I feel very much the same way and I think you’re right. I did not understand the whole moderate or left wing of fascism concept until these past few months and now that I do, I see that Bernie is absolutely not an ally. As America becomes more fascist so do it’s defenders with it.

Oh yes because there only the 2 types of people I gave as examples who voted leave. No more nuance to it than that of course.

A broken clock is right twice a day. We did not leave the EU for the long-term betterment of the working class but it is something which we have gained. If we want better working rights, we need to organise within our own country for major changes not join a capitalist, imperialist entity for mild concessions.

The EU is a capitalist cult, if the working class of Britain want a better Britain we should stay out of the EU. Yes, many voted leave because they’re anti-immigrant flagshaggers types but many were also misled, such as my mum, who believed the narrative that if we left the EU the NHS would get more funding.

Fuck off back to reddit with this libshit take.

or the “this isn’t real capitalism, Adam Smith would’ve hated this” type of take

It’s scary though, the same shit is kind of happening in the UK and I just hope it leads to something good one day

I know being dogmatically anti-US everything is, well, dogma but yeah Iran is probably going to get worse off from these protests. Their current leadership is far from perfect but at least they’re not monarchal puppets of the west.

Have a well-educated ideological preference (everyone has their own opinion on what is most logical and moral) but understand that if you cling to every word and idea you become a dogmatist because you are no longer analysing but just repeating what someone else has told you.

I mean, it depends what your definition of leftist is, all the communists I know here in the UK have been very much against the invasion.

• US is still bad with Trump gone
• Israel is still bad with Netanyahu gone
• UK is still bad with Starmer gone
• France is still bad with Macron gone
• Capitalist Russia is still bad with Putin gone

It is not the individuals at fault, it is the system and it’s ruling class and this is evident if you actually educate yourself, so please do.

Gotcha

what are the issues you have with him? Just curious as I have engaged with some of his content and not seen any red flags yet myself but it’s not like I have thoroughly researched his character

even r/conservative on reddit, the vast majority seem to be against it. That might change though once the propaganda goes on overdrive e.g. Fox News.

Could it be as simple as that the ultra wealthy want a culture war instead of a class war and so they blur the surface level cultural differences between the two primary classes in capitalist society? Or maybe it’s a fascist thing, white unity rather than proletarian unity.

Ermmm, actually USA good because capitalism and white people, China bad because communism and not white people. It is literally this simple you silly tankie /s

This is why:

Please stop using George Orwell for similes & metaphors. His works were pushed by the West as anti-communist propaganda, portraying a false equivalence of the far left being just as bad as the far right. There are plenty of better sci-fi dystopia authors out there which are overshadowed by this pathetic man.

But aside from that, fuck this fascist government and I wish you all the best with your case

I wish I could learn Marxism-Leninism through a tutor, as ADHD makes it difficult to read theory by myself & my own will, and not just actually read it, but also memorise / internalise what I am reading. I don’t have the money to go abroad and enrol in some communist university course in an AES country, and I imagine that would put me under government surveillance too, if I am not to some extent already on a list. And, I don’t find online courses retain my attention anywhere near as well as in-person classes do. Anyway sorry for ranting, some of my examples:

Kindness & cruelty, dry & wet, loud & quiet, inside & outside, existence & inexistence, intact & damaged, fast & slow, progress & regress, chaos & tranquility, violence & peace, focus & blur, desire & aversion.
