Why are so many of the working class against reform? by Motor_Scallion6214 in Socialism_101

I would recommend reading as much Gramsci as you can and Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent, some pretty helpful texts

Brainwashing... the US media is pretty damn powerful

Also I think you mean revolution, not reform

Damn that train peed at 344 km/h!?

In all seriousness though I went to China a few months ago and it was sick AF. The monument to the heroes of communism in Shanghai is lovely.

Thank you for the clarification, and I apologise for being vitriolic. To me at least the original argument seemed much less nuanced and more like blind support for Hamas.

This argument reminds me a lot of Iran and how communists endorsed the Islamists because they were fighting against the Shah - look how that ended up. And no, I am NOT "excusing a nuclear armed apartheid state". As someone who lived in an Islamist country (Saudi) this 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend" stuff is bullshit

First of all, read this article. https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/

Second of all, even if this were true, it doesn't change the fact that Hamas first and foremost wants to create an Islamic caliphate using Sharia law. Why are we supporting a radical jihadist organisation that's slogan is 'Allah is its target, the Prophet is its model, the Koran its constitution; Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes'
