(Text edited for Text to Speech.) News reports conflict. A news report alleged that a conflict, possibly violent, has been occurring in the world. A new news report reported that an event happened in China. Experts talked about Canada. Someone red about a problem on a blog. Someone red about social injustice on a blog. Twitter users talked about social equality and how to subvert advertisements. Twitter user criticized capitalism and how technology alienates us. Over a long conversation on Skype, the young adjunct explained to her grandmother how technology alienates and destroys us. The "report first, ask questions later" media asked the accused why he raped the victim. The "report first, ask questions later" media reported the US invasion of Iraq.

Excerpted from: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hoxha/works/1968/10/21.htm With these theories, with the dangers and damage they cause, you are better acquainted than we. ... in our opinion, Che Guevara was a man of fewer words. He was a rebel, a revolutionary, but not a Marxist-Leninist as they try to present him. I may be mistaken—you Latin-Americans are better acquainted with Che Guevara, but I think that he was a leftist fighter. His is a bourgeois and petty-bourgeois leftism, combined with some ideas that were progressive, but also anarchist which, in the final analysis, lead to adventurism. Che Guevara also had some "exclairicies" in his adoption of certain Marxist-Leninist principles, but they still did not become a full philosophical world-outlook which could impel him to genuinely revolutionary actions.

Excerpted from: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hoxha/works/1968/10/21.htm In Latin America, Castro ism, disguised as Marxism-Leninism, is leading people, even revolutionaries, into left adventurism. This trend appears to be in contradiction with modern revisionism. Those who are ideologically immature think thus, but it is not so. The Castro ites are not opposed to the modern revisionists. On the contrary, they are in their service. The separate courses each of them follows lead them to the same point.

Excerpted from: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hoxha/works/1968/10/21.htm Certain leaders of some Latin-American state put in the odd word in a veiled "opposition" to the Soviet Union, but we cannot infer from this that they are really opposed to it. Those words are only pressure and blackmail for the purpose of gaining some advantage, on the one hand, of deceiving the naive, on the other. If the advocates of these theories were to stop serving the Soviets in their imperialist-revisionist expansion, the latter would cut off all aid to them. We know the Soviets only too well. However, this will not occur, because they serve the Soviets admirably. This is why the Soviet revisionists continue to give them aid and keep them alive. It is the duty of all the Marxist-Leninists to expose this anti-Marxist trend, the advocates of which style themselves Marxist-Leninists and use Marxist terminology only as a disguise without which they would be lost. We must tear this disguise from them and this can be done only through organized struggle on the Marxist-Leninist course, as you comrades from Ecuador and others are doing.

Excerpted from: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/11387219/Who-is-Dieudonne-the-French-comedian-on-trial-for-condoning-the-Charlie-Hebdo-attacks.html "After this historic march, what do I say? Legendary. Instant magic equal to the Big Bang that created the universe; to a lesser extent (more locally) comparable to the coronation of Vercingétorix. I finally returned home. You know that tonight as far as I'm concerned I feel like Charlie Coulibaly." But critics argue that it is almost a perfect inversion of the Nazi salute calculated to evade accusations of actual fascism. Authorities have sought to ban the gesture after numerous incidents in which citizens or even soldiers were photographed making it outside synagogues, Holocaust memorials, and the Jewish school in Toulouse where three children and their teacher were murdered in 2012.

Another round of car bombings shook Columbia this week, officially making Columbia the most violent South American Ivy League. Columbia, Colombia. Protestors concerned about the campus gender violence epidemic claimed responsibility for the attacks. "The gender based terrorism, which Columbia supports, must be met with its own form of terrorism," a protestor said in an email to the judge.
