    "Human nature" is formed by societal norms, which are in turn formed by the present mode of production and thus material reality. Humans aren't racist by nature lmfao, such a dumb right wing assertion.

    Simply put, materialism — as opposed to idealism — is the idea that everything we do and experience as a society (our history, culture, politics, etc) is shaped by the material reality around us, rather than ideas.

    "Material analysis" in this case therefore means analysing politics and history through this lens. And it's a fundamental component of socialism/marxism.

    Yogthos is insulting liberals because liberalism is an idealist ideology that always eventually gives way to fascism when a capitalist state is (inevitably) in decay.

    Would be hilarious if they weren't told what kind of video the sponsor section would be in. Doubt any of Hakim's viewers will click on that.

    This. If you actually want positive change, go out and join a socialist org to take direct action. In capitalist states — specially imperial core ones — elections are just an ad campaign that won't bring any positive change for workers on its own.

    Elections will, however, gradually shift to the far-right as long as liberals/capitalists are in power (see: overton window).

    Typical liberal rejecting any shift to the left in favour of fascists.

    It's great that the LFI managed to come this far even within a liberal framework, but real change has only ever come from organizing and applying pressure from outside the capitalist system to overthrow it. This should be a signal to french comrades to start organizing for that.

    Watching the video would help. Basically, it's a barely-held-together coalition that won't last for very long. Meanwhile the far-right has massively risen in popularity over the last few years.

    Calm down bro 😭 it's a reasonable thing to point out when presented with "Our ability to destroy is the trait that has powered our rise"

    Maybe could've done without the "The fuck are you on?" though I guess

  • Majority of Jewish Israelis oppose prosecution of soldiers for raping Palestinian detainees: Poll

    Nazi Germany existed for 12 years and led to some of the most genocidal, bloodthirsty populations in history.

    "Israel's" very existence is built on the continued genocide of Palestinians, and this occupation has existed for 76 years. It makes sense then that its population is this bloodthirsty, having festered in a fascist state for this long.
