That's a very long way of saying that they are complicit in Israel's genocide because it benefits them.

Yes, it's a purely ceremonial procedure, but at the same a veto would be used as a pretense for escalation, both in palestine and internationally, while the US still does whatever it wants.
You're demanding that they essentially make a moral gesture for literally no benefit or even causing harm.

Unlike the western left, China doesn't brazenly treat other peoples' lives as pocket change for the sake of scoring moral victories.

The western left is deeply christian, they want china to climb up on a cross and absolve them of their sins, and get really angry when they don't do that.

>Things are going to continue to happen in the stupidest ways possible that no one really takes seriously, where every single person compulsively reacts with either cynical grifting or useless panic and appealing to a political system of liberal democracy that is entirely dead and irrelevant. things will continue to get gradually worse, more people will lose their jobs and homes, the most destitute and marginalized will be oppressed by state-backed domestic terrorism, but the decay will simply continue and everyone who isn't actively being imprisoned and forced into slavery or outright exterminated will simply ignore it and maintain a cognitive dissonance of believing a civil war is happening while living their lives in a mostly normal fashion.

Good for you. Now it's about putting Joe Slovo thought into practice. There is a considerable amount of work, such as "Prospects for Armed Struggle in South Africa" and "Road to South African Freedom"

https://www.marxists.org/history/international/comintern/sections/sacp/1962/road-freedom.htm

Road to SA Freedom is here and it's particularly enlightening if you're white.

Israel is occupied palestine so all that value actually went to palestine. Chinese power plants, ports, and goods alleviate poverty of palestinians. To demand China to never deal with Palestine is to demand Palestinians be poorer. Communist China also invests billions into ameriKKKan power plants. Those power plants will become critical objectives in the next phase of People War and highest burden to occupying force.

>Europoor

It's becoming increasingly clear that the majority of proles in Europe and North America are being brainwashed by their phones into believing immigration is the biggest issue in their countries. I have largely ignored this issue, as I don't really think it matters but then, last night, there was a lumpen riot in Dublin against an IPAS centre in which a foreign national who had been denied asylum and was told to "self-deport" had apparantly raped a 10 year old girl who was under state care. I usually don't believe a lot of the lies told about "migrants" online but this case makes me feel particularly uncomfortable.

It was a clear failure from the neoliberal Irish government and it's institutions that allowed something like this to happen. Why wasn't this man deported immediately after being denied asylum? Too expensive, apparently. Why was this man allowed to be in a situation where he could sexually abuse a child? Why is this man in my country in the first place? Ofc, the Free State institutions are keeping silent on it, pissing off people even more.

So, how do leftists feel about immigration and the current asylum process? Obviously, I understand this wouldn't be an issue if western corps weren't raping the third world but I also think there is a discussion to be had. Are open borders in the current world really working? Would they work post-capitalism? How do you feel about immigration, positively or negatively?

>It’s not easier or more fruitful, porky dumping massive amounts of reactionary’s in the west actively makes a revolution impossible
Yes, it's why the pro-monarch reactionaries that held a large foot hold in Russia were able to stop the revolution dead in its tracks! Wait, that's not right. No, its why the nationalist forces that held a large foot hold in China were able to kill the revolution outright! Wait, that's not right either. No, it's why the Vietnamese nationalists were able to consolidate their sizable numerical military advantage to make communism an impossibility in borders of Vietnam! Wait, shit, that doesn't sound right either…

Idk, maybe the revolutions of the past dealt with way harder conditions then we have and still won you sissy. Want to show me your basis for the US dumping "massive amounts of reactionaries" (as if the most revolutionary period in the US's history didn't coincide with some of the biggest influxes of immigration in its history with people twice as reactionary as we have now) and how even if that was the case, how that makes revolution impossible?
>They’re already split, a worker that’s watching his suburb become majority migrant in his lifetime is always going to become anti-immigrant in response, no matter how much some impotent vanguardist trys to convince him not to, trying to reverse the flow of migrants will always be the top of his priorities instead of organising for a revolution, unless this revolution is anti immigrant
Just throw in any minority group in the past for "migrant" while you're at it there.
Playing up to the anxieties of the white american suburbanite is the stupidest argument you could have made in support of your "policy", it's like sucking the dick of old money WASPs during the Great Wave and expecting to milk communism out of it. His focus on "reversing the flow of migration" as opposed to revolution makes him the type of person who is focused on keeping "his", and who could care less for revolution no matter how many migrants you sell out for his sympathy. Seriously, why would he bother supporting a communist revolution that could have an inkling of destabilizing his comfy landed existence, when he could just support a national bourgeoisie party instead that will stomp on other proles for himPost too long.

>You're not a communist, you're a petty bourgeoisie fellating nationalist that's disenfranchised and contrarian enough to try and take "communist" as a title because you're embarrassed to swirl around the dregs of the interent as merely a socdem.

Many such cases on this site, the ideathay everyone will have to adapt to the whims and feelings of western suburbanites is disgusting.

I support immigration because I want the West to become more proletarianised and/or more rabidly reactionary (and therefore less capable of intelligent competent imperialism).

well, a nato proxy did anyway (kursk)

>>2566915
He didn’t say a proxy would invade, openly NATO would invade and, assuming a NATO invasion would be more successful than the inkurskion, that Russia would let Moscow fall without firing a single nuke.

2026 is upon us and NATO still has yet to outright steal Russian assets and discussions about sending a NATO detachment to Ukraine in some at-least-initially non-combat role have gone no where.

Iron Felix, and some within NATO no doubt, see the proxy war as testing the waters with whether an open war with Russia is possible without it going nuclear. But in this bottle of bubbly goodness’ opinion, if that was the plan then we’d haven been discussing the occupation of Kaliningrad all these years rather than a proxy conflict in Ukraine.

>>2566866
>>2566863
>>2566845
The fundamental credibility of nuclear deterrence did still limit the size and scope of the Kursk push that counterfactually, could have marshalled its counteroffensyiiv reserves there instead of Zaporizhia. A military pantomine where both sides are in the know that the force must be credibly weak enough to be defeated conventionally so the actual nuclear option is not the rational resort.

This branches into a larger point that perhaps MAD has permanently ended the true potential of war as a tool of capital destruction to delay the crisis of profit. No crisis large enough to justify state capacity marshalling bourgeois surplus; destroying old capital and pruning inefficient allocation can ever happen again. Instead this only occurs to a degree in periphery states under siege conditions and not at all in the core; whose rentier interest now hijack war economy spending towards their own financialised engines rather than output maximisation. Plus with unmotivated political economy the transfer of surplus to fuel war spending comes not from coercive limitations on profit margins but what remains of the welfare state.

Has there ever been a materialist explanation for why western socialist and communist groups are overwhelmingly white, relatively gender balanced and majority cis (disregarding pronoun nonsense)?

Whereas the membership of contemporary rightoid fascist groups is disproportionately hispanic, Indian or otherwise nonwhite, overwhelmingly male, and rife with pedophiles, perverts and other abusers?

the evil bolsheviks killed 60 gorillion white christians and conservatives. This was so extreme that thy were virtually all eliminated. This is why all white nationalists nowadays are brown

>>2555151
Tories are barely right wing, they would be democrats in the US. Yes your post is hitlerite nonsense. It ignores religion (Hindus tend to vote conservative, Muslims vote Labor and new leftist parties like Greens), it ignores the large number of minorities in Labor. you ignore these things to make some dumb point about "cultural rejects" moving to the right. Also ignoring the right is moving towards Reform which is overwhelming white

Its only true for internet lover who browser image boards any where else it's the opposite.

There are two types of "right wing". Ethnonationalist right and civic nationalist right. Ethnonationalist right are almost entirely white. Civic nationalist right are majority white, but does have some minorities in it.

The left in most countries has a much bigger minority presence, since the left is (or at least claims to be) the defenders of minority rights.

So in short OP you should take your hitlerite proganda and shove it up your ass. The ethnic nationalist right continues to be irrelevant, and the civic nationalist right continues to eat it's lunch and cuck it out of politics.



 

Why is leftypol not throwing massive support behind Mamdani?

No one believes he’s an actual socialist, however his victory will be the most important victory of the American left of the past 90 years. Why? Because it shows the Zionist Lobby has NO POWER compared to the power of the MASSES OF PEOPLE and we can defeat the satanic Zionist entity not with a violent revolution but simply with voting. Nobody believes Mamdani is a perfect candidate but that’s not the point.

So why aren’t we backing him en masse? His inevitable win will be the biggest blow to US-Zio imperialism in modern history.
