States don’t have rights. International law exists to serve the interests of the states that authored that law, not your interests. Stop mistaking a state’s interests for yours. They’re not and will never be the same.

Maybe it isn't about good/bad, maybe consider anti-imperialism?

Edit. Added a link to the thread because it keeps getting boosted to my timeline by Western "leftists" and I think it deserves to be dunked on.

    Iran is not coming to save the Palestinians.

    Well then who is??? blocky-wat

    Very anarchist to suggest that Iran should enter a full scale war with USA/Israel.

      I think their answer is that the international working class should just spontaneously refuse to fight wars. I don't see how this is seen as viable. Or maybe its just a politics of vain hope, they did retweet some rando being like "we'll almost certainly lose, fight anyway"

        I wonder if anyone ever wrote anything about the spontaneity of the masses. Perhaps in 1903 in Russia? Never mind, must be my imagination.
