Bulletins and News Discussion from February 3rd to February 9th, 2025 - Fuhrer Failsons

Image is of Elon Musk giving the Nazi salute a week or so ago.

I didn't really want to keep spotlighting American domestic events as I had assumed that shit would calm down pretty quickly, but it appears that the Trump administration, including Musk, are determined to bring down the empire from the inside.

One of the most important lessons of ruling a country - and especially an empire - is to never, ever believe your own propaganda; and yet now we have neo-Nazi failsons disrupting parts of the imperial apparatus and causing general government mayhem because they actually seem to believe in libertarianism; that the state and the capitalists are somehow in opposition, rather than working in lockstep to maximise profit and boost American hegemony around the world.

I'm not so optimistic as to believe that a national collapse is FOUR DAYS AWAY, like those weird anti-China cranks often speculate - the US has at least a decade or two left even under these conditions. But consider the damage being inflicted in these past couple weeks, and extrapolate that over the next four years. Does any living American political figure possess the competency to halt - or even meaningfully slow - the already ongoing decline? And could they achieve power (or even be allowed to do so) after Trump's term is done?

Last week's thread is here. The Imperialism Reading Group is here.

  • Presidential Elections in Ecuador today, we'll see if the correistas will win, or if the dictator wannabe failson Noboa will win.

    • Last election in 2021 Pachakutik got 3rd place only behind like .5% from the 2nd place neolib party, so we could see the indigenous supported Pachakutik vs the correistas for the 2nd round

      • The guy they ran in 2021 left the party and the guy they're running now is polling in the single digits. I think the only real question is whether the correista or right wing candidate wins it in this first round or whether it's going to a second round between the 2 of them.

        • Theres another problem in Ecuador, theres an internal fight between Veronika (Noboa's VP, Far-Fight) and President Failson Noboa. The Supreme Court and Correistas want Veronika to assume the presidency, while Noboa wants a puppet of his to take the presidency during the second round. This political instability could be bad for the Right-Wing, but we'll see how this will end since Noboa is astroturfing social media with fake news.
