Going to be Alligator Auchwitz

Great, So you’ll join me in having an anti-imperialist stance so we don’t foment the most reactionary elements of a country.

While reactionary, it is the force that was resisting the occupation. Im sure the people that prefer them to a foreign occupier is higher than you think.

Maybe the Afghanis didn’t want to be a vassal state to the country that was invading them for 20 fucking years.

Crazy they don’t yearn for the boot.

God I hate these psuedo intellectual racist cunts.

Sounds anti-semetic. /s

I’m not thoroughly read up on theory and I’m not about to heavily defend the previous argument. I’m still not certain after reading in between replying here.

I don’t see why a centralized state can’t have more flattened power hierarchies, especially as needs and material conditions are improved.

Plenty of communists see a form of Anarchism as the goal endpoint, but realize the need for strong state power in the hands of workers to get there.

It’s capitalism.

Oil companies have known about this shit since the 70s and there’s been billions spent to manufacture your consent, keep the current power structures, and prevent change. Both parties maintain that status quo, don’t forget that.

And if people voted for the democrats, and they continued the genocide which I’m certain they would, they would be far more culpable.

Sorry, it’s a democracy. Threatening (or actually) withholding your vote is a valid tactic to get concessions. If that isn’t true, this isn’t a democracy (and I’d argue it already isn’t and hasn’t been but the theoretical one we understand).

That’s what you care about? 2 million people are being starved, bombed, and shot, and you’re bitching that people had a conscience not voting for the party perpetuating it? Maybe they could have done the bare fucking minimum and not full throatedly supported ethnic cleansing and genocide. Jesus christ man.

Zionism is an ideology, Jews are an ethnicity / religion.

Nazism is an ideology. Germans are an ethnicity.

Plenty of people can be nazis or zionist without being in the in-group explicitly, and vice versa.

Zionism is modern day fascism.
