“The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative.” - Malcolm X
Liberals’ reaction to the genocide in Gaza has shown once again how true this is.
Their “support” for Palestinians only extends to what is legal, and thus completely meaningless, in the countries committing the genocide (mainly the US, israel, UK, Germany). No support for armed and violent resistance, and in some cases like for this idiot not even some fucking protests because they break something as meaningless as the law in those countries.
After Israel killed seven aid workers in Gaza, the US says it has not found any incidents of Israel violating international humanitarian law in the past six months. An Al Jazeera probe concluded the World Central Kitchen vehicles were deliberately hit.
Pretty clear neither of these imperialists give a fuck about the people, and only care about its effects on the election. Reps make a big deal out of nothing to use against dems, and dems concede to them.
You’re literally quoting a comment where I rightfully disapprove of what the then Russian leaders and traitors did, ignoring their own laws at that.
Gorbachev and his western capitalist friends’ illegal dissolution of the USSR and forced change to capitalism was opposed by over 90% of the population, and was a disaster that the former Soviet states still haven’t fully recovered from 33 years later.
It resulted in wealth being transferred from the working class to the capitalists (which was the entire point of course).
Basically, everything you’d expect to happen from a Socialist union being forced to become capitalist, happened.
Not to mention the global impact of post-Soviet states, now controlled by capitalists, no longer wanting to oppose imperialism on the world stage. If the USSR wasn’t illegally dissolutioned, they would continue to fund Vietnam, the NATO invasion of Libya would be thwarted, the numerous US-backed coups in Africa would be defended against, and the ongoing genocide in Palestine would be strongly opposed, as the USSR was already the largest funder of Palestine’s PFLP.
And of course, as I mentioned in the comment you quoted, the christfascists and nationalists would have been kept in check like they were in the USSR.
tankies
Meaningless term; it’s “woke” but used against communists and scientific socialists instead of socially progressive libs. Nice way to shut down discussion about economic inequality like how chuds use “woke” to shut down those for social inequality. Sounds cool tho
and they hate when you expose them.
“Lemmy Tankie EXPOSED (Gone Wrong)” lmao
No I don’t mind you asking about stuff you’re confused about so long as you do it in good faith, which this might not be ig.
Your anti-USSR bias comes from the decades of anti-communist and red scare propaganda in the imperial core.
Also, do you not agree with my statement that the christfascist church’s influence has increased far too much because of the illegal dissolution of the USSR? I’d think anyone with common sense would support keeping the right wingers and their regressive ideologies in check.
