You’re fine as far as I’m concerned. There’s a bit of tone policing and lesser evilism going on in this thread. I think it’s fine to get angry at western white complicity given the times, especially if you’re from the global south, and to express that anger. Truth is, a lot of “liberal left” ideology is based on white supremacy, the saviour complex etc, even if they dont say the quiet part out loud. Getting sick of it and going, “no, you’re the lesser people!” is understandable, IMHO.

You mean they are attacking socialists for having sex with communists? Nah sorry I think that’s a stretch.

Can I attack the person if they’re social fascist?

No sorry I think you’re confused, I added a Wikipedia link for context to my previous reply. I don’t think that character was meant to be female or feminist, I think it’s just a character claiming to be a socialist while hating communists so much they applaud literal Nazi anti-communist wich hunts, something we see a lot currently with western lib “left”

The one saying “yes please” to “first they came for communists” while claiming to be a real socialist? It’s the only one that might look like eyeliner although I thought it’s just a smug expression.

How is cheering on Nazis coming for communists not on the same level of shittiness as the rest? Also how is dunking on that puritanical or misogynistic?

Which one? None of them looks expressly feminine to me…

The federalism of Yugoslavia and the national policies of the USSR both failed and led to fratricidal wars.

Are we blaming AES now for the shit that happened after they collapsed and got replaced by capitalist states?

Yugoslavia and USSR both ultimately failed and collapsed, that much is true. I believe they could’ve survived if they formed a strong alliance, including China.

But the federalism of Yugoslavia and the national policies of the USSR were both incredibly successful in squashing ethnic tensions. People lived peacefully and most would never think fratricidal wars are even possible anymore.

At least with the USSR, I think things would be much improved if initiatives like korenizatsiya, zhenotdel etc were not abandoned.

I think it wasn’t so much rivalry as a side effect of the Sino-Soviet split, Vietnam didn’t want to cut ties with the USSR so China supported Cambodia against them.

Same reason China supported jihadists in Afghanistan really. What came out of it was the fall of the USSR (Afghan war wasn’t the only or even main cause but a major one for sure), and China ended up with an extremist state on their borders which exported terrorism into Xinjiang, and the rest is history.

The immense misery of both China and post Soviet peoples in the 90s could probably be avoided if Sino-Soviet split didn’t happen, if they worked together against religious extremists and counter-revolutionaries.

And if the Tito-Stalin split also didn’t happen…

That the rate of exploitation is higher in the West? That’s his argument against unequal exchange, it was some YT video but I can’t watch YT right now, away from home.

He also repeatedly calls sex workers “wh___s” in his writings. And argues that Western workers are exploited to a higher rate than those in the global South.

you asked “What does this add to discussion?” what discussion? it’s just a meme.

of course China under the CPC is the most peaceful powerful nation in history and USA is the most warlike but that AI pic made my stomach turn so I commented on that

it’s just a meme

did it have to be AI slop tho

No, I read about them but didn’t try going through the actual files myself.

It’s pretty meaningless and unserious though. By “globalist” they probably meant neoliberal globalization which is basically the current stage of imperialism.

but you’re fine with “satanic”?

omg i understand nothing of this 😭 is this the official Ukraine govt account celebrating the death of Khamenei? that would track but why is there a picture of some sports team? whos the circled guy?

Yeah but is that defecting or just relocating?

Defect where? If you defected to the USSR as a nazi war criminal you’d have a bad time. I hope if any IDF butchers defect to Iran they get what they deserve.

His supporters are still handing out flyers claiming he was framed by the state for being a Marxist, I got one at the last national demo for Palestine in London.
