    Have a great week, everyone. Stay safe if you’re in potential danger, and if you’re in one of the imperialist aggressors, do what you can to damage the war efforts! Ideally your org will be doing good work already, but be sure to combat hasbara and misinformation when you can. This is an unpopular war in a string of unpopular wars even in the heart of the Empire.

    As always, communism will win.

        for the most part i think i mentally block it out from being anomalous since it’s largely just par for the course for mainstream social media, reddit is the opposite of an exception. it’s just the stray commenter that gets there and starts talking about “You’re just as bad as Israel for hating Israel” oh my god bruh. but you will, indeed, find them on like, every single post, so i think people just tune it out and forget that on other platforms like lemmygrad you wont find that sort of thing

    My heart goes out to all the victims of USian imperialism, the enemy is strong, but the united people will win.

    These are harsh times comrades, don’t let despair take you. Take care of yourselves physically and mentally. We need to be at our best to face this head on.

    I wish you all a great week! Communism will win, the imperialist enemies will fall

    Fuck the kkrackker empire and its zionazi colony.

    At this point, I genuinely have a hard time trusting white people on anything. eurokrakkers seem to only know the language of genocide, war, and imperialism.

    good morning! death to usa and its proxy israel. and also, while this is less relevant to the topic at hand, i will never stop wanting to wrest justice from the decrepit and rotten hands of unrepentant japan, who is still yet to issue sufficient reparations or admit responsibility for all those they slaughtered, raped, and tortured.

    Is it true that Iran accidentally bombed itself? Many folks in my country became very Islamophobic because of the current government’s oppressive policies and believe the current war is a sham fight and Iran deserves everything that happens to it for executing its civilians instead of arming up.
    The source claims the incident translated:

      No, the Iranian missile that lobotomized monarchists are claiming caused it was going in the opposite direction of the school.

      It’s complete bullshit made up by diaspora lunatics who’ve lost touch with reality. You know the Parenti anti-communism quote? Replace communist with Islamic Republic and anticommunist with anti-regime, a d you basically get the average diaspora view of Iran.

      Fuck it I’ll do it right now:

      During the cold war war on terror, the anticommunist anti-regime ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist Iranian society into hostile evidence. If the Soviets Islamic Republic refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches mosques in the USSR Islamic Republic were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed dying; but if the churches mosques were full, this meant the people were rejecting being forced to accept the regime’s atheistic ideology theocratic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist Iranian system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them. If communists Iranians in the United States West Asia played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others indigenous resistance groups, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.
