They’re confusing migration (violent or otherwise) and imperial urban rule with settler displacement and the annihilationism that goes with it

Also the defining character of settler colonialism has been its use of industrialization and market building to shore up a racialized ideology and vice versa

That was rarely or never the case with the old empires which were agrarian tribute systems that usually relied on their subject peoples being semi autonomous to relive pressure on imperial bureaucracy, that’s not to say there wasn’t settlers, it simply means the ruling mode of production didn’t always cater or center around them

For instance, if the Roman Empire had been settler colonialist in the capitalist sense of today, Greek wouldn’t have remained the lingua franca of the eastern half of the empire, and every Roman emperor would’ve remained an Italian or “ethnic” Roman

Lose away bozo, you got played

You’re disgusting you know that, let me say this more simply for you son, any vote for Biden is explicit support for genocide, end of story

There’s no set of tortured apologetics that will wash off the blood, you better straighten yourself out motherfucker, cause you’re a fascist and you don’t even know it

lmao if you can excuse genocide you definitely don’t give a shit about “democracy”…which this country doesn’t even have in the first place

Just complete gibberish, socialism’s goal is the abolishment of capitalist property relations and worker ownership of the means of production

Liberalism in 99% of its political and theoretical formulations absolutely does not want those things, you’re the definition of an opportunist and utopian idealist, further proved by the fact you’re willing to sacrifice this make-believe ideology of yours in the hope of courting fascists

You literally don’t know anything about Mao

if I were to say something horrifically racist in pretty much any company I can be fairly confident I would be told exactly where to shove it though

What Saturday morning cartoon do you live in bro?

The problem is who gets to decide what’s acceptable and what isn’t?

I don’t care who gets to decide as long as Nazism and pedophilia isn’t tolerated

Capitalism in it’s true form was “I give you this, you give me that”

So you believe capitalism existed all the way back during the neolithic and beyond, were cavemen “true capitalists”? Capital isn’t a set of goods simply traded between people, it’s circulating money tied to productive property or alienated assets

Primitive exchange of goods requires the goods becoming the means and the ends even if money is an intermediary, under capitalism it’s capital (i.e. money) that becomes the end, while goods may or may not be the means of generation, and since money is the sole metric of success there must a set of people who work for capitalists to create that money and reproduce themselves, since goods are hidden behind said money

Imperial decline is so fascinating to watch

Real “Innocence proves nothing” hours

My North African grandfather lost a leg to untreated necrosis defending that gallic shithole from nazism, they can go assimilate his rotted leg

To be fair, those kinds of “anarchists” are just confused social liberals with no real theoretical grounding, it would be like comparing MLs to the worst of the neocon pseudo-trots who populate so much of western marxian space

It’s never a good idea to succumb to sectarianism for the sake of dunking on what is essentially an online “posting-style” Marxists of any type have to focus on the real and actual conditions of capitalism, not on old ghosts or liberals engaging in radical kayfabe

There are real anarchists out there, they’re just not online

Except the Catholics of course, can’t touch them

Religion in France is racialized as it is in most parts of the world, pretending otherwise is just a denial of reality and history, the French state couldn’t care less for secularism on its own merits, it only cares about religion in the context of the eternal “immigrant” communities who it refuses to actually integrate because of the continuous French colonial mindset and a 19th century conception of frenchness which is centered around white pan-europeanism

If secularism was the point, the french state would have launched a social crusade against the Catholic church decades ago

It’s not a coincidence the law was implemented in 2004 at the height of the war on terror

Because it’s none of your business what those girls wear, and it’s definitely not the state’s business

Basic image analysis like this should have been done ages ago, but libs don’t care about the truth just blind propagandizing

Libs having basic reading comprehension (challenge level: Impossible)

Also “nuclear proliferation” lmao, that’s a hilarious thing to larp about, what are they stuffing centrifuges up their ass you dumb fuck

Yes someone stop those North Korean migrants, they’re smuggling yellow cake in a special CIA napkin and teaching advanced nuclear physics courses on the side
