This is not simply a matter of morals. Israel was created from a land grab, making enemies on all sides. And Israel was created to be a nation-state of Jews both in religion and also in ethnicity. Israels own existence as a project depends on creating an ethno-religious hegemony in the region and they can’t tolerate the existence of other peoples being the majority in the land. Not only that, but they can’t even rely on the birthrate of the current Israeli population, they need to bring migrants to become settlers until they become a majority. Settlers want land and jobs

Imagine if Germany had a ethno-nationalist project where they had to guarantee an ethnical superiority with very strict national values, and they had to deal with a bunch of different ethnicities in their own territory and in the neighborhood of their territory, what would have happened? What destiny would take the Jews, Romani, Polish, Czech, Slavs, Communists, Socialists, and other religious minorities?

Agreed. This is just flame bait so people fighting each other. Capitalism is a monster big enough for all us to fight, we don’t need to help it even more by fighting amongst ourselves.

Yeah, but I think the country with the biggest Trot orgs is Argentina. But I don’t know if Trotsky himself went there.

LATAM Marxists aren’t a classification, what I mean is Marxist orgs that exist in LATAM. Regarding the specific lines, we have MLs, trots, maoists, hoxhaists, postmodern marxists, liberation theologians, and others.

A curiosity about some LATAM currents, the Posadist tendency is originally from a Trot org based on Argentina.

But LATAM has been an intense battlefield of Marxists orgs/tendencies vs reactionary forces and we had guerrillas and civil wars basically everywhere in the 20th century. The PC do B from Brazil took part in the “Guerrilha do Araguaia”, MR8 and other armed resistance movements. Dilma Rousseff, ex president, was also a guerrilla fighter. Gustavo Petro, recent president of Colombia, also participated in the M-19 guerrilla. Argentina had the Montoneros and Uruguay the Tupamaros. However, not all guerrillas were Marxist, and there were many other liberal tendencies in those as well.

Edit: but the problem is that, after the fall of the USSR, many parties split, many parties and leaders became revisionists, and the remaining ML/Trot parties became insignificant, dogmatic or sectarian.

Then we need to apply this to some LATAM Marxists too, specially Trots (but some MLs too, unfortunately).

Welcome, comrade, whether you want or not, we’ll fight for the revolution.

Hell yes, our red tanks will advance, and we’ll take the whole world!

Regulating is useless, if it can’t be enforced. And why the representatives will create any regulations at all if they are in the pocket of the billionaires who run those companies?

Even funnier fact. The alpha, beta nomenclature initially appeared from a study related to chicken pecking order. And there’s no alpha rooster, but an alpha hen.

Yeah, I’m disgusted for having to stare at his “package” because of the post title. Why did OP do this to us?

I love these pseudo intelectual arguments that try to explain human behavior. It’s a fact that there are biological differences between men and women, that is obvious. But people love to pull sophisticated pseudo scientific arguments that rest in very weak premises, which often ignore the many other factors (for example social and political) that also influence the outcome this argument is trying to explain.

So, this women are bad at spatial awareness so they are bad at math. How do we objectively validate the premise in the first place, without taking into account biases that can influence that very premise, like social, nutritional and political factors? Are math skills only influenced by spatial awareness or are there other factors that influence math skills?

So this argument is actually a subjective prejudice but worded in a way that seems to be scientifically valid. One consequence of the enlightenment is that we started to try all the time to disguise a subjective prejudice with an objective truth. After that we had eugenics, (pseudo-) scientific race theory and all kinds bad justifications, but the truth is that people want to exploit other people, and they think that coming up with moral and scientific explanations for this exploitation makes them sleep better after making numerous atrocities during the day.

Meaning that I just need to chill and feed from particles from the water instead of having to slave myself off for wage so a billionaire could dream of going Mars while trying to destroy the very planet we currently live. Don’t know what to think, but in Spike’s place I’d think that we actually need to do is a revolution!
