Another big gripe is that social-democracy is just capitalism, and we are opposed to capitalism.
but that criticism doesn't really hold up when you ARE the global south and it's your resources getting plundered by imperialists
For the same reason, it doesn't work to materially improve conditions for the 3rd world. The only solution is revolutionary socialism.
Seriously it’s fucking nuts. I saw a post on r/judaism, which is a thoroughly zionist sub that I lurk sometimes to see what zionists are saying, about a person complaining that they didn’t feel comfortable wearing a sweater with a latke on it to a party, something really inane like that, because they were scared of antisemitism.
Actually here is the post, just found it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Judaism/s/ZkIh2l7ZsJ
Feeling sad about showing my Judaism this holiday season
After seeing the vile responses to quite a few Hanukkah well wishes posts on social media, I am nervous to share my Jewishness this season. We have my work holiday “ugly sweater” party tonight in our downtown area (large metro city in FL), and I don’t want to wear my ‘spinner spinner latke dinner’ sweater in fear of someone retaliating in public. It’s making me very depressed all around having to think like this.
THERE ARE BABIES UNDER FUCKING RUBBLE, like just the sheer scale of human suffering and devestation in Gaza is so imaginable, and you’re worried about a fucking SWEATER???? what the actual fuck?? I mean don’t get me wrong it really sucks that people feel scared to express their Jewishness and America absolutely is really antisemitic, but this is really pathetic.
”The Palestinian cause is not a cause for Palestinians only, but a cause for every revolutionary, wherever he is, as a cause of the exploited and oppressed masses in our era.” —Ghassan Kanafani, Palestinian revolutionary
Edit: meant to reply to the person you’re replying to, just want to echo the point that Palestinians absolutely accept others advancing their struggle :)
I need a weimar history buff to help me understand this, wasn’t the United Front only created after the “failure” of Comintern’s social fascism theory, where the KPD opposed both the SPD and Nazis equally? (I put failure in quotes because I’m not sure if it actually failed or not)
Or is this meme referring to the earlier 1919 revolution, which was backstabbed by libs?
Not to mention, the american revolution happened because the settlers wanted to keep their slaves, keep expanding their colonies and genociding indigenous people, and didn't want to pay taxes on shit. And it's permissible and noble for them to revolt under those conditions
Meanwhile it's bad when Palestinians rise up when they have been refugees and ethnically cleansed for 75 years
Well, yes of course. But what does landback actually mean in the american context? For example, would it mean expelling all non-indigenous floridians from florida and designating florida as an autonomous indigenous republic as part of a socialist usa? Or is that just a glorified reservation?
I also realize different people may have different answers to this, similar to how some people believe the south should become a separate nation for Black people and others disagree.
If hamas is in germany, does that mean hamas is hiding among the german public and using them as human shields? Does that mean we get to shoot, bomb, starve, kill, and torture germans in schools and hospitals and churches indiscriminately until hamas is eliminated?
Why's it sad for you? As a zoomer, this is amazing news that gives me so much hope. A better world is right around the corner
