the New York Times was talking about Adolf Hitler as early as 1922

They didn’t invent Nazis until after he died

He died in 1937. The Nazi party was founded in 1919.

when an anime pfp Twitter Nazi is born 100 years too early

so, a nazi

Also he married a Jewish woman

that poor soul

while it is easy to place all the blame on Hannah Arendt’s 1950s political work, I do believe :porky-happy: would have come up with this little rhetorical trick with or without her writing The Origins of Totalitarianism

Alan Moore always hated capeshit and wrote Watchmen specifically as a deconstruction of it. imo “The Boys” is just Information Age Watchmen.

anyway here’s a picture of Mr. Moore himself back in the 80s, when he wrote Watchmen :marx-goth:

NATO leftists

Not a real thing. They’re just imperialists. It doesn’t matter how progressive they are on social issues when they only want equality and wealth redistribution in their country while supporting an organization that does shit like this

If you ever doubt Israel is a settler-colonial apartheid state, simply look at the UN vote on recognizing Palestinian statehood

The United Nations general assembly voted overwhelmingly on Thursday to recognise Palestine as a state, in the face of opposition from Israel and the US.

The 193-member assembly voted 138 in favour of the plan, with only nine against and 41 abstentions. The scale of the defeat represented a strong and public repudiation for Israel and the US, who find themselves out of step with the rest of the world.

I agree with your political conclusions that being anti-west is necessary in all scenarios but not your characterization that comrades enjoy the carnage.

You live inside a Nazi regime, your inaction is complicity, and your attack of the enemies of your regime is a betrayal of socialism and internationalism

Socialism is the enemy of the United States, which is the imperial center of gravity. The Russian federation and Ukraine are both products of the destruction of the USSR by the United States. To the extent that the Russian federation is an “enemy” of the united states, it is only because it stands in the way of Unipolar US hegemony, but not in the way of Capitalism itself. I sincerely hope the bourgeois Russian government is ousted and Communists take power in Russia again. And I hope the same for the US. You’re right, inaction is complicity. I’ll try to demonstrate more against my country’s actions, even if it gets me and my family tortured and killed.

how am I fence sitting when I said NATO/US/EU caused this war and also destroyed the USSR? Like if Ukraine and Russia were both still socialist and part of the USSR, and if NATO didn’t exist, none of this would possible.

So because NATO previously looted Russia that makes it more ok for NATO to attack them now?

I’m not pro NATO or think it’s OK for NATO to do anything it has done. Where did I say it was ok for NATO to do anything? NATO shouldn’t exist. And neither should the Russian federation. Bring back the USSR. Russian federation only exists because NATO destroyed the USSR through US-backed privatization and looting.

So you aren’t a Leninist? Lenin is talking about foreign capitalist nations and how attacking them while your own imperialist nation is at war is a form of imperialist intrigue. You are just doing ultraleftism right now and not principled Leninism.

The US/NATO/EU are responsible for the war, and they’re also responsible for the Russian federation existing in its current form. I don’t think I’m doing “imperialist intrigue” since Russian Federation wouldn’t exist in the first place if it weren’t for US/NATO/EU. If I criticize Russian Federation in any way, it is only insofar as they are a direct result of US imperialism. Hope that makes sense. Same goes for Ukraine and any other post-soviet country. They’re all victims of US imperialism. To the extent that the meme is an incomplete or lazy metaphor, I apologize. I was hoping it could pipeline libs away from a pro-NATO stance but if it fails at that, maybe it needs to be rethought.

Principled: Oppose NATO and work to stop weapon shipments and push for peaceful negotiation as soon as possible

Unprincipled: oppose everyone equally and sit on your ass going “let them fight”

I don’t oppose everyone equally or think the fighting should continue. I’d agree that a peaceful negotiation is necessary as soon as possible. But I don’t see NATO relenting, or Russia letting its guard down, or the Ukraine govt. accepting any peace terms put forward by Russia.

Both sidesism that includes your side is fence sitting

I didn’t include “My side”. None of these bourgeois nations or international institutions represent the working class.

I think Russia’s invasion was strategically necessary from a bourgeois nationalist perspective of protecting themselves from NATO expansion, and I absolutely think NATO/US/EU carry the largest responsibility in provoking the war. We should stand against all forms of bourgeois nationalism, while recognizing Russia and Ukraine as victims of US imperialism, and a byproduct of US-backed privatization in the 90s. I hope this isn’t right deviationism but feel free to correct and critique this stance.

3rd world nations: Give us reparations for climate change

1st world nations: Actually it’s China’s fault because we leveraged our economic hegemony to make them manufacture all the stuff. :soypoint-1::some-controversy::soypoint-2:

I cant speak about Nate Bethea being bad

simple. he’s a veteran of an imperialist US war and he funds and produces all these podcasts behind the scenes. weird!

Except they probably agree with this.

yep. i bet at least one of them is following this guy

I think on a long enough timeline it could be said Gorbachev killed more people than WW2. Because what he really did was he dismantled the nation best equipped to handle climate change, and to help others handle climate change. :doomjak:

Gorbachev said in an interview in Turkey in 2000 “My ambition was to liquidate Communism.” and establish a “Union of Independent Sovereign Republics” and to basically help America fight China. So he wanted a return of bourgeois nationalism, and a fully capitalist mode of production, but without dissolving the USSR, and with the addition of social democracy, which would rely on imperialism. It was a very naive in my opinion.

we’re doing aight :shrug-outta-hecks:

could be a lot worse. will probably get a lot worse soon. thanks for the well wishes

My grandfather was a sharecropper in North Carolina in the 1930s. He picked cotton as a child and was deprived of a proper education. He was barely literate in his 70s. He fought in Korea. He and his mother would both urinate in the bags of cotton at the end of their work shift to increase the weight of the yield.

there are men and women who are still alive today who worked as sharecroppers as children as late as the 1960s and 1970s, before the mass adoption of combine harvesters (go to 5:10)
