Fuck Yeah Marxism-Leninism

A Communist should have largeness of mind and he should be staunch and active, looking upon the interests of the revolution as his very life and subordinating his personal interests to those of the revolution; always and everywhere he should adhere to principle and wage a tireless struggle against all incorrect ideas and actions, so as to consolidate the collective life of the Party and strengthen the ties between the Party and the masses; he should be more concerned about the Party and the masses than about any private person, and more concerned about others than about himself. Only thus can he be considered a Communist.

Invasion Likely, Warns Syrian President

Damascus, May 19 (Prensa Latina) - President Bashar al-Assad denied again that the authorities are using chemical weapons, as argued by Western and regional governments, and he anticipated a likely military invasion against the country.

The accusations regarding the use of chemical weapons or my resignation change every day, and this is likely to be used as a pretext for a war against the nation, he said in an interview with two Argentinian media organizations that is making headlines today in local media here.

“They said we used chemical weapons against residential areas. Now, if they were used on a city or suburb, with alleged 10 or 12 victims reported, would it be credible?”, he wondered.

Al Assad said this would mean the deaths of thousands or tens of thousands of people in a matter of minutes, which would be impossible to hide.

The West lies and fabricates evidence to unleash war; this is what they usually do, said Assad while recalling the fiasco of ex US Secretary of State, Colin Powell, who swore at the UN that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, which were never found, but the pretext was used for the invasion of 2003.

Besides, it is inadmissible for someone to say that the Syrian President has to go because the United States or the terrorists want so, said Assad, who insisted that this decision can only be made by the Syrian people by their votes in elections called for 2014.

“ On this 65th commemoration of the Nakba, let there be no doubt that the only path that will lead to the end of the Israeli occupation is the one of resistance. This is why today we stand firmly in the defense of the Syrian Arab Republic, the heart of the Resistance Axis, for Syria’s struggle against the Zionist conspiracy is the fight to liberate Palestine from the river to the sea.

Imperialists are behind escalated attacks on Syria

By David Sole

Despite the open and obvious controlling hand of the U.S. and other imperialist powers behind the Syrian opposition, some claiming to be on the “left” continue to call for support of the rebels. The Syrian protest movement may have begun with genuine grievances and goals. But the armed opposition to the Syrian government has clearly become an imperialist intervention to overthrow a government that long has been unwilling to submit to Washington and Israel.

A manifesto issued by a so-called “Global Campaign of Solidarity with the Syrian Revolution” was published on May 1 in the Socialist Worker, organ of the International Socialist Organization in the United States. Its demands echo those of the U.S. government and its NATO allies. They say the departure of President Bashar al-Assad and the victory of the “rebels” would “begin a speedy recovery towards a democratic future.” But where in the world has imperialism brought benefits to the colonized people?

Venezuela & Syria: Two peoples, one resistance

CARACAS,(SANA) – The Unified Socialist Party of Venezuela organized a political and cultural event in San Juan in the capital Caracas under the title “Venezuela and Syria…Two Peoples, One Resistance”.

The event was held Saturday evening in Italy Square in coordination with the Syrian Embassy in Caracas and the participation of a large number of members of the Syrian community, in addition to Venezuelan MPs, officers and representatives of several political parties.

The representative of Unified Socialist Party in San Juan, Elliot Hernandez, delivered a speech in which he condemned the imperialist American attack on Syria that has been going on for two years carried out by the agents of imperialism inside and outside Syria. He added that when those agents failed to accomplish the mission, Israel stepped forward to carry out the task, stressing that Israel will never be able to undermine the steadfastness of the Syrian leadership and people.

Hernandez affirmed Venezuela’s support for Syria in all fields given the common interests the two countries share in terms of resisting the forces of the Western hegemony. He stressed that the strong relationship which bound President Bashar al-Assad and the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will continue under the leadership of President Nicolas Maduro.

For his part, the Syrian Ambassador to Venezuela, Gassan Abbas, presented a review on the latest developments of the situation in Syria, especially after Israeli aggression, hailing the Venezuelan people and government’s stances in support of Syria.

Mideast Backlashes Yet to Come

By Sharmine Narwani, Al-Akhbar

What yesterday’s global powerbrokers seek from the incoming class of political Islamists is the maintenance of the status quo, including, among other things, embracing Israel and rejecting Iran. But an open pledge of allegiance to Israel is impossible for the Ikhwan and similar parties – their very legitimacy comes in part from denouncing the legitimacy of the Zionist experiment in Palestine.

Nothing tested their limits as dangerously as last November’s eight days of rocket-volley between Gaza and Israel. Each passing day drove home the fact that, despite their standard rhetoric to domestic and regional constituencies, Islamist heads of state in Turkey, Egypt, and Qatar were rendered paralyzed – and mute – as the Israeli army pounded Gaza.

Instead, it was firepower, training and strategic planning by Iran, Hezbollah, and Syria that propped up defiant Palestinians through those dark hours. The unexpected arsenal of rockets that countered Israeli aggression came from Hamas’ Qassam Brigades, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), and other smaller resistance groups, who became the heroes of that conflict.

Not one missile, bullet, or slogan came from the three new Qatari, Turkish, and Egyptian “Sunni kings” vying for power on the coattails of the Arab uprisings.

Had the battle gone on for another week or two, the entire Middle East might have been reconfigured in its aftermath. Never have the Israelis so quickly signed a ceasefire agreement.

The global battle of the blocs and the inter-regional Sunni power struggle crossed paths in that Gaza battle. In it, the US bloc and political Islam exposed their vulnerabilities. Both groups are currently upholding – against a tidal wave of popular sentiment – systems, values, and institutions that were supposed to be swept away by honor-and-dignity revolts. Any incident that highlights this fact can serve as a springboard for a backlash against the interests of the West and its Islamist allies in the region.

Real Horror of Benghazi Was Ethnic Cleansing: Let’s Talk About That

By Davey D

So everyone is talking about Benghazi as if they actually know where that city is on the map and up til now really didn’t care to know..It sad to see that 4 Americans died and that there were probably some missteps and leading up to their deaths, but lets keep it 100… the US had basically invaded Libya along with NATO at the urging of the global corporate powers who saw Libya as a threat to their economic dominance.. Libya was set to introduce its own World Bank for African nations and its own currency to rival the dollar..This would have in effect ended a lot of the economic repressions African nations were experiencing..

The US upon learning this armed some crazy anti-black Arab rebels who positioned themselves as part of the ‘Arab Spring‘..Folks were enamored and cheered them on even after it was revealed early on that many of those rebels were connected to Al Qaeda.. Thousands of Black Africans who lived in Libya or were migrant workers from other countries were lynched in the streets.. The human rights violations were atrocious.. Read about it HERE .. You can also read about it HERE. There are scores of articles and detailed reports of this ranging from the UK Guardian to Amnesty International.

There were public hangings, Black people rounded up and put in cages like animals in a zoo and made to eat the new Libyan flag.. again I kid you not they were made to eat the new Libyan flag..There are videos on-line showing this.. That was the horror of Benghazi..That’s the horror no one wants to talk about.

Deadly bombs spark protests in Turkish border city

ANTAKYA, Turkey (Reuters) - Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of the Turkish city of Antakya on Sunday, a day after bombs killed nearly 50 people in a nearby town as Syria’s civil war spills into the region.

Several hundred people, mostly leftist and nationalist demonstrators, marched through the center of the city no more than 50 km (30 miles) from the Syrian frontier, carrying banners and shouting anti-government slogans while onlookers cheered.

The protests came after two car bombs ripped through the center of Reyhanli on Saturday, a border town less than half an hour away and the latest flashpoint in the spread of violence from Syria, killing 46 and wounding scores more.

Ankara has blamed fighters loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for the attacks and said they will not go unanswered.

But many in this frontier province of Hatay, a melting pot of sectarian, ethnic and religious groups, some of whom share Assad’s Alawite creed, blame their own government and its policy on Syria for the bloodshed spilling onto Turkish soil.

Turkey has taken in more than 400,000 Syrian refugees, many of whom have settled in Hatay, and has thrown its full weight behind the armed opposition fighting to overthrow Assad, although it denies supplying weapons.

Fighters are able to cross back and forth across the frontier virtually unchallenged, unsettling many on the Turkish side of the border, who say more and more radical groups are joining the opposition ranks.

“We have a message for our people: We will rid our city of the jihadist murderers,” read one of the protesters’ banners.

“Hands off Syria,” read another, with a picture of Turkey’s Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan and U.S. President Barack Obama wearing military helmets with a fighter jet in the foreground.
