Nobody is claiming that. This is just an idiotic straw man. You don't have to support the government in Iran to understand that invading countries is wrong. What the fuck is wrong with you people?
I did not claim that starting a war on Iran was OK. I said that sanctioning them is OK. Sanctions on Iran should not stop just because of Trump's idiotic war.
The Lancet has published data concluding that US imposed sanctions cause the deaths of more than 564,000 people each year. More than half of the dead are children under the age of 5. If that's what you support, you're utterly sick.
If open trade with, and therefore support of, a totalitarian theocratic regime that just killed tens of thousands of protestors is what you support, you're just as sick.
Way to try justify starving children fash.
Iran doesn't have starving children.
sure fash
The ten thousands of protesters numbers comes from iranint backed by saudi arabia. Not to say that the regime did not intentionally killed protesters. All the usa is responsible of millions of death and iarael is doing a genocide
Americans...
Why? Borders are imaginary.
Marx knew that.
that must've sounded really clever in your head
Am I wrong? You definitely can't see or touch them.
The USSR also initiated a few invasions.
Yeah, he was expecting there'd eventually be a global revolution... that would disregard borders.
What he was actually expecting was that the contradictions of capitalism will cause the system to implode on itself, which is precisely what we see unfolding today.
He was pretty clearly not just writing about the English proletariat, or the German. Except there wasn't really a Germany the same way at all at the time, because borders are imaginary.
I am not a tankie and I have the same opinion cna you provide a real argument now?
Mmm, I recognise you. Pretty sure you are.
But sure: Borders are imaginary. True, yes? Then why does crossing them change whether an action is right or wrong.
I never said borders are imaginary
I know.
You want to rebut the idea, then?
