"We sent them a lot of guns. We sent them through the Kurds. And I think the Kurds kept them," Trump said.

"We sent guns to the protesters, a lot of them. And I think the Kurds took the guns," he added.

Sorry to break it to you bro, you're not getting that $7,000 💔

This thread is explicitly about imperialist backing in the recent protests, not just protests in general. We weren't talking about the kurdish conflict or anything, so it's weird for your original comment to mock people for correctly accusing heavy foreign involvement.

My top comment was snark-ish, so I'll elaborate my real positions here:

I think many of the protestors are real, and unrest is not fully foreign. More specifically, they are protesting about heavy economic turmoil and internal repression. The latter is definitely real and I do not deny that, and so is the former. But a large part of the economic struggle in Iran is imposed by heavy sanctions and wars (this war already happened last year!) by the US and Israel, to overthrow the state for their own interests. US using sanctions in this way is documented in many countries, and they are using the natural unrest, throwing oil in the fire by both waging more war and strangling the economy further. Their goal is to overthrow the state and either install a western-friendly state that sells away its natural resources at the expense of their people, or another Libya. Iran is the only nation in the region actively resisting Israeli-American bloodthirst, and have been dreaming of this war for decades.

Overthrowing Iran (at least, now) would serve Israel/American imperialism, and would leave Israel unopposed to butcher the north of the region freely. Reality is not neatly isolated into compartments, something like this would have consequences and US/Israeli would rabidly seize the opportunity.

Hope that made sense

US taking its mask off:

And those that haven't, have been thrown onto the shoulders of the global south for them to suffer and be robbed. Capitalism has never worked.

The proletariat is the majority in most if not all societies, arguing the dictatorship of the proletariat is undemocratic merely because the word "dictatorship" doesn't make sense. Democracy is [ideally, not what it is in practice] is a dictatorship of the majority, and the proletariat are the majority, surely you see how saying democracy is undemocratic makes no sense.

States are instruments of oppression weilded by classes, they are all "dictatorships" in the sense that a class oppresses the other; the question in state is, is it the capitalists oppressing the working class, or the other way around

Justice for Libya. May she burn in the hell she helped create

I just finished reading this article today a few hours ago! it felt like such an eerily perfect dissection of liberals it is incredible impressive, it doesn't reduce their annoyance but it does provide an easier way to deal with it

These are all the flags of a local communist party, though. Where are the Chinese flags?

Churchill was the proto-redditor

Stalin proposed executing 50,000 to 100,000 German officers so that Germany could not plan another war. Roosevelt, believing that Stalin was not serious, joked that "maybe 49,000 would be enough."[17] Churchill, however, was outraged and denounced "the cold-blooded execution of soldiers who fought for their country." He said that only war criminals should be put on trial in accordance with the Moscow Document, which he had written. He stormed out of the room but was brought back in by Stalin, who said he was joking. Churchill was glad Stalin had relented but thought that Stalin had been testing the waters.

It's incredible, a suite of pure FOSS services that isn't profit first? A beautiful thing.

Haha lmfao what race do they think most eastern European Jews were at the time of the holocaust? Generalplan Ost?! 🤣

To be clear there is no such thing as "socialist" or "capitalist" policy, both are merely modes of production, where socialism is where public ownership dominates and workers control the state, and capitalism is where private ownership dominates and the capital-owners control the state. In other words, socialism is a workers' dictatorship, capitalism is a dictatorship of capital. Canada falls under the capitalist mode of production. Although welfare is a very big part of socialist theory.

Also, Afghanistan isn't even part of the middle east too lmao, so it's wrong twice

Biggest supporters of Palestine? So they're funding Palestinian resistance militias and sanctioning Israel? 🤔

Even then if that happened (it will not) it's been two fucking years of full-throated EU support to Israel and its genocide, Kaja is scum. Saving face will not work.

No problem!
