Difference between capitalist states' treatment of nazis and that of the socialists is that the capitalists kept them in positions of power — since the prevalence of fascism means the capitalist class can more easily scapegoat marginalized people for capitalism's faults — while the Soviets used them as reparations for the millions of Soviets the nazis killed, then left the nazis to rot afterward as they should — because fascism is actually a threat to socialist states.

Chinese investment in Brazil’s EV and electricity sector soars, says report in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

Left-leaning governments specially in former colonies generally means more cooperation with Global South countries. While right wing ones lead to the opposite as we can see in Argentina right now with Milei.

Twitter is completely infested with nazis and far-right misinformation campaigns; even more so since Elon bought it. Banning it doesn't do much about the Brazilian right wing, but it does separate Brazilians from the american right wing somewhat, since Brazil makes/made up a third of Twitter users.

If it's similar to most of the other BRI projects, Tanzania and Zambia get railways, Chinese workers get jobs, more expertise in the field, and China gets access to healthier/wealthier markets in the two countries.

In many cases, the West German government actually had more nazis after WW2 than during the Third Reich

Fully 77 percent of senior ministry officials in 1957 were former members of Adolf Hitler's Nazi party, a higher proportion even than during the 1933-45 Third Reich, the study found.

From 1949 to 1973, 90 of the 170 leading lawyers and judges in the then-West German Justice Ministry had been members of the Nazi Party.

Of those 90 officials, 34 had been members of the Sturmabteilung (SA), Nazi Party paramilitaries who aided Hitler's rise and took part in Kristallnacht, a night of violence that is believed to have left 91 Jewish people dead.

Might as well vote for the PSL or Green if you happen to be free on election day. Just don't waste your time defending the two genocidal capitalist parties. Spend it organizing and taking direct action.

For the left, electoralism is only good for some advertising. A capitalist system won't let socialists come to power even if they somehow manage to win like we're seeing in France with Macron right now. Liberals will side with fascists long before they ever think about looking left, as they always have historically.

It’s also one of israel’s primary trading partners, despite its pro-Palestinian rhetoric.

Turkey halted its trade with israel in May of this year. Only due to internal pressure most likely — and far too late — but better than nothing, and it is another sign that the country is looking more and more towards the rising east than the declining west even under Erdogan.

UN votes to back Palestinian membership, prompting Israeli envoy to shred charter (www.theguardian.com)
 

The UN general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to back the Palestinian bid for full UN membership, in a move that signalled Israel’s growing isolation on the world stage amid global alarm over the war in Gaza and the extent of the humanitarian crisis in the strip. The move drew an immediate rebuke from Israel. Its envoy to the UN, Gilad Erdan, delivered a fiery denunciation of the resolution and its backers before the vote, and fed pages of the UN charter into a shredder. The Palestinian envoy, Riyad Mansour, highlighted that the vote was being held at a time when Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city that is the last haven for many people, faced attack from Israeli forces

Turkey Halts All Trade With Israel Over War in Gaza (www.bloomberg.com)
 
  • Trade between the two countries was worth $6.8 billion in 2023

Turkey stopped all trade with Israel as of Thursday, according to two Turkish officials familiar with the matter, adding to already high-running tensions between the once-close allies over the war in Gaza.

The move expands last month’s restriction on some Turkish exports to Israel, as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan steps up criticism of the Jewish state and tries to consolidate support among conservative voters at home.

Ankara hasn’t formally announced the suspension and it wasn’t clear under what conditions trade would resume. Trade between the countries was worth $6.8 billion in 2023, of which 76% was Turkish exports, according to the Turkish statistical institute.

The move came a day after Turkey announced plans to join South Africa’s case at the United Nations’ highest court as a plaintiff accusing Israel of committing genocide in the Palestinian territory.

Erdogan hosted Hamas’s political leader in Istanbul on April 20, calling for immediate aid to Gaza.
