i mean it seems morally correct for westoids to be given punishment like we disgustingly gave to the global south, at least to me

i apologize if i sound rude or hateful

    Comrade, this is bizarre self flagellation that is neither helpful, nor permissible behavior. Further, referring to human beings as westoids is concerning, and is entirely devoid of any Marxist analysis. Dehumanization helps no one and is in all instances disgusting.

    You do not help the global south by “enduring punishment”, you are not a Catholic seeking repentance.

    Wishing harm onto millions of the working class is not how we advance a party line or conduct analysis. Mass dehumanization and repression is the tool of fascist thought.

    i've seen plenty of comrades on here and reddit use the term while being anti-imperialist, as long as they're fighting western forces they are allies i feel

    besides if "westoid" is concerning then comrades can just say it amongst each other right? like the movement needs masses, just keep the westerns from hearing what the world rightfully sees them as and there wouldn't be a problem i think, maybe

    i'm not being aggressive and i apologize if i sound so, just stating my logic

    You're fine as far as I'm concerned. There's a bit of tone policing and lesser evilism going on in this thread. I think it's fine to get angry at western white complicity given the times, especially if you're from the global south, and to express that anger. Truth is, a lot of "liberal left" ideology is based on white supremacy, the saviour complex etc, even if they dont say the quiet part out loud. Getting sick of it and going, "no, you're the lesser people!" is understandable, IMHO.
