Ok you're really shitting me here. Yes, rape as well. My fucking point is that the Western ideal about "my body my choice" is not present in Iran because THAT IS NOW HOW PEOPLE SEE IT THERE.
>Umm you don't mention about abortion in case of incest so you're larping
Shut the fuck up bitch thats not what i mean, and you know thats now what i mean when i made that post. Dont play word games so you can avoid my main point

Iranian bourgeois and especially their children don't agree with you. They are all about decadence.

>>2652799
Yes that's why they all went to fucking Canada and larps as based anti imperialists there who pretended that the Islamic system is no degenerating and that there is no rejuvenation needed to save the state. At this point i'd prefer NIAC to take over because they at least present the possibility of reforming the state without collapsing it

This year in the magazine we have plans to feature a variety of women as models. Of course the large majority of the internet left doesn't have any love for sex workers of any sort, and has a very puritan view of sexuality that I've always thought is alien to the reality of the masses, or atleast those engaged in alternative lifestyles. A lot of it is madonna/whore complex driven, and despite claims otherwise, many are restricted by their protestant christian views on these topics, even if they don't or never did identify as such, the superstructure still influences.

I want to create a strong juxaposition between the inceldom of the right wing, the redpill "men going their own way" misogyny that ultimately alienates young men from the very thing they seek with a sex positive narrative that says "look at the life style you could have if you had some fucking principles". I have never really liked the puritan outlook the online left has on social workers (read: you can get banned from the deprogram subreddit if you are one). Literally have been approached by numerous women about being in the magazine, all ideologically aligned women mind you, and I've consistently made the editorial choice to turn this down. I've always been afraid of allegations of "working for the male gaze" or "male chauvism" in regards to doing that, while also fearing the backlash from the online left for having that sort of content in the magazine.

But I know a few women who would love to do that sort of thing for the magazine, and my literal editorial partner is a lesbian woman telling me that its a good idea, so you know, fuck it, let's do it. Being a rightoid is so uncool.

"Random individuals aren't willing to read Capital, that must mean Marx was at fault" is an insane leap of logic.

Careful anon. There are still retards here who maintain that Hamas won and Israel lost. You will get called Moshe if you continue talking like this.

That's everything isn't it?

It's all PR and you can't outspend the burgeoisie. Like, pro-Palestine people aren't being honest either. Not in a bad way, I just think it's self defeating to promote anti-zionism and justice for Palestinians while divorcing it from the material consequences of what would happen.

Which is to say, the US/NATO losing their control over "Israel" and over MENA and probably collapsing along the petrodollar as regional interests become more prevalent. Or the region needing a forever GWoT to keep the compradors in place. OR whatever, really. It would had a very big material impact in the region and in US/NATO. A movement with those goals is already at odds with every single mainstream party not currently chanting "death to America", if those exist in the west.

Whatever the specifics, losing their unsinkable carrier would be a tremendous material blow for the US/NATO.

My point is, the Palestinian advocates and even the resistance mostly refuses to acknowledge the link between Palestinian struggle and anti US imperialism. THAT is the height of the enemy, that is their actual power. But activists for some reason think that they can battle it out through PR alone, build nothing material and then act surprised when bottom falls out at the whims of the bourgeois media apparatus.

I'm sorry to say, but it will keep happening, and the only thing being achieved in the west is normalizing whatever the Zionist policy is, even now. Because the pro-Palestine movement directs people to play "fantasy-football" within the culture war rather than politically organize. It is not an apolitical, or big-tent issue, it's not a matter of morals. That is the lie from above. As long as that's the line, then it'll continue being a PR thing fought on the culture war, gatekept by mainstream media.

>>2652342 (me)
Like what do these people expect of the places which reap all the benefits but suffer none of the colonial tensions? Do Palestinian advocates really think that moral outrage is just enough to cause the world hegemon and it's close allies to commit suicide by abandoning MENA?

You have to be kidding me. There is NOTHING an apolitical pro-Palestine movement can offer that liberal Zionism can't do better (and with the full support of capital).

people on here still struggle to understand this because they come to Marx before getting rid of their humanist liberal brainworms which causes them to think internationalism is in opposition to "nationalism" when really it's in opposition to imperialism, while "nationalism" is divided into the chauvinist nationalism of the imperialist nations versus the liberatory nationalism of the colonized nations. To put it in lib terms: some forms of nationalism "punch down", and others "punch up"

>refuse to make a deal with Assad
You've got it backwards. Assad was the one who refused to make a deal to reintegrate Rojava as part of a federal Syria, despite his Russian allies urging him to do so. His intransigence and incompetence ensured the death of Syria's secularism and independence.

Tabqa status?

>>2652494
The SDF could've never agreed to any deal. Even if Assad wanted to, even if Russia managed to make him to, the SDF attached themselves to America who wanted Assad gone no matter what.

The only hope left for the middle east is another Arab spring, but based and socialist.

>>2652396
I don't get what's funny, the Assadists lost, the Kurds lost, the only thing left is Jolani's totally-not islamist regime.
