i wish no harm to american ruling class, my enemy is the american people

op admits it was a joke originally, but says after witnessing the contempt of the american people for gaza, is sad to say his joke was correct (unless i’m misreading this)

the user posting_forever writes “yeah well welcome to what happens when your country bombs and threatens half of the earth. feels pretty shitty, huh?”

barbarism critic continues their thread “If you have posted this as a joke that’s one thing, but there’s wayyyy too much of this sentiment expressed sincerely on here and as a signifier of being the “most radical”. It is not! It is poorly disguised misanthropy and nihilism!”

one person say that barbarism critic is “the brianna wu of 2025. Remember kids I called it”

i guess there is some very real perceived material interests of americans to continue the genocide in palestine, like the christian zionists, or the liberals who want to continue the american dominance via global hegemony, and the labor aristocrats in america who want the treats.

i was listening to rev left radio “The Long Transition Towards Socialism and the End of Capitalism” with Torkil Lauesen and, probably gonna butcher it - but my understanding is that as we enter a multipolar world, the americans will not be able to blatantly exploit the over-exploited nations (global south) leading to increasingly deteriorating conditions in the imperial core, which will set the grounds very clearly between socialism and barbarism?

and we are to organize and help alleviate the woes of the people which also serve as a way of building relations that lead to building power via organizations.

(iirc the bolsheviks has above ground orgs and underground orgs for the law breaking stuff)

eh i dunno just over analyzing what do you peeps think.

    I’m just skimming all of this but as a communist I’m interested in also improving the lives of people I don’t like. Not like…class enemies but I am trying to make the lives of some less well off chuds better because I’m not a moralist. There is a line that can’t be crossed and generally you need some degree of power to cross it. Americans mostly suck, I’m candian we mostly suck and I’d rather see our more harmless naysayers eat crow and fall into line by seeing their material conditions genuinely improve, there’s some Renfields in the mix and they can get the pit but I think most people are just following the money at the end of the day and would be hard to mislead down these garden paths if they had their basic needs met, without a foreign entity to blame for a problem that no longer exists, most people will default to apathy. People won’t suck if you make it so the things around em don’t suck, and most people will just kinda go with whatever status quo works for them until it doesn’t. Powerless randoms on the wrong side of things can be obstacles, but if they aren’t picking up a gun then they’re propaganda obstacles, culture war obstacles. You got to know who your enemy is and also when to attack and when to bypass. Online do whatever but irl be tactical and tactful, pitch what communism can do for YOU
