  • The SPD, a party of social democrats and democratic socialists, had a fruitful period of cooperation with the KPD, the Communist party until the KPD received marching orders from their new boss in Moscow in 1928, the newly ascendant Stalin, to refuse to cooperate with the ‘social fascists’ of the SPD, under the bizarre notion that the Weimar Republic collapsing under the weight of the far-right would let the KPD smoothly assume power, as though the army and paramilitaries were already communist instead of, you know, conservative as fuck.

    This ignores the fact the fucking SPD and their goverment signed multiple secret agreements with the Soviets, and both worked to restart their arms industry, that was literally the entire deal of the Treaty of Rapallo. The SPD was made up of idiots who fucked up the treaty though. An interesting fact is that friedrich ebert’s son was a founding member of East Germany.




  • In 2019, former Colombian President Andrés Pastrana publicly confirmed that he traveled to Cuba in March 2003 aboard Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet, the “Lolita Express,” specifically to meet with Fidel Castro.

    Pastrana’s name appeared in 2003 flight manifests showing a journey from New Jersey to Florida and then to the Bahamas. While the final leg to Cuba was not officially recorded—likely to bypass U.S. travel restrictions—Pastrana confirmed they traveled from Nassau to Havana. He maintains that he was in Cuba to discuss a book he was writing about the Colombian peace process and that he had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities at the time. He has emphasized that he never visited Epstein’s private island, Little St. James.

    Maxwell testified that she and Pastrana “just became friends” because they were both helicopter pilots. She claimed Pastrana was the one who actually organized the trip to Cuba to meet Castro. One of the biggest controversies involves photos of Maxwell wearing a Colombian Air Force flight suit. Maxwell claimed she used the uniform while piloting a Blackhawk helicopter in Colombia and even alleged she “fired a rocket at a terrorist camp”.

    Extradited paramilitary leader Rodrigo Tovar Pupo (alias Jorge 40) stated that paramilitaries and drug dealers actively backed Pastrana’s candidacy in 1998. Reports from the time indicated that while the 1998 elections were generally transparent, they were marred by paramilitary intimidation and fraud in various regions to influence the outcome.












  • Can someone explain why this is happening?

    Boric fucked up really badly and Trump/Local Elites/Social Media have been financing and promoting right-wing ideology in South America in response to the fall of the 2010’s Conservative Wave, and the Second Pink Tide (which started with the election of AMLO in Mexico).

    are Chileans the gusanos of Latin America or are they just white people?

    Chileans can be based communists, cringe liberals or really weird chuds, but that is basically the same for all of Latin America. But the two most conservative countries in South America are Peru (which still do have a large left-wing presence which usually mix with some form of Peruvian nationalism thanks to Gen. Velasco’s influence who was basically South American Nasser/Pro-Soviet Social Democrat Dictator) and Paraguay (basically a dictatorship since ever, the country has been controlled by the right-wing faction of the Colorado party since the 1940s, and their main opposition is the left-wing faction within the Colorado Party, who are usually social democrats or socialist christians, and the Liberal Party).

    Chilean society is usually very progressive but their economy is really fucked, and it’s no wonder there are a lot of protests in there. Kast have been trying to become president for a while now, so most people knows who he is.






  • The context is that Andres Pastrena (former president of Colombia, right-wing, who has ties with the USA and is a POS) went on a trip with Epstein from the USA to the Bahamas. In the Bahamas, Fidel invited both to Cuba (this was in 2003, some days before this Cuba had arrested some spies as reported by Gusano media outlets, and Latin America had changed their views on Cuba, so it was common for right-wing politicians to visit there, specially with USian business people or actors, mostly to show opposition to Bush or because they liked Cuba). They arrived there, Epstein stayed for a day or two and left without Pastrena (as reported by Pastrena himself). Pastrena stayed in Cuba and talked with Fidel, and then left some days after this. Theres no proof that Fidel even talked with Epstein, he probably just wanted to talk with Pastrena and thought Epstein was just some random USian businessman.


  • Franco was a huge POS, but back then Spain did have a more independent foreign policy than most Western European States.

    In spite of Franco’s anticommunism, Cuba and Spain held diplomatic relations after Fidel Castro came into power and became Prime Minister of Cuba in 1959. When the United States decreed an embargo against Cuba in 1960 and 1962, its Latin American and European allies followed suit, however, Francisco Franco did not place an embargo on Cuba. American pressure against the Spanish embargo breach was deflected by the renegotiation of the American military bases in Spain in 1963.

    Both Castro’s father and Franco hailed from the rugged northern countryside of Spain, a region renowned for its fierce and stubborn citizenry. After Franco’s death, Cuba decreed three days of mourning. After the Spanish transition to democracy, Spanish Prime Minister Adolfo Suárez visited Cuba in 1978.

    Some people have pointed out that Spain only supported Cuba, because they wanted to have cordial relations with their former colonies, and because they wanted to get back at the USA for stealing these colonies from them during the American-Spanish War.
