the next islamic golden age will be global shia communism

Now I see exactly why the Saudis see the Houthis as the fucking horsemen of the apocalypse. They are, at least from the perspective of the monarchists.
Many don't know that several of the ansarallah leaders are avowed socialists
Genuinely surprised that the western media hasn't tried to smear them by claiming they are "evil commie dictators". I suppose they're all in on the "primitive desert savages" propaganda instead.
There's enough racism in the western ""left"" to make it more viable to focus on the Islamic aesthetics and not the socialist ones.
I guess, they found out that red scare isn’t as effective anymore
It's more that introducing nuance to these things is not effective propoganda. You give people a line and stick to it, confusing the matter encourages investigation and independent thinking. Give them a simple answer ("They hate us for our freedoms") and they will repeat it forever, with only nerds wanting to make that phrase make sense.
It's like how liberals still portray Russia as communist.
Suppose some of that has lineage to the People's Republic of South Yemen. Yemen's socialist history is woefully underappreciated (even amongst us!)
Is that Castro pinned to the AK?
