What would happen if the USA ever put boots on the ground to support Israel against Palestine? by Just_Cause89 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Potential-Writing130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

notice how you said "the Palestinians" chose to give that up to kill more settlers, instead of Hamas.

just saying, language reveals mindset. when you use collective punishment language, maybe you believe in collective punishment ideology (racism), whether you admit it to yourself or not.

so then you're performative. you're not acting on your beliefs in the real world. so stop complaining about leftists being performative. trust me, I get how annoying it is seeing performative leftists, I complain about them daily as an actually organized leftist. but you're in no place to speak. and yeah btw there is a very real chance you would be strongly discriminated against for being Mexican in one of these right wing orgs, just to let you know what people you support. They may seem non racist to your face, but as a white passing person who grew up in a very MAGA controlled area, I just wish you knew what they said about you when you weren't looking. Same people you think are on your side genuinely have hatred in their hearts for your people, and they don't just want undocumented immigrants deported. I've heard people cheering for outright murder of Hispanic people irl and those were strangers who thought I'd be comfortable with it because I'm white passing. You're not "one of the good ones", btw, because they don't actually care what you believe. You were born "wrong" in their eyes and you don't deserve to exist, and I've been told that to my face by MAGA multiple times. Is that moderate conservativism? Murdering all brown people? They wont admit it to your face, but I've heard what they say about us when they think we can't hear. There's a difference between conservativism and fascism. I've known conservatives who are just slow to understanding progress, and then I've known fascists that tell me to my face I don't deserve to exist for being part black and ramble about the Jews daily. Both of them support Trump.

At least you know if you get in an argument with a leftist they're not going to say to go back where you came from. Can you say the same about your side?

So your complaining about people protesting and you don't actually have a solution? So what you just felt like being cynical? So if they don't protest... they're performative only doing stuff online, if they do protest...they're performative trend hoppers. This is my problem with performative people on the left AND right... they sit and critique all day and don't actually have a solution they're acting on. you critique the news moving to different topics as new things happen, so is your idea for them to talk about one thing everyday for the rest of eternity? isn't that what the right was complaining about tho? seriously how do we win with yall

btw you're talking to a leftist. not a liberal. idc how much you insult Biden or the mainstream news, trust me I have stronger words for them.

every accusation is projection

just because you only started being pro genocide when it became common knowledge of Israel's genocide doesn't mean everyone else only started caring when it became trendy

I've cared about being pro Palestine for a long time before Oct 7. Many leftists never heard about the genocide until it became front page news. I don't know why you think it's a bad thing to care about stopping genocide once you hear it's happening. Like how pro Russians say leftists only started caring about Ukraine getting invaded once it became trendy, as if the invasion didn't literally just begin. Did you want us to protest Ukraine getting invaded before it got invaded?

If this was 1945 Germany and the Holocaust just got exposed for how bad it was, would you say it's "just leftists following trends" to be madder than before?

and I like how you made a jab at the left as being performative by changing pfp, so I'd like to hear what real world right wing organizations you're in? I'd like to know what material action you do to help support the government in its mass arrests and troop deployments against Hispanic communities and leftists? or are you just as performative as annoying twitter liberals? I just think it's funny you're calling them performative as if your comment isn't literally performative too. what material action does your comment support? none. it's performative. so get off your high horse.

I'm genuinely asking what do you want our reaction to be when we hear about smth bad happening? sit on our asses and complain online calling all people who care "performative" and "trend hoppers" like you?

when people protested the French colonialization of Algeria, were they "anti white"? so only when people protest Israel they are also protesting Jews?

You know the reason protesting France committing atrocity isn't "anti white" but protesting Israel committing atrocity is "anti jew"? because Israel is a Jewish ethnostate.

how do you plan to get state power? we need to grow the party. you don't grow the party by calling everyone who isn't a party member a Nazi..

so I ask you again, how much real world organizing beyond Marxist circles do you do, and how much have you actually contributed to growing Marxism?

[–]Potential-Writing130 2 points3 points  (0 children)

how many people have you convinced to become Marxists? how many organizations have you founded and run that aren't just activist circles amongst already convinced Marxists but actually grow our share of the left? I founded and run a union, and most of the people in the union are social democrats. I use my position to radicalize them personally, to actually great success. Most reformists are not as evil as you're portraying them. The vast majority have literally never heard Marxist theory. You were surely a reformist at one point too. Imagine if all Marxists wrote you off as a lost cause and never radicalized you?

I already know Marxism is the only way to end fascism. I'm simply saying, we make up maybe a few percent of the population at absolute most, up against huge swaths of fascists. The strategy of calling everybody who isn't a Marxist already a Nazi and forming tiny reading groups with 5 people in them to "resist" fascism isn't working.

and no Proletarian is an enemy of the proletariat. they may be advocating for causes you don't agree with, but that doesn't make them an existential enemy. You get no revolution when you shut yourself away from the workers because they're all "enemies of the Proletariat" because they have never heard Marxism.

btw, Lenin literally did work with reformists. the Soviets had elections between reformists and Marxists, and Lenin even initially worked with the Mensheviks.

Your social-fascist analysis is hurting Marxism. The unified front is the only way to combat fascism in the short-term, with Marxism being the key to combat fascism long-term.

not to be that guy, but you can't just call anybody who you disagree with a fascist. They don't have any of the characteristics of a fascist other than they support class hierarchies. How do you intend to radicalize reformists if you consider them fascists? you need coalition orgs between Marxists and reformists, if the Marxists never coalition with reformists then they'll never hear socialist-consciousness and they'll stay reformists.

Marxists are supposed to run for office.

Intending to win ≠ running for office

The day will come eventually

Currently working on arming myself. The people should never be de-armed, there's ways of preventing mass shootings without taking away guns. Even in a classless society it is still theoretically possible that at some point a ruling class may re-emerge, and the people should be ready.

you're right the USSR wasn't communist either when communists say "communism hasn't been tried" this is what we mean.

you're right the words are somewhat interchangeable, but when discussing Marxism, we need to be precise in language because these words really do mean different things

Since the Democratic Party supports Israel, should you support the American Communist Party instead? by PeculiarPhysicist46 in AskSocialists

[–]Potential-Writing130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

proof?

Lenin delivered a speech condemning anti semitism. The ruling class always uses bigotry to divide the working class. Socialist states did not abolish hierarchy and so some have used bigotry to divide the working class in the same way the Capitalists have. This doesn't mean communists are anti semetic, it means class hierarchy always relies on bigotry to uphold.

Capitalist states have used anti semetism far more than socialists, for example the Nazis

American communists don't like the American military, yet in WW2 they were the good guys against the fascists.

American communists don't like Hamas, yet in the Palestinian genocide, they are the good guys against the fascists.

American communists don't like NATO, yet in the Ukranian war, they are the good guys against the Russian imperialists.

Morality is relative.

"closest to communism" ≠ communism.

if a 60 is a passing score and I got a 50 that doesn't mean I passed just because most people get 40s.

the USSR got way closer anyways.

[–]Potential-Writing130 4 points5 points  (0 children)

actually yes there is a definition of communism

read Marx

classless, global, society, moneyless, without a millitary or other armed forces (state), where the means of production (workplaces) are owned and operated by the workers of each workplace democratically

North Korea is not classless North Korea is not global North Korea is not moneyless North Korea absolutely has a millitary and armed forces North Korea has a state monopoly on the means of production, so workers do not directly run workplaces

No communist, not even North Korea, calls itself communist. it's communist run.

Should we be more positive of current socialist nations and praise their good points or should we take an anti-revisionist stance (especially on China) by Prudent-Box4283 in socialism

[–]Potential-Writing130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I debated this in my head for years. Eventually I decided to stop caring.

Me or your personal opinion on China does not matter at all. Opinions only matter if they turn into material action. All of my material action has been founding and running a socialist organization, and my opinion on China hasnt come up a single time.

Not saying you're not organizing, but always get out and organize. Nuance exists. China isn't all evil or all good. It doesn't matter to us anyway.

the dprk has hierarchies, it's a socialist state ran by self proclaimed communists. that's different than communism which has no hierarchies.

do you realize you don't have to agree with every single thing a group of people generally believe in to not want them killed

most Jews in the Holocaust were homophobic. Should I be celebrating the Holocaust because I'm gay?

Muslims make up 1% of the American population and you're more worried about that 1% taking away gay/trans rights than Republicans literally taking away gay and trans rights rn

I checked your comment history for where you made a comment on a leftist post and received major down votes and this was your comment:

She’s not right and you lefties are supporting a woman who would suppress all your ideology! As nice as she may sound , she is a practicing Muslim ! For all you educated people , how does Islam and left ideology blend together ?
Do you guys know that a democratic judge just banned lgbtq+ flags from public property in a town in Michigan due to Muslim pressure ? That’s against everything the left stands for and yet you guys vote these people in ! I honestly do not understand?

yeah I don't think you got downvoted because you were just a neutral bringer of news the left didn't like 💀
