    would have to do something pretty wild to prompt all the people getting free college educations and all basic needs guaranteed to try and kill him.

    Almost like it was instigated by US/UK interference after forcing them to give up their nuclear deterrence, as they have done and continue to do to Socialist and leftist governments in Latin America and Africa to justify invasion and intervention. This is nothing new.

    Feel free to cite a source with evidence for those claims about Gaddafi btw. Afaik there are none aside from anonymous sources with no evidence, which is the most common way the US and its allies make propaganda.

    Your reply was to my comment pointing out that the destabilization and then the invasion of Libya by NATO was wholly unjustified, as all imperial core invasions are. If you agree with that what are you even arguing about?

    NATO only got involved in Libya after the civil war was in full swing

    “The country was already in a terrible state after we funded countless insurgencies since forcing them to give up self-defence programs. We just went in and finished the job.”

    Libya had gone from one of the poorest countries in the world to having the highest human development index of any country in Africa by 2010 under the Socialist government, and became a powerful anti-capitalist force in Africa. The US and UK forced Libya to give up their nuclear weapons program in 2003 and used the resulting lack of a deterrent to fund insugencies in the country, then used that as a casus belli to invade and destroy it.

    Come on, we’ve seen this play out time and time again with the US and its allies. Be it the wars in Vietnam, Cuba, Afganistan or the countless coup’s against leftist governments in Africa and Latin America. We’re literally watching this happen in Palestine right now with the US-backed “israel” forcing Palestinians to use armed resistance against their oppressors, then using that as a casus belli by calling it “terrorism” to invade.

    It’s very leftist; the dialogue is full of political speak and the game itself is set in Revachol, a place where a communist revolution was crushed by the Coalition (a foreign capitalist military alliance and somewhat of a stand-in for NATO), similar to what happened to Libya and USSR.

    The story centers around you (a cop) trying to solve a murder mystery that has something to do with the local Dockworkers’ Union striking for overtime pay, workplace democracy etc from a megacorporation.

    Alot of the creators are also communists, as you can see from one of the (ex) writers for the game saying that the workplace culture after the recent lay-offs of alot of the writers was like “transitioning from the Soviet Union to the fascist Russian Federation

    Race, gender, religious prejudices

    All secondary contradictions as consequences of class society, which is currently capitalism; it being feudalism in most of the world before that instead of capitalism doesn’t change that it was, and still is, class society. Tackling the symptoms alone won’t solve the core issue.

    Racial, gender, queer emancipation are all part of proletariat emancipation. It’s not an either/or.

    Politicians are part of the state, which is shaped by the economic system which, in most of the world, is currently capitalism.

    The root of the problem is class society and the capitalist system where the ruling class are the capitalists. So it doesn’t really matter who the politicians are until the economic system, and thus the ruling class, are changed, which can only happen by organizing outside the capitalist political system whose only purpose is to protect capital.






  • Removed the “insults” that hurt you so much:

    all you can think of in response to that is basically “nuh uh”. You could only come up with adding “Blah blah fucking blah” to that?

    Are you shocked allies back each other?

    Read the comment you’re replying to.

    Did you make this same complaint before October 7th

    Yes, as did anyone with half a braincell. Evidently you’re not one of them though.

    Do you think I’m championing this behavior by stating facts?

    Refer to the facts in the comment you’re replying to.

    You’re delusional mate

    Yeah, you clearly are.
