I think lifting millions of LGBT people out of abject poverty has actually massively improved the lives of LGBT people
I know they have ties with those fascists. but the BBC didn’t need to take Israeli money to run 100 stories over the past 2 years about the fear of refugees and the government doing nothing to stop ‘illegal immigration’. that rhetoric, a decade of ‘hostile environment’ by the tories, the islamophobia of the Blair years, the Murdooc press and their well documented anglo fascism ect that all adds up a lot more than Tommy Robbinson gets to go to Magaluf every year paid for by Israel
islamaphobia is nothing new. the UK riots are genuinely not that surprising. when you feed people hings about small boat migrants and how Islam is at odds with ‘British values’ for 20 years yeah eventually some shit is gonna kick off. during election campaigning Sarmer went on a whole tirade about Bangladeshis. this is pure home grown fascism, we don’t need India or Israel to do it for us, the UK media have been even trying to spin a narraive this was foreign disinfo as opposed to their own fascism

All it took for Ireland to erode its legacy of decolonial struggle was the influence of one black mass murderer not even from Ireland, Barrack Obama
The Free state treatyists have always been the patsies of Anglo imperialism .
as much as I support our boys in green, the restarting of the troubles would more than likely actually damage the republican cause right now, they have a very strong position. Sinn Fein are both the largest party in Northern Ireland, but also the largest party and leaders of the opposition in the Republic. they are using this position to legitimise the provisions within the GFA for a referendum on Irish reunification and have set up a All-Ireland Forum on Unity to bring this about in both halves of Ireland. the armed republican groups which currently exist do not have a unified platform, goal, base, or heading.
I respect that Corbyn is a good MP for his constituency and all, and a principled representitive of that constituency. but jesus fuck that man is too tied to his personal loyalty to Labour. why did it take him so long to start and independent campaign? why did he go nowhere with Enough is Enough? (I partly blame Mick Lynch for this too and his ties to Labour) why does he not start some form of wider socialist party with this massive independent socialist MP movement that won 5 seats inculding his own? join the greens or start your own movement, shit or get off the pot to put it lightly
like, I’d seen Twitter post on here loads, and then they literally replied ‘sieg heil’ yesterday to GrownBravy when they called them fash. some men will literally rather be a nazi than do a tiny drop of internal critique over a bland pop feminist take
I genuinely can’t get over some closet chud went full actual psycho nazi posting, yes nazi posting, because of pumpkin spice latte
the NHS or on demand ice cubes. I mean wow, fuck, he’s really got me wavering here
it’s a difficult topic to talk about because, as I said, a total lack of solid sources. everything is heavily biased to one side or the other. and, not to sound like a centrist, but sometimes truly the history is somewhere in the middle. many of those under Makhno really did see themselves as the true embodiment of peasant liberty, as did Trotsky at the head of the Red Army. I do not think Mahkno was a ‘bad’ person, I think he truly saw himself as a revolutionary, I do not think he was equipped to carry out that revolution. I think it is always a tragedy when leftists turn on one another in sectarian violence, especially in such a revolutionary moment when every person matters so much more to defend that revolution. to me, the answer of what was best, to leave them alone or to some how gain control of Ukraine? has to be that the Ukrainian anarchists never would have held off counter revolution or foreign intervention like the Red Army had to time and time again.
so one of the problems is a lack of primary sources. we have Makhno’s words himself, and we have what the newly founded Soviet Union who crushed them said. there is not any primary source that anybody is going to call ‘unbiased’ and so, you can find things which portray Makhno as a bandit piece of shit who actually wanted to kill all the jews in Ukraine, and you can find things about being a staunch defender of the liberty of the peasants of Ukraine.
I’ll play my cards and say that I am a Marxist Leninist, and so quite obviously a fan of the Soviet Union in this era. I do think that in the long term the soviet union was far more stable than a roving peasant army which failed to build many institutions in a time of crisis, but it’s no secret that Trotsky got a lot of people killed unnecessarily for quite flimsy reasons where negotiations could very much have far lessened the bloodshed if not avoided it outright.
history is not an outright ‘these are the good guys who did nothing wrong, and these are the bad guys who were 100% evil’
thank you for your service o7
