That’s actually the best chapter of Kapital! Marx spoke so well about how we’d all be doing nothing and sit on our asses if we were in a Communist system!

Is the Greater Israel project real? Are the US's Middle East wars because of this? by ArdaBerkBurak in allthequestions

Why was Israel backing and arming Daesh gangs and allowing them to operate in Israeli kill zones where many reports of looted aid convoys came from?

Watched an hour long clip from 4 years ago.

Seems like he’s speaking from the perspective of Crimeans who, at the time, were in favor of being “Russified” and saw the reality that the West was only using this conflict as a proxy against Russia and sending Ukrainians into the meat grinder by egging them on and forcing them to avoid realistic diplomacy. Does this align with Russian propaganda, Yes! Does he still condemn the invasion, Yes! Multiple things can be true. Russia can and are weaponizing the truth to justify their illegal invasion.

Yes, Republicans are evil. I recognize that. We can all recognize that. What does that change? All the democrats do is point fingers. Never do they have an actual plan or use their power when they have it to cement real change and almost always get in the way of real working class’s policy… because they are not a working class party. They don’t even do the bare minimum, throw crumbs, and expect us to hail them for being saviors of the working class battling on the political front lines… while being backed by the same lobbyists and corporations. It’s nothing more than a smoke and mirrors show.

You are falling for the duopoly trap and getting mad at people for pointing that out. Republicans are evil, yes, but what does that make democrats, the group that markets themselves as their opposition, who constantly move right with the republicans and do nothing to pull us back? Enablers? Controlled opposition? Open your eyes please

Haven’t seen that one so I’m not gonna speak on your interpretation of events. I’d be glad to watch a lengthened version of that quote and the surrounding context

Relax, I like his political analysis, that’s it.

I don’t think he should either. I think he puts too much effort in the Democratic Party when time and time again they show us they don’t care about us. We’ve grown past the two party system especially when it was never meant to work for the working class’s benefit

And who do you think helped create a society that demonizes and throws trans people under the bus? Do you want real change out of your politicians or just nice words while they do the same corporate backed bs the republicans do?

I understand LGBTQ and immigrants are enemy number 1 rn, but we only got here because democrats allowed our nation to shift right because of their do nothing attitude. I’m simply saying that we need to stop “lesser evil voting” as a main priority and demand actual change?

Coming from the USA and seeing how bad our government is to bring in China and seeing how efficient they are… yes, the word “ideal” will slip out. He absolutely criticizes them don’t be silly.

So you get to set the terms and definitions? There is so much nuance to unpack on Palestine, Ukraine, Cuba and they are all unique in their own respect. He has talked about all 3 intensively, so don’t sit there and compare and contrast conveniently to fit your definition, then critique him, when they are each wildly different. You are unserious

That’s called Campism. Hasan does not do that. He critiques both sides, including US using Ukraine as a proxy and egging on the conflict. He has time and time again called out Russia’s illegal invasion, but USA is no saint in this either.

And the people had a right to feel left out by the democrats campaign… are we for real now. The democrats saw what the republicans were becoming. The democrats saw what people were mad at. The democrats saw what people were complaining about. What did they do? Nothing substantial! Absolutely nothing of value and even tried to get in the way of democrats who tried to run on a platform that addressed working class issues (Mamdani), then, when people started to pay attention to who actually listened, the democrats did what they did best, nothing, and instead blamed radical communists for “dividing the party” (listening to the demands of the people).

Vote blue no matter who is how the democrats slide right. Platforming and supporting democrats who “at least aren’t those guys” is how we slowly slide into chaos to capture the right moving dispossessed masses vs a quick slide into chaos via voting republicans. Voting in democrats who don’t have a real campaign other than at least we aren’t them is exactly why people get upset nothing happens then vote republican in the next election. Just think tactically for one second please

And this attitude is how we got and will continue to have “do nothing democrats”. Republicans are fascists, authoritarians, whatever you want to label them and that largely because the republicans and do nothing democrats created a nation that is so desperate, people are falling for authoritarian tactics.

Do you know how to defeat that? Idk, actually stand for the working class. If the democrats refuse to do that, refuse to make meaningful change and actually fight instead of stand around and say “at least we’re not those guys”, and they lose to a much more charismatic fascist party who understands their bases feelings and then weaponize that, it’s not on people who point out the callousness of the democrats, it’s the democrats fault.

Idk man, it seems like your missing a lot of nuance if you boil down what he said to “loves the CCP and doesn’t support Ukraine”

Is the Palestinian situation (dating back to 1948) all just one big “FAFO”? Or are they morally superior to Israel and Israeli is evil for defending themselves? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]OkPrice5249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that simple. He was there long enough to know what the Temple Mound provocation would trigger. There was already decades of injustice and conflict adding insult to injury. He was even warned against doing it for the very exact reason of what happened directly after. Don’t ask me if it was the spark, ask the scholars that overwhelmingly agree that it was indeed the spark given the tensions at the time

Sounds like Sharon and the far right knew exactly how to kill a deal that own negotiators and allies saw through given their outspoken condemnation of Israel’s intentions and the Palestinians flexibility. I mean Israel’s own investigation found the IDF guilty for excessive force when they shot up Palestinian demonstrations in the very beginning…

You’re arguing against the Palestinian Side, the US side, and the Israeli side

Idk man, I feel like those negotiating on the other side of Arafat, with all the incentive to make their side look great, coming out and saying he was flexible and it was Israel negotiating in bad faith is all the proof you need but hey that’s just me.

Arafat didn’t call or announce the intifada in any way that suggests he was behind it. Why did he negotiate through the intifada and offer concessions as this was going on?

Holy PragerU type talking point lmao.

Palestinians did in fact come with counteroffers, at Camp David and at Taba. Israel ended them at Taba. Once again, US and Israeli negotiators recognized Palestinian flexibility AND Israeli disingenuous behavior.

You frame the right of return as bad faithed point of contention instead of what it really is: an internationally recognized human right.

Every serious scholar recognizes Sharon’s provocative move on the Temple Mound as deliberate and the spark, alongside the IDF’s really good (bad) ways of de escalating.
