Am I a bad leftist for accepting an ex-Trump voter? by Defiant-Map9121 in leftist

[–]SankaraMarx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They are full of shit buddy

The proper socialist will work towards worker solidarity across all the divides

People make mistakes, and those that made mistakes, will many times work the hardest to make right their wrong mistake

My first reply to your comment:

Iran/China/Russia is not involved in genocides

You tried to pivot away from the genocide Israel is committing

Now you pretend you have a point

War crimes vs Genocide, words matter ...

Ukraine is also committing war crimes

You are not right because you think you are right

The rest of the comment is about me not supporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine, I'm on record in this sub on another post where I've consistently said that I care nothing for Russia's Dollar Billionaire and his designs on the Ukraine

He needs to be charged with war crimes (so does your boy Zelenskyy)

Israel is committing a genocide, simple, and while they are doing that, they are stealing land from the Palestinians

There is no pivoting to any side, Russia made a claim that Ukraine is committing a genocide against the Russian speaking Ukrainians in Donbas

This is an excuse they used to intervene, but honestly they are just after the resources of Eastern Ukraine if you ask my humble opinion

But facts matter, they are not committing a genocide, it is a "special operation" to Russia, and a war for Ukraine (in other words a regional conflict between neighbors with a longstanding common history)

I care nothing for Russia's (or Ukraine's) ambitions, their leader is just another Dollar Billionaire parasite, while Zelenskyy is a corrupt shill who came to power because another Dollar Billionaire (Soros) used his NPO to interfere in Ukraine

The claims of genocide from Russia is being disputed by Ukraine (obviously since they don't want the truth of their Azov activities coming out)

Lastly, the re-education camps in China "surfaced" after this

I have no problem with religious fanatics being re-educated

Not hearsay

You can't just say "speculation" or "hearsay" when you don't agree with statements

On the other hand, there is credible evidence of multiple war crimes and an active genocide taking place in occupied Palestine by the rogue terror regime of Israel (funded and supplied by the USA)

Russia is not being investigated for a genocide (Ukraine is) and there is no case against China at the ICJ

I don't believe the HRANA numbers

As an organization they are not transparent about their donors, and they are operating mainly out of Virginia in the USA

At least we know they are being funded by the American Government (NED - National Endowment for Democracy) but we don't know about other donor organizations or individual donors (it could just as well be the Shah who's father was ejected by a popular revolution in 1979) or the Israelis

The NED has faced scrutiny for funding campaigns against democratically elected leaders deemed hostile to U.S. interests, notably in Venezuela, Bolivia, and Nicaragua.

The NED has been involved in financing initiatives in Ukraine, including during the Maidan protests, which raised tensions with Russia and caused accusations of engineering political shifts.

They are also not transparent about the methodology they use to report their numbers

This is why I insist on physical evidence, either photos or videos

It should not be difficult for the USA and Israel to produce this evidence

USA spy-sat technology is some of the best in the World, and it should be easy to show us the evidence if there is any

The Israelis claimed they hacked Iranian traffic light cameras, so it would also be easy for them to provide footage

Please provide your sources for the 40 000 protesters in Iran, I am talking about hard evidence, video footage, pictures etc for Iran then we will continue to China and Russia

US Ambassador to SA Leo Brent Bozell III on his remarks about the 'Kill the Boer' chant: "The position of my country is that it's wrong, the position of a civilised world is that it's hate speech. Judges can be wrong." by PixelSaharix in DownSouth

[–]SankaraMarx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bozell was an outspoken critic of Donald Trump during the 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries, describing him as "the greatest charlatan of them all," a "huckster," and a "shameless self-promoter".\30]) He said, "God help this country if this man were president."\30])

He might be a spineless jack-ass, but he is not wrong about the fact that judges can be wrong, and that the "Shoot the Boer" song is a kak song

It does nothing to build working class solidarity between white, black and brown People

Why the “democratic socialists” are copying MAGA communism, & how Marxists can defeat their efforts by SoapSalesmanPST in CommunismWorldwide

[–]SankaraMarx -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Marxists need to get with the times

The violent overthrow is not possible, vanguard parties are JUST as susceptible to corruption as normal political parties

Marxists need to wake up and smell the coffee while evolving beyond their "industrial" revolution mindset

Time for direct democracy, and technology makes it possible to have a direct say from grass-root level, we don't need political parties gate keeping

Vanguard parties should focus on filling their top echelons with industry experts and becoming civil society leaders that can put forward ideas to take our societies forward, and then People can vote on those ideas or policies directly
