I'm convinced that every politician is just there to keep civilians at bay. Sprinkle just enough bullshit to keep them happy. When shit hits the fan they all bond together in unisom.

It's all made up and the points don't matter.

Guys we talked about this, reading theory is cheating, I don't want to hear all this stuff about the political left just existing as bulwark against the actual left, demsocs are the moderates of fascism, etc etc we get it. Please just shut up and let us pretend all of these problems are new and unsolvable

liberals were so mad that Stalin said social democracy is the moderate arm of fascism, yet he is proven correct time and time again.

It's pathetic he wasn't at the forefront of the pro-Palestine caucus. Sanders is such a shameless social fascist.

The difference is that Israelis died on a fairly large scale this time. This has given Israel the license to do some genocide in the eyes of the American Liberal, which is also why Netunyahu and other hard-core zionists have been supporting Hamas.
