It's always very interesting and dubious how people very often tend to praise the people on top of these firms instead of focusing their gratitude, praise and appreciation to all the workers - costume makers, artists, writers etc. - at the bottom who make this actually possible.

Klar ist das links. Dieses gatekeeping lmao. Der einzige Grund warum du "sozialliberal" geschrieben hast ist der, weil der Begriff "linksliberal" deinem take ein wenig zuwiderlaufen würde, ne? Dass Volt keine kommunistische Partei ist, darauf kann man sich sicher einigen.
Socialism is by no means the anti thesis to liberalism - it's the extension of it. Socialism aims to actually fulfill the promises of the liberal ideals - freedom and equality - not just as a virtue but in the form of concrete, material reality.
Socialism is real liberalism.
My favorite kind of Western leftist is the one that is vehemently against US imperialism, acknowledged that the West is lying constantly, but 100% buys the lies of the Russian or Chinese government which they use to justify their imperialism and calls you naive when you don't
My favorite kind of American leftist is the one that is vehemently against the previous wars, acknowledged that the US is a violent rogue state, but 100% buys the justification for the current war and calls you naive when you don't

Schau mal: klar haben sozialistische Staaten der Vergangenheit Dreck am Stecken. Bestreitet niemand. Der Unterschied ist, dass das Hakenkreuz - der Nazismus - den Massenmord (er)fordert, der Kommunismus nicht. Das Unrecht im Realsozialismus hat eben keine ideologische Grundlage.

Ja, genau wie der Kapitalismus - das sozioökonomische System, das sich in den 90ern Jahren vollends durchgesetzt hat. Leben wir mittlerweile in einer Realität, in der - wohlgemerkt völlig vermeidbare - humanitäre Katastrophen lediglich in Geschichtsbüchern auszumachen sind? >>

Russian soldier: writes song about him not pointlessly wanting to die in a war.
Twitter lefties: can you explain to me why his analysis lack proper descriptions of the geopolitical interests of Russian imperialism?
Deranged attitude. Beyond smug. Just insane inhumanity.
@Dywizjon161
Oh yeah, good. This is peak leftist political praxis; taping over stickers of other leftist groups. Again leftists are more concerned with themselves than anything else.

Literally Polizeistaat. Man muss nicht mal politisch links sein, um den willkürlichen, autokratischen Charakter dessen, was da passiert, eindeutig erkennen zu können. Exekutive bricht Recht, Rechtsruck uncut
@Leannenist
Describing yourself as "authoritarian" is one of the most obvious red flags in political context. Not the good type of red flag but the really bad one.
Turning an accusation into a label with which you identify yourself politically is basically a confession. Untrustworthy.

Palestine deserves liberation. But the emancipation of the Palestinian people can't be achieved by Hamas, only in unity with the Israeli workers.
North Korea, as well as China, aren't socialist in a political or economic sense. In comparison to them Taiwan and South Korea >>

Yes. They prefer the aesthetics of communism although the ethical framework is indistinguishable from fascists. Though this phenomenon is not limited on "Tankie" types. The takes of some "conservatives" or "liberals", for example regarding Palestine, is as inhuman and barbaric.

<< meeting the definition of liberal democracies are more progressive entities in which working people can organize freely and independently, and revolutionaries can advocate within the boundaries of those constitutions. Not in China nor in the DPRK is this possible.
@emehlan
Fair. But Soviet imperialism was different in character than, for example, US imperialism. It was an imperialism of control, not aggression. It maintained its sphere of influence with more subtle methods. And this sphere brought benefits too; social rights especially for women.
@FreedomFan69
It should be also mentioned that these people don't care about religion, or christianity as a moral code and guidance. They're are only interested as long as they can use it to support their political prescriptions.
They care about God just as a form of ultimate authority.

"Retard" is a slur. Do you think everyone who use it due to growing up under ableist circumstances share hatred towards disabled people? Russian chauvinism influences people, yes.
A person who use "Orc" to refer to Russian people complaining about slurs. It must be satire.
@Dywizjon161
You literally have "Anti-Tankie Action" in your bio. Not "Anti-Racist Action", or "Anti-Sexist Action". And I assume there is a reason for that.
@FromPetersburg2
It's not a mess. It makes perfect sense to me. The current ideological hegemon in your country is Russian chauvinism. It naturally engages in historic revisionism and idealization in order to obscure contradictions within Russia in past and present to (re)establish 'lost glory'.
@khrushchevlied
Not because of the antitheist messaging. But the way jewish people are potrayed (long hump nose etc.) here is very simular to antisemitic depictions - most obvious example Nazi propaganda "art". It was used to dehumanize those demographics to justify harm towards them.

>> Die Antwort: Nope. Die Verwerfungen der Ostblockstaaten sind eben nicht primär oder gar ausschließlich dem Sozialismus anzurechnen. Vieles waren fatale economic policy Entscheidungen ("Der große Sprung nach vorne") oder Fehlentscheidungen + diskriminierende biases (Holodomor).

Volt ist sozialpolitisch deutlich progressiver als CDU und FDP. Da hinkt also schon die Gleichsetzung. Vom Nationalstaat halten die auch nicht viel. "Links" ist eine vage politische Kategorie, die, je nach Definition, in erster Linie egalitäre Positionen hervorhebt.

The point of communism is liberation. Being able to express yourself how and with whom you want is part of that liberation. Freedom is universal - or it is none.

It's funny how you are unable (or unwilling) to recognize any simularity here, between Ukraine's fight for self-determination and Palestine's struggle. It's almost like you are biased.

This is a serious question: do you struggle with reading? Like actually? "Intriguing premise" you can't comprehend? Are these two words to complicated for you?
Or are these just the usual layers of delusion in which you actually believe your own narratives you desperately spin?

Criticism doesn't have to be cancelation, I agree on that. It depends. Vaush said there are people who lack empathy cuz they're evil and bad, and people who struggle to measure and guess the feelings of others. That's it. Your "nuance" and "criticism" here seems performative.
@lemurbutorwell
Lenin relentlessly advocated against Russian chauvinism and the national demographics it oppressed within its borders.
The main reason why Ukraine's struggle doesn't get acknowledged by Leftists is association with U.S.
The Ukrainian people have a right for self-determination.

Killing disarmed non civilians, soldiers and security personal is a war crime too.
People who desperately trying to justify massacres - or even find enjoyment in regards to these thoughts and acts - should spent their time in therapy, not on Twitter.
You should not defend it.
Israeli settlers are not civilians. Sorry not sorry. Anyone who claims they are I will not take seriously, you are completely divorced from the facts on the ground.
@emehlan
I mean if you like to use these buzzwords, go for it. It's Twitter. They are the most effective tool of communication here. Things do differ sometimes. And sometimes there is more value in analysis rather than moral outrage and narration.
@alitlstrawberry
@MrBerkGuy
Sure you're capable of understanding the value of tactics in politics; in a country in which a majority of people believes at least some aspects of that ideology you can't win over for progressive change by edgy demands like 'aBoLisH iSrAeL!'.
And of course you can condemn both.

Marxists move forward. Stop living in the past. The statement may have been questionable a few decades ago. Even then these people were wrong. Now everyone opposing this is literally a fascist advocate.

Solidarity from a real Marxist-Leninist.
Russian imperialism and chauvinism are causing harm and destruction against the working people of Ukraine. Individuals trying to deflect blame from Russia are blinded by their own dogma - serving the interests of the Russian bourgeoisie.
@jpegmaoist
You have to touch grass for socialist revolution. All other ideological lines - correct or incorrect - are utterly meaningless if you fail to apply that first principle.
