The speed at which the US withdrawal is happening may be a sign that this confrontation is much closer then we expect. The Lebanese disarmament circus and this withdrawal line up too well for it to be a coincidence in my opinion.

Sadly, I also see the possibility of internal conflict within Lebanon starting to increase by each passing day. I still wonder how are the traitors within Lebanon looking to disarm Hezbollah without the majority. I also wonder if they will oust themselves as traitors while contacting for USraeli military support, how will the Lebanese people react?

Before I read the article, I hope that most people who read this know that Carlos Garrido is one of the MAGA-“Communist” Nazbol bootlickers.

Thanks for the heads up. 🫡 I wouldn’t have noticed if it wasn’t for your comment.

As for the article, surprisingly, I couldn’t find fault in his logic in the article. It is pretty well written.

They just can’t stop themselves anymore.

Like the highway 👀

Done. I updated the body of the post with your information.

• From Vietnam

• From my Mexico(from our little marxist reading club)

信仰之光 Marxist Literature Collection Exhibition, organized by the Central Party History and Literature Research Institute, opened at Nanjing Library on July 1, 2025, showcasing nearly 400 items including rare manuscripts by Marx and Engels.

It’s okay. It is normal to feel jaded sometimes. As for this article that I posted, I am not sure yet if it is lie until I get a solid source from Beetle. However, it is great to have the skills taught by CriticalResist in his substack regarding media literacy. I usually come back to it when I need a refresher:

• Lesson in media literacy #1
• Lesson in media literacy #2

Hope it helps you! It helped me throughout this journey as a marxist to read information from diverse media.

I tried looking for myself other articles but all of them echo this one. Maybe, Beetle knows more information in dutch?

Damn 😞 Thanks for the clarification. If you have a source that goes into detail on this, could you share it so I can update the post?

That fascist scum is really hellbent to dye the entire region in blood.

True. However, sanctions don’t have the power to disrupt these countries as it did before.

Right now, (this is entirely my speculation) the imperialist are trying to attack solidarity for Burkina Faso within Western countries(this wouldn’t be the first time because they have done this against the Palestinian resistance). However, I am confident that our queer comrades within Burkina Faso will organize along with the current pro-women organizations such as this one to fight the conservative and religious, Coalition to Act Against Gender-Based Violence (Faso CAC-VBG).

More like the old ways that got erased by colonialism

Exactly. This is the type of thinking that permeates in places that have anti imperialist thinking.

We can’t let the imperialist use the identity of our LGBT+ comrades as justification to destroy nations like Burkina Faso. Also, we need to reassure the people in these nations that we are part of their development and the revolution. We are allies and not their enemies.

The imperialist from the US and Europe are well known to fund LGBT+ campaigns. We all know that most of those programs don’t really help our LGBT+ comrades but it does help to fund terrorists:

“Without the support of this American aid agency, terrorist groups like the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara or Iyad Ag Ghaly’s JNIM could find themselves short of weapons, ammunition, and reconnaissance means. This is very good news for Africa, because USAID is an unconventional warfare weapon for American special forces, which use psychological manipulation methods and support insurgency and irregular warfare against Africans ,” said a Nigerien on condition of anonymity.

The Burkinabe have strong relations with their diaspora so I am pretty sure that they will overcome it through strong Grassroot orgs independent from imperialist funding.

Well, we all know that the french capitalist media doesn’t really care about our LGBT+ comrades neither our Burkinabe comrades. They only care to further their imperialist goals in the region which is to desestabilize Burkina Faso and to plunder their resources.

People aren’t being ruled by consent with this measure

Sadly, this is part of the will of the majority. The majority of Burkina Faso are religious. However, this will change if three things happen:

• Strong Grassroot orgs move to educate the masses against the typical lies
• The civilization moves to study science in great numbers which will then destroy the unscientific and religious thinking within society.
• There has to be a separate and strong Grassroot org without any funding from the imperialist American and French that furthers LGBT+ cause while bolstering the revolution. In other words, they have to be part of the revolution and not to be confused with the imperialists.

One example of the first point is this org that tackles some common lies about homosexuality that links it to HIV/AIDS:

Unlike Burkina Faso’s other LGBTI groups, Alternative aims to focus on human rights in addition to public health, meaning its leaders are as interested in engaging with the politics of alternative sexualities as they are in promoting measures to prevent HIV/AIDS. At a recent meeting, a member who had recently attended a training in Ouagadougou reported back about some of the concepts and terms he had learned, including the word “queer,” which he pronounced like “skewer” without the “s.” “They’ve developed a new term that is very interesting,” he said, before explaining its definition. “This is the new trend in the United States.”

They are well prepared thanks to Iran, China and Russia that provided plenty of weapons and gear. If the US invades, they are going to experience a new painful failure as they did in Vietnam.
