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

Yeah no, the one state is the only future, and if you’re squatting in a Palestinian family’s home your ass is getting evicted so you best come to terms with that

I hope you enjoy your future Palestinian citizenship and can look back on your old racist self with disgust and shame, it’s honestly more than you deserve

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

Honestly dude if I lost a debate as hard as you did I wouldn’t be spouting this psychobabble diarrhea

“you believe in stuff and that’s bad cause I don’t believe in anything” is never the place you want to be in a discussion, you basically admitted you have no clue what the fuck you’re talking about and because your opponent does that somehow makes them mentally ill???

Seriously get a grip

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

I believe that if you were to take a random sample of humanity, wipe their memories and drop them on an alien world, capitalism would happen

Let’s think about that claim a little more carefully, why didn’t the Romans, the Greeks, the Persians, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Arabs, the Sumerians, the Ancient Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Sumerians, the Maya, or the Inca develop capitalism

Why did it take 5,000 years after recorded history began for capitalism to emerge if it’s such a “natural phenomenon”

This was done in order to perpetuate and protect the status quo in the USA for geopolitical reasons, but is not necessary for capitalism to function

You really don’t see the contradiction in your claim? Let me spell it out; the “status quo” of the USA IS capitalism

what’s to stop me from accumulating wealth?

Same thing that would stop you from pulling your pants down and sitting on a friend’s carpet or unplugging their TV and walking off with it

You do not understand what words like anarchy, communism or capitalism mean

Capitalism is not a natural occurrence, it requires a state to function, planning, control and above all violence; no capitalist would honor a contract if there weren’t courts to enforce them, no capitalist would feel secure if there weren’t state agents protecting their property, no capitalist in history would’ve been able to create foreign markets without European armies conquering the world

You fundamentally do not understand the depth and scope of these discussions, you read a definition in Webster and you think you know about the way the world works? But you can’t even see the obvious facts right in front of your face

The GOP is directly inspired by the homophobic attitudes in both countries

lmao are you doing a shitty bit, what absolute fuckin nonsense, absolving western homophobes of responsibility and agency while simultaneously peddling a racist conspiracy theory, get a grip you shitlib

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
