They have a moral duty to die fighting their own country than fighting the russian
I support the Russian nationalists and I hope Ukraine no longer exists as a concept by the end of this war
I have no empathy.

The reparations ends when the colonizer class no longer exists. So long as there is white people, so long as there is americans, there will have to be reparations.
I think reparations can be tolerable, I think that people are naturally good and will recognize that they have to give back what is not theirs even if they suffer materially because of it. Also you’re right about the second part, I should have just said white americans.
English is the language of capital, so yes you are privileged if you speak it. Privilege can not be measured but it does exist, some people got it some people don’t. Being AMAB you’re privileged until you start transitioning, when you do, your privilege goes straight out the window, fucking defenestrated, it’s one of the few ways for someone’s privilege to go into the negatives after birth. I’m sure as society progresses trans people will become a bit more privileged but right now they don’t benefit at all unlike gay, lesbian, and bisexual people. It’s like being a black/white interracial couple in the 50s, sure some lingering oppression still exists today but it’s not exactly revolutionary to be a “race traitor” as it was in the past. Idk, there’s no theory on measuring one’s privilege. It do be deeply unserious
It’s not an ultraleft statement to say that AES states do a little capitalism and have contradictions and things, it’s ultraleft to say that we should tear down AES states and not just them but states critical of the west like Russia and Iran because they aren’t doing socialism. Also why do we even call them ultraleft? It’s far too dignified of a name, revisionist left is a far better description of their beliefs than ultraleft.
From a utilitarian perspective if the left could rally the masses of the imperial core to all collectively go to the suicide booth, that would be a win for the global south. Of course that’s inhuman, from the moral high ground we would rally the masses of the imperial core to send everything not nailed down to floor on cargo ships to the global south forever, and the west could live in moral comfort with just the essentials, that’s also inhuman because nobody wants to live like that. From a practical perspective the imperial core could agree to pay reparations and gradually pay back the debt they owe to the global south but that’s the worst option of all, that’s not radical change at all, that’s worse than inhuman, that’s liberalism.
The only reason why america would have an increase in wealth is that there is a large underclass of poc, lgbt, and women workers who aren’t being paid their fair share and are essentially second class citizens, and also this is assuming just equality, equity would require even Black Americans to give up some things. Part of the reparations Black people would make would go back to the global south, because nearly everyone is guilty in the imperial core, even the most vulnerable. The only people under capitalism who are not guilty, which is a very large part of the human population is everyone who is indigenous, a non labor aristocrat worker, nonchristian, nonwhite, nonenglish speaking, a woman. And I’m sure there more factors and not everyone in these groups is not innocent, but generally, I think everyone reading this is guilty, guilt doesn’t exclude you from being a communist, it’s probably the reason why many of us are. We all seen the inequalities in our daily lives, and we have all probably been victims to capitalism at the same time. There are people who have not suffered under capitalism and people who have only suffered and both can be comrades but everyone is somewhere in between I think.
We need to take the concept of sin and remove the forgiveness of sin from the concept and also state that some people do not have sin.
GDP is not reality. Yes we could provide Americans socialized healthcare, we could make housing affordable, we could reduce the cost of consumer goods. That’s not our goal, we aren’t trying to build the west a gilded cage where they can peacefully exist in heavily subsidized main streets and suburbs off the back of the socialist state. We want to tear down the American experience, their culture, their people, and remake it into something that can serve the global south rather than take from it. We want to do to America something much more punitive than what we did to East Germany. Yes they will get their healthcare, and housing, and treats. We will be taking their cars, their meats, their social media, their money, their guns, we will be taking so much from them because they need to pay reparations, and the payments will never end, we need to prepare the American working class to get into a mindset that they are in an eternal debt to the rest of humanity that they can never pay off and the only way this debt can stop existing is if the people can stop existing which is what we want since we are trying to stop whiteness from existing by simply better integrating communities together. I think it was Bolivia that forced racial integration by banning white marriages, not a perfect solution but our main concern is not the white working class. Our main concern could be to properly reeducate them to accept the equitable treatment we need to put on them, or we could not concern ourselves with trying to educate them at all and just force them to do as we say and cause resentment. The last thing we want is resentment, with education we can make people accept less.
There are certainly things we can improve in the imperial core but it would be a lie to say that the quality of life won’t go down for nearly everyone inside it. Let’s take the United States for example, ideally it should be broken up into multiple socialist republics, if nuclear weapons are used in the inevitable war that get us there parts of it that were formally populated will become not so. The thing with reactionaries is that yes we are a threat to their way of life, our empowerment will result in their disenfranchisement. And let me say that we do not want to create human suffering for even reactionaries, but a lot of people particularly the global south will want revenge and we are going to have to let them have it as a matter of practicality. What differentiates us from ultra leftists is we aren’t trying to have communism surpass christanity, capitalism, fascism, feudalism, and every other kind of societal system in terms of bodycount, we don’t want communism to be the most violent thing in human history, but ultra leftists do. The thing with posadists and nukes for example is that yes nukes can theoretically bring about the conditions necessary for communism but mainline communists like us don’t want nuclear war, we may joke about it, we might see it as an option in a fictional hypothetical, we may even relish the well earned suffering of the west because they deserve it, but we are not willing to tarnish communism with the deaths of billions to achieve our aims. Focus building socialism in your own home before you export it to others you know. That’s not to say there isn’t value to internationalism but socialism shouldn’t be exported from the imperial core. There’s a place to be aggressive, a place to be cruel, but overall we don’t want to be aggressive and cruel.
Oh honey. There won’t be a midwestern dpr. The country just needs to be nuked and made uninhabitable. That’s the only just thing that can and will happen.
