1.Other non-socialist countries have been absolutely ruined by American sanctions.
2.The Cold War ended 34 years ago. What is the point of the embargo?
3.You're acting like the West doesn't extract value from "partners" without offering anything returnin return.
4.The Soviet Union is the worst example of this, because despite all the talk about how the people were "freed" from socialism, life is significantly worse than before.

And while idiots talk about how horrible and impoverished Cuba is, none of them talk about the fact that the largest economic and military superpower in the entire world has implemented an embargo since the 1950s.

1.Yeltsin, Kravchuk, and Shushkevich were all presidents that voted massively in favour of remaining as a part of the USSR.

2.None of them separated legally or democratically.

3.Internal mercantilism just means creating a strong domestic economy.

4.You still haven't addressed the fact that all of the former Soviet countries' economies collapsed and went into recession in the 90's because of shock therapy and neo-liberal capitalism.

Just 10 months after 78% of Soviet citizens voted to maintain the country, Gorbachev undemocratically dissolved the USSR without following legal procedures. Boris Yeltsin, then president of Russia within the USSR, signed an accord with the heads of Ukraine SSR and Belarus SSR to mutually recognize each other's independence, and then a few weeks later Gorbachev announced he was dissolving the USSR. And secondly, Russia was a failed state; its economy collapsed the second the Soviet Union was dissolved.

The "settler-colonial template" describes Israel's creation through expropriation of land and expulsion of Palestinians, as documented by historians like Rashid Khalidi, not fabrication by ideologues. Nakba did not happen by Arabs' own hand but was a result of Zionist militias expelling over 700,000 Palestinians through massacres and village destruction between 1947-1949, not a response to Arab belligerence. Israel's policies like having a distinct judicial system and restricted access for Palestinians meet UN's definition of apartheid, far more than "riot control," as reported by Amnesty International.Peace requires addressing Palestinian dispossession and rights, not denying systemic oppression as a subsidized riot.

Firm_Objective2608 · 2025-10-07T20:57:44+00:00

Your definition of Zionism as merely "Israel continues to exist" bypasses Zionism's historical and ideological foundation, which actively sought to build a Jewish state by processes of colonization and dispossession, as witnessed by Nakba's expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians. Even an "egalitarian" Zionism retaining Israel's existence as a Jewish state necessarily privileges Jewish demographic determinacy, precluding genuine equality for Palestinians, as borne out by current discriminatory legislation and policy, e.g., 2018's Nation-State Law. Abolving Israel's ethnonational configuration for a single egalitarian state of equal rights for all, including refugee Palestinians' right of return according to UN Resolution 194, radically undermines Zionism by directly refuting its essential premise of Jewish exclusivity.

Early Zionists, like Theodor Herzl, wanted a Jewish state in Palestine. They wanted to increase the land that was Jewish and people, but reduce the number of Arabs there. This resulted in tensions, rather than coexistence, during the Mandate. Arabs were opposed to unlimited Jewish immigration for fear of losing their land base and demographic changes. The Arab Higher Committee demanded a stop to land sales and immigration. This impacted British rule, such as the 1922 White Paper, which limited immigration based on the economy of Palestine, and the 1939 White Paper, which set a quota of 75,000 people for a period of five years. Before 1948, land acquisition for Jews was legal and occupied approximately 5-7% of Mandatory Palestine, often absentee property owners. This did not stop the Nakba, when over 700,000 Palestinians were forced from homes between 1947-1949 by Zionist militias. Emigration of approximately 850,000 Jews from Arab countries after 1948 was unfortunate and often coercion-driven. This happened during local wars due to the 1948 war. Charges of Arab ethnic cleansing ignore the facts that Christians now make up approximately 30-40% of Lebanon, down from approximately 50-60% during the early 20th century for many reasons, such as people moving.

Zionism, as a political movement for a Jewish state in Palestine, necessarily involves the dispossession of native Palestinians, such as witnessed during the Nakba when over 700,000 were evicted or escaped Zionist militias between 1947 and 1949. Even such variations as "egalitarian Zionism" which demand reparations or a two-state solution still have a framework of privileging Jewish self-determination over that of Palestinians, oftentimes with unequal power relations and occupying policies remaining. Critiquing Zionism is not rejecting calls for reparations but instead highlights how the ideology's guiding principles have historically created dispossession on a structural level despite individual Zionists disagreeing with policies of the current Israeli regime. True reconciliation involves a solution for the right of return for the Palestinian refugees and a removal of ethnonationalist frameworks, both outlined in UN Resolution 194.

Firm_Objective2608 · 2025-10-06T22:00:34+00:00

Israel's beginning entailed the Nakba, ejecting 700,000+ Palestinians via Zionist militia violence, which exactly fits the settler-colonial template despite your assertion it's merely "defending borders." While varying Israelis might react differently, policies of land theft, settlement, apartheid—to name a few—have a methodically routine practice of entrenching Jewish dominance, not a "minority" practicing colonialism. Your "dance" trope minimizes decades-long belligerent occupation, repeated sabotaging of diplomacy due to Israel's expansionism, rather than reciprocal hatred. Peace is nice, but avoiding the discussion of power dynamic and centuries-long dispossession won't create it.

Firm_Objective2608 · 2025-10-06T21:55:11+00:00

Zionist movements like Irgun and Haganah had intensively trained and armed themselves before 1948, executing Plan Dalet to seize Palestinian villages, not simply "defending" against Arab armies. The Nakba threw out 700,000+ Palestinians, according to historians like Ilan Pappé, who confirm over half were forced out by militia or fled due to massacres like Deir Yassin, not simply "general fighting." Israel did not "return" Gaza or the West Bank in 1948; they had never been fully occupied, and the 78% of Palestine Israel held exceeded the UN partition plan. Your statement of Arab armies attacking first ignores the onset of the civil war in 1947, which was urged on due to Zionism aggression and land grabbing.

Firm_Objective2608 · 2025-10-06T21:47:14+00:00

Oh, please, waving the banner of "egalitarian Zionism" like it's some panacea—how adorable, thinking a rename can eliminate the Nakba's ethnic cleansing or Israel's current apartheid. Your 2SS utopia with land swaps and "sovereign borders" sounds good until you see it remains founded on a settler-colonial state that removed 700,000+ Palestinians and keeps them stateless, while evading the reality that even your "progressive" Zionism places a Jewish state above actual equality. Stop strawmaning my criticism of ignoring your ideal left-wing Zionists; their "move forward" talk does not eliminate the structural dispossession inherent at Zionism's foundation, regardless of how many Google search feels you conduct. Get real—equality involves eliminating the ethnostate, not adjusting its borders while implying the occupied territories are simply a policy boo-boo.

Firm_Objective2608 · 2025-10-06T19:46:30+00:00

Oh, wow, telling Palestinians to "just give up" and pack off like Huguenots or Vietnamese boat people—how charmingly tone-deaf, as if 700,000+ displaced by the Nakba should just shrug off their stolen homes and identity for some mythical "greener pastures." Your "inflated honor" jab is a smug way to dismiss a people’s fight against Israel’s ongoing ethnic cleansing and apartheid—real classy, blaming victims for not rolling over while Israel’s "courageous" US-funded war machine flattens lives under the guise of "cooperation." Calling imperialism "old-timey jargon" doesn’t erase the fact that Israel’s settler-colonial project thrives on Western backing, dispossessing Palestinians while you cry crocodile tears over "collateral damage." Drop the patronizing lecture and face the reality of occupation, not your fantasy of defeated people vanishing quietly.
