There is only one conclusion possible: the war in Gaza is a war between two imperialist states.

      No, you don’t understand, imperialism is when you fight people, and the Gazans are fighting fascists, meaning they are imperialist.

      In contrast to the comrade, we are convinced that Gaza is not only a national entity but that the regime in Gaza has also several functions of a bourgeois state: it collects taxes and has an army, a juridical apparatus, detention facilities, intelligence and police personal, etc. It is the Hamas de-facto administration which exercises these state functions and has, since 2005, under the direction of a highly centralised command centre, been able to fire thousands rockets into Israeli territory. There is only one conclusion possible: the war in Gaza is a war between two imperialist states.

      Imperialism is when nations. Hamas collects taxes ergo its a nation ipso facto its imperialist. Checkmate.

          More like 1921, as the well known imperialist ideologue, Lenin, explains (/s)

          But more seriously i'm really amazed at the ultras ability to quote Lenin but always goes completely against the meaning. Just yesterday some dumbass on deprogram was arguing that Lenin supported imperialists against national bourgeoisie and as such communists should support USA against Iran.

    But the article is right when it says that the slogan “Palestine will be free, from the river to the sea” can only signify the ethnic cleansing of the Jewish population in the region between the Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea, “a Nakba in reverse”.

    We publish here an exchange of views with T, a contact in Germany, focusing on the mobilisations in support of “Freedom for Palestine”.

    I am absolutely not reading this.

      You will be shocked, as I was, when you realize the comrade from Germany is the one defending Palestine.

      The German left has some of the most embarrassing and brainwormed "leftists" this planet has to offer. The fall of the GDR was an unmitigated disaster for Germany. All that remains is a funny-clown-hammer society that's outlived its usefulness. germany-cool

    Communism is when the government does something (domestic)

    Imperialism is when the government does something (international)

      Social relations are indeed superstructure (i think so anyway), but it is blatantly anti-dialectical to assume that changes in the superstructure do not impact the base. And it is even more absurd to ignore such dynamics given that they are the basis of literally all revolutionary movements.

      It's easy to get confused on this one, but T from Germany is actually the one arguing that Palestine should be supported in its anti-imperialist struggle.
