I said "Communist," not "fascist."

Yes people often call themselves communist or similar while supporting fascist dictatorships and the like, makes it easier to say.

Do they? Outside of MAGA Communists and PatSocs, I don't believe there are many, if any, Communists supporting fascist dictatorships. Historically, it's the opposite, Communists have gone to war with fascists.

Edit: oh, you're projecting, you're a fascist:

"I hope hamas can be defeated and the people of Palestine can be free from their oppression and propaganda. I was brought up being told it's the job of the strong to protect the weak and we can't fool ourselves into being tolerant to the intolerant. Its hard making difficult choices especially against enemies who use human shields and lies but the IDF are making the area a better place so history will respect them regardless of what agents and fools say now."

Supporting the genocide of 180,000 Palestinians and saying that genocide is "making Palestine a better place" is absolutely monstrous. Checks out for a sh.itjust.works user though.

I think you genuinely believe this person is a honest hearted communist hoping for a better world for the working people, that's hilarious and kinda cute.

OP is a Marxist, and has consistently demonstrated Marxist analysis and advocacy for Marxism.

And yeah of course you would take the most basic and naively idealistic understand of the Middle East situation and push it like there's no other possible understanding. That's when the cuteness wears off and people start to roll their eyes

The Genocide of Palestinians by the fascist IDF has a long and complicated history, yes. Your open support for fascism and genocide, and pushing propaganda like the "Human Shields" narrative to justify the mass slaughterings and tortures of Palestinian civilians is about as on-the-nose as you can get. Assuming me calling you out for your vocal and enthusiastic support for genocide means I am simply "naiive" and oversimplifying a complex situation when 180,000 Palestinians lay dead from the forces you support is dodging and cowardice.

They do justify a lot of anti-communism for an assumed Marxist. US and Israel fascism is clear, it's the rest they seem to have apologia towards.

What do you mean, genuinely? Do you know their stances?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Tbh the flip flopping and counter effective comments do make the stances unclear

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Can you give an example?
