DON’T INVITE HIM to your Palestine event.
i hate leftcom purists please may they debate themselves into nonexistence
Have you seen Socialism 4 All on YouTube? He’s a huge anti-Dengist and even made a community post the other day promoting the Green’s over PSL, saying in the comments that PSL are revisionists on China but should know better because of some 2007 article from their liberation school which is I guess harsher on China than they are now. I read some of the article and it seemed to be saying that capitalist restoration sucks, but that any replacement of the CCP would lead to a much worse situation for the Chinese people overall. And then goes into a historical and class analysis of why China ended up where it is. It’s annoying because he does great work making audiobooks for everything but he has BadEmpanada streamer syndrome in droves for sure.
nah thats just normal anti revisionism tbh
Where’s the distinguishing line? Earnest question
the line is like denouncing china and calling it inherently anti socialist. the proper thing is to critique the ‘socialist’ market economy. Criticism to improve instead of to just hate on china to fulfill some lib ass requirement.
Western left keeps doing purity test to global south movement and ostracize themselves to the point of joining the neo-conservatives camp
In a time when World War 3 seems just on the horizon, a western settler colonial project is actively genociding Arabs, and the global South is being increasingly squeezed by financial imperialism, we need to come together as socialists and focus on the urgent, pressing issues: stopping the tankies.
Side note: I keep seeing these ultraleft/anarchist wrecker types bring up Tigray. Can anyone explain to me why?
Let us admit that deep down, our problem with the tankies, is that they seem to be having a lot of fun in those tanks. I mean, have you seen what a tank does to a Toyota Corolla when you drive over it? Just pure joy, and we are joyless because we are tankless.
It’s all just so fucking stupid. I hope they protest the event so he can just go off on them lol.
Skimming a bit:
I guess the formerly Marxist-Leninist Tigray Liberation Front was the one who crushed the ‘tankie’ DERG, which was admittedly f-ed up, however, when they ruled from the 1990s to 2010s, they seemingly did jackshit, if not worse, for Ethiopia, with its Tigray sectarianism and opposition to the two other main ethnic groups: the Amhara and Oromo
Ultimately, when a new president of a different came to rule, they started a western-backed civil war against them
As always, burger-brain faux-leftists are the scum of the earth. I wouldn’t spit on those “”“leftists”“” to help them if they were on fire.
Like I always say, if you live in the first world and actively oppose the third, you effectively support the first world (imperialism)
Also I don’t recognize any of those losers
“Tankie ideology is fundamentally racist”
Against who, Hungarians?

Damn Hungarians, they ruined paprika

As an
trust me when I say that anarchists that call Melbourne “naarm” are one of the worst parts of our slacktivist class.While we are all actively opposed to US imperialism
actively

I’m sure their twitter account is active.
yet even that is focused on ‘tankies’
I found the org that probably initiated the campaign. Consider bullying them.

On their about page:
3/ Disrupt and shut down the military-industrial complex in NZ and globally through non-violent direct action and respecting a diversity of tactics.
Like…how? Seriously, how? Like, I’m not saying non-violent civil disobedience isn’t a good strategy - it has worked in the past against some governments in some situations. But… tell me fucking how do you intend to non-violently shut down the goddamn military-industrial complex globally.
What the actual fuck.
Like, do you even hear yourselves?
respecting a diversity of tactics
violent ones too, right
We are a network of socialist and leftist organisers united by a conviction that workers’ self-emancipation, anti-imperialism, decolonisation, anti-authoritarianism, internationalism and feminism are integral parts of a socialist politics for the 21st century. We are alarmed by the growing influence of US-centred campist politics spreading on the left.
So let’s, a group of mostly Australian and Kiwi “leftists”, go after an Indian guy.
Also there’s nothing else on that page. I Googled “People Against All Imperialisms” and there’s no org.
These are the “leftists” who would’ve supported (by not being against) the NATO bombing of and destruction of Libya, because “both sides bad”.
