As much as I hate the tankies that love the IRCG because they are too dumb to understand that two things can be bad.
I think western meddling would also be bad, so far Mosad has taken responsibility ISIS style (it’s a win-win for them, the more paranoid and brutal Iran act the better they look)
Same as Hitler got for the Putsch, not sure this is enough, but weeks love to hear what Koreans think, is his base broken?
Who said I’m against it?
Recognizing the material factors that led to it’s creation, doesn’t make me opposed to it.
There is a strong correlation between the use of (internal) migrant workers and preventing work place organizing, wether it’s the US, EU, UK, China or Dubai.
It’s uncontroversial to say this about the expansion of the EU, yet for some reason people are in denial about the same tactic being used in China just because they have a red flag.
That’s a nice fantasy but not connected to reality, as impressive as China’s HSR network is (largely by necessity to make sure there is a large enough migrant workforce available to break any worker organizing), car ownership is on the rise: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-024-03173-4
Also Tankies argue about developing productive forces via capitalism, keeping prices artificially high doesn’t help with that, but Tankies say a lot of dumb shit so I guess it’s to be expected.
Tankies: China must go through it’s capitalist phase to achieve true communism in 2069
CCP: woah there, don’t want too much capitalism making stuff too cheap.
I doubt it, seems like he’s saying this while forces aligned with him are killing kurds is just to persuade suckers (e.g Tankies).
Not sure what you think that proves, people can infact take weapons from people while still retaining free will.
Pretending YPG & ISIS are the same because they both took weapons from the world’s largest arms dealer is beyond stupid.
So when ISIS was fighting the kurds, what was that just inter-CIA deployments 🤣?
Not sure I trust a site still pushing “Cartel of the Suns” stuff, not a fan of Maduro but this site seems sus.
Did South Park do this as a bit already?
Sure buddy everyone from the YPG to ISIS (and all the factions in between) were just the CIA 🤣
If that had happened in the US, Trump would be flattening cities and the media would be cheering him on.
And yet here you are cheering it on (because you fell for Mosad propaganda that this is all orchistrared by them)
There’s a lot of overlap between the anti-imperialist view that nobody outside of the core has any agency and the imperialist view that nobody outside of the core has any agency.
killed over a hundred police officers
Oh no some cops got hurt, only right-wingers & Tankies cry about that shit.
Killing 100x as many people as cops, are you really believing that everyone at the protests is a paid agitator?
I guess if you had the ability to self reflect a out how similar you are to right wingers, you wouldn’t be a tankie though.
Sure, but that doesn’t make the Iranian state massacring people good either.
Have you considered that 2 things can be bad at once?
It’s ok they are a minority, hence the downvotes, I just wish Lemmy would auto hide/fold comments below -3.
Tankies are just nationalists for other countries, it’s why they’re so boring and predictable in their retoric and have no problem dehumanizing anyone they disagree with, especially women. They claim to be “socialist” or “communist”, but really they’re just MLs who worship Stalin (& other dictators) not because of any progress they achieved in the countries they dictated (it was often minimal beyond an initial boom due to getting rid of the previous dictator) but because they said cool rhetoric against the West (often while collaborating with Western capitalists or even Nazis).
They’re also loud and unpopular, the way we beat them on Lemmy is simply to grow the userbase of normal users to the point where the tankies posting their insane takes is just background noise.
