Moraes last year, following pressure from Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of the former president," the article recalled. According to the newspaper, a Democratic congressional aide stated that a senator from the Foreign Relations Committee, Jeanne Shaheen, had maintained the blockage of ten disbursements totaling US$ 22 million, intended for projects in Brazil, South Africa, and Nigeria, as well as for promoting a right-wing ideology in the UK and Europe. This week, Shaheen sent a letter to the Trump administration to denounce interference in the Brazilian election and demand the White House recognize the election results in the country. "Throughout President Trump's second term, we observed US authorities engaged in a campaign of interference and destabilization in Brazil," the senator said in the document. "This effort intensified dramatically during the summer of 2025, when the Administration imposed targeted tariffs and sanctions in an attempt to influence the verdict of the Brazilian Supreme Court in the trial of former president Jair Bolsonaro, accused of attempting to foment a military coup to remain in power," she stated. According to the aide consulted by the newspaper, Secretary of State Marco Rubio had personally signed a memorandum to ignore the senator's blockages and authorize the allocation of funds. Destabilizing the STF For observers and diplomats, destabilizing the STF has become a priority for the Brazilian and foreign far right. The movement sees the institution as a brake on implementing an ultra-conservative project in the country and regaining freedom of action on all fronts. The money comes from the Fund for Human Rights and Democracy, created to finance Trump's conservative agenda around the world and, according to its critics, to attack any form of opposition. "The largest disbursement, totaling US$ 40 million, was allocated to a consortium led by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (VOC) — a non-profit anti-communist organization that, in the past, had received much lower amounts in grants," the report indicated. A background check document from the Department of State, consulted by The Guardian, records previous contracts between the foundation and the agency totaling US$ 96,997 in the last five years — all in the fiscal year 2022 — and notes that the organization underwent a check in 2019 related to tickets for the foundation's gala event. The document also identifies Andrew Bremberg — former domestic policy advisor to the White House during the Trump administration and former US ambassador to the UN office in Europe — as a "senior leader" of the foundation.

L'embargo américain est en effet une très mauvaise mesure. Non seulement, il frappe des honnêtes gens qui n'ont rien demandé. Mais il permet aux journalistes peu scrupuleux de désigner un coupable extérieur, sans entamer la moindre réflexion sur la fâcheuse tendance des régimes communistes à installer la pénurie, et cela depuis 1917. #embargo #journalisme #communisme

Wierd Duk over links-radicale uitspraken van wethouder Zita Pels van Pro Amsterdam. Zita Pels: 'Fuck Donald Trump, free Palestine, fuck ice, free all oppressed people, fuck capitalism, fuck bitches get money and eat the rich.' 'Als iemand van Forum voor Democratie wethouder zou zijn, die zou zeggen wat Zita Pels zegt. Het land zou in rep en roer zijn.' "Alleen aan de linkerkant wordt dit altijd maar gebagatelliseerd en vergeven, waardoor zij veel meer toegang hebben tot de macht." "Want zij kunnen zich immers bijna alles veroorloven. En daardoor bereik je ook een veel groter publiek als je niet gecensureerd wordt." "fuck capitalism / eat the rich" is geen neutrale grap. Het is vijandige retoriek tegen een hele klasse. Dat soort taal overlapt historisch met communisme en socialisme. #Politiek #Links #Maatschappij

We zijn het meest gelijke land ter wereld. Het verschil tussen een hardwerkende met 3 universitaire diploma's, die probeert te sparen, beleggen (maar uitgeperst wordt als een citroen) en een beroepsdopper met alle voordelen is nergens zo klein. Communisme, maar zonder de moorden. #gelijkheid #communisme #socialerechtvaardigheid

Jona van Loenen wil de erfbelasting verhogen vanwege de tsunami van erfenissen van babyboomers. "Wat heel belangrijk is dat bij babyboomers soms 60 tot wel 70% van het vermogen in de eigen woning zit. Daarom zijn die babyboomers ook zo vermogend geworden." "Dus nu hebben ze 1000 miljard. Tien jaar geleden hadden 65-plussers 450 miljard. Dus verdubbeld in tien jaar tijd." "En hoe kan dat? Zijn ze heel ondernemend geweest? Hebben ze heel hard gewerkt? Nee, dat komt puur door de waardestijging van de woning. Heb je niets voor gedaan." Onder het mom van ongelijkheid wordt het vermogen van mensen onteigend. Dit geld heeft de overheid nodig om het peperdure klimaatbeleid, stikstofbeleid, asielbeleid, defensie en Oekraïne te kunnen bekostigen. Dit riekt heel sterk naar communisme. #erfbelasting #babyboomers #ongelijkheid

Dans un système communiste, le chômage est officiellement inexistant: l’État garantit un emploi à chacun. Tout est censé être accessible à tous, enfin, presque. En revanche, ton salaire peut être extrêmement faible et ton pouvoir d’achat limité. Le problème ne s’arrête pas là. Lorsque l’État planifie l’économie, il décide largement des prix, des quantités à produire et de la répartition des ressources, plutôt que de laisser l’offre et la demande jouer leur rôle. Imagine toi: tu es un citoyen communiste vivant dans ce fameux "paradis communiste". Tu as un logement à loyer très faible, des soins médicaux largement pris en charge par l’État et un emploi garanti. Mais tu gagnes peu d’argent aux alentours de 30-50 euros mensuel, puisque cela te servira à rien, tout est presque gratuit. Un jour, tu veux simplement acheter du beurre. L’État bloque les prix et fixe le prix du beurre à 0,10 euros. Tout le monde peut donc se le permettre. Résultat: la demande explose. Mais si les producteurs n’en fabriquent pas suffisamment, les stocks s’épuisent. Dans une économie de marché, lorsque la demande dépasse l’offre, le prix tend à augmenter. Cela peut réduire la demande et inciter les producteurs à augmenter leur production. Dans une économie où les prix sont fixés administrativement, le prix peut rester artificiellement bas malgré le manque de produits. C'est tout le paradoxe d'un système communiste: le beurre est bon marché, mais tu ne peux pas en trouver. Tu as donc le choix: repartir les mains vides, attendre le prochain approvisionnement ou faire la queue pendant des heures avec ton carnet de rationnement chiffonné par le désespoir pour obtenir un produit aussi banal qu’une plaquette de beurre. Les biens plus rares, certains vêtements, appareils électroménagers, voitures, meubles ou produits importés, tu peux aussi les oublier, ce ne seront que des rêves. Et ça, c’est sans même parler du contrôle politique. La liberté d’expression, la liberté politique et la liberté économique seront fortement limitées. Critiquer le régime pourrait avoir de lourdes conséquences pour toi, tandis que la propriété privée et l’entrepreneuriat seront extrêmement encadrés et limitées. https://t.co/jlUOHozO2v #communisme #économie #liberté
