Seminal work, I hear.

One of our most beloved comrades dropping some entertainment for our dear Hexbears in this most trying of times, Post-Dunk/Dredge lockdown.

I’ve been feeling it, folks, not gonna lie, been a last couple of boring days without our homie, UlyssesT keeping us up to date with King Bazinga’s post-election euphoria, lib mask-off meltdowns, and other golden turds from the dredge pile.

Gusanery.

It’s kinda funny that your pfp is Lenneth, because Lezard is practically that same chud you’re describing.

Many of us cannot attest to this because we have not lived it, but, if you go to China right now, and meet an old man in his 80’s, they can tell you where they were at, materially speaking, back before and after the revolution, and how much their lives in 1 lifetime, have improved. These people are still alive to tell the world their story, which is the second greatest story of human development since the Soviet Union.

Dunno how many people know this, but the watch that Maduro always uses was a gift from Diego, it may have been the one on that pic. Maradona’s spirit is always with Nico.

Hey, it’s not everyday my country gets some attention, so they’re all running on top of each other for that limelight. We have J-Go, Angel Cintrón and now the Archbishop chiming in, while the leopards are in front of their faces. I sometimes wonder what it will take for my compatriots to understand they’re not Americans. Will they have to see gringo pogroms in Florida and NYC? Nah, I know that even when they do see them, they will act as ‘‘shocked’’ as they’re acting now, as the leopards eat them.

Yep, this is an absolute classic. ''Oh, it’s just like the Stasi, Stalinism and the gulags, amirite, fellas? ‘‘And all the fellas nod along:’‘Yeah, bro, we’re not like that’’, while something they live through is like the cartoon they invented of those filthy commies.

Happy Birthday, buddy, hope you’re having a good day.

This looks like a great bit for an internal monologue, about the crisis of faith, loss of self, whether you’re there or not, whether these people are for real, and what are you doing here. It could go something like this:

‘‘Folks, we got the best crowds, beautiful crowds, I tell ya, just looking around, peeping through the donut hole and into the stove. You saw me making fries? I make the best fries, they never looked so toasty and golden, like my apartment, brilliant like me. You see me standing here, but what does it all mean? Look at this crowd, folks, we got the biggest crowds, check out that guy over there (points), the fake news media is always saying people walk out, but I never see them leaving, that guy went to the bathroom and came back, nobody’s leaving, but I’m leaving after this rally, you’re all leaving. People say we’re crazy, but you will come out to vote for me, I don’t care about you, maybe I don’t care about myself, but you’re cheering like I cheered for those golden fries, and they clapped back. The salty ‘‘El Dorado’’, you guys ever heard of that place? Some Spanish conquistadors were looking for a place made of gold, but I knew where it was, the biggest gold reserves you’ve ever seen, so magical, like amorphous energy. What am I doing here? (He turns around). The mic isn’t working, feels like that time I had to wait for an order of 4 Fish Fillets with fries, so toasty, so beautiful, or, believe me, that time at Mar-E-Lago when the valet parking went 2mins over the usual, but we have the best valet service, so it’s all water under the bridge. Folks, the sound people came over, they took the sound from me, I can’t get through, I’ll keep walking around and no one will notice we got a sound problem. Look at that hipster back there, we got the best hipsters, so beardy, with glasses, like those nerds back in school, I keep saying it, but nobody can hear me. Who came up with ‘‘Make Detroit Great Again?’’ MDGA, Mmd-gah? Doesn’t roll off like ‘‘MAGA’’. These campaign people can’t pitch camp, slogans, or catchphrases, why can’t they be like those donut energies? Always golden, always round, looks like the sound isn’t coming back, like that shit I took yesterday at that McDonalds, it’s why we had to close down, the dookie was too big. That sound lady is coming back, but they can’t hear me, nobody can hear me, and they aren’t leaving, nobody is leaving.’’

Indeed, I hope I live to see the day.

Yeah, over here they use Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua as the ‘‘bad countries’’ to promote that same bootlicker behavior. You made a good point on the ‘‘convenient white’’ concept, it’s true. Here they do the same, like you can be ‘‘one of the good ones’’, and ‘‘relatively civilized, relatively european’’ when you’re say, Milei or those assclowns from Paraguay and Uruguay that are so insignificant I don’t know their names nor care to. Same happens with Costa Rica, Guatemala, Dominican Republic where their political class is completely irrelevant.

I’d add my own country, Puerto Rico to that list as well. We’re precisely one of those ‘‘convenient whites’’ you so astutely mentioned, an example to dangle like keys to our kin, like:‘‘Look at how well PR is thanks to being a part of the US’’. This is why you don’t see people shitting on PR, because we have good public relations thanks to US hegemony and gusanos see us as a dream come true. Honestly, if we think logically to the conclusion of what reactionaries want, their aim would be to ‘‘Puertorricanize’’ their countries. We’re a model for them, even if they won’t come out and say so. Imagine what a dream it would be to be born with US citizenship slapped on your ass, and be able to go to Disneyland and feel that you’re not only ‘‘one of the good ones’’, but that you’re an American. That is the aspiration of all gusanery.

Absolutely right, thanks, man.

As a Latinamerican from the Caribbean, even though I wouldn’t pass for a POC because I look like a pasty ass motherfucker, I don’t see a problem with comparing the plight of Eastern Europe with us, because Eastern Europe has been like an internal colony for Western Europe historically, you have undergone the same shock therapy that we got through Pinochet and other dictators imposed by the US, and I think it is vital that we see how similar our histories are, because we have a lot in common. This is why I always stress that Latinamerica, Africa and Asia are family. We tend to forget that Eastern Europe has also been terrorized by the same forces of Western imperialism, but the similarities are there, in the life altering effects of neoliberalism.

On the topic of gusanos, I feel the same when I see a Latinamerican being a westoid, or bending the knee to empire. It is disgusting, and I almost went into the exact same rant you did yesterday when I saw those videos of Trump at Univisión Noticias, because I know how those people in Miami think of their own, and seeing them nod along to someone like Trump, a Republican to boot, sends me. I feel the same fucking way whenever I see an Afrodescendant or LGBTQ+ person supporting empire, like that Ritchie Torres being a zionist. It offends me to a severe degree. That is not our path, our path was paved by the sword of Bolívar, and the sun is setting on the West, this is not the wagon we should hitch, but the wagon we should ditch, to rot as it deserves. I’m gonna stop cause that rant is coming back to me. I get ya, comrade, Hahaha.

They’ve done a lot with regards to China. Breakthrough News is from them, and they have the China Report these days with Amanda Yee and KJ Noh. Ken Hammond, one of the co-founders of the Confucius Institute, member of Pivot for Peace, and one of the US’s premier experts on China, is a card carrying member of PSL. So it’s one of their party lines to support the CPC.
