Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly

Black Scare/Red Scare

By Charisse Burden-Stelly

In the early twentieth century, two panics emerged in the United States. The Black Scare was rooted in white Americans’ fear of Black Nationalism and dread at what social, economic, and political equality of Black people might entail. The Red Scare, sparked by communist uprisings abroad and subversion at home, established anticapitalism as a force capable of infiltrating and disrupting the American order. Black Scare / Red Scare, meticulously outlines the conjoined nature of these state-sanctioned panics, revealing how they unfolded together as the United States pursued capitalist domination. Antiradical repression, she shows, is inseparable from anti-Black oppression, and vice versa.

Beginning her account in 1917—the year of the Bolshevik Revolution, the East St. Louis Race Riot, and the Espionage Act—Black Scare/Red Scare traces the "longue durée" of these intertwined and mutually reinforcing phenomena. It theorizes two bases of the Black Scare/Red Scare: US Capitalist Racist Society, a racially hierarchical political economy built on exploitative labor relationships, and Wall Street Imperialism, the violent processes by which businesses and the US government structured domestic and foreign policies to consolidate capital and racial domination. In opposition, Radical Blackness embodied the government’s fear of both Black insurrection and Red instigation. The state’s actions and rhetoric therefore characterized Black anticapitalists as foreign, alien, and undesirable. This reactionary response led to an ideology that Burden-Stelly calls True Americanism, the belief that the best things about America were absolutely not Red and not Black, which were interchangeable threats.

Black Scare / Red Scare illuminates the anticommunist nature of the US and its governance, but also shines a light on a misunderstood tradition of struggle for Black liberation. It highlights the Black anticapitalist organizers working within and alongside the international communist movement and analyzes the ways the Black Scare/Red Scare reverberates through ongoing suppression of Black radical activism today. Drawing on a range of administrative, legal, and archival sources, the text incorporates emancipatory ideas from several disciplines to uncover novel insights into Black political minorities and their legacy.

It's thing of the past so why are you so obsessed with it?

Well maybe.
In terms of Soviet weaponry as opposed to Putin weaponry it certainly is.
But it's only nine years when we woke up one morning thinking commies had taken over.
But in the early hours of the morning Tsipras had doubled up - continued as a joke of a prime minister but cancelled the grexit.
Mitsotakis having proved himself a similar clown of unprecedented proportions is neither here nor there.
By contrast in the UK communism is over from before the wars maybe, but the Soviet nuclear threat existed up to the early eighties.
You don't remember the nuclear threat.
In 1980 thereabouts Reagan and Brezhnev were confronting each other. Reagan called the Soviet Union an empire of evil.
Those days there was a big earthquake here. As I was walking on the street I did n't feel so much of a tremour as I heard noise and saw lightning effects.
I was sure it was the bomb until some passers by told me it was earhquake. 
The Cuban crisis too you don't remember. My father tuned in to Bucharest who were broadcasting in Greek and they were saying "imperialists you
will burn like candles in a few hours".

Commies are idiots.
Maduro fixed the election but he is not releasing the results - except the announcement he made that he won.
Why ?
If he fixed it then he should have the analytical results of the fix somewhere and just give them to us.
But his cronies are idiots.
They did not allow representatives of the opposition to be present in 70% of the polling stations (so this is how the fraud was done).
But in the remaining 30% representatives were present and the votes were counted properly.
Now the fools obviously don't remember which polling station was in the 70% and which polling station was in the 30%.

The software can be bugged easily.
One method:

Loop

identify vote

if vote = trump then x = rnd: if x > 0.9 then vote = biden

select case vote
case is = trump
trumpcount = trumpcount + 1
case else
bidencount = bidencount + 1
end select

repeat loop

In this way I have stolen 10% of Trump's votes.

I remember when my country tried to use our tax dollars to pay for that Harvard prick Leopoldo Lopez to go down there and overthrow him....and he failed when we all realized Venezuelans werent like the stereotype we had of the third world, sitting around waiting for a European savior to come save them from themselves.

I don't know who paid this bloke but how can you overthrow someone who has the army with him ?
You have the army, you "overthrow". You don't have, you don't.
When Gorbatchev was overthrown he was overthrown for one day. But the red army sent a message to the Kremlin "count us out".
The Venezuelans themselves can do nothing. There are many trees and they vote for Maduro.

Maduro cannot be such a fool as to have discrepant election results in his hands and refusing to publish.
What is afraid of is the huge difference between polling station attended by representatives and polling stations where it was forbidden.
For example 70-30 in polling stations of type 1 and 30-70 in the polling stations of type 2.

Red Star football clubs

 

Red Star Football Club, also known simply as Red Star (French pronunciation: [ʁɛd staʁ futbɔl klœb]), is a French football club founded in Paris in 1897, and is the fourth oldest French football club, after Standard AC of Paris,^[2] Le Havre AC and Girondins de Bordeaux. As of the 2024–25 season, Red Star competes in the Ligue 2, the French second tier, after being promoted from Championnat National at the end of the 2023–24 season. The club plays its home matches at Stade Bauer.^[3]

Despite the club's long spell under a semi-pro status, Red Star has a rich history. The club was founded in 1897 under the name Red Star Club Français by French football legend Jules Rimet. Rimet later went on to serve as president of both the French Football Federation and FIFA. The original FIFA World Cup Trophy was named in his honour. Red Star was one of the founding member clubs of Ligue 1 and has spent 19 seasons in the first division; the club's last top tier stint being in 1974–75. In cup competitions, the club has won five Coupe de France titles, which is tied for fifth-best among all French clubs.

While the club have enjoyed only modest success on the field, the club is widely recognised for its distinctive social culture. Red Star supporters are strongly identified with their support of left-wing politics, social activism and a party atmosphere they create at the club's matches.^[4]

The club was purchased by US-based private investment firm 777 Partners in May 2022, a move which saw demonstrations from fans leading to the postponement of a Championnat National match in April 2022.

Red Star Football Club was founded on 21 February 1897 in a Parisian café by Jules Rimet and Ernest Weber under the name Red Star Club Français. The derivation of the name is uncertain; it is possibly taken from the red star of Buffalo Bill or possibly in reference to Miss Jenny, a British governess based in Paris who was adopted as the godmother of the club, who recommended the club be named after the historic shipping line, the Red Star Line.^[7] Upon its creation, Rimet installed Jean de Piessac as club president and one of his younger brothers as club secretary. The club was officially inaugurated on 12 March 1897 after Rimet signed the club's statutes and sent them to the USFSA, which, during this time, served as the head of French football. Members of the club were required to pay ₣100 a month to help the club meet its daily quota. Red Star officially joined the USFSA in 1898 and was inserted into the third-tier of the association's football league system. In the club's infancy, the team played in navy blue and white at the Champ de Mars. However, soon after, Red Star moved to Meudon playing on a terrace overlooking the Seine Valley.^[8] Midway through the year, de Piessac left his post as club president. Rimet quickly succeeded him and, by 1904, Red Star were playing in the first division of the USFSA league.^[9]

 

Red Star Belgrade

 

Fudbalski klub Crvena zvezda (Serbian Cyrillic: Фудбалски клуб Црвена звезда, lit. 'Red Star Football Club'), commonly referred to as Crvena zvezda (pronounced [tsř̩ʋenaː zʋěːzda]) or simply Zvezda, and as Red Star Belgrade in Anglophone media, is a Serbian professional football club based in Belgrade, and a major part of the Red Star multi-sport society.

They are the most successful club from the Balkans and Southeast Europe, being the only club to have won both the European Cup and Intercontinental Cup, having done so in 1991, and only the second team from Eastern Europe to win the European Cup. With 35 national championships, 28 national cups, 2 national supercups, 2 national champions leagues and one league cup between Serbian and Yugoslav competitions, Red Star was the most successful club in Yugoslavia and finished first in the Yugoslav First League all-time table, and is the most successful club in Serbia. Since the 1991–92 season, Red Star's best results were reaching the UEFA Champions League group stage, the UEFA Europa League round of 16 and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup round of 16.

According to 2008 polls, Red Star Belgrade is the most popular football club in Serbia, with 48% of the population supporting them.^[2] They have many supporters in other former Yugoslav countries and among the Serbian diaspora. Their main rivals are fellow Belgrade side Partizan. The championship matches between these two clubs are known as the "eternal derby".

According to the International Federation of Football History & Statistics' list of the Top 200 European clubs of the 20th century, Red Star is the highest-ranked Serbian and Balkan club, sharing the 27th position on the list with Dutch club Feyenoord.

History

Main article: History of Red Star Belgrade

Yugoslavia and Serbia-Montenegro period

[edit]

In February 1945, during World War II, a group of young men, active players, students and members of the Serbian United Antifascist Youth League, decided to form a Youth Physical Culture Society, that was to become Red Star Belgrade on 4 March. Previously, as of December 1944, all pre-war Serbian clubs were abolished, and on 5 May 1945, communist Secretary of Sports Mitra Mitrović-Djilas signed the decree dissolving formally all pre-war clubs on the territory of Socialist Republic of Serbia. The clubs were dissolved because during the German occupation, there was an attempt to organize the league so all the clubs were labelled collaborators by Josip Broz Tito's communist regime.

The name Red Star was assigned after a long discussion. Other ideas shortlisted by the delegates included "People's Star", "Blue Star", "Proleter", "Stalin", "Lenin", etc.^[3] The initial vice presidents of the Sport Society – Zoran Žujović and Slobodan Ćosić – were the ones who assigned it.^[4] Red Star was soon adopted as a symbol of Serbian nationalism within Yugoslavia and a sporting institution which remains the country's most popular to this day.^[5] On that day, Red Star played the first football match in the club's history against the First Battalion of the Second Brigade of KNOJ (People's Defence Corps of Yugoslavia) and won 3–0.

The world is coming to an end:

- Trump
- Brexit
- Lepen
- Tunberg
- Mitsotakis
- Orban presiding over the EU
- ...

When was the day zero and who was responsible for day zero ?
The day zero was in 2006 when the euroconsitution was downvoted.
Responsible is the left and not the right who polled 1.8% those days (Lepen 20% in France).

Even tho the article is about trump/Harris, my question is about BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cv2g22365yqo

Do they usually run articles with pieces with such blatant false-equivalency? I mean the actual facts is pretty clear, and I don't anyone does not know what Fox News is in relation to Trump. So, the headline itself seems pretty dishonest.
