I would have a ton more respect for marxist-leninists if they just acknowledged the death and repression under that happened under most of their favourite guys but just accepted it as a neccessary sacrifice to build communism rather than these endless mental gymnastics where they either claim it didn't happen at all or that everyone who did get it was a unforgivable reactionary who definitely had it coming

they didn't build communism, and they weren't doing it to build communism, so i am comfortable saying they had it coming.

for an easier example, i do not respect comrades more when they defend pol pot.

Reminder that the single biggest expenditure in British history was the compensation paid to slaveowners when slavery was abolished

It was still being paid off up until 2015

Policing is occupation. Robert Peel invented it based on his experiences in Ireland, and modern techniques were and are pioneered and field-tested in the open-air prisons of Gaza and the West Bank.

Yeah, like I said, I don’t think US police need training in brutal violent tactics. I’m pretty sure they used them in the years before 1967. And I am pretty sure that knee-to-neck was used prior to that too. Why are you so determined to link this to Israel?

The struggle is singular. Why are you so determined to divide it?

therattle posted:

That’s a glib attempt to make a pretty abstract connection between things which have no actual link like the article posited.

And this is an attempt to avoid answering my direct question. What do you think is gained by separating each recognizable form of oppression into it's own little cubby? Some of us are opposed to all, and can see the connections between them quite easily. The ongoing genocides in Gaza and Chicago are both conducted with the same strategies, equipment, racist justifications, and they are conducted at the orders of the same people: the ruling class of the United States.

This tweet specifically got my dander up.

It's not coming from "somewhere else." Israel is an American colony, and is the premier western research hub and testbed of modern colonization (google xinjiang to learn about eastern competitors). When leftists here in the US complain about Police Militarization, we are not sad that our pure and pleasant policemen are being corrupted by our dirty foreign soldiers: we are recognizing that policing and imperialism are part of the same project, regardless of any separation of their respective bureaucracies.

The people administering it recognize that. You'll win no points by pretending you don't.

You're right about systemic linkages. But is is not relevant to the facts in this case: there was an assertion made which was untrue.

The reason is, of course, that Russia was able to influence the intelligence community's investigative process as well.
