Don’t lose hope comrade. Our best shot is to keep channelling all of this rage and sadness into organization. Organization means joining a collective where you perform agitation or even General strikes like happened in Italy.

Soon all of this impunity and horror will end.

Sadly, the debate regarding Venezuela is intense EVEN in Cuban telegram channels. In others words, Westerners aren’t the only ones scared regarding Venezuela but even Global South comrades(I have seen Iranian and Cuban comrades in different channels that I am in voicing both sides of the debates). As evidence of this, you can check this post from a Colombian comrade that synthesised both positions regarding this debate: https://xcancel.com/Edisson_hilos/status/2053998295471575292#m

As always, we have to move forward and always fight back against the US funded narrative regarding Venezuela. We will prevail if we avoid falling for the imperialist bait as the Colombian comrade mentioned:

The worst thing we can do is take the CIA’s bait. Dividing ourselves, accusing one another, and killing each other among revolutionaries while the enemy watches from above, waiting for us to finish the job for them. It worked in Grenada.

Those who speak out have a right to do so. So do those who defend the cause. But calling a critic a traitor or accusing someone who offers a nuanced view of being a sellout is like handing the enemy what it couldn’t achieve with bombs.

Obviously, we must be very vigilant. Our Venezuelan brothers and sisters must guard against those who take advantage of negotiations with the oppressor to let themselves be swayed. At those negotiating tables, bonds are forged, and those who lack a firm resolve end up confusing the genocidal pedophile with a partner.

Venezuela needs us to stop destroying ourselves and put all our energy into what can save us: maintaining unity, welcoming self-criticism, keeping a cool and analytical head, truly preparing ourselves by correcting what went wrong, organizing, arming ourselves, building real power, and using this “time of submission” without wasting it.

I’m thinking of a mural they painted at the UPTC, here in Bogotá, Colombia, featuring a quote by Camilo Torres:

“Let’s focus on what unites us and set aside what divides us.”

If you are reacting like this to a strategic retreat from our comrades in Venezuela, I can’t imagine how you will react if you time travelled to the time when Lenin signed the Brest-Litovsk treaty.

As context, Lenin signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, ceding a vast territory to Germany—one rich in population, mines, oil, and gas. Half the left called him a traitor. But if he hadn’t signed, Germany would have invaded, and the Bolshevik Revolution would have ended right there. Lenin gave up all that to buy time.

(Comrades may correct me if I made some imprecisions)Stalin did the same in 1939 with the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. He signed with the Nazis and pushed the Soviet border further back. He gained two and a half years to prepare before the German invasion he knew was coming. At the time, many criticized him. History judged him differently.

Will you call Lenin a traitor or worse a German spy as well for his decision? Will you dare say at that time that the Bolsheviks needed to be toppled as you are suggesting to Venezuela?

Well, she was an US activist that dedicated their life to social reform. While in Europe, Kelley joined the Germany Social Democratic Party and translated many of the party’s important works. Maybe, this is where she got to meet Engels.

Whenever I like a post or comment with good information, I always try to save it by clicking the star icon. That’s usually my main way to find information that I need later on.

As for the search in Lemmy, I always try to remember a keyword of the post/comment that I am looking for and/or the author of the post. With those two search points, it is easier to use the Lemmy search. The more you can narrow the search, the better it will be.

Regarding the Soviet Art, it may help to search for the community first(example https://lemmygrad.ml/c/socialist_art). Then, in the search bar to the right, enter a keyword that you remember from the post.

I really loved the dance and I also added more information about the company in c/Technology! It is so incredible that one user from lemmings.world called it AI slop due to their disbelief. -> https://lemmygrad.ml/post/10737578/7758345

At this rate, people like that user(probably a Westerner) will call AI slop to anything incredible coming out of China LOL

I think is this one -> https://lemmygrad.ml/post/10735406

Mexico. Trump even announced ground attacks 19 days ago 😞 -> https://lemmygrad.ml/post/10320303

Trump’s threatened a lot of them.

It is literally this meme. 🤣 🤣 🤣

As for China, there are some job offers that you could find in Rednote!

Thanks for the update! I really hope you make it!

Also, not sure if you already considered Belarus, but I have read that they offer help to fleeing ukranians. They even posted this small cartoon. The translation of the billboard using Google Lens(this is for those that don’t speak russians and if you speak russian please correct my translation if you find it faulty) is:

• ORDINARY UKRAINIANS FLEEING WAR! WE WELCOME YOU TO BELARUS! WE PROVIDE JOBS AND SOCIAL BENEFITS.

As for me, fortunately everything has been fine except for Trump threatening to invade my country.
