I think material conditions should determine whether a nation needs to be liberated or not.

It's not a liberation if they aren't oppressed, nor is it a liberation if the "liberators" are just going to oppress them in the same way.

Okay the cat part is kinda cringe but they have a point: Israel can indoctrinate as many children into being murderous pedophiles as it wants but there will always be those who escape the programming. Most of them will probably end up as liberals who think they can UwUify Zionism into something progressive but some particularly based individuals will be able to see through that bullshit and recognize the white supremacist settler-colonialism for what it is: the same fascist beast that murdered their grandparents in gas chambers.

That being said it's entirely fair to assume any Israeli you meet is not that self-aware. Most aren't and probably will never be.

"I hope they kill you" is not criticism.

If people want to leave that's fine but somebody needs to put in the work necessary to dismantle the empire from within. "Just leave" is a solution for individuals; not the masses as a whole.

Some of us are too poor to leave anyhow.

 

My collection grows!

It's currently very pitiful but I'm constantly working on expanding it. PDFs are nice and all (thank god for Marxists.org) but it's nice to have the physical copies just in case you need them.

I started building my collection around January but I got laid off that month so I was forced to stop and save money. I finally got a job again and after two months of blowing most of my money on credit card debt (and essentials ofc) I'm financially stable enough that I can start getting more books.

Reform or Revolution is the only other Marxist work I have and the first one I got. I also have Trans/Rad/Fem, which is transfeminist theory and not really Marxist, but hey any theory is good and the author really knows her shit. I used to follow her on Bluesky before I got permanently suspended for being mean to Zionists.

I've been eyeing Blackshirts and Reds but there's a lot of other stuff on my wishlist and while I'm somewhat financially stable now I'm not exactly swimming in cash so I can't drop too much money on a bunch of books at one time so it's difficult to decide which to go for first.

Oh I'm sure it's a supremely racist tirade about how Niger's resources belong to France and anti-West Africans are Russian puppets with no agency of their own.

These people genuinely believe Putin is some kind of autocrat lmao.

How they can simultaneously reconcile the fact that oligarchs control Russia with the myth that Putin is all-powerful and controls everything is mindboggling.

They really do seem to believe that everything Russia does is because Putin demands it and that if he were removed it would stop doing those things smh.

Great Man Theory is a blight.

Reddit is genuinely a repulsive place where the worst people with the worst takes go to jerk each other off.

It sucks, thanks for asking.

I'm 28 and have only been living on my own for 2 years while at risk of being homeless every day. 🙃
