DO NOT COME TO USA FOR #FIFA2026.

most of the cities are in fascist #MAGA #Republican states that give free reign to #ICE #blackshirts. doesn't matter if you are orange colored like Trump: your life is in danger.

if you must do #FIFA2026 book tickets for Canada and Mexico, not USA.

this also applies for #2028Olympics. even though they are in Los Angeles, boycott any international event as long as Republicans and this fascist regime are in power.

Book Report: Blackshirts & Reds by Parenti

Blackshirts: Fascists / Nazis
Reds: Socialists / Communists

This is the first book by Michael Parenti that I've ever read, and I really enjoyed it. It has many facts and references, and covers the rise of the popularity of capitalism within the USSR, the propaganda about the USSR, including stories about gulags, and addresses problems with the USSR, including problems in resource allocation planning. It covers the effects of the fall of the USSR on Eastern European countries when the capitalists took over, including devastating wealth inequality and poverty.

I've ordered "Against Empire" as my next book from Parenti because I enjoyed this book so much.

Book: Blackshirts and Reds — The Michael Parenti Political Archive

The Michael Parenti Political Archive

On this day, 101 years ago

#BenitoMussolini made a pivotal speech in the #Italian Chamber of Deputies. He took personal responsibility for the actions of his #Blackshirts, challenged his political opponents to remove him from office and then promised to take charge of restoring order to #Italy within forty-eight hours. #Historians now trace this speech to the beginning of #Mussolini's #dictatorship.

If the #DailyMail backs #ReformUK at the next UK election, it will be the first time it hasn't supported the #ConservativeParty since it came out in favour of #OswaldMosley's #BritishUnionOfFascists #Blackshirts in the 1930s. #ukpol

The Daily Mail's owner in the 1930s was Harold Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Rothermere. He met with Adolf Hitler on several occasions during the 1930s

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1922, #BenitoMussolini's #Blackshirts marched on Rome in a show of force and intimidation. The prime minister was not allowed use of the army to stop them; instead the king put #Mussolini in charge. Élites think they can control #fascists and never learn.
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1936, #antifascists & #communists challenged #OswaldMosley and his #blackshirts in Leeds at the #BattleOfHolbeckMoor. Hearing the #fascist demagogue and 1000 of his terrorist thugs would rally, 30,000 #antifa showed up to shout them down and throw punches.

After the presidential election, a leader of the Texas chapter of the Three Percenters, a militia group, reportedly wrote to Trump to offer manpower in enacting mass deportations. But ICE and other federal agencies are engaging in forceful action against immigrants backed by the state in a way that surpasses what the Oath Keepers or the Proud Boys could ever do. ICE agents, not far-right militias, are the ones who have smashed through car windows, thrown people into unmarked vans, and detained them indefinitely.

Where Have the Proud Boys Gone?

The Trump administration has left them with little to do.

On this day in 1962, Oswald Mosley and his British Union of Fascists got the Manchester welcome they so richly deserved.

#Policing in America is organized brutality. In general, #police are best understood as a violent gang with state sanction, more akin to the #BlackShirts or #BrownShirts than to any legitimate community & public safety body. We should #AbolishThePolice. This is William McNeil Jr, and he was stopped in Jacksonville, FL, for allegedly not having his headlights on. He asked, "Why was I stopped?", and got this... in broad daylight, mind you. He received a concussion and needed stitches on his face.
