@yungneocon @Blairiteboywife I’m Bengali. Not white. My God.

I think if the Zionist first principles are that Palestine is the Jewish homeland, every Jew has a right to it by birth and the existing inhabitants of the land shouldn’t have had a say in this; it’s anti-Palestinian bigotry very foundationally.

@PunishedMetros my argument is not about whether these specific policies are justifiable, but that these policies originate from a culture of paranoia rather than a specific culture of anti-palestinian bigotry. even if anti-palestinian bigotry is how it manifests itself today

@tubbysrealm @EccentricEnbyy I meant the histories and contexts and relationships are very different.

Asia and Africa would like to have a word

@moonlit_misfit Oppressed and colonized people's nationalism is good

@tubbysrealm @EccentricEnbyy South Asia isn’t LatAm. Cheers.

@liberalurbanite @devarbol He, Arestovych and Dugin once hung out together.

I need Ukrainian intelligence to confuse Jason Hickle and Jackson Hinkle.

My villain arc is people quoting the bullshit Utsa Patnaik and Jason Hickle numbers at me.

@EccentricEnbyy @MarginalScr Industry does not equate to human prosperity, where do the riches of those industries go?
Britain stole an estimated 45 trillion usd from India.

@Dhokchau What’s going on now?

[che capybara @vogon_laureate]

Lula officially endorses “americano” over “estadunidense.” It’s so over lefty LatAm bros

[Marginal Scribbles 🇬🇧🇮🇳🇧🇩 @MarginalScr]

@tubbysrealm @EccentricEnbyy No as the counterexamples of countries that were similarly poor once and are not now, it’s called ‘bad economic policy’.

[Marginal Scribbles 🇬🇧🇮🇳🇧🇩 @MarginalScr]

@yungneocon @Blairiteboywife The Right to Immigrate being one specific to Jews is problematic and I don’t think this should be a controversial proposition.

[Metro 🇺🇸🇮🇳 @metr0politics]

This is the kind of international Socialist solidarity that UK-based left wing internationalists like @MarginalScr have been longing for since Corbyn stepped down

[Marginal Scribbles 🇬��🇮🇳🇧🇩 @MarginalScr]

@yungneocon @Blairiteboywife The issue was claiming that Jews across the world had a special right to the land. Even the less extreme proposals worked on that premise.

[Marginal Scribbles 🇬🇧🇮🇳🇧🇩 @MarginalScr]

@tubbysrealm @EccentricEnbyy I think my family was less oppressed by white people they never saw in their lives vs. their neighbours they’d known all their lives increasingly becoming hostile.

@ElonMusgraves Hugo is better than Casino. Fight me tbh.

The USSR always ran a budget surplus under him (except for 1941-43, ofc), but not after him. Therefore, deficit hawks have no choice but to become anti-revisionist MLs

[Marginal Scribbles 🇬🇧🇮🇳🇧🇩 @MarginalScr]

@souljagoytellem @ElonMusgraves Wheatcroft’s take is standard in economic history, and he’s not a fan of Stalin either (and it’s close to what Kondrashin says here). The person who says Stalin did nuffink wrong is Tauger, but Tauger also thinks the British Empire did nuffink wrong.

[Marginal Scribbles 🇬🇧🇮🇳🇧🇩 @MarginalScr]

Calling it a genocide is bullshit, but nobody serious thinks the cause of the famine was just a combination of droughts and kulaks engaging in sabotage either.

Stalin's agrarian policy was just disastrous and there were issues with Soviet agriculture well after 1945.

[Bryton @BrytonsThoughts]

sure

[Marginal Scribbles 🇬🇧🇮🇳🇧🇩 @MarginalScr]

@ElonMusgraves @souljagoytellem Except in Ukraine, that didn’t quite happen either. And I think this thing wrt Scotland is also overwrought. There are other regional things in the UK which have been completely subsumed.

[Marginal Scribbles 🇬🇧🇮🇳🇧🇩 @MarginalScr]

@souljagoytellem @ElonMusgraves Yeah that was also the specific thing that Wheatcroft etc brought up in response to Appelbaum. That she pretty much ignores the famine being larger than Ukraine. Ukrainian historians like Plokhy weren’t calling it genocide early on either, but are moving towards that.
