This is a Zionist defense of Israel by conflating antisemitism with anti-Zionism.
I see where you are going. Well, how anti Zionism and antisemitism are interconnected is subject to the current scientific debate and I won't start a fundamental discussion on this topic with you. What is important for me in the end is, that I am standing against the left that is openly sympathizing with the Hamas.
The modern left-right discourse is just so confusing to me.
I've seen authoritarians, supporters of war crimes, and support for terrorism and cruelty, all claimed as leftist positions. I can't reconcile them with what I thought left-wing values were about.
I really think we need something with more dimensions to be popularized. The left-right system is just so loaded at this point. I personally can't identify with either side at all.
(Alt-)"Left" != Left, and in fact shares far more in common with Right (aka: fascism).
Sure, if you're a politically illiterate centrist
For clarity, stethoscope theory is bullshit based on vibes. Communists support collectivizing production and distribution, and support states where the working classes are in charge, including their right to build up defensive mechanisms to protect the gains of socialism. This is entirely incompatible with the right-wing, who seek to maintain the dominion of capitalism.
Do you support Russia invading Ukraine because it epic pwns NATO?
or
Do you agree Russia is engaging in genocide of Ukrainians, ex. forced relocation of children?
