            Platner is a former imperialist boot, and does have Nazi tattoos, and continuing to support the democrats over any worker-forward parties will not advance the interests of the working classes. These are my claims, I am not OP, and throwing petty schoolyard insults at me rather than responding to my actual claims isn’t going to help anything.

            No idea what you’re insinuating with the caviar bit.

                What lie? Are you confusing me with OP? I gave you my 3 claims. Are you denying that Platner is a former imperialist boot? Are you denying his Nazi tattoos? Or are you of the belief that supporting bourgeois parties is a viable path to worker emancipation? Your article is addressing OP, not me, so you’re clearly not actually addressing me.

                  I support our United States troops and military. I do not support the leaders at the top. What rank was Platner?

                  If you’re trying to say anyone who has ever joined the us military is somehow evil? Eff off.

                  Platner for the win.

                    I do not support the US imperial military, as it’s an extremely brutal means by which the US Empire cements its neocolonial and imperialist extraction around the world. No good has come from the US military outside of its participation in World War II in the last century. Outside of that conflict, it has exported genocide and mass slaughter of innocents on a regular basis. The problem isn’t simply the leaders, it’s the entire imperialist system the US Empire rests on, along with its ongoing settler-colonial project. Platner’s participation in that system is well-documented.
