Black Panthers Vs Local Pimps

"Because our community center was near the 'Ho Stroll", many of the prostitutes took refuge in our office when the police came down on them. Sometimes, at the request of mothers, we went out in search of their daughters on the streets of Seattle or at pimps' houses, on occasion pimps kidnapped young women and sent them to Utah to break them in. One day a couple of the comrade sisters came in from selling papers and told us they had been harassed by some pimps, so we sent a squad to the apartment where the pimps lived. The comrades kicked down the door and administered some revolutionary justice.

About a week later, we held a fundraising dance to benefit the medical clinic. Toward the end of the event, Elmer, Anthony, Jake Fidler and Valentine were doing a security check of the perimeter when Valentine spotted a young girl sitting in a gold Cadillac, crying, while a pimp with a big floppy hat sat at the wheel. Valentine leaned in and asked the girl what was wrong. He got into the car as she scooted over. "He won't let me leave", she said quietly. "You want to leave, you can leave", responded Valentine. "He won't do anything - watch." Valentine said, taking out his knife and beginning to slice up the leather interior of the car. The pimp showed no reaction because Elmer, on the other side, had a 9mm pointed at his head. Valentine took the girl home to her mother.

The next day, five Cadillacs of various colors pulled up to the community center. James Redman, Valentine, and I met them as they pulled up. We exchanged words as they voiced their anger at our interventions. I advised them to look up at the office windows, where they saw some heavy artillery looking down at them. They took off. Shortly afterwards, the troublesome pimps moved to Tacoma.

In addition to strengthening our ties with the community, we also worked to solidify our relationships with other organizations. The Communist Party in Seattle had helped us to fortify the office, and our two organizations came together to develop a secret underground passage to Canada for revolutionaries or draft dodgers needing to get out of the country. It consisted of safe houses on both sides of the border, drivers to take the refugees to the designated location, and a contact to take them across the border. Using this passage, we managed to smuggle several draft dodgers into Canada. It was a great safety valve that we never had to use for BPP members."

Just to clarify, the radio event is at 21:00 CET today. What I plan is to hold these weekly should interest exist, in which case, it would be on Thursdays instead.

Anti-HIV PrEP remains $2000/month in the US, two years on from generic FDA approval. In Cuba it’s now free:
In March 2019 Cuba began a pilot scheme to supply the only effective HIV prevention drug PrEP (pre-exposure prophylactic) free of charge to those in need. Following on from their successful 2015 drive to completely eradicate HIV and syphilis transmission in utero, Cuba’s National Centre for Sex Education began a program in conjunction with the Pan-American Health Organisation (PAHO) to distribute the drug for free.

The Long Game and Its Contradictions:
China has overcome colonial oppression, emerged from “100 years of humiliation”, and is now developing its socialist power on the world stage. Through mutually beneficial relationships and a policy of peaceful co-existence, China under the leadership of the Communist Party is actively assisting in the independent economic development of the over-exploited nations of the Global South, eliminating the primary contradiction of our age — inter-continental inequality. Alleviating poverty, promoting trade and learning, and building alliances based on respect and cooperation, the aim is to displace Western hegemony, break imperialist cycles of violence, end capitalist domination, and pave the road toward global communism.

As per this viewpoint of the role and nature of modern China’s nature, which I disagree with, where does China buying out Piraeus, and COSCO, a state Chinese company, being detrimental to the workers there and enforcing horrible working conditions, doing exactly what any other company of any other state would in their place, fall in? Is it another of the contradictions, among the many others?
Because imo, it makes sense from a capitalist perspective and it makes sense from a geopolitical perspective of a modern Great Power working on expanding influence, following the example of the other Great Powers of the world. But from how I see it, not from a socialist perspective.

Here's a somewhat last-minute reminder because I've been busy with real-world duties, but today at 21:00 CET, or in ca. 45 minutes there will be a radio event. You can join the Discord server where this will take place via the following link: https://discord.gg/UbqFnM

What actually happened to the Internationale? I've been gone for more than a year.

In a masterfully designed agitprop program to demonstrate to the world that socialism/communism/anarchism/etc. is a source of unbridled joy, we have been doing a hop, skip, and a jump around... Jump around! Jump around! Jump up, jump up, and get down! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XhzpxjuwZy0

Excellent news, everyone: We have successfully refounded our home region of The Internationale. As such, we can now move back to our original region. I would here like to thank Zulanka for allowing us to stay in Grenada for the duration of our time outside of TI.

Hurrah our Long March is a victory.
