It’s to draw more parallels with the CCCP and get a bit more mileage from some of their anti-USSR propaganda

In addition to Cowbee’s comment, the Prolewiki article on Socialism expands on it.
“Human nature” is formed by societal norms, which are in turn formed by the present mode of production and thus material reality. Humans aren’t racist by nature lmfao, such a dumb right wing assertion.
Simply put, materialism — as opposed to idealism — is the idea that everything we do and experience as a society (our history, culture, politics, etc) is shaped by the material reality around us, rather than ideas.
“Material analysis” in this case therefore means analysing politics and history through this lens. And it’s a fundamental component of socialism/marxism.
Simple diagram of how our material reality shapes our society

Yogthos is insulting liberals because liberalism is an idealist ideology that always eventually gives way to fascism when a capitalist state is (inevitably) in decay.
This. If you actually want positive change, go out and join a socialist org to take direct action. In capitalist states — specially imperial core ones — elections are just an ad campaign that won’t bring any positive change for workers on its own.
Elections will, however, gradually shift to the far-right as long as liberals/capitalists are in power (see: overton window).
Typical liberal rejecting any shift to the left in favour of fascists.
It’s great that the LFI managed to come this far even within a liberal framework, but real change has only ever come from organizing and applying pressure from outside the capitalist system to overthrow it. This should be a signal to french comrades to start organizing for that.
Yes. After all, this would definitely harm BRICS countries and not the US.
Very common actually
Acknowledging the downvotes doesn’t make this comment any less cringe or misinformed lol
This is the best “treatment” a capitalist shithole can give for mental health.
We live in a dystopia
Cutting Through the BS on Xinjiang by BadEmpanada is highly detailed with sources in the description.
You could also watch through the countless videos of people travelling through Xinjiang on YouTube and seeing… that it’s just a regular place in China.
Xinjiang also gets more foreign tourists than Spain at over 250 million a year, so you could genuinely just go there and see for yourself lol; there’s no more restrictions on travel there than any other place in the country now that Covid is mostly over.
Seems like both the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and Muslim countries in general that have sent delegates to Xinjiang agree western propaganda about it is false too ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The only ones propagating these claims are imperial core countries that have actually invaded and colonized Muslim nations as you’d expect lol
I like how this zionist author is trying to draw parallels between the Palestinian resistance and the separatist group the US created in Xinjiang through Afganistan lmao
Claiming both are “Islamist terrorism”, which is an ironic thing to say considering israel’s support of their fellow US proxy
They won’t, not now anyway. The Soviet Union went as far as to fund wars against “israel”, but China is clearly far more interested in Socialism In One Country and forming amicable ties with the rest of the world — including the capitalist shitstates — rather than spreading socialism like the USSR did.
Not necessarily a bad thing since I understand where they’re coming from (and we know which of the two have managed to prevent a capitalist counter-revolution), but god I wish they did a bit more sometimes.
Genuinely aggressive Chinese sanctions on “israel” would cripple it in months combined with Palestinian resistance, but it also would create hostility with the US, signal to the Global South that they’re willing to sanction states that don’t do what China wants like the US does, and damage their reputation of being a peaceful superpower that they’ve been building for the last few decades.
It is, as China repeatedly keeps showing.
…and pretty much every single developed country in the world that have gotten there through state investment and subsidies.
I doubt Russia will actually use nukes, what with MAD and all.
Then again, people said the same thing about the invasion. Russia doesn’t have a no-first-use nuclear weapons policy like the USSR did, so they could use them if they deem the country to be under existential threat.
