It’s preposterous that the flag of the most destructive proponent of western (mostly US) hegemony and imperialism is placed right there beside a pride flag with a peace sign!
Let’s use out combined power to stamp out this murderous, civilian-bombing and subjugating stain from the canvas (by extending the prideflag over it)!
Any progressive should be against imperialism and imo it is a “mask off” moment which rly helps distinguishing between well meaning progressive libs and neoliberal posers
Agreed. I don’t fault libs for not reading Lenin, but again, you don’t need Lenin to understand the negative role NATO has played historically. Even well-intentioned non-Marxist, non-Anarchist liberals can deduce that NATO is the largest Imperialist military alliance in history.
To not only not recognize this, but to further support NATO, shows where your stances really reside.
So what’s the alternative to combatting Russian and Chinese imperialism as a western-born leftist?
How would/should an organised socialist military industrial complex shake out and not also be labeled imperialist? As someone who hasn’t read Lenin, what is the solution to creating a society we dream of without the “big stick” that is NATO?
Yes they can and do… and that’s why liberals love NATO.
