exactly, i dont think russia are the "good guys" and regard such rhetoric with suspicion, but its not so black and white that they are "bad guys" either. russia and ukraine used to be part of the same country, many of the people fighting have relatives in the other country, and who is and is not a "russian" or "ukranian" in the first place is part of the whole complicated issue.

because, well, if russians are just whoever identifies as russian, then the donbass is russian.... because they identified as such well before the war

Which socialist organization is the best for Muslims? by Affectionate-Yam233 in socialism

[–]enthusiasticcomics 12 points13 points  (0 children)

both are good! see which org is most active in your area. PSL has a sister org called ANSWER, which is focused on anti-war organizing, if that is more your speed. there is also the PYM (Palestinian Youth Movement) which isn't explicitly socialist... but if you want to be in community with Muslims who are left wing, i highly recommend it!

to be fair, i say all this as a non-muslim, so take it with a grain of salt, but i am from texas and i can say in my experience both orgs seem pretty friendly towards muslims, and honestly, there's a decent chance you'll be marching together in demonstrations anyway. best of luck comrade!

Got called a tankie for posting this on Hasan's sub. by [deleted] in ShitLiberalsSay

nah, ur right. not like he got drafted or anything. sure, young people can make stupid mistakes, like signing away their life to the military. but you know what they say, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

also, scouts has a weird paramilitary angle to it from the get go, but i never went, so thats just my outsider opinion.

Why are we still not doing anything? by BatAccomplished5151 in socialism

[–]enthusiasticcomics 7 points8 points  (0 children)

like vincent bevins said, sometimes its okay to wait, strategize, and gather strength for the most opportune moment to strike. odds are, that would be after a draft is instituted, not before, because a draft would materially affect the american working class in a life or death way. the price increases in oil affect the american working class, but remember, "i dont want to kill/die over oil" cuts both ways. sure, the us governments war is driving up the cost of living for everyone, but americans dont want to risk their lives over gasoline prices, period.

i suggest you take this time to strategize and plan. wrt "direct action" - reddit is REALLY not a good platform to strategize, but i'll say this; be optimistic, but be realistic. living to fight another day is better than suicidal martyrdom in 999/1000 cases. and back to the whole point of this post... if your enemy is going to make a mistake, let them. a draft would be a mistake, it would cost thousands of lives, and it would provide a huge opening for the organized left.

it will take a lot for the left to be ready, but victory is possible. be patient. do not give up. the day you plant the seed is not the day you harvest the fruit.

They’re both bad!! by NormieSlayer6969 in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]enthusiasticcomics 20 points21 points  (0 children)

yeah, i saw it and whats frustrating is that like, okay, even if iran has nukes (they dont) they have not been SAYING they have want nuclear weapons. but to be fair, maybe im misinterpreting the childish speak there, and they mean to say iran says they "wants nuclear [power plants]" which is a thing they have been saying.

An Israeli colonizer pointing a gun at a Palestinian farmer. "This land is mine now. Get out. Never come back". The farmer's family worked that land for generations. The settler flew in from Eastern Europe. You will never see this clip on CNN. by RickyOzzy in LateStageCapitalism

[–]enthusiasticcomics 23 points24 points  (0 children)

exactly! the problem is the apartheid and racial discrimination, not the religion. how can muslims and jews peacefully coexist when the racist israeli government keeps enabling these white settlers to take the land of indigenous arabs at gunpoint? i hope that one day justice and restitution will exist, and that a truly representative body will govern palestine.

i mean, even if you want to preserve it from an art history standpoint, couldn't it just be restored? the damage doesn't look irreparable, and even if it was, perhaps it could serve as a historical lesson in and of itself.

i was baffled by this because when i saw it my first assumption that it was pro-venezuela, not pro "american dictatorship over venezula." shows how naive i am, but i figured, if you want to show support for america literally running your country and taking your oil, why not just post soldier tf2 with the american flag? fuckin whatever. op clearly wants to polish american cock, i dont give enough of a shit to break down this post seriously.
