Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed by an Israeli-planted explosive device on July 31 in Tehran, Iran. Haniyeh was in Iran to attend the inauguration of the new president, Masoud Pezeshkia. Haniyeh had been heavily involved in diplomatic activity for some kind of ceasefire to partially pause the Israeli genocide in Gaza. I say partially because disease, hunger, and thirst will continue to take a toll even when the bombing stops. His murder occurred just weeks after Netanyahu, addressing Congress, received standing ovations as tens of thousands of demonstrators flooded the streets of Washington, D.C., demanding Netanyahu’s arrest.
Haniyeh’s murder shows that the Zionist entity wants to keep on bombing, a campaign that’s killed tens of thousands of Palestinians — many women and children — as long as they can get away with it. They aim to kill as many Gazans as possible while forcing the remainder to leave Palestine.
As they did last April, after the Israeli attacks on Iran’s embassy in Syria, Tehran promised retaliatory attacks. Unlike April’s response of largely demonstrative attacks, this time, they’ve hinted the attacks will cause real damage to Israel. So far (as of August 18, 2024), there have been no attacks while the diplomatic activity continues.
A Critique of Crisis Theory 
I’m a foreigner. Could you explain to me why the US economy has performed better under Democratic administrations since WWII?
I was watching some economists who call themselves ‘Marxists,’ and it’s so frustating:

They have no idea why the Fed raises interest rates or why inflation occurs. For them, it’s to cause unemployment, reduce wages, or intentionally sabotage the economy because the Fed is evil, and blah blah blah—it reaches the point of conspiracy theories. That’s what happens when you have the wrong theory of money; you get everything wrong. Now they’re calling for an authoritarian capitalist government like China because the banks are nationalized, as if this changes anything. They’re even calling to abolish the Fed and go back pre-1913 times, this is petty bourgeois reactionarism. This is why this blog is important: non-commodity money theory leads to reformism and fascism, it leads to defeat. So far, this is the only place that gets ‘Marxist economics’ right, that talks about gold. I try to share your blog as much as I can because it needs more views. It’s weird to know that 98.9% of Marxist economists(and 99.9% of bourgeois economists) don’t know what they’re talking about.
