Sweden sent troops to Afghanistan too, iirc

According to Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics, in 2008, of Israel’s 7.3 million people, 75.6 percent were Jews of any background.[39] Among them, 70.3 percent were Sabras (born in Israel), mostly second- or third-generation Israelis, and the rest are olim (Jewish immigrants to Israel)—20.5 percent from Europe and the Americas, and 9.2 percent from Asia and Africa, including the Arab countries.

Did they ever provide proof for the lies about beheaded babies?

The resistance has never (unfortunately), had rockets capable of this destruction.

Isr*el has bragged about weapons with this capability, and has already bombed this hospital.

Isr*el has already lied for PR here, as has the U$ president.

Bombing a hospital doesn’t make any sense.

Are you making the claim that the zionist state does not bomb hospitals?

Hamas has never shown the capacity to level a full building. This war would be much shorter if they could.

Every successful rocket strike of theirs is a simple smoking hole.

The zionist state, on the other hand, has bombed this exact hospital before, has extensively bragged about their bombing capability, and cannot stop lying.

This is less complicated than you’re making it out to be.

What?

Ok

Nah, I just thought it’d work as an example with them.

in a hospital in Gaza.

They’re just putting her right in front of the zionist bombs like that?

Sure, but I’m trying to carry the conversation on terms they’ll understand.

The Oklahoma City bombing was a white supremacist action, I believe.

Literally created them: https://theintercept.com/2018/02/19/hamas-israel-palestine-conflict/

Out of curiosity, what results do you get when you search “US White supremacist militia”?

Those seem like terrorist organizations to me, and I think the U$ has better “human rights” than Gaza.

Here, let’s do a litmus test. Who is to blame for the Ukraine War? Would you decry the US if they falsely claimed to own most of the Gulf of Mexico and threatened civilian ships? If so, would you also decry China for claiming most of the South China Sea, including waters which are literally closer to other countries than to them?

I get that it’s a convenient rhetorical technique to try to turn the conversation onto the views common among communists that you find objectionable. I don’t agree that it’s relevant to the conversation at hand, though.

Every communist is not a tankie.

The thread of “authoritarian” communism that’s typically branded as “tankie” runs directly to Marx. I’m interested to know if you’re able to find any non-marxist communist tendencies to hold up as an example.

Where are your model communists? Or are you just anti-communist?

I don’t really agree. Stalin’s thoughts can be summed up in his synthesis of Marx and Lenin. There isn’t a “Stalinism” separate from Marxism-leninism, but his contribution to MLism was vital.

I also don’t really agree that Dengism is a thing. It’s a convenient shorthand Maoists use to describe modern China, but I don’t think Deng saw his contributions as separate from SWCC.

Also also, I don’t think you can fairly characterize modern Maoism as Mao’s interpretation of MLism.

All of these are very pedantic, so it’s very much ok if we don’t agree here! 😁

The “Communist Manifesto” was written by the guy who said “We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.”

A non-marxist who just wanted a commune would be something like a Utopian Communalist, or something like that.

It’s just a pejorative for Marxist-leninists/communists/“authoritarian communists”.

The lemmy platform was built by communists, and there’s a couple of active instances of communists on lemmy.
