    Genocide. Also ironically many countries are calling the people taking a stand against their massacre “terrorists”.

    In lib logic:

    Terrorism is when non-UN recognised states do it

    Otherwise it’s “war”.

    Fuck States. Fuck Israel.

      Doesn’t even the un define this as genocide? I thought it was not controversial anymore calling it that…

        western libs are smarter than global consensus, bear in mind. really, what it is, is they’ll say anything so long as the money keeps moving.

        the reality is of course that terrorism is any act that is intended to modify public behavior through widespread fear. here’s some examples of terror states:

        • America
        • Russa
        • Israel
        • India
        • Iran

        i’m POSITIVE there’s more, and i’d even be willing to hear arguments that every nation today is either a terror state or subservient to a terror state.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premiership_of_Narendra_Modi#Defiance,_defamation,_and_counterterrorism_to_silence_critics

            Posting to wikipedia because it’s the most expedient even though it lacks a lot of the context of how the Indian government has been cracking down on tribal people in Northern India for the past 10 years

              But that’s internal, no not really fitting the theme…

                ???

                A terror state is a state that controls its citizens through the use of terror. A terrorist state is a state that then inflects that terror out into the rest of the world in an act of expansionist imperialism. So… Yeah. It’s internal. Because I was talking about internal use of terror to control a citzenry

                  I am currently in India and I have absolutely no impression that people are controlled by terror. Those who oppose Modi seem to be very open about it.

                  EDIT: maybe it applies more to opposition politicians?

    The first is a single attack that is better defined as “blowback”.

    The second is what occurs by the Imperialist and Imperialist aligned powers that cause the blowback in the first place.

    Bush didn’t “do 9/11”. Decades of American Imperialism “did” 9/11. It was the inevitable result of its crimes.

    For a long time the claim was that it’s only terrorism when non-state actors do it. If a state does it, it’s not terrorism by definition.

    Then the loyal dogs in the EU declared in January that an official branch of Iran’s own military is a terrorist organization, so I guess the old definition is defunct. It basically just means “outlaw” or “designated bad guy” rather than having a real definition.

    This is exactly what racist white people want.
    “Nuke 'em from orbit” isn’t an uncommon phrase.

    Israel pardoned self proclaimed terrorists and put them straight into their government. It’s a country by terrorist, for terrorists.

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of “ML” (read: Dengist) influence. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

Serious posts, news, discussion and agitprop/stuff that’s better fit for a poster than a meme go in c/Socialism.

If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.

Please don’t forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, updooting good contributions and downdooting those of low quality!

Rules

Version without spoilers

0. Only post socialist memes

That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme. Please post agitprop here)


0.5 [Provisional Rule] Try to use alt text or image descriptions to allow for greater accessibility

(Please take a look at our wiki page for the guidelines on how to actually write alternative text!)

We encourage alternative text (from now referred to as “alt text”) to be added to all posts/comments containing media, such as images, animated GIFs, videos, audio files, and custom emojis.
EDIT: For files you share in the comments, a simple summary should be enough if they’re too complex.

We are committed to social equity and to reducing barriers of entry, including (digital) communication and culture. It takes each of us only a few moments to make a whole world of content (more) accessible to a bunch of folks.

When alt text is absent, a reminder will be issued. If you don’t add the missing alt text within 48 hours, the post will be removed. No hard feelings.


0.5.1 Style tip about abbreviations and short forms

When writing stuff like “lol” and “iirc”, it’s a good idea to try and replace those with their all caps counterpart

  • ofc => OFC
  • af = AF
  • ok => OK
  • lol => LOL
  • bc => BC
  • bs => BS
  • iirc => IIRC
  • cia => CIA
  • nato => Nato (you don’t spell it when talking, right?)
  • usa => USA
  • prc => PRC
  • etc.

Why? Because otherwise (AFAIK), screen readers will try to read them out as actually words instead of spelling them


1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here

Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven’t considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.


2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such

That means condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the “anti-USA” flavor.


3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.

That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of “Marxist”-“Leninists” (read: Dengists) (actual ML’s are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don’t just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).


4. No Bigotry.

The only dangerous minority is the rich.


5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.

We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.


6. Don't irrationally idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.

Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people’s/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.


  1. Absolutely no posts or comments meant to relativize(/apologize for), advocate, promote or defend:
  • Racism
  • Sexism
  • Queerphobia
  • Ableism
  • Classism
  • Sexual assault
  • Genocide/ethnic cleansing or (mass) deportations
  • Fascism
  • (National) chauvinism
  • Orientalism
  • Colonialism or Imperialism (and their neo- counterparts)
  • Zionism
  • Religious fundamentalism of any kind
