    Why would I make an effort to respond to your essay-length strawmen? You assert your credentials as though I know you and can verify them, when that’s more true of the nation you’re criticizing. We’re all internet bozos when we’re on the internet because it’s a trustless environment, and in that setting no one has standing to meaningfully criticize the decisions of AES states. You are not Marx, Engels, Lenin, or Stalin. If you have the standing that you sanctimoniously claim, then write an article.

    The only thing accomplished by English-speaking internet bozos whining about Islamism is to muddy the water surrounding Western aggression against Islamic states, and to disconcert support for AES states whose interests are currently aligned enough with them that they choose varying degrees of cooperation.

      I’m not dropping any credentials. I’m making reference to evidence. You can believe it or not, that’s your prerogative and obviously it’s convenient for you to not believe it because you actually can’t talk about the relevant content, but just have to resort to ad-hominens, not justifying anything you are saying, not providing arguments or evidence, as if Marxism implied that these don’t matter, which again tells me you are posing ultra whose positions are vulgar materialism’s at best.

      Never said I was any of those people. Why would I? You are claiming that a position I am expressing is reactionary, and then using that to disregard every other opinion expressed, which would make these other individuals I’d guess you would claim to agree with also reactionaries, and would Like Lenin and Marx would be Islamophobic ten-fold more than me, as would a huge number of communists in the Islamic world, if your conditions for it were correct. WTF does me not being them have to do with anything? What matters are the actual reasons you can give for the political position you are putting forward, and your’s amounts to betrayal of communists outside of the west and cowardice for the sake of virtue-signalling.

      If I give reasons, and you can’t respond to them, except through the classic abusive partner tactic of pre-emptively accusing the other person in the discussion of what you have embarrassingly shown yourself to be guilty of at length (straw men) because you don’t actually know what you’re talking about, then again that says far more negative about your position than mine. If you are going to complain about a Marxist on a communist forum giving long-length explanations and arguments for views, then grow the fuck up you ultra. The idea that suddenly people can’t make reference to their own experience has never been the case here, so well done for just inventing that ad hoc to avoid the fact that you are happy to be silent about atrocities against comrades in other countries because you feel you lose virtue points. That’s called cowardice.

      I live in the West now, but I am not from the West. I moved here. So watch your fucking mouth. If you think I am having these conversations only in English then you again don’t know what you’re talking about. And yeh I do write articles. In English and not in English. Since when what that exclusive with discussing with other comrades on a forum? Again you’re just inventing ad hoc shit but you have nothing to contribute.

      I’m sick and tired of this take that all you crypto Christian, self-hating masochistic cracker yanks have, where you are so insecure about being American that you have to be as ultra as possible to virtue-signal as hard as possible about how opposed you are to yankie imperialism, where you claim that any negative comment about any group outside the West is therefore somehow metaphysically supporting western imperialism, which is such a bizarre argument it’s ridiculous that time even has to be spent dealing with it. I am muddying nothing. I’m being clear. You are muddying and not expressing what you think because of either cowardice, embarrassment or ignorance.

      Like it’s embarrassing that either you can’t understand that the following two propositions can be believe at the same time, or that people are too stupid to be able to do so: namely (1) that Islamists are reactionary and are key obstacles to communist (left-wing more broadly) political organization in those countries, and (2) that Islamic countries are victims of Western Imperialism. Like if you really think all that, you are literally in the grip of infantile disorder. Both these things are true you dullard. What do you think it looks like when you write that? It looks either like you don’t think they are reactionary, in which case you’re reactionary, or like you are admitting implicitly that they are but that you think workers are too stupid to be able to understand that, and so you are expressing a classist position. Again reactionary. It’s precisely one of your tasks as a militant to bring people to that correct position. Again, if you don’t understand how necessary that is, then you are reminding me that you are not involved in any militant or party activity, but in those contexts you have to formulate serious responses to that, and you will look like a dolt to your working class if all you can say is 'we don’t want to make clear our opposition to all forms of far-right politics. Like you do understand that other people literally live in countries where the influence of Islamism is actually a thing? If you want to organize Muslims workers, you have to combat it, because otherwise you are at a disadvantage.

      Also, you do understand that there are Islamists in power who are supported by the West? So what, in those cases you only recognize how reactionary they are to the extent they receive Western support? Again: stop projecting your infantile, ignorant yankie view on the rest of the world. You have literally achieved the least of any communist tradition, practically or theoretically. An AES can do real politik all they like. The idea every communist in the world is obliged to follow them to the letter is not only intellectually lazy but also incoherent, as they contradict one-another frequently. They can also be wrong. They can engage in revisionism. You just ad hoc assuming that they necessarily have a correct take has never been the correct ideological practice of any successful communist party. I’m guessing again you haven’t looked at the debates within communist parties over similar questions from the last hundred years if that is your view. China has had plenty of positive things to say about Israel. No-one here is about to repeat those, because the actual concrete content of the situation in Palestine obviously calls for unambiguous support for Palestinian liberation from Israeli fascism.
