      Doesn’t matter what he says after that point, he’s already completely wrong the moment he says Israel has a right to defend itself, there is no such fucking right protecting Israel from Palestinian resistance, and that’s according to UN resolution 2625.

          I know I’ve answered most of your comments, but is this the best you can come up with? And you say we’re the dumb guys who, unlike you, aren’t enlightened with a knowledge that was bestowed upon you perhaps by god himself? At least type out a proper response instead of complaining like a kid.

              Israel IS PREDICATED on the genocide of the Palestinian population. It’s an apartheid state. It cannot exist without doing both of these things.

              Also, violence against settlers is completely justified AND the UN has stated oppressed peoples have every right to resist against occupation (what Israel is doing). To defend Israel is to engage in genocide.

              You’re the one who doesn’t value human life by allowing this population of settlers to oppress MILLIONS of Palestinians.

                  What genocide? Try to clarify your points next time. I am advocating for the liberation of the Palestinian people, which can only be accomplished through the destruction of the state of Israel. I want a state with equal rights for both peoples. If privileged settlers don’t like this, that’s on them!

      Nah, Israel just doesn’t have the right to defend itself because it doesn’t even have the right to exist. It’s a settler colonial regime predicated on the genocide of the Palestinian people.

      Funny how being opposed to genocide all the time, and not just when it is politically convenient, makes us the assholes.

          That’s true, we only oppose genocides that exist, not hypothetical genocides, I guess we really are the baddies after all 😔

              I’m not OP, I didn’t remove anything.

              That doesn’t really answer my question, though. I don’t keep track of everything going on in internal US politics, so I’m curious if sanders has unambiguously acknowledged this is a genocide.

          Come on, you can do better than that. Do you really think “ya’ll are fucking dumb” is a compelling argument? Did we all cower to your intellectual superiority because of some masterfully applied insult?

          I asked because I can’t tell from that statement what your position actually is and I didn’t want to assume you’re just overtly pro-genocide or engaging in genocide denial (as I run into far too often).

      “The Nazis, of course, have a right to defend themselves against the Warsaw Uprising, but they have no right to go to war against the entire population of Warsaw.”

      I’m guessing you agree with this statement?

      We communists are the ultimate assholes. Goes all the way back to a certain Georgian dude who ended up being a total asshole to Hitler (and is exemplified to day by a certain Chinese dude who’s an asshole to billionaires in his country).

              Alright, you finally got something correctly (the definition of communism), I’ll give you that.

              What your ignoring is: capitalist sabotage and that we don’t live in a perfect world. Ask yourself where China and the DPRK were before Socialism and what they managed to accomplish. My point is, contradictions are inherent in every single system and you cannot have communism overnight.

              They’re socialist in the sense that they’re striving towards socialism… what do you think that happens when you have to deal with an overwhelmingly capitalist (and hostile) world? You have to give some concessions.

              Extremely incomplete answer, but maybe read “dialectical and historical mateiralism” some day.

              Edit: forgot to clarify, modern Russia is IN NO WAY socialist. It’s a reactionary shithole and our support for it is only insofar as they oppose Western Imperialism.

          awww did we break your liberal hive mind of racism and genocide apologia? Good. Now, you can choose between two options: be respectful and ask why do we hold these opinions or be a complete jackass (what you chose) and troll us.

          Lastly, if you hate us so much, if you want nothing to do with us, block our instance; it’s that simple. For someone who pretends to be such an open-minded individual, you sure as hell aren’t one…

              We are exposed to propaganda every day. I watch tv I get bombarded with genocide apologia. I see politicians saying migrants are bad and “taking our jobs” while it’s obviously a crisis of capitalism.

              This propaganda has rendered any possible discussion and criticism about capitalism impossible. Every time a communist tries to argue in good faith in some random sub they’re immediately banned.

              So, yes, you’re the one in a hive mind, not any communist. Like I said, try to come up with better answers.

                  Alright, I am keeping an open mind.

                  Ignoring all the dictator bs, we “support” Putin for very different reasons we support Xi: while Xi is a dedicated socialist who has dramatically improved the living standards of Chinese people, Putin serves only to weaken Western Imperialism, which brings me to my next point.

                  You might come here and be confused when we preach stuff like “death to Amerikkka”. After all, how could people that want to fix this chant “death to a country”? This is a common misconception, because what we’re wishing death to are the imperialist world order that keeps the third world poor and is responsible for millions of deaths every year. We do want to liberate the entire world, but first we must destroy the Imperialist chain.

                  Lastly, if we only want to serve corrupt few, as Parenti would say, why do we always side with the powerless? Why do we always stand with the oppressed, even those over 1000km away from us, if all we want is power? Wouldn’t the logical step be to stand with the rich capitalists that control everything?

      Bad-faither…

      The line “Israel has a right to defend itself”, in this context, is more or less a thought-terminating cliche used to justify its long and now current crackdown on Palestinian people, due to their existence being considered as an “aggressor” against the continuation of settler-colonialism and U.S-backed hegemony in the Middle East, for more than 70 years…

      And regardless of how you may say things like “I condemn Hamas, but Israel moreso”, you already fall for the enemy’s framing of the argument…

      Of course, I think you know better than to think history started at Oct. 7… but anyways, step on my **** and call us tankie wankie or some shit… very entertaining stufff
