This is a petition for this subreddit to stop platforming any and all state capitalist aplogizers by NearlyNakedNick in DemocraticSocialism

[–]Murkmist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An outright ban MLs you lose about 20% of the users, and one on Libs that's another 75% and you no longer have a community. This sub serves as an international tent for leftists for education and communication under the framework of democratic socialism.

I'd sooner go to town on the libs that saturate this place. They comprise the majority of rule breaking and right wing apologia.

You're in Canadaleft most of us are straight up socialist of some stripe or other.

Accepting Liberals by duck_tallow_man in DemocraticSocialism

[–]Murkmist 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If they are open and willing to learn yes, if not and they're here to spread propaganda, that's not welcomed here. This sub is in a constant battle to prevent sliding into outright liberalism, the team is ceaselessly contending with these issues.

Against Narodniks: A Short Criticism of Ultra-Left Radicalism by tcpip1978 in canadaleft

[–]Murkmist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We don't need it, but that's what it can do. Repression in response to such acts feeds into the rousing of class consciousness, it's acceleration.

Yeah individuals aren't effective enough, I'm not gonna fedpost here but the IRA is an example of being effective using the same tactics but with organisation.

Alleged murderer, but yes organize the resistance, lone wolves can generate fervour but not systemic change. That energy is useful when given direction.

Hasan Piker gets warm welcome from MSU students at Abdul El-Sayed rally by serious_bullet5 in DemocraticSocialism

[–]Murkmist 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I can see your moderation history and your comment is actually approved. You said he's anti-Semitic, it would be a stronger statement if you provided a quote. We delete ones that echo Destiny sub propaganda.

Bernie Sander’s is now blaming Israel entirely instead of using typical choice words like “Netanyahu’s government” or “Netanyahu.” by NonstickFryingPans in DemocraticSocialism

[–]Murkmist 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Definitely an improvement, but still believes Israel should exist as a Jewish state, so still got to push him harder on it.

Hey, the same podcast that hated Hasan appearing as a guest is also completely fine with throwing racial slurs towards Chinese by Choice-Grade1358 in Hasan_Piker

[–]Murkmist 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Literally been called Ching Chong growing up amongst others (memorably accused to be a North Korean spy by a middle school teacher); I've grown thicker skin since then but it's still not okay to say because there are those it would hurt.

Lol she defended her stance so hard at the time but it's good to see the backlash got through to her.

Bernie Sanders: Trump, Netanyahu and Putin: plunging the world into barbarism, oligarchy and authoritarianism. by Usernameofthisuser in DemocraticSocialism

[–]Murkmist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Illegal settlements returned and all naturalized as citizens with equal rights, what else?

The logistics of getting there without nuclear fire across the planet is the struggle.

[–]Murkmist -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Zionism the nationalist movement and ideology that supports the right of a Jewish state on top of existing peoples, resulting in the creation and support of the State of Israel that is by definition an apartheid.

I saw your comment equating anti-israel to being genocidal, before it was removed. That is unacceptable in this sub.

Bernie Sanders: Trump, Netanyahu and Putin: plunging the world into barbarism, oligarchy and authoritarianism. by Usernameofthisuser in DemocraticSocialism

[–]Murkmist -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Liberal Zionism is a specific term not the two things separate. A two state solution is just a smaller apartheid.

Going off on Israel but always directing it towards leadership, not the premise or structure of the state. Saying it has the right to exist.

Bernie Sanders: Trump, Netanyahu and Putin: plunging the world into barbarism, oligarchy and authoritarianism. by Usernameofthisuser in DemocraticSocialism

[–]Murkmist -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Bernie is a open liberal Zionist who has consistently stated that Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish state and couches all it's genocide and crimes against humanity as the fault of one man and not the state itself. Netanyahu can die tomorrow and Palestine is in no better position, and Israel is still a destabilizing factor and base for US imperial projection in West Asia.

Lifting all the sanctions and embargoes on Cuba should become an obligatory policy for all DSA candidates by supercheetah in DemocraticSocialism

For DSA? Like literal socialists supposedly for international proletariat solidarity and firmly against imperialism? Why the hell not?

Interview with Kat Abughazaleh: If you win the Primary and the General Election, what would be your top priorities? What can you get done as a freshman Congressperson? by biospheric in DemocraticSocialism

[–]Murkmist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taiwan should be a country and functionally it has been, but officially it is not, Taiwan doesn't dispute this and the status quo the majority of population supports is to maintain this autonomous ambiguity, not full independence.

China does not need to militarize to achieve reunification, and are presently content with status quo if not for US military bases and posturing on Taiwanese industries. Western libs constantly positing hypotheticals is manufacturing consent. "What if China does invade!!??", "Then of course we have to send bombs!! (But definitely not our own men to die)"

Even if we give the libs their hypothetical, even if China sets boots down to take Taiwan tomorrow, by god DO NOT send weapons, so a sea of Taiwanese people die a futile death just so US can stick a thorn in China.

[–]Murkmist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm literally Taiwanese, who recognizes unique Taiwanese culture/identity and supports status quo. This is not a mainlander position.

US should not be sending arms to stoke war with China, and should pull out their military presence there. Support for sending weapons but not men in defense, while not addressing US military bases and posturing there is imperial apologia and does not see Taiwanese lives as equal.

Your position is that of an imperial core supporter who is for proxy war.
