ZoomeristLeninist

yes, there is a lot of legitimate criticism. he might have a couple of good China takes, but he holds a lot of state department propaganda as true— says there is a “cultural genocide” of Uyghurs and propagates the “state capitalist” obfuscation.

CW: sexual assault

he is also unapologetic abt soliciting prostitution and anyone who calls him out on it, he calls sex work exclusionary. im not gonna entertain a struggle session rn. but think abt this: to have solidarity with sex workers, one must understand that sex work is real labor, and labor under capitalism is coercive, therefore, soliciting sex from a sex worker is coerced sex (i.e. r***). johns are r***ists, to deny this is to deny the material reality of sex work, and insulting to sex workers

yeah, and the Abrams tanks are unwieldy waste of steel to begin with. amerika has imperialism blindness, they see every enemy as a Korea they can put endless amounts of money and bombs into and just win by pure destruction

50 miles is their goal! it would be hilarious if such a horrific loss of life isnt guaranteed in this fools errand. if Ukraine ever reaches a point that the Russians actually want to defend, they’re cooked. the hundreds of daily Ukrainian casualties are just from them confronting Russia's screening lines and minefields. if they manage to reach Russia's full defensive lines, they are looking at a drastic increase in casualties. their position in negotiation gets worse every day

france joins BRICS

jk lol

yeah, they established colonies to extract surplus value from the people living there. you can go even further to describe their conquest as settler-colonialism, as Roman citizens migrated into many of these colonies and enjoyed a privileged position over the people they colonized. this “colonialism” was more of a tributary relationship tho, as taxation was very localized and it was likely that these colonies had more autonomy than what we think when we talk abt colonialism. ur right that it was proto-imperialism since “imperialism” in the way we use it is in the context of capitalism. imperialism requires monopolies, finance capital dominance, and a unified international capital on top of colonization. ig the reasoning for it being proto-imperialism is that the colonization was spread through an entire continent, capital was being formed (Rome had a sort of proto-capitalism), and land ownership was highly concentrated

“confronting Russian defenses” is such weasel language. they haven’t even met Russia’s first line of defense. show me Ukrainian tanks overcoming a dragons teeth barrier and you can say they are engaging the first line of defense. the fighting in the past month has been against Russian screening lines— lines in front of the defensive lines meant to provide intel, obscure your number of forces, and harass the enemy without committing too much

it’s hilarious really. if there’s one thing the Russian military is historically good at, it’s destroying fantastical “wonder weapons” built by fascists

it really is a monstrosity. large tanks just dont have the maneuverability and versatility to be useful in a peer war

direct action gets the goods!

i hope he’s okay

motorcycles are way too efficient. should be them in a giant SUV or pickup truck, both of which they don’t need

“in a bout of confusion, the US has invaded Armenia”

thanks for explaining comrade! sometimes you have to make compromises for the movement: the USSR allied with britain and amerika to defeat fascism. its simpler on hexbear, we’re funded by george soros, so we just have to be massive liberals
