@BlackStarJewels@SarahIronside6 Also Islamic scholarship strongly rejects this assertion, noting that the Quran explicitly forbids the forced conversion of other religious groups and that Islamic jurisprudence requires valid, conscious consent for marriage, strictly prohibiting rape.
@BlackStarJewels@SarahIronside6 The coexistence of clear scriptural protections for minorities and women alongside horrific abuses by extremist groups demonstrates that the true issue lies not in the core tenets of Islam, but in the violent distortion of those texts by radical fundamentalist regimes.
@CommunistJojo It is highly unlikely that a group defined by online immaturity, inflammatory behavior, and a lack of theoretical understanding could organize a meaningful movement or earn the trust of the working class.
@CommunistJojo My original point is that the political classification relies entirely on the framework of the system being built, rather than the moral character of the person building it. And I don’t think discrediting people is really doing any favors.
@CommunistJojo That is a completely fair point, and I apologize for misinterpreting your focus as reductionism. You are absolutely right. Focusing heavily on physical action makes total sense if you feel that is where the current discourse is severely lacking.
@CommunistJojo Your absolutely right that theory without practice is sterile, but reducing a complex political identity entirely to physical activism overlooks how theoretical discourse, education, and cultural groundwork shape the very strategy and long-term viability of a movement.
@CommunistJojo Equating online edge-posting with a betrayal of theory is just lazy moral policing, political movements have always been built on chaotic discourse, not your personal tone-policing or respectability politics.
@CommunistJojo Reducing ideological identity strictly to physical activism ignores the foundational role of theory, discourse, and shifting cultural consciousness in political movements.
@MrPeteCochran@CapitalismMag It's almost as if centuries of colonization, extreme wealth inequality, and systemic exploitation make it completely logical that millions of people around the world don't view that "incredible success" the same way billionaires do.
@CommunistJojo Calling me an imbecile doesn't change the fact that you're substituting an actual argument for an insult to avoid addressing the No True Scotsman fallacy.
@Nickthedick96@Magyar645@American717@DreamLeaf5 You’re drawing an equivalence to the American legal context which ignores the fundamental constitutional differences in how the two nations protect and regulate public speech. Hate speech is allowed in the U.S but not in the UK
@Nickthedick96@Magyar645@American717@DreamLeaf5 the UK legal system prosecutes criminals based on evidence rather than race, and individuals are arrested for incitement to violence or hatred rather than peaceful political critique.
@Nickthedick96@Magyar645@American717@DreamLeaf5 Equating contemporary progressive social policies to a totalitarian racial hierarchy is a remarkable feat of political mental gymnastics, managed only by completely rewriting the definition of socialism to mean "State does this, State does that” or whatever.
@Nickthedick96@Magyar645@American717@DreamLeaf5 Nazi Germany enforced a rigid, biological racial hierarchy aimed at the absolute subjugation or extermination of specific races, whereas modern left-wing ideologies advocate for equity, systemic reform, and the dismantling of racial hierarchies altogether.
@Nickthedick96@Magyar645@American717@DreamLeaf5 the Nazi regime explicitly prioritized and violently targeted left-wing groups like communists and socialists from day one to eliminate their primary ideological opposition first sending them to Dachau which was the first concentration camp
@Nickthedick96@Magyar645@American717@DreamLeaf5 the Nazi government actively suppressed labor unions, banned strikes, and pioneered the mass privatization of state-owned railways, banks, and steel mills during the 1930’s which are policies that are entirely antithetical to left-wing economics.
@vamos1982@Magyar645@American717@DreamLeaf5 the foundational tenets of far-left ideology center on anti-capitalism, egalitarianism, and stateless collective governance. As opposed to the far right which centers on ultranationalism, social hierarchy, and the preservation or restoration of exclusionary structures
@vamos1982@Magyar645@American717@DreamLeaf5 Extremist tactics like political violence, scapegoating, and the elimination of dissent are not exclusive to any single ideology, but are rather authoritarian methods found across both the far-left and far-right spectrums.
