@Hezbolsonaro @LegoRacers2 @maoisthnvx_25 Where did I claim I'll demonstrate that? My point in reply to the first tweet was that Islam hasn't become anti-imperialist "only" due to regional conditions. It has historically motivated its followers towards righteous struggle in a way other religions haven't.

@Hezbolsonaro @LegoRacers2 @maoisthnvx_25 learn to read first, understand what's being said and then comment. I'm only responding to this juvenile name-calling cuz see some good people among your followers.

[Omer T @OT_ecoeco]

@maoisthnvx_25 have become the vanguard. Which brings me to ur original tweet and my disagreement with it that Islam hasn't become anti imperialist out of nowhere. The seeds have always been there and the struggle is much older. I'd suggest the book African Caliphate as one ref.

@maoisthnvx_25 ...far better resourced (relatively speaking) than the Islamic resistance groups which existed at that time. Coming to today, we must admit that through the test of time the secularists were proven to be not adequate and those carrying the message of political Islam....

[Omer T @OT_ecoeco]

@maoisthnvx_25 Would love to learn more about that history, could u pls point me to some refs? To your other point, yes socialist pan-Arabist resistance groups were more popular in the 70s but that could also be due to the material support by USSR and the Western Left, making them.....

[Omer T @OT_ecoeco]

@maoisthnvx_25 you're making my point for me. The examples u r citing are all comm/socs getting inspiration from spiritual traditions not the tradition itself being the main ideology. Hamas, AnsarAllah, Hizbullah etc have only Islam as their ideology and they're the vanguard of anti imperialism

[Omer T @OT_ecoeco]

@LegoRacers2 @maoisthnvx_25 The western mind can have whatever orientalist ideas, it doesn't matter. But were the Vietnamese fighters deriving ideological material from Buddhist texts or Marxist texts? The AoR derives its strength from the Islamic tradition quite explicitly and clearly.

@levantophile trading, commerce, contracts, and private (personal) property do not make capitalism. Ownership by few of the means of production (i.e. the capitalist class) and their control over the economy makes capitalism.

@FoodForestNetwk they could support both SDF and Jolani's forces (as they've done previously) and continue the civil war that way. Why not do that? Much simpler explanation is that the US's first preference was always getting their man in.

Canada has scrapped its only dedicated federal mechanism for reviewing allegations of human rights abuses by Canadian companies abroad—while its new free trade deal with Ecuador grants sweeping protections to Canadian mining investors. @MiningWatch https://t.co/gbMnUmex2k

Deniers are going to say that the extreme heat of the coming El Niño is just "natural variability," but:

"Analysis of hundreds of years of climate records reveals that El Niño events are getting stronger due to human-caused climate change."

Trump’s tariff threats expose a deeper truth. For decades, foreign ownership and continental integration have tied Canada’s fortunes to US power. Socialist thinkers have long warned that sovereignty without economic independence is an illusion. https://t.co/oSxILPhG6o

I've been told by a very reliable source that the Israeli regime's US lobby was behind The Guardian's anti-Iranian letter.

I just uploaded to my substack a study I conducted on Israeli arms trading since 1960. I hope you'll read to get a sense of the mathematical contours of a death cult disguised as a Jewish "state"
