Welcome back to The Anti Social Socialist, the only place where we tell the truth while the billionaire pigs try to bury it under a mountain of lies and fake news. My name is NodeZ3r0, and if you have thirty seconds to waste before you go back to being a slave to your job, listen up because we have got a lot of meat on the bone today. This is punk rock anti-fascist radio, and we are not here to play nice with a fascist machine that wants to burn your house down. Let's dive right in because the world is burning and the American media is selling you tickets to watch it happen while they load the gun. Let's start with ScheerPost, who is reporting on what's left of The New School, because if you thought the New York University you knew was safe, think again. This is a progressive university founded in 1919 by faculty protesting the censorship of speech criticizing the First World War, and now they are under attack from the very people they were supposed to be protecting. The workforce cuts, the executive power grabs, the assault on tenure—this is authoritarian management spreading far beyond Washington, D.C., and it is terrifying. Jeremy Varon at Dissent is calling it out, and he is right because this is not about education, this is about control. The New School used to be a beacon of free thought, a place where you could say what the government didn't want you to hear, and now they are turning it into a corporate plantation where the owners decide who gets to speak and who gets fired for breathing too loudly. They are selling out to the highest bidder, and the professors are just pawns in a game of political chess played by people who think they own the world. This is not democracy, this is a fascist machine wearing a suit and tie, pretending to care about your future while they sell your dreams to a shadowy boardroom in Delaware. And let me tell you, the boardroom in Delaware does not care about your child, they care about the quarterly profit margins. This is the real agenda, and it is disgusting. Moving on to Asia, the South China Morning Post is reporting on a different kind of fraud at ParknShop, and it is a stark reminder of how capitalism eats its own. Five former employees of the Hong Kong supermarket chain and its contractors have pleaded guilty to fraud by falsifying workers' attendance records to cheat the retail giant out of 408,000 US dollars. The Independent Commission Against Corruption investigated and found that these motherfuckers colluded with contractor staff over two years to deceive ParknShop by falsifying the attendance records of 13 warehouse workers. But here is the kicker, and this is where the system exposes itself. Why would workers lie to get paid if the system is rigged anyway? The answer is simple: the bosses don't pay you for the hours you work, they pay you for the hours you clock in, and if you clock in when you are at home, you get the money. But who is really getting fucked over? It is the workers who get cheated in both scenarios. When the workers cheat, the bosses walk away with a few hundred thousand dollars of stolen cash, and when the bosses cheat the workers, they walk away with millions more. It is a circle of hell, and the only thing that changes is who is holding the whip. The retail giant, the capitalist leviathan, does not give a fuck about the workers stealing from them, and they definitely do not give a fuck about the workers being cheated by them. This is the nature of the beast, and it is time we stopped pretending it is just a misunderstanding or a mistake. It is a feature, not a bug, of the system. The South China Morning Post is right to expose this, because as long as we hide the truth, the workers will never win. Here is where it gets wild because we switch gears to the international stage, and The Guardian World is reporting on the US and Venezuela, a relationship that has been drenched in oil for a century. The US Department of State memo from the middle of the last century says it all: the glue that binds Washington to Caracas is oil, and always has been. Trump allies are defending a Venezuela oil deal amid criticism of gunpoint diplomacy, and a Nobel laureate is calling the Venezuela regime illegitimate. This is not about democracy, this is about resources. The US uses its power to dictate who can drill and who cannot, who can sell and who cannot buy. It is a game show host pulling the strings behind the curtain, and the audience is made up of people who have no idea what is happening. The Guardian World is showing us the visual look at this century-old relationship, and it is a mess of greed and manipulation. The US says it cares about human rights, but it does not care about human rights when there is a barrel of oil on the line. It is a hypocritical lie, and it is a lie that keeps the poor suffering while the rich get richer. This is the realpolitik of the capitalist world, and it is disgusting. Now check this out because the situation is escalating in the South Atlantic. The Middle East Eye is reporting that Argentina is threatening oil firms with sanctions as the Falkland Islands dispute intensifies. President Javier Milei is the one pulling the trigger, and he is citing Trump's threat to change position on the islands over the UK's lack of support for war on Iran. This is a geopolitical chess match, and the pieces are human lives. The Middle East Eye is saying that Argentina is taking a stance on sovereignty, and they are willing to sanction the oil companies drilling in the Falklands. This could escalate tensions with London, and the world is watching. The Middle East Eye is reporting that Milei is delivering a speech, and the speech is about national pride and economic independence. But what is the real story? The real story is that the UK wants to keep the oil, and the US wants to keep the oil, and the people who live there just want to be left alone. This is the tragedy of the modern world, where nations are pawns in a game played by people who think they are gods. The Middle East Eye is giving us the facts, and the facts are scary. And then there is this gem from Mexico News Daily, and it is a story about identity and belonging. They are talking about the "Soy México" program, which provides help for Mexicans born in the US but without official documents verifying their dual nationality. Baja California has a large foreign-born population and daily cross-border traffic can create headaches for these people. The Mexico News Daily is reporting that there is help available, but the help is limited, and the bureaucracy is a nightmare. Born in the USA to a Mexican parent, and you are stuck in limbo, unable to prove who you are. The Mexico News Daily ... [Full transcript at asscast.org]</description>
