Its worse than liberals... its zionists

There is a difference between liberals and fascists. Its slight and the liberals do tend towards fascism but they aren't there yet.

Question: since Lula is a Global South socdem, is he a lib?

[-] Sodium_nitride@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 20 hours ago

We should analyze liberalism from a materialist standpoint and not treat the ideology of it as the primary factor. On the surface level, Lula and a lot of American/European soc-dem liberals will theoretically have the same philosophy, stated values and preferred policies. But the labor movement will be stronger and more principled wherever the concentration of industry and the proletariat is the highest. The semi-bougiefied imperial core proles have much more trouble staying principled or properly understanding the course of politics. The labor movement in the imperial core is coasting by on pure inertia from previous decades. Their gains are eroded by ever increasing rounds of austerity.

Thanks for reminding me to

not treat the ideology of it as the primary factor.

Yeah that's just pure idealism on my part, the economic base determines and constantly moves the superstructure

[-] bananon@hexbear.net 15 points 21 hours ago

Technically yes, but he talks about building wealth evenly through social programs in his own country, which improves people’s lives and goes against historical austerity imposed on the global south, which could facilitate decoupling from western hegemony. This makes him theoretically better than a socdem in the west, who is limited to making wealth more evenly distributed, but ultimately still derives that power from plundering the global south. Being better just because of your geopolitical conditions is not guaranteed, however, as we have seen in recent years in Chile and Peru.

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 9 points 21 hours ago

Yeah, there are global South allies who are technically libs (eg. Ta Nehisi Coates)

and

libs who definitely know they depend on the hegemonic western capitalist base, with its unequal 'exchange' and imposed IMF austerity, dollar rule, and interest rates....

Zionist libs

[-] CantaloupeAss@hexbear.net 44 points 21 hours ago

Internet leftist co-opting aside, this is about as naked a genocidal argument I've seen. Usually it's couched in "right to defend", "hostages", "human shields", etc., but this sticker says that a basic cultural expression of Palestine is tantamount to Naziism.

The equivalent would be what, saying a kippah is a genocidal symbol?

At first I thought this was a billboard on the side of a building which would be really yikes-1 , but maybe it's just a sticker on the back of a road sign?

Zionists also suck at being creative I see.

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 16 points 21 hours ago

Remember that time they made a commercial about Santa crying about October 7th? That shit sucked and it was markedly before they realized they were losing youthful demographics

[-] axont@hexbear.net 10 points 19 hours ago

And they had posters of Voldemort and Jigsaw from Saw crying with the implication that Hamas is even worse

[-] wombat@hexbear.net 38 points 21 hours ago

the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 58 points 23 hours ago

Damn, were they not able to find s fascist that actually finished artschool?

[-] nohaybanda@hexbear.net 28 points 22 hours ago

Many such cases

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 8 points 20 hours ago

Clipart in Paint is the best they could do.

[-] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 26 points 22 hours ago

Is Spider Man an anti-Zionist?

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 20 points 21 hours ago

Do the kids even call people hipsters anymore?

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 10 points 19 hours ago
[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 5 points 18 hours ago

We're approaching the point of: grillman "damn hipsters with their ~~skinny~~ ~~baggy~~ skinny jeans"

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 10 points 19 hours ago

No, this is some boomer shit

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 17 points 21 hours ago

It seems unwise to conflate yourself to victims of the KKK when your main supporters are the ones who think the brown people abroad are inferior and gross.

[-] RedWizard@hexbear.net 26 points 22 hours ago

Ok, I'm going to ask the silly question: What is the origins of Maoist Standard English?

[-] Speaker@hexbear.net 2 points 10 hours ago

I think the earliest consistent uses I can think of in print are Pantherist writings, and there's a fair bit of blending of Pantherist thought in US Maoist currents.

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 17 points 21 hours ago

The first time I came about something similar was reading Settlers by J Sakai, but I think its current form is just exaggerating the settlers style.

[-] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 6 points 20 hours ago

I think its the kkkracker amerikkkan thing

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 14 points 22 hours ago

Zionists accidentally making the kkk look cool and good by association.

[-] RobertAnderson2@hexbear.net 27 points 20 hours ago

Comrade, dont put the KKK and cool in the same sentence again

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 10 points 20 hours ago

Yeah, I cringed when I wrote that.

[-] AnarchoBolshevik@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 22 hours ago

Clarence Brandenburg, a KKK leader, made racist remarks during a Klan rally in Hamilton County, Ohio, including “Send the Jews back to Israel” and “Bury the [insert slur here].”
