Technically the domain stands for Mali and it was picked because it was cheap, but that’s a nice coincidence.

Fair!

I wish I began studying Marxism-Leninism earlier. Would’ve been pretty helpful.

Very pretty cat!

No, the best option is to organize directly and agitate against the system. This historically has protected marginalized groups far better, it’s how the Civil Rights movement passed. Simply “spreading the word” about socialism does absolutely nothing about the existing levers of power we can and cannot pull, we must do so in the context of broader organizing.

Absolutely.

This was a poll of Lemmy.ca, not all of Lemmy, and I don’t think politics were polled. Politics would vary quite a lot depending on instance, same with nationality.

Haha, fair!

Netanyahu doesn’t have the actual power in the US-Israel relationship. Israel is thoroughly dependent on the US, while there’s some counter-influence the real seat of power is the US Empire. If Israel becomes more costly to support financially, such as the incredibly high shipping costs due to Yemen’s attacks on shipping, as well as an exodus of settlers to keep the project going, only then will Israel lose support and thus collapse.

It isn’t the excuse at all, the US has unwavering support for Israel because it’s essentially a giant US millitary base in the middle east.

The purpose of supporting Israel is so that it secures US interests in the region.

I admitted nothing of the sort, I’m a communist and I do org work in real life. You’ve lashed out at people online for not agreeing with you.

The US Empire is the world’s worst country. It’s the biggest exporter of genocide and terror, and the world’s biggest plunderer. Harris would maintain that exact same brutal system, domestically and internationally. It’s not hard to be better than them. Yes, Harris would send people to CECOT without trial, every imperialist president has done acts like that.

Chill out with the calling everyone to your left a child or a Russian bot, etc. It’s the peak of liberalism.

Racism and dehumanization of those you disagree with? From a .world account? I’m astonished. /s

Yep, it’s all smoke and mirrors.

I’m not ignoring everything except one aspect, though. Both are genocidal, and both serve the interests of the US Empire above all-else, and as such they share far more in common than not. I’m not ignorant, and you can take your faux-superiority back. I’ve been here far longer than you have, telling me to go back to Reddit doesn’t make any sense. I’m a communist, the devs are communists, and a lot of communists are on Lemmy after various subreddits like r/GenZedong, r/TheDeprogram, and r/ChapoTrapHouse got banned. What I say fits in here.

It’s almost like 2 genocidal fascists can’t be considered “good” to begin with.

For the queer Yemeni, liberation comes from opposing imperialism first and foremost. This is clear, and is why I take issue with framing the government as a reactionary nightmare. Rather, in resisting imperialism, it’s more common for social progress to accelerate. Yemen is one of the poorest countries in the world, and trying to frame it as an “authoritarian nightmare” just cedes the narrative to imperialists.

Yemen is progressive in the global context, and socially has a long way to go, but in that it already fights imperialism, is capable of progressing socially more expediently. This is the problem with trying to use moralistic terminology and loaded phrases like “authoritarian nightmare,” it makes it seem like Yemen needs outside intervention to progress, rather than internal progress.

Framing their government as “conservative authoritarian nightmare” follows the imperialist narrative. It’s a progressive nationalist country resisting imperialism, they would be thrown backwards with regime-change. It’s not about binaries, but about forces at play.

The problem with your framing, and the disconnect between you and I, seems to be that you look at progression/regression as simply personal choices, and to be weighed out on scales of positive and negative. You have to analyze the actual underlying systems, ie US Imperialism vs a nationalist country under siege by imperialism. These movements aren’t to be weighed up on a scale, but the overarching forces at play have to be recognized and analyzed. Yemen’s path to progress socially is most accelerated by assisting them against imperialism, liberating queer Yemenis from US imperialism and making their social progress easier.
