Oh shit, a balanced, nuanced take on a complex issue. Quick, get the Americans out of of here, they won’t be able to handle this.
This is what you get when you elect a lunatic extreme leftist anti-fascist super socialist politic. Enjoy your hell hole. /s
Plenty of Americans can handle nuance. But cool bigotry though
Get kilometered
Explain that.
Probably because it’s super fucked up and you’d be banned. Cool
In the european language this means something like you should be crowned as the new king of England for your opinions, god save the queen.
Edit: Also get fucked and kill yourself you stupid son of a bitch for thinking I’m scared of getting banned. I don’t know what else to say, I need to reed the rules once to know how to break them. Get cancer.
someone needs a nap
whoever upvoted that kilometered comment probably has the same mindset jsyk, so thats an opportunity for some mods
Thanks buddy. I love you too.
You mean the democratic socialist, an inherently anti-authoritarian party, is calling out authoritarians?
Is it going to be news when he condems Xixing Ping and Putin and Netanyahu, and the Iranian Shah, and Saudi Royal family, and well you get the picture.
Fuck authority that doesn’t earn it.
Chiching Ping isnt his name, but that is hilarious
Its Xi Jinping
I don’t actually remember how to spell it because whenever I call him Winnie the Pooh it summons the CCP bot army calling that racist and I forget. Maybe this will be the time.
I thought it was a cash register sound with the ping left over for how much he personally benefits from his position.
Are you confusing Xi with Deng/Hu?
To be fair, I spelled it Xi jingping.
I don’t understand how we got Chichong Ping from my missspelling but here we are
To be fair, that is how @ToastedRavioli@midwest.social responded to your comment and I assumed it was the same mispelling.
That’s my bad for not checking, sorry.
It is racist, you are racist
… and USA…
The other “but do you condemn Hamas” of leftism, gotta say it or you scare the bitches.
For decades, many left-leaning writers and speakers in the United States have felt obliged to establish their credibility by indulging in anticommunist and anti-Soviet genuflection, seemingly unable to give a talk or write an article or book review on whatever political subject without injecting some anti-Red sideswipe. The intent was, and still is, to distance themselves from the Marxist-Leninist Left.
Adam Hochschild, a liberal writer and publisher, warned those on the Left who might be lackadaisical about condemning existing communist societies that they “weaken their credibility” (Guardian, 5/23/84). In other words, to be credible opponents of the cold war, we first had to join in cold war condemnations of communist societies. Ronald Radosh urged that the peace movement purge itself of communists so that it not be accused of being communist (Guardian, 3/16/83). If I understand Radosh: To save ourselves from anticommunist witchhunts, we should ourselves become witchhunters.
Purging the Left of communists became a longstanding practice, having injurious effects on various progressive causes. For instance, in 1949 some twelve unions were ousted from the CIO because they had Reds in their leadership. The purge reduced CIO membership by some 1.7 million and seriously weakened its recruitment drives and political clout. In the late 1940s, to avoid being “smeared” as Reds, Americans for Democratic Action (ADA), a supposedly progressive group, became one of the most vocally anticommunist organizations.
The strategy did not work. ADA and others on the Left were still attacked for being communist or soft on communism by those on the Right. Then and now, many on the Left have failed to realize that those who fight for social change on behalf of the less-privileged elements of society will be Red-baited by conservative elites whether they are communists or not. For ruling interests, it makes little difference whether their wealth and power is challenged by “communist subversives” or “loyal American liberals.” All are lumped together as more or less equally abhorrent.

Tankies: leftist infighting bad!
Also tankies: this fucking post
Imperialism is bad period
If they’re doing state department volunteer work they’re not left of anything, fucking duh
Dem politicians have nothing to do with the left.
Typical lib tankies bad comment.
not surprised, he’s an american from the uniparty after all.

.world and announcing their pride in ignorance, name a better duo
Sometimes people just spout the same exact bullshit you’ve heard a thousand times before, and only get hold of new opinions every blue moon. Especially the far-right, which now tries to use disdain towards artists to covertly push censorship while pretending to care about “freedom of speech” (read: ability of saying slurs without any negative consequences).
yes those dirty brown people in south america can’t do socialism right when its being sieged by the US!
how telling of mr. mamdani.
Didn’t even bother to read the whole quote…
i did.
the US didn’t “make it worse”. the US is the one creating these bad conditions, and it’s about to make things worse for south america.
What…?
you are at least aware venezuela and cuba are in the gutter because of US blockades, not their leadership, right?
US blockades are responsible for their financial crises, not for them arresting journalists and dissenters. Also, the quote in the screenshot explicitly states that the US only made things worse.
should we not arrest far-right traitors and criminals against humanity? i WISH they where shutting fascists up as hard as libs think they do.
is that why you guys let trump run for president (and win) twice?
Yeah, we should. Never said anything against that. Also never let Trump run for president, as I am not American, nor am I a liberal.
you are arguing like you are both. the last thing we need is more imperialist war, or any more cia talking points from unsuspecting libs.
i understand why he would adopt the bothsides viewpoint, but it disgustingly hinges on the impending doom the us will bring to the venezuelan people with “maduro” and “democracy” as an obvious excuse. an old one at that.
like they care about anything but oil and other natural resources. a “socialist” saying this precisely now is a red flag.
He literally says US interventionism hasn’t done any good. How are you interpreting this as him wanting to intervene in their affairs?
You can criticize a government without wanting to overthrow them.
