Not reporting is bourgeois


 

Why does it feel like so much “anti-imperialism” has very little — if anything — to do with anti-imperialism and is simply Muslim identity politics?

For instance, why would anyone compare Pakistan to Palestine, when the former is a sovereign nation that was a close US ally during the Cold War and the latter a stateless nation that’s been fighting a 77+ year guerrilla war against one of the most brutal armies in the world and is now facing an all-out genocide? Pakistan and India are both bourgeois states with close ties to the US that both frequently imprison communists. To compare Pakistan to Palestine, in that western activists have a moral duty to hold mass protests waving Pakistani flags and boycott anything Indian is fucking stupid.

Yeah, I’m not shilling for India. But this shit is theoretically weak af.

Also, why does it seem like in every political conflict involving Muslims (except for China vs the Uyghurs) leftists always insist on taking the “Muslim side”? Look at Ethiopia vs Somalia or Christians vs Muslims in Nigeria, for instance. During the Cold War this would have made perfect sense, because the side fighting against the side backed by the West could be allied with the USSR and utilized to fight western capitalists. Today, not so much.

I’d love to understand the logic here.

because people are uneducated libs.

Campism in general is pointless. Football teams.

There is like at least 2 anti-Muslim threads per day at this point.

Lmao. The CIA apparantly thinks that latent islamophobie apparently a good wegde point to attack Western leftist movements. Reminds me of the embassy cables exposing the 'Women in Afghanistan' is the main talking point to justify imperialism in Afghanistan.

>>2258756
Probably because of Al-Jazeera having a huge influence on the American left post-9/11.

>>2258869
Nothing OP said was Islamophobic.

I haven't really seen any anti-imperialists supporting Pakistan. The article below is from a site that is explicitly anti-zionist and against aid to Ukraine, yet it avoids taking a side on the India-Pakistan conflict.

>in that western activists have a moral duty to hold mass protests waving Pakistani flags and boycott anything Indian is fucking stupid.
you saw some person on xitter say this and act as if it's some mass movement
most likely no one has even heard of what happened ffs

>>2258756
>anti-imperialism
Its just nationalism or in muslim case religion in a communist disguise. These people dont care about socialism but see us as useful idiots to advance the interests of their shitty nations or religions.

>>2258880
OP wasn't explicitly islamophobic, but he does seem like a concern troll.

>>2258894
>like a concern troll.
I hate this shitty meme like you wouldnt believe.

>>2258869
This is 100% what I think these anti-Muslim threads are. It's always

>Waa why don't leftist criticize Islam enough??


As if there would ever be enough criticism that would accept. What they want is to just muddy the waters and make it seem like it's not so bad the U.S is constantly obliterating these countries in the name of democracy, or gay/woman's rights.

>>2258869
>>2258918
Shutting down political criticism by amalgamating it with a xenophobic sentiment sure sounds like it's out of some zionist playbook. Kind reminder that religion will wither away with socialism and that no serious socialist can be religious btw

>Why does it feel like so much “anti-imperialism” has very little — if anything — to do with anti-imperialism and is simply Muslim identity politics?

Huh? Where's the mass of leftists talking about those countries?

>>2258894
OP is 100% a concern troll, he's just digging through a handful random social media posts and using them to generalize the entire left.
Probably a tourist.

Theres 3 Islam threads on the catalogue that have the exact same OP?

Show me a single fucking leftist supporting Pakistan or comparing Pakistan to Palestine.

Because anti-imperialism isn't a real thing.

Pisslamists are the CIA's worst product

Read The Jakarta Method. The CIA used Muslims to mass-murder millions of Indonesian communists in the 1960s.

>How can you protest against children being bombed in Gaza when the CIA worked with muslims in an entirely different country 60 years before those children were born?
What a profound and convincing argument.

I support Pakistan purely because it has been attacked by an aggressor for a reason that has no evidence attached to it.

>>2258756
>Why does it feel like so much “anti-imperialism” has very little — if anything — to do with anti-imperialism and is simply Muslim identity politics?
what the fuck are you even talking about? my first reflex seeing this is to tell you "go kill yourself"

>why would anyone compare Pakistan to Palestine

who beyond a few random retards on social media do that?

>leftists always insist on taking the “Muslim side”?

they dont

>I’d love to understand the logic here.

the logic is that you should stop caring about and propagating the stupid shit of irrelevant morons

>>2259165
OP clearly stated what’s happening in Palestine is a genocide.

>>2258756
>For instance, why would anyone compare Pakistan to Palestine
You've the first one I've seen, troll.
To everyone else: It's about Kashmir an ethnically diverse region that has historically been independent and is an imperialist objective for both India and Pakistan.

I love how the backing of ethnonationalism is treated like a valid stance all by itself. Retards here never even bother to explain how that’s supposed to help class struggle or fight capitalism. How they seriously think a new nation is the answer to the inherent problems of capitalism is just beyond me.

>>2259224
Imagine actually thinking that Pakistan is an ethno-state. Holy fuck, lmao.

>>2259229
How could anyone seriously believe that bourgeois nationalists would pave the way for socialism when it’s directly against their interests?

Pakistan isn’t imperialist. India is.

>>2258875
This is EXACTLY what it is.

There's a phenomenon on the American left (and possibly the global left too) known as the "al-Jazeera left". These people (usually Trots or SocDems but not always) tend to be anti-American and very, very, very anti-Israel, and anti-India, but are simultaneously anti-Iran, anti-China, and anti-Russia. They have a bit of sympathy with the Kurds but will never come out as anti-Turkey. They cheered when Gaddafi was overthrown and they cheered a few months ago when Assad was overthrown. They dislike Shia jihadis like Hizballah (because they see them as Iranian proxies, which they are in all fairness) yet they have a soft spot for Sunni jihadis like Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated groups.

The common denominator in all this is, if you look at their foreign policy positions they happen to be identical to those of Qatar. Look at Democracy Now and Haymarket Books if you want examples of what these people believe and who they are. But yes, it's VERY obvious to me that al-Jazeera has heavily influenced a large chunk of the contemporary left's position on sectarian issues involving Muslim countries and populations.

if the US invaded iraq claiming to be fighting arab imperialism half this website wouldve unironically supported it

>>2260219
That was literally 1991 with Kuwait, and you did have people making that argument in 2003, the most prominent being Christopher Hitchens


>>2260219
I mean, isn’t Ukraine technically fighting Russian imperialism?

>>2260125
Yeah. I think a way to understand the Middle East is that there are four blocs. Now it's a bit more complicated and this is an oversimplification and there are exceptions, but lemme lay out these blocs:

>The Sunni kings

Qatar is the exception here but it's a bloc that roughly consists of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Jordan. That said if I were Abdullah II, I wouldn't trust MBS or the emirs of the UAE whatsoever, but generally they're part of this conservative, Sunni king bloc.

>The Axis of Resistance

You know who this is: Iran, the Houthis, Hezbollah and formerly Assad 💀

>Qatar-Turkey and the Muslim Brotherhood

This bloc won big in Syria. Hamas also emerged as an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood and – it's worth remembering – initially supported the uprising against Assad. I've seen anecdotal polling of Palestinians that rank Erdogan pretty highly but not Assad (back when he was in power). Remember there was bloody fighting between Palestinian militants and Assad's forces in Yarmouk.

The Axis of Resistance fights Iran but they were fighting Turkey-Qatar in Syria. It's complicated.

>The Everybody-Else Bloc

This is pretty loose but includes Israel and various minorities such as the Druze and Kurds. Israeli warplanes in recent days have been bombing Sunni jihadi fighters in southern Syria attacking Druze in southern Syria. Now, realistically, the Druze in southern Syria are probably divided on this, with some supporting that, and others not wanting to be used as Israeli puppets. Also the Druze in Lebanon don't support Israel. I'm not up to speed on what Lebanese Christians think of Israel now, I'm aware there is some bad blood because Israel betrayed them, but they used to be allies in the 1980s. Also I'm generalizing about the Kurds, but apparently there are informal links between Israel and Barzani's KDP in northern Iraq.

BTW, since you mentioned the "Al-Jazeera left" (usually Trots or Socdems like you mentioned) I think you might also say there's a "Press.TV left" who usually like to present themselves (anyways) as hardcore Stalinists or whatever, but they're really pro-Axis. They were very pro-Assad and are very anti-Israel. And while prosecuting a sort of online pro-Assad war would describe the Sunni militants in Syria as jihadi terrorists, but there's a contradiction because ideologically HTS has much more in common with Hamas than it does Iran because both are Sunni militant organizations.

>>2261060
if ukraine didn't join nato there wouldn't be a war. nato expansion makes moscow an easy target and russia warned europe not to expand nato

>>2261132
I mean, Assad slaughtered a lot of Palestinians, so.

No one like Indians or Zionists, because they are insufferable on the internet
simple as

>>2261159
Not an excuse to throw out Marxism.

>>2260219
The only reason most MLs don't worship Saddam is because Iran (their current campist pet project) has a bad blood with him so its inconvenient to their ongoing larp. If Iran was the one invaded in 2003 MLs would be dickriding Saddam probably more so than Assad.

>>2261177
>you need to be more open to having the same stance on an international issue or conflict as the US State Dept or you're throwing out Marxism!!!!

moron

>>2261234
Saddam killed communists though.

>>2261159
when it comes to Indians, leftypol = 4chan.
At least you had the decency to say 'zionists' and not simply 'jews'. But for Indians, you find no need to differentiate. The whole race can go fuck itself.
In last year's national elections, BJP's alliance had 44% of the vote share, versus 37% for the main opposition coalition, led by Congress. There are literally hundreds of millions of Indians who are against Modi.

>>2261281
everyone killed communists, including communists. That does not mean anything.

>>2260125
>>2261132
Very good and accurate explanation.

There was one guy in Caleb Maupin's bowling team who was a big Saddam stan. Like that was this whole thing. Flame of Liberation? I feel embarrassed knowing this. My impression is that Saddam has a good rep among Palestinians because he supported them.

If India became ruled by Muslims again, how would that advance socialism in any way?

>>2262664
it would not. If anything, it would obliterate the already flawed democracy, and we would end up with another reactionary state which would make hindutva look like altar boys. But at least leftypol would be happy, because reactionary extremism under the banner of Islam is revolutionary, apparently.

>>2262385
Campist brainlets must uphold the narrative of the current imperialist power they root for uncritically. They can't exist vicariously through Ba'athist Iraq since it no longer exists so they no longer have interest in supporting it, instead they turn to Islamist Iran condemning the now obsolete Ba'athists in the process.

If it was the other way around we would be hearing leftists complain about how Israel and the US armed Islamists in Iran and put them in power aktuahly

>>2262667

>Also, why does it seem like in every political conflict involving Muslims (except for China vs the Uyghurs) leftists always insist on taking the “Muslim side”?
Only retards look at the world through these lens. There is no truth to this.

Leftists in the West support the Uyghurs, just as they supported other CIA and Saudi backed MUSLIM terrorists, anyways. The reason to critically support a specific group is for geopolitical economic analysis in line with the global socialist project. Not religion, you fucking dumbass.

>>2263668

Literally yes, you fucking retard. Read Marx's critique of Feuerbach and Bauer. Like hownew.ru?

>The purely national character of these questions and solutions is moreover shown by the fact that these theorists believe in all seriousness that chimeras like “the God-Man,” “Man,” etc., have presided over individual epochs of history (Saint Bruno even goes so far as to assert that only “criticism and critics have made history,” [Bruno Bauer, Charakteristik Ludwig Feuerbachs] and when they themselves construct historical systems, they skip over all earlier periods in the greatest haste and pass immediately from “Mongolism” [Max Stirner, Der Einzige und sein Eigenthum] to history “with meaningful content,” that is to say, to the history, of the Hallische and Deutsche Jahrbücher and the dissolution of the Hegelian school into a general squabble. They forget all other nations, all real events, and the theatrum mundi is confined to the Leipzig book fair and the mutual quarrels of “criticism,” [Bruno Bauer] “man,” [Ludwig Feuerbach] and “the unique”. [Max Stirner] If for once these theorists treat really historical subjects, as for instance the eighteenth century, they merely give a history of ideas, separated from the facts and the practical development underlying them;
The Mossad agent needs to fucking read to be more convincing.

Mossad poster BTFOd 2 centuries ago.

The entire body of German philosophical criticism from Strauss to Stirner is confined to criticism of religious conceptions. [The following passage is crossed out in the manuscript:] claiming to be the absolute redeemer of the world from all evil. Religion was continually regarded and treated as the arch-enemy, as the ultimate cause of all relations repugnant to these philosophers. The critics started from real religion and actual theology. What religious consciousness and a religious conception really meant was determined variously as they went along. Their advance consisted in subsuming the allegedly dominant metaphysical, political, juridical, moral and other conceptions under the class of religious or theological conceptions; and similarly in pronouncing political, juridical, moral consciousness as religious or theological, and the political, juridical, moral man – “man” in the last resort – as religious. The dominance of religion was taken for granted. Gradually every dominant relationship was pronounced a religious relationship and transformed into a cult, a cult of law, a cult of the State, etc. On all sides it was only a question of dogmas and belief in dogmas. The world was sanctified to an ever-increasing extent till at last our venerable Saint Max was able to canonise it en bloc and thus dispose of it once for all.

The Old Hegelians had comprehended everything as soon as it was reduced to an Hegelian logical category. The Young Hegelians criticised everything by attributing to it religious conceptions or by pronouncing it a theological matter. The Young Hegelians are in agreement with the Old Hegelians in their belief in the rule of religion, of concepts, of a universal principle in the existing world. Only, the one party attacks this dominion as usurpation, while the other extols it as legitimate.

Since the Young Hegelians consider conceptions, thoughts, ideas, in fact all the products of consciousness, to which they attribute an independent existence, as the real chains of men (just as the Old Hegelians declared them the true bonds of human society) it is evident that the Young Hegelians have to fight only against these illusions of consciousness. Since, according to their fantasy, the relationships of men, all their doings, their chains and their limitations are products of their consciousness, the Young Hegelians logically put to men the moral postulate of exchanging their present consciousness for human, critical or egoistic consciousness, and thus of removing their limitations. This demand to change consciousness amounts to a demand to interpret reality in another way, i.e. to recognise it by means of another interpretation. The Young-Hegelian ideologists, in spite of their allegedly “world-shattering" statements, are the staunchest conservatives. The most recent of them have found the correct expression for their activity when they declare they are only fighting against “phrases.” They forget, however, that to these phrases they themselves are only opposing other phrases, and that they are in no way combating the real existing world when they are merely combating the phrases of this world. The only results which this philosophic criticism could achieve were a few (and at that thoroughly one-sided) elucidations of Christianity from the point of view of religious history; all the rest of their assertions are only further embellishments of their claim to have furnished, in these unimportant elucidations, discoveries of universal importance.

It has not occurred to any one of these philosophers to inquire into the connection of German philosophy with German reality, the relation of their criticism to their own material surroundings.

>>2301384
right but it can be when the profits from creating new productive forces are lower risk and higher rate of return then being a comprador. which means under those colonial conditions the incentives of the working class and nb are aligned. imperialists have no need for surplus population and an excessive reserve army of labor for extractive industry so when they get uppity they get shot. nb do have a need for a growing and expanding working class in early capitalism with rising industry of all types, and communists need productive forces anyway. it would be preferable to have the communists in power and they could increase productive forces faster in a more planned and efficient manner, but when they are not yet organized it is preferable to have a democratic republic even if it is bourgeois than it is to have an imperial overlord that perpetuates dependency builds nothing and takes everything. if 90% of your country is subsistence agriculture and 9% is in extraction then having a nb in charge instead would also result in urbanization and proletarianization, which again communists would have to do anyway, and it would make organizing easier because you would have more proles.

You're just as Spooked as a Jew and a Christian. All of your Religious Spooks are self-induced delusions that you place above yourself because you need a cope to deal with the fact that you refuse to see inequalities in your own cultures.

Religion has always been a tool of control by the ruling class to keep you in line and to never question the current state of things.

Your "Day of Judgement" will never come. Christianity and Islam are nothing but Apocalypse cult spinoffs of Judaism and Judaism is nothing but a bunch a ripoff from ancient Mesopotamian/Babylonian/Akkadian religions and Zoroastrianism.

TL;DR NICE SPOOKS NERD!

Leftists think they can avoid criticizing Islam and no one will notice them for it.

Like half the reason leftist parties are not succeeding is because they dont criticize Islamism, and the other half is that they are pro-immigration.

The switch to nihilism and pretending that socialism is impossible in the west is directly the result of Leftist' narcissism in not admitting they are wrong about these fundamental issues.

Marxism-Leninism considers all questions in their historical settings. Marxism-Leninists view bourgeois nationalism under the given historical conditions. Drawing a distinction between its different objective roles, they decide what different attitudes the proletariat should take toward it.

In the early period of capitalism, the national movement led by the bourgeoisie had as its objective the struggle against oppression by other nations and the creation of a national state. This national movement was historically progressive, and the proletariat supported it.

In the present period, such bourgeois nationalism still exists in the colonial and semi-colonial countries. This variety of nationalism also has a certain objective progressive historical significance.

The bourgeoisie of Europe, the United States, and Japan has established the imperialist system of colonial and semi-colonial oppression in many backward countries. In such colonial and semi-colonial countries as China, India, Korea, Indonesia, the Philippines, Viet-Nam, Burma, Egypt, etc., bourgeois nationalism naturally developed. This was because the national bourgeoisie in these countries has interests antagonistic in the first place to those of imperialism, and in the second place to those of the domestic backward feudal forces. Moreover, these feudal forces unite with imperialism in restricting and hampering the development of the national bourgeoisie. Therefore, the national bourgeoisie in these countries is revolutionary in a certain historical period and to a certain degree. Bourgeois nationalism in these countries has a decidedly progressive significance when the bourgeoisie mobilize the masses in the struggle against imperialism and the feudal forces. As Lenin pointed out (in a speech delivered at the Second Congress of the Eastern Peoples), nationalism of this type “ has historical justification ” . Therefore the proletariat, with the aim of overthrowing the rule of imperialism and the feudal forces, should collaborate with this bourgeois nationalism which plays a defiantly anti-imperialist and anti-feudal role provided, as Lenin said, that these allies do not hinder us in educating and organizing the peasantry and the broad masses of theexploited people in a revolutionary spirit. The clearest example of this type of collaboration was that which existed between the Chinese Communists and Sun Yat-sen.

Sun Yat-sen’s nationalism was a form of bourgeois nationalism. The Three Person’s Principle of Sun Yat-sen, as Comrade Mao pointed out in his New Democracy, has undergone great changes in the two historical periods before and after the Russian October Socialist Revolution. In the former period, it came under the category of old democracy, that is, it remained within the scope of bourgeois democratic revolution of the old world and was a part of the bourgeois and capitalist world revolution. In the latter period, however, it belonged to New Democracy, that is it pertained to the scope of new bourgeois democratic revolution and was a part of the proletarian Socialist world revolution.

Sun Yat-sen’s nationalism in the old democratic era had a dual character. His opposition to the current rulers of China, the Manchu Dynasty, had a progressive character. Yet the Greater Han-ism he advocated had a reactionary character. After the October Revolution, when China entered the New Democratic era, received help from the U.S.S.R. and from us Chinese Communists. He then revised his nationalism characterized by Greater Han-ism and turned toward revolutionary nationalism characterized by his active opposition to imperialist aggression and his adoption of the three policies of alliance with the Soviet Union, alliance with the Chinese Communist Party and support for the workers and peasants. He also advocated that “the Chinese nation should strive to liberate itself” and that “there should be equality for all nationalities within the country” (Declaration of the First Congress of the Kuomintang). Thus he turned toward New Democracy and we Communists therefore adopted the policy of collaborating with him. This collaboration was absolutely correct and necessary for national liberation and was in accord with the interests of the proletariat at the time, even though it was an unreliable, temporary and unstable alliance which was later undermined by the shameless betrayers of Dr. Yat-sen’s cause.

Although Sun Yat-sen’s world outlook at the time was still of a bourgeois of petty-bourgeois character, and although his nationalism was still a form of bourgeois nationalism preserving some reactionary features (for instance, his concepts of so-called “common blood” “state and nation” and “Greater Asianism” etc.), nevertheless he stood for the doctrine of a national revolution which called for “arousing the people and uniting in a common struggle with all nations in the world who treat us as equals.” He also put into effect the three great policies of alliance with the U.S.S.R.. alliance with the Chinese Communist Party and support for workers and peasants. This was an excellent illustration of the progressive character of revolutionary bourgeois nationalism in colonial and semi-colonial countries during the new era of world Socialist revolution. It was of enormous revolutionary significance.

However, shortly after Sun Yat-sen’s death, the brazen betrayers of his cause - the representatives of the big bourgeoisie such as Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Ching-wei and other reactionary leaders of the Kuomintang - began to turn Sun Yat-sen’s doctrine of national revolution toward the opposite and extremely counter-revolutionary direction. They swung from the anti-imperialist struggle to capitulation to imperialism, from alliance with the Soviet Union to struggling against it, from unity with the Chinese Communist Party to attacks on the Party, from supporting the workers and the peasants to slaughtering them. Moreover, they used the conservative and reactionary features of Sun Yat-sen’s nationalism as their anti-national banner. It therefore became necessary for the Communist party, in order to defend the interests of the nation, to adopt a firm policy of opposition to the Kuomintang reactionaries, who were headed by Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Ching-wei.

Of course, the Communists in other colonial and semi-colonial countries such as India, Burma, Siam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Indo-China, South Korea, etc., must for the sake of their national interests similarly adopt a firm and irreconcilable policy against national betrayal by the reactionary section of the bourgeoisie, which has already surrendered to imperialism. If this were not done, it would be a grave mistake.

On the other hand, the communists in these countries should enter into an anti-imperialist alliance with that section of the national bourgeoisie which is still opposing imperialism and which does not oppose the anti-imperialist struggle of the masses of the people. Should the Communists fail to do so in earnest, should they to the contrary, oppose or reject such an alliance, it would also constitute a grave mistake. Such an alliance must be established in all sincerity, even if should be of an unreliable, temporary and unstable nature.

The experience of the revolution in other countries as well as in China fully confirms the correctness of the scientific Marxist-Leninist conclusion that the national question is closely linked with the class question and the national struggle within the class struggle. An historical analysis of class relations reveals why in certain periods, one country is oppressed by another and becomes a colony or semi-colony of imperialism; why national traitors may appear in such a country, not only from the ranks of the feudal classes, but also form the ranks of the bourgeoisie - for instance, form the ranks of compradore, bureaucratic bourgeoisie in China. Such an analysis also reveals under what conditions, and under the leadership of which class, national liberation can be achieved.

An historical analysis of the class relations also reveals that although such outstanding national revolutionists as Sun Yat-sen sprang from China’s petty-bourgeoisie or national bourgeoisie, yet this bourgeoisie, generally speaking, views the national question solely in the light of its own narrow class interests and changes its position solely in accordance with its own class interests. In the same way, only the class interests of the proletariat are really in full accord with the fundamental interests of the people of a given country, with the common interests of all mankind. When the proletariat of an oppressed nation, as is the case of China, enters the arena of struggle and becomes the leader of the national liberation struggle against imperialism and the saviour of the whole nation, then every genuinely patriotic class, party, group or individual inevitably forms an alliance with the Communist Party, as did Sun Yat-sen (and thus becomes linked with the policies of alliance with the Soviet Union and support for the workers and peasants). On the other hand, those persons or groups - like Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Ching-wei - who oppose the Communist Party (an opposition linked with opposition to the Soviet Union and to the interests of the workers and peasants), inevitably become servile lackeys of imperialism and the most vile, contemptible national traitors who sell out their own country.

An historical analysis of class relations further discloses that under the new conditions, in the new period of accentuated international and internal struggle, as a result of threats combined with all kinds of tempting offers and enticements held out by the imperialists, and owing to the developing class struggle within the country, there may appear within the revolutionary ranks such people as Chen Tu-hsiu, Chang Kuo-tao in China and Tito in Yugoslavia. These people capitulate to reactionary bourgeois nationalism, betray the common interests of the toilers of all countries and place the liberation of their own people in serious jeopardy. They are the spokesmen of bourgeois nationalism inside the ranks of the proletariat. They cynically desert the cause of national liberation in mid-path, and they divert their country down the road leading to its transformation into an imperialist colony. The Communist Parties of all countries and each individual Communist must be alert to this danger.
