“The European Union, which was formed for the primary purpose of taking advantage of the United States on TRADE” absolutely incredible mind at work, generational

those are good points.

go behind the party’s back

PSL have not had any contact with this guy since 2017, why are you suggesting he’s in any way linked to them? Why are you repeating the enemy’s lies?

they will use anything to crack down on the movement. they already basically consider anyone who acknowledges Palestinian humanity to be a terrorist. the pace of a reaction is not governed by the conduct of the people who are facing the reaction, but by the radicalisation of those who carry it out and the ability of the targetted group to resist it, and right now the average zionist is as radical and depraved as the average SS commando

That’s great, but I can find plenty of counter-examples of direct US collusion over the past decade with Iraqi groups that are supposed to be part of the “Axis of Resistance”, but whose resistance amounted to a couple of drones flown at the occupied Golan and then stopping when the US threatened them with the same kind of punishment their allies have already been receiving for months. Let alone some of the other factions in the PMF. Would you call them American proxies too?

If we call any group whose actions inadvertently benefit an outside force in some way a proxy then we’re diluting what the term actually means. The Ukraine war is a proxy conflict for the US, as the US directly funds the Ukrainian state and military, and sends mercenaries to fight on their behalf. If, as communists, we’re going to label a left-wing nationalist organisation which originated as part of a Marxist-Leninist organisation as a “proxy for the US” because they’re fighting against a right-wing Islamist government that occasionally fires a missile at israel (but sits idly by while the entity continues to starve millions of people, and did effectively nothing to help Hezbollah when it mattered the most), then what are we even doing anymore?

i hate to use the word “campist” given its history but

i mean if you ignore a large part of the evidence, like the long and continuing history of pro-Kurdish organisations in the west being treated as terrorists, including the British Metropolitan Police raiding a Kurdish community centre a few months ago, then yes, it’s possible to reduce the entire Kurdish nationalist movement, constituting millions of people spread across multiple continents, to “US proxies”

alternatively you could just take a dialectically materialist view and acknowledge that nationalist movements, as with every single political movement in history, are internally contradictory, and of course contains collaborationist elements alongside liberationist elements. Because we’re not reactionaries, and we don’t want to paint entire ethnic/national groups with negative labels as though there’s some collaborationist bone in their brain, right?

i mean like is the point of this to imply that the PKK is a US proxy?

looks cool, but hard to imagine Sankara would have liked this given that he was vehemently against the aggrandisation of politicians and civil servants with public funds.

the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the strategic apparatus of the Chinese government

those evil Chinese communists with their ideologically-driven governance, unlike the West, in which ideology plays no role in lawmaking

india and pakistan are really going for it huh

totally understand why they’re throwing accusations back at the US given the lab leak conspiracism, but there’s no good reason to doubt that the virus crossed over to humans somewhere in southern China given that China is a) a rapidly urbanising country in which the potential for crossover events is significantly greater than in an already-urbanised country like the US, and b) is already known (and has been for decades) to have large natural populations of animals that carry the kind of coronavirus that SARS-COV-2 is. There’s a reason that the first SARS also showed up in this region.

it’s not China’s fault, and they did essentially the best job of any govt on earth at handling the contagion given the scale of the outbreak they were suddenly faced with, but we don’t need to get dragged into shit flinging and start throwing ludicrous accusations to match the enemy’s ludicrous accusations. Better to focus on the facts: China was open about the virus from the get-go, sharing as much information as they could, rapidly carrying out research and giving the world the warning through the established channels; other states such as the US failed to heed that warning and co-operate.
