istg there really is the brainworm in the online left that anti America = based socialist epic comrades. it’s very naive and shows a total lack of understanding of international politics. a place does not have to be socialist for us to think imperialism and foreign intervention is bad and they should be left alone

There are reasons to organize as socialist that have nothing to do with fighting imperialism.

Sometimes you simply need to support a large population with limited resources while still growing your economy.

Is this really happening at any meaningfull capacity tho. First of all this issue only can really apply to Iran, Russia, Syria. And even in the most terminaly online spaces at most i have seen a single digit amount of people geniounly and unironicaly thinking these countries or governments or leaders are socialists. For Iran i dont see it happening and at most there are some Putin supporters in the left in a kind of “he isnt worse than socdems and something big cool leader theory”. Not that him or Russia are socialist. For Syria even most uncritical Assad supporters in the left for example will just say “Yeah he isnt a socialist but he is by far the best choice and the communist party of Syria backs him too”.

The only instance that this could be true as in there is a non zero % of the left that thinks given nation/leader are socialist is Lybia and Gaddafi, who wasnt really socialist imo but in this case there is some nuance of the " strong welfare state and policies without imperialism and with anti-imperialism=aligned with socialism" mindset

I’m going to test this for science:

Putin is ugly, he looks like a doo doo head who shids out his noseholes

(I’m not dissing Assad, I’m too smart for that)

If this somehow was to happen America would be back in the country within a month.

Into which airport?

The whole reason we’re leaving is because we have blown through all our regional allies.

The best we’ll be able to manage is to launch an air war a la Desert Fox, in hopes of exacting some kind of petty revenge.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
