Ah, yes, being anti-genocide is actually pro-genocide.

This is incorrect. The USSR was Socialist, and was attempting to work towards building Communism.

I dunno, you tell me where this is bullshit.

  1. Over time, Capitalism trends towards monopolization. We see this with mergers, "daughter companies," and other alignments as groups coalesce into syndicates

  2. Financial Capital, ie Banks, begin to control Industrial Capital through aquiring large amounts of shares and including conditions in loans, resulting in large-scale mergers of Capital

  3. Companies seek to export Capital, both industrial and financial, to the Global South where resources and wages are cheaper, so as to increase profit margins tremendously.

  4. Countries in the Global North generally divy amongst themselves different areas of the Global South

  5. Underdevelopment due to expropriation of resources drives countries in the Global South against the Global North, cutting off revenue

  6. As a consequence of deindustrialization combined with countries kicking out the Imperialist Powers, these countries in the Global North face crisis

Which do you disagree with?

Do you have any logical basis for rejecting what I've said, or are you just running on vibes and magic?

I'm not talking about resources, but the entire Imperialist Economic Mode of Production, ie dying Capitalism. The US is largely de-industrialized, it makes most of its profits off of Imperialism, ie export of Financial and Industrial Capital. The US doesn't produce what it needs, generally, because it is more profitable to hyper-exploit the Global South.

The US Empire will bring about its own ruin.

But still, you're at the ballot. May as well cast the vote, if PSL gets over 5% it gets funding.

More that neither are opposed to it.

America is largely de-industrialized, it doesn't "make" much, so instead it's dominated by Usury, ie financial Capital.

The fact of the matter is that not organizing on the Left just allows the Neo-Nazis to feel emboldened. Even in a deep red state, there are many Leftists, and rather than just remaining silent it's better to organize for your own protection.

The US isn't materially pushing for a ceasefire anyways, they are continuing to supply the genocide. The genocide isn't because of morals, as though pointing it out to the ruling class will make them swap. The genocide is because of economic reasons.

The US supports Israel unconditionally because it serves as the equivalent of an aircraft carrier in the Middle East. It solidifies the Petro-Dollar as the World Currency, which is a huge source of Imperialist profits through finanical dominance and foreign loans.

Biden's (and by extension Kamala's) "ceasefire" is a game of optics, they will do nothing to address the root cause and everything to try to get people to hush up about the genocide because the US needs a dangerous and belligerant Israel to keep other countries at bay.

It's kinda nice to see changing perceptions in real time, even other libs are starting to see how nonsensical the more rabid radlibs are.

If you're at the ballot, might as well toss the vote in the direction of Claudia De La Crúz, assuming you're a Leftist and she's on your ballot. Third party votes do force the larger parties to make concessions in the next elections, generally.
