they can get the bullet after a trial then, i wont shed any excess tears but i do not trust soldiers not to torture and execute an innocent person, like how they accidentally killed that pro russian communist american a few months back because they thought he was a spy.

edit: also, if you’re going to be doing this at bare minimum do not fucking post it online and give the other side a reason to fight even harder to avoid capture

still upsetting watching someone be executed on camera, just generally not something soldiers should be doing

for anyone who uses it, careful about going to r/ukrainerussiareport today, very upsetting execution vid on there rn

@Z_Poster365@hexbear.net look at the worms realize the US cant protect them anymore lol

really sad figure to me. he just was too narcissistic to accept that he lost the ideological struggle to subsume himself to the party which is a real shame since the party really could have used his talents

i’ll never excuse anyone in the west. parenti was able to cut through it, they should have been able to too. Regardless, not saying he needs to become omega stalin number 1 fan overnight and completely denounce trotsky, I do think that many MLs go too far the other way and try to downplay trotsky’s accomplishments for no good reason

lmao great story. and you’re not wrong, you can even get them to agree with dialectical materialism as long as you call it critical thinking

i don’t know all the reasons behind why it happens, but one of the biggest ime has to be that trot parties are filled with social chauvinists who have that traditional belief that socialism can only come from the imperial core (and is why the ussr china and others are “de generated* worker states”) where capitalism is most developed. Combined with their belief in permanent revolution, they kind of come to the conclusion that american hegemony is a good thing because it expands capitalism and the imperial core, and then eventually just drop their belief in socialism entirely when they get swept up into these NGOs and the government itself as their class position further shifts their thinking

*no gap in this word just cant type it because of the filter lol

trot to neocon pipeline is well known, probably least controversial thing in the quotes xiaohongshu selected lol. as far as what being “christianized” means: he’s referring to how in the history of “christian” states they have always used the religion to go after an other, from when the Roman empire first co-opted it to the crusades to the inquistion to fighting judeobolshevik communists there has always been some “other” group to go after

you would think him seeing so many of his trot friends become neocons would make him examine his own beliefs a little but doesn’t he still irrationally hate stalin like a good little trot lol

like i need alcohol to ramble to my friends about socialism haha… however i did start telling some random guy in a bar that i was a socialist one time when i was really sloshed a few months back which is probably not the wisest thing to do considering where I live but he seemed ok with it so i got lucky lol

it’s not just that they’re defeatists, they think (maybe rightfully) that the US provides more benefit to them than they would get if they take the hard road. This is why the decline of the empire is so important for the region. if these people think the US can no longer provide material benefit to their treachery, they will be that much more likely to actually join in on destroying the entity.

the essay doesnt disagree that there are people you can convince. I’m unconvinced that the bulk of americans can be convinced at the current moment

it does both, I think. from my understanding lebanese politicans who are anti-resistance can’t risk coming across as supportive of the entity publicly; there would be public outcry. but this statement would make it look like hezbollah was planning on abandoning Gaza, which would hurt hezbollah’s image in the public and especially among its own support base, while still not showing any outright support for “israel”.

edit: I’m not saying it is impossible, but the fact he doesn’t mention a ceasefire for Gaza as a prerequsite for this agreed ceasefire is very suspicious to me.

also unless I see evidence that some member of the lebanese government is vocally pro hezbollah im going to assume they’re making it up to slander the resistance

I hope he’s right

obligatory link. anyone who falls for something this stupid already wanted to believe that hamas and isis are the same, there is no saving and convincing them

citizen journalist from gaza. he managed to escape a few months into the genocide, i wanna say around december iirc

really not too surprising i mean hezbollah is much more of a conventional fighting force than the resistance in gaza could ever hope to be, so unsurprising to me to see israel shit its pants against something actually approaching a peer level force even if they hold air superiority

we need to be putting this shit on tankietube immediately lol
