Fuck French Imperialism Rule
(lemmy.tf)
That means fuck ECOWAS as a tool of the oppressors also. Critical support for ~~every~~ most coup(s) in Africa, and for the rights of Africans to demand the French and US militaries leave their country.

what is tankie propaganda doing on my tankie-free community, go away to lemmygrad with this shit
Supporting popular uprisings against neocolonial compradore regimes is tankie propaganda now? I’ll be sure to tell my entire Food Not Bombs group they’re all tankies, and that we can no longer practice anarchism anymore because some guy on lemmy says we’re tankies because we support the right of the African people to self-determine.
What praxis groups are you a member of that support the ousted government despite the popular support for the coups? I’d be interested in knowing, so I can be sure to never give material support to such a reactionary organization.
Edit: Also, two comments in three months, only one of which (this one) in 196. For being your community, you sure contribute a lot less than I and many others do.
you sound like you're in dire need of a shower and a grass touching session
as per your edit, i'm shy and also have better things to do than having twitter level discourse with annoying anarchists that whine about western imperialism while suspiciously getting defensive about russian influence in recent military coups (not popular uprisings) :^)
I definitely could use a shower, I woke up late today, but I touch grass every day on my way to feed the chickens before I go to work for the day, thanks for your concern. Usually I’m wearing shoes, but I’ve been trying to toughen the soles of my feet recently, so I go barefoot basically anytime I’m at home.
Tankie is when you oppose french neocolonialism
Acknowledging the bad things that Western nations have done doesn't mean that you think it's alright for Russia/China to do the same bad things
oh of course, that I agree with. the point of my shitpostey comment though was that this post suspiciously ignores wagner/ccp influence in sub-saharan africa and kind of implies that the recent military coups had anything to do with civil resistance.
