We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Country A invades Country B to "liberate" Group A. Imperialism.

Country C invades Country D to "liberate" Group B. Revolution.

Brought to you by the mindset of your average Marxist.

I'm not your average Marxist and that doesn't describe any conflict that comes to mind.

Isn't a revolution something that isn't brought by an outer invading force, but by the people of a country?

Literally Communist countries talk about the exporting revolution.

Your argument is the exact semantic nonsense I was highlighting.

I was just asking a question, I wasn't making an argument lol. Chill out your cojones mate.

A revolution would be Country D invading its own ruling class, no? You're just describing imperialism twice.
