yes. next question.

this was disgusting, but on top of all that he just invited himself to epstein’s paedo parties and got sidelined. what a loser.

should i remind you of all the interventions you participated since the end of the cold war? the role you had in the breakup of yugoslavia? the occupation of afghanistan and iraq? the bombing of syria and libya? how you guys are providing intelligence and missile defense to israel, in fact enabling them to perpetrate that massacre in gaza? the several interventions the french do in their former colonies?

“lesser evil” (and even that is debatable, ask the former colonies) doesn’t mean “not evil”. all in all only the irish and to some extent the balkanic will relate to us.

let’s just remember that kids are in cages since at least 2016 and we had a dem administration in between.

darling, the europeans are as fucked up as the statesians, at least. it’s easier for you in general to hate people of colour than to topple capitalism which allows this shit to happen in the first place. even your average leftist gets to be somewhat self-righteous and exceptionalist.

funny thing is that the writer talks as if ukraine was winning the war.

i don’t think that cuba can be considered a dictatorship. not so much about venezuela but that’s none of my business - and for the record, not of the US too.

how many times did she choked before actually saying it?

i don’t think she acts like 90% of the politicians since at least republicans are indeed free to act exactly like the program of their party. conservatives and reactionaries don’t have to play double games because in a capitalist system they have free reins, whereas progressive and social-democrats have to remind capitalists all the time how reliable they are to them, and in return they get the donations and resources they need to get elected, remain in power by not being removed through political means or lawfare, and are not branded as pariahs, i.e., radical communists.

however, i do get the point when she receives death threats, and i think that is undefendable and i suspect that this has got something to do with her being a young woman. but i don’t believe this was the case here since she was being pressured, not having her life or of those associated with her threatened. what people are saying, even though with red paint and an angry sign, is that “if you still want our votes and be associated with our values, you’d better change your stance”. as for bernie, it might be because he’s still much more inside social democracy than AOC even though he’s still playing comfortable with his genocide stance, it might be because he’s a white male. my guess is 80% the first reason and 20% for the latter.

why are we specifically pissed off at her but not anyone else in the house? because she dons the progressive hat and takes it off according to her convenience, and people don’t like to be played upon.

employees in some sectors could easily make do with a 3 day workweek, 4 hours per day, no payment reduction. all the rest is just surplus value being generated. however we know that the capitalists will never allow that, and that’s the reason we need to, while pushing for work week reductions, agitate the working class today in order to build the revolution of tomorrow.

i’m a trot and even i think he missed the point entirely. dsa should rename itself sda.

viva posadas.

and there are no illegals on stolen land.

can you please tell me how exactly chinese psyops will destroy the US? 'cause i can’t really see how anything they could would hurt the world.

would the chinese, perhaps, campaign for communism in the US? how could that possibly be bad?

if elon musk is space karen, who is this one?

epstein karen?

then in a sense the west is the biggest ally the islamic government can have, because they are succeeding in rallying the iranian people, even those who are oppressed, to defend their country. and that despite the ayatollahs: so far just small unrepresentative groups are calling for an uprising against the regime. even the tudeh and the toufan are condemning the israeli intervention, and they have plenty of reasons to hate the regime.

out of these things you said, so far iran is guilty of only requiring women to stay covered and, to a degree, child marriage (it’s not a state policy, but marriage with girls as young as 9 years old is legal). as far as i know women in iran can drive (the last country where women were not allowed to drive was US ally saudi arabia) and are free to move around, work, study and such, notwithstanding the challenges that women face there (legal discrimination and the oppression that they suffer just by living in a capitalist country).

however, the liberation of women in iran won’t come imposed by other nation states, especially the western capitalist ones, and certainly won’t come as a result of a war against israel. they don’t give a damn about the iranian people, be they women, queer, religious or ethnic minorities. the sionist establishment just want anyone that menace their grip over middle east off their necks, and that’s what the iranian bourgeoisie are doing right now.

if you ask me what i think would be better, the working classes of both countries would team up to seize their military apparatuses and turn them against their elites. if that’s not possible, anything that hurts western imperialism gives the world a small victory, regardless of whoever achieves them. we can take care of whoever punches the west later.
