The UK and US have now designated funhole as a Terrorist Group

So your upset he shared a part of Yemeni culture for like a minute? I’m sorry but that’s a ridiculous thing to hyper-focus on, especially once you acknowledge the entire scope about his coverage of the Yemeni people’s plight and interviewed a Yemeni teenager to talk about his experience growing up under that genocide.

If you don’t fuck with anti-imperialism, that’s your choice. But to me it’s pretty clear he was not “excusing houthi propaganda” when you watch the full clip. He’s also talked extensively about the ongoing Genocide in Yemen, and how all aspects of that affect the daily lives of the Yemeni people

All these right-wing smears have been debunked (see description for the timestamps of each smear)

I hope you also realize that Mamdani and Abdul are still friends with and have regular contact with Hasan, which makes these smears even more strange coming from an Abdul fan

Abdul was the one who reached out to Hasan and asked him to stump for him. None of these right-wing attack ads have any motion anyway, and doesn’t change Abdul’s messaging discipline, as these ruthlessly islamphobic attacks would happen either way

I’m sorry, what’s funny about fascism?

If you’re defending the IDF or a Zionist’s service in the IDF, you may be a Zionist

What are you talking about, there are absolutely pro-palestinian Israelis fighting the good fight and they are welcome.

This is about Zionism, a fascist ideology.

What you’re doing here is no different from the Myth of the clean Wehrmacht

No, not every person who serves is a bad person, the ones with a conscious become ANTI-WAR AVOCATES FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE once they become disillusioned.

All YOU are doing is defending fascists who continue to be fascists with NO change of heart. YOU should reevaluate yourself when you compare the victims of 76 years of ethnic cleansing to the perpetrators. Like holy shit.

The punishment for dodging is a couple months. The alternative is genocide.

Don’t know what zionists are downvoting you but they must be butthurt fascists

Of course you’re too high on smugness to bother getting the connection. My point hasn’t changed since the first comment I made on this thread, you’re just too much of a debate pervert to understand that

You clearly don’t even understand my point, because you’re not bothering to learn anything. You can’t even grasp the differences in economies, let alone the differences in how one is operated from a liberal party compared to a workers party.

Do you even know the main difference between the Chinese economy and the US economy? Both are mixed, as in they both have elements of socialist and capitalist organization, yet are organized and controlled in vastly different ways. The US, and other western economies, are beholden to Capital interests, because the liberal parties subservient to Capital. The socialist aspect has been withered away since the gains of socialist forces for decades, because workers have no power. The Chinese economy is under the control of the CCP, a workers party. While the party itself is organized as a Democratic Republic, the State is under the dictatorship of that workers party, meaning that Capitalist forces are subservient to the state. And that’s before the discussion of how a party can be communist, yet be able to wield the forces of capitalism within a controlled scope to rapidly industrialize key industries before taking state control to socialize those industries in the form of state capitalism. Let alone how worker cooperatives, where there is an actual socialist means of production, fit into the picture.

No investigation, no right to speak

You’re just proving my point here

You couldn’t give two shits but have no problem lying about animal abuse, what a weird and creepy thing to do. Go outside or something, whatever you’re doing here is incredibly unhealthy

He was reaching for a zyn, Kiya clipped her nail on the bed while climbing up

Thanks for sharing what you know, it’s a refreshing perspective to learn from

Do you know of any historians on the revolution to modern-day china that you’d recommend?

authoritarian and democracy are not mutually exclusive concepts. I think ignoring the details of both aspects in favor of thought terminating clichés is counterproductive, assuming the goal is to actually understand the intricacies of these societies instead of a black and white understanding.

You can either investigate yourself or lean into your preconceived biases, if you’re choosing the latter that’s your choice.

You clearly don’t want to have an actual discussion that includes those nuances that take into account the geopolitics of global capitalism and material conditions, so let’s just agree to disagree or something

It’s a massive simplification that removes all context of each of those countries anti-colonialist and anti-imperialist histories, all of which is incredibly important to understanding their current political organization and the scope that democracy holds in each.
