Rakesh Kumar @Rakeshhkumaar Follow Excerpt from The Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins (2020): The fourth way that anticommunist extermination programs shaped the world is that thev deformed the world socialist movement. Many of the globa eft-wing groups that did survive the twentieth century decided that they had to employ violence and iealously guard power or face annihilation. When thev saw the mass murders taking place in these countries. it changed them. Mavbe US citizens weren't paying close attentior to what happened in Guatemala, or ndonesia. But other leftists around the world definitely were watching. When the world's largest Communist Party without an army or dictatorial control of a country was massacred. one by one. with no consequences for the murderers, many people around the world drew lessons from this, with serious consequences This was another very difficult question

The British media and education system has been excellent at brainwashing the population into accepting a monarchy and believing it's the greatest country in the world. North Korea vibes to it all.
I note similarities between Sir Keir and Johnson include e.g. relentless lying and rules-fuckery, being stuffed shirts of fuck all, the public being given the hard sell by the press that they’re just what is required and at least a year of everyone pretending it’s all fine and nothing is fucked.
