    the posters on the website are all only how this negatively affects americans

    Huh huh huh

    Were the 168 school girls American (underlined for focus) or were they not negatively affected?

    Or is it your belief that you actually should never mention that imperialism also has negative effects at home? That’s not even left liberal, that’s right liberal.

        I called you a liar because you lied and used that lie to call for violence against literally the only people organizing against the war in the US.

        But is it not pathetic that all sorry- most domestic “leftist” political campaigns have to lead with “how imperialism also has negative effects at home”?

        Do you have one single example of a revolution that wasn’t primarily concerned about what was happening at home? Call it pathetic, but there has never in human history been a revolution just because of what was happening ‘over there’.

        A significant amount of the posters on that site emphasize that this war only benefits the wealthy, as if it’d somehow be more just should the average U.S citizen enjoy the spoils instead.

        Or just an extremely straightforward explanation of the Leninist understanding of imperialism. When he said monopoly capital caused the war for their own gain, was it because he wanted three Russian workers and peasants to get the spoils?

        When agitating amongst a population you have to speak to their material interests
