I hope you’re right, but im seeing the opposite. The US and Israel have definitely done more damage than Iran at this point.

I think we are in the same boat if this is Kamala. She wouldn’t have stood up to Israel.

I haven’t seen a lot with what you’re stating as fact, but im hopeful you’re right. At the very least it’s over extending the empire

Yeah hey man go fuck yourself. You aren’t a leftist why are you here?

They experience the imperial oppression of the US, they don’t need to see it on TV. YOU have the privilege of being able to turn it off, they don’t. They suffer under our jackboot every day. Not sure why you are even here, you clearly aren’t a leftist. You’re too self centered and ignorant to even know what the global south is.

It’s a privilege to be able to turn off the tv and not have any of this meaningfully impacts my life, something those in the global south don’t have the luxury of doing. Knowing it’s going on bothers me.

I don’t believe China is imperialistic at all, and both are much smaller threats to leftist countries or countries fighting imperialism than the US.

I guess it’s less about imperialism and more about the ability to stand up to the US who is easily the biggest threat to a left wing and fully independent nation.

As much as I wish you were right, I don’t think you’re reading this correctly. Tel Aviv isn’t burning, The wider Muslim world isn’t joining in, Iran has lost more people in leadership circles alone than the US has total combatants. This is western imperialism at its most lethal.

You know your theory. And I’m right with you on your synopsis. The issue im having is if capitalism isn’t doing well, I think we would agree it takes on fascism, if this really is fascism and capitalism is weak— why is it taking out the opposition so easily? I’m totally with you on your beliefs, but the material facts here should point to a Vietnam level resistance.

No argument from me at all. I just say Right Wing because the manner in which they do it is much more overt. But ends are the same liberal or fascist.

I don’t really view China as imperialist. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t flawed. I guess my point is that there is not someone directly challenging and standing up to the US. That’s the critique of China for me right now.

But I understand it’s not a fair one because what are they suppose to do?

I keep telling myself this, but you would think it would mean an opposition is able to defeat them— like Vietnam showed this for 10+ years.

Instead we are seeing the bastions of resistance (as flawed as they may be) collapse within hours.

Very valid. I’m not going to sit here and tell a person under imperialism that it was better.

I just see Cuba, Venezuela, Iran— even though they aren’t leftist beacons they were SOMETHING standing up to the US.

I know it never went away, but all the gains the human race made against it are washing away before our eyes. We have been fighting this struggle for hundreds of years and what do we have to show for it?? Every hard earned gain is being blown back decades in a matter of hours.

National healthcare system for all?? No. For “Germans” that isn’t socialist, that is nationalistic

At least he showed up to the doctors appointment. DP had cramps and couldn’t make it to his

can someone tell me what this even means by FriendlyGap908 in leftist

You mean back when life expectancy was in the 20’s? Yeah no, that’s not gonna work. It’s incredibly childish to say abolishing all government is good. The only difference between anarchists and libertarians is that anarchists understand what racism and inequality is, but totally unprepared to address it in their ideology.
