A billionaire who once joked ‘COMMUNISM IS GREAT…UNLESS YOU LIKE FOOD! OWNAGE!!!’ is a communist? How? Because he once proclaimed himself to be a socialist based on his brainless redefinition of socialism?

Anticommies are so fucking petty.

The Weimar Republic’s. Reprivatization was something that economists coined for the Third Reich.

Fascist Italy practised apartheid.

Anticommunists have been massacring us for a very long time. I know better than to expect them to care about their atrocities.

Usually they respond to this with ‘but I didn’t mention anything about gay people’ and explain that anybody acting obsequious to a dictator should be shameful.

My question is, why should anyone resort to a sexual metaphor to emphasise that someone is acting obsequious? The only implication that I can draw from that is that sex is supposed to be disgraceful, which is presumably not what these dullards intend but the metaphor makes no sense elsehow. Sex — even if it be with a ‘dictator’ — should be understood merely as a private affair instead of a disgrace.

Imperial America’s entry into World War II was not just.

Do anticommunists… not know that the Republic of Cuba, the DPRK, and a few other people’s republics still exist?

Or do anticommunists think that history only happens in predominately ‘White’ countries?

Standing with these terrorist groups is the opposite of standing with the Lebanese, the Palestinians, the Iranians, and the Yemenis.

As if standing with the IDF were at all better. What a joke.

Any simpleton with a basic grasp of modern Palestinian history can surmise that the ‘State of Israel’ was ultimately a product of European colonialism. Otherwise, al-Quds/Jerusalem would not have looked like this:

Prime Minister David Ben‐Gurion opposed the establishment of a Holocaust memorial day and referred to the survivors as the “dust of human beings”.

Captain Obvious isn’t antisemitic, Herzlians.

Just because liberals voted for the Fascists in 1924, repeatedly praised Fascism in the press, applauded the Fascists for suppressing worker demonstrations, trained dozens of Fascist cadets, elected politicians sympathetic to Fascism, repeatedly overlooked or trivialized Fascist oppression, chanted “Deutschland, Deutschland über alles!” alongside Fascists in German government chambers, suppressed militant antifascists regularly, signed a naval pact with Fascists, extended credit to Fascists, signed military alliances with the Fascists, partitioned Czechoslovakia for the Fascists, tolerated businesses that marketed products (including oil and nickel) to Fascists, became economically critical to the Axis war machine, provided bank accounts for Fascists, bailed out Axis businessmen, held more Axis POWs than Jewish refugees, collaborated with self‐identified fascists, directly incorporated former Axis intelligence into the state, started Operation Paperclip and kept the employés, started Operation Bloodstone, appointed former Axis leaders to high ranks within the NATO, accepted surviving Axis collaborators as party members, endorsed an underground network of neofascists, allow monuments to Axis collaborators, martyrize Axis collaborators, and contribute to neofascism in Ukraine, doesn’t mean that liberalism enables fascism or fascists.

Name one time that liberalism enabled fascism.

To very calmly and very politely express their disagreements with Stalin’s totalitarian government.

‘WE ZIONISTS ARE PERFECTLY NORMAL PEOPLE!’

I thought about writing a note likening this to colonial powers despoiling indigenous populations, but I decided against it on the grounds that the similarities were too obvious. Perhaps that would have made my topic more interesting anyway, though. What do you think?

Thank you. I struggle with mental illness but I still have the decency to tell that supporting an apartheid régime is not in our best interest. The reasons that so many Yankees approve of it are fairly complex and can’t be boiled down to a disability.

Ke Dio bendiga a Palestina.

Wow! A dying empire doesn’t want to waste resources for decades fighting another war that it can’t win‽

I’m so surprised!

Japanese nationalists control Japan’s education system. Of course ordinary Japanese students are not going to learn about the Empire of Japan’s easily verifiable atrocities, just like how the settler population in the Levant is highly unlikely to learn about the Nakba in schools.

The upper classes’ armies have plenty of reasons to commit massacres: it makes theft easier, it frees up land for settlers, it eliminates economic competitors, and it enforces dominance. The Imperialists were not evil for the sake of being evil; their immorality benefited them.

The atrocities against Nanjing were not something that a Chinese propagandist made up long after the fact. It is easy to find sources from the late 1930s detailing them. Here:

A 1938 book partly about the Imperial atrocities in Nanking.

Telegram detailing the atrocities, dated January 19, 1938.

NSFL article from LIFE, dated May 16, 1938.

Is it just me, or are we suffering more technical difficulties than usual?

For a while I could tolerate them, but now they’re slowly killing my interest in revisiting this network; I’d rather be replaying computer games.
