Wow, really? That's quite the coincidence then.
The Global North operates by over-exploiting the Global South.
I got ridiculed and belittled without further request of clarification.
No, the bit where you said you don't support the dissolution of fascist states.
There are absolutely rational reasons for Russia to invade Ukraine.
Looking back to the dissolution and subsequent plundering of the USSR, there became a rising Bourgeoisie within the Russian Federation. Since there wasn't already Imperialist infrastructure for the Russian Federation to exploit the Third World (large, monopoly and financial Capitalists with international footholds), Putin tried to join NATO and join hands with the rest of the Imperialist western nations, and take "their share" of the super-profits. This was denied, and thus began a long few decades of growing tensions between NATO and the Russian Federation.
Ukraine on the other hand has been increasingly militarized, with anti-Russian sentiments rising. NATO increased expansion against Russian requests, leading to Russia trying to forcibly demilitarize Ukraine.
Regardless of morals, there is a material basis for this conflict.
As for Palestine, again, the oppressed have the rights to use violence to free themselves, especially if non-violence hasn't worked, and in the face of genocide.
Long, boring, hard to pay attention to.
There are simpler, shorter, and easier works by Marx, Like Critique of the Gotha Programme, Wage Labor and Capital, as well as Value, Price, and Profit.
Nice to see you going mask-off and thinking Nazi Germany should have remained.
Why not?
Read Marx, everyone.
Though as leftist as I personally am and have become in time, I'm not going to call anyone comrade or start using hammer and sickle imagery
For now.... mwahahahahaha!
I mean they think Donald Trump is a liberal FFS. Donald Fucking Trump
I mean, yes. Donald Trump generally supports the free market, individualist ideology of Liberalism, and is extremely pro Capitalism.
Liberalism doesn't mean "left wing" or "center left."
Trump is also a far-right populist, but falls under the umbrella of liberalism.
I'm aware that it doesn't require its users to be MLs, but the perception even within Lemmy.ml to my knowledge is that its ML focused.
