@MadameStalin The Islamic theocracy in Iran came out of the reactionary purge of socialists after the revolution. It makes sense to contextually support them as the knee that won’t bend to America, and when it comes to that they absolutely have my sympathy, but we don’t need to glamorize them.

@MiloNellaStanza @elfroggepriv “Yes, they are fighting just to defend themselves from genocide and their entire intelligentsia being murdered and schools and books all being burned. But do they read Marx? Or mostly the Qur’an? Can we *really* support Palestinian self-defense considering the circumstances?”

@MiloNellaStanza @elfroggepriv Most “Israeli proletariat” love the IDF and participate in it.

@PaulSorrentino3 There’s plenty of grounds to criticize him on but New York Post headlines will never be one of them and you cannot ever be an informed voter if NYP headlines are a part of your voter information feed.

@TAMMYSZN It’s NOT genocidal conceptually. It’s genocidal because Israel as a state depends on genocide for its existence. This might not occur to someone who is thinking purely in abstracts, but that is the material reality.

@R0dchenko Socialists qua individuals don’t exist.

@Platonotov @9benadryls There were even Black slave owners in colonial America. Not sure what your point is here

[Moderate Communist @ModerateCommie]

@Platonotov Yes classes exist within ethnicities, generally the ruling class is linked together by family and marital ties. In this instance however the ruling class is protected by proles who also function as their willing and enthusiastic armed security apparatus

@Valgoria_ @harbingerofwoke Russia and China have troops stationed n Cuba?

@9benadryls @Platonotov Just *used to

@9benadryls @Platonotov Slavery was almost always ethnic. The Spartans saw themselves as ethnically distinct from the helots. Ethnicities just to define themselves in a much smaller sense. Ownership (and enforcement of ownership) of the means of production is drawn along family or ethnic ties

[Moderate Communist @ModerateCommie]

@9benadryls @Platonotov Do you think ethnicity was incidental to slavery?

[Moderate Communist @ModerateCommie]

@9benadryls @Platonotov So you think the ethnic position and impoverishment of Black Americans is purely incidental?

[Moderate Communist @ModerateCommie]

@bordigaparty I would not say “today” because they are currently locked in a war with America for control of the region. But if America loses and withdraws then yes, quite possibly.

@Ngorongoro64516 @Platonotov I’m not going to pretend that the armed enforcers of capitalism are proletariat just because they’re white

[Moderate Communist @ModerateCommie]

@theomnicommie Does being in the IDF (a mostly reservist force) and supporting what it does, affect one’s class status?

It absolutely does

[Moderate Communist @ModerateCommie]

@Platonotov You’re either woefully under read, or deliberately obtuse in ignoring the relationship between capitalist armies/armed settlers, and the means of production, especially when capitalist is in its highest stage, imperialism.
