The Americans are playing a pivotal role in some aspects," AU special envoy Francisco Madeira said on Saturday.
"They support us militarily, they support us with equipment, they support us with military advice, they support us even with intelligence and training," he told reporters at its launch ceremony in the South Sudanese capital Juba.
So it was, more or less, a way to sell arms to African countries in the name of peace
There are so many levels to this. First, not everyone in NYCDSA is an opportunist, but they are a minority. Second, education is piss poor in the US, critical thinking skills are abysmal, and red-scare tactics are very much so alive here. Many who engage in opportunism do not realize what they are doing so as they are simply uneducated and tailing "what works," which hasn't been explained outside of truisms. They fall for ideas of dual-power, reformism and revisionism because of this lack of education and a lack of framing Marxism as a science. However, if they were educated, many would be actual Marxists. DSA does have a framework for enforcing education and other leftist thought, and there have been successful changes to National DSA bylaws (like ones that remove barriers to Democratic Centralism). As with all dialectical processes, it takes time to build, but there will be a quantitative change.
If you are asking if anyone in DSA can run for a governmental position and say they are endorsed because they are In DSA, no, being in DSA is not an automatic endorsement.
They are being economically prevented from education, that is effectively barring them from a full education, which is a barring of education. If you don't think Higher education is necessary to escape the poverty level that would greatly prevent them from being reenslaved, you are misinformed. I don't think you understand how the US system functions, how it hides the function behind economical status.
You nor I said they were prevented from being taught to read, we are talking about education. Most Americans aren't literate fwiw, less so in imprisioned populations. They are denied a grant that allows them to access wages at or above living wage, greatly increasing the risk of them being reimprisioned. How do they pay for education if they are not adequately paid in prison, which also drains their bank accounts while in there? Most are already working poor before prison.
You didn't read too much into the link, here is an article that summarizes it for you. What matters is whether justice for abuse cases happen, not whether or not one can testify about it. Same outcome different method.
What are you trying to say here? That there's a substantial difference on which prison a person goes to?
Prisons force separation.
By saying that chattel slavery is the only real slavery, you are absolutely minimizing the horrors of today. I'm not saying that prison = chattel slavery, that is you trying to create a false equivalence to deny. I am saying that 5 on the slavery scale and 10 on the slavery scale are not 0 on the slavery scale.
We skipping the immigrants rights stone already?
