  • Your argument seems to be based mainly on anecdotal evidence, and ignorance of biology. Lets look at some facts instead, like world records in athletics. You can clearly see that women’s records are significantly lower than men’s records. Sure we can argue what the reasons for that are, but the fact remains. And so its no surprise that some third rate male athlete can compete at much higher levels against women, which is exactly the problem that this thread is discussing.

    I think it is really wrong to ban someone for a difference in opinion, especially as that opinion was well explained and based on facts.

    I think this mainly depends on how you define leftism, because that term is only used by Europeans and Anglos as far as I know. But we can talk about anti-imperialism, which makes things much clearer.

    The resistance movement against US imperialism in west Asia is fighting at the frontlines of anti-imperialism, and is strongly muslim (just like the general population). This includes Iran, Syria, Houthis (Yemen), Hamas (Palestine), Hezbollah (Iraq), Hezbollah (Lebanon).

    Venezuela is also anti-imperialist, and is strongly Christian, just like all of Latin America.






  • Sounds like you stopped reading before it got really interesting. Are you really suggesting that being against covid vaccination is an “invalid stance” somehow? I always thought that communists should fight against corporations and against the bourgeosie, not defend their money making schemes. I’m not saying vaccines are all bad, but its more than legitimate to criticise them.








  • I think its pretty telling that western politicians and media are already supporting the protestors, and painting the government (and Russia of course) as the bad guys. In that way it is very similar to the color revolutions in Hong Kong, Belarus, Ukraine etc.

    When there are actual protests (like yellow vets in France, or protests in Chile), the media is either quiet about it, or describes the protests as unjustified.

    But its definitely early to talk about this, things will get clearer over time.
