Leftist Infighting: A community dedicated to allowing leftists to vent their frustrations

1408 readers

The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.

The idea that the Palestinian people have only been able to persist because of their religion is ridiculous to me. They are resisting because colonialism, apartheid and genocide are very bad things to which nobody would want to be subjected, not because of Islam. If Palestinians were atheists, is he suggesting that they wouldn't have the strength or the will to resist? Would their lack of a belief in the supernatural turn them into doormats for Isn'treal?

I like Hakim's content, but his position on religion is quite frustrating. He is a Muslim first and a Marxist second. Also, Joram van Klaveren is still a right-winger.

he's right, communism cannot be achieved without Islam

This is correct if by Islam you mean "I slam dunk the severed head of the bourgeoisie into the basket".

Nevermind, thats a pretty good shitpost lol. I fell for the bait. My point still stands though, so I'll leave it up.

How did the Soviet Union, China, Vietnam, Cuba, and Laos build their socialist projects then?

And if that’s the case, why has Islam not appeared in the writings of Lenin, Marx, Mao, Stalin, Castro and many other massive historical and contemporary Marxist thinkers?

That's just bizarrely revisionist. When did Islam become a prerequisite for communism?

The_kid is obviously shitposting

How can you tell? Genuinely, I don't mean to be hostile, but I cannot tell at all.

It's hard for me to tell, but I interact with the_kid on hexbear a lot and it's the type of shit they say ironically over there.

That makes sense, it is a pretty good shitpost then. Though it was a bit easy to get caught in the crossfire with it.
