Sometimes, I see Trump suppprters talk about how liberals are also corrupt and genocidal. They talk about how liberals are hypocrites because they'll support people like Kamala Harris and Barack Obama—both of whom supported violence—yet criticise Donald Trump for it.

They fail to realise that the system is designed to treat politics like a team sport—and that this system must vanish. No one is free from these chains until we're all free.

Especially on Facebook, I'll see them criticise liberals for being performative in this way. The thing is, in this one regard, they are right. But they refuse to rise against this system, which, in turn, makes them equally as performative.

Edit: I'm Canadian, but since American politics heavily affect us, it's relevant to point it out.

I will not defend Stalin and I will not defend the CCP. Just because capitalism isn't good doesn't mean that we have to glaze imperialist states. Ask Ukraine and the Baltic states how good they had it during the USSR; my point being that pro-USSR sentiments are largely just pro-Russian propaganda.

China is doing some good nowadays, but it still definitely has corruption. There are still billionaires, polluted air, capitalistic factories—which have terrible working conditions and sell cheaply made carcinogenic products, they're building AI data centres—some of which will boil the water temperature, bans citizens from accessing a lot of websites, etc.

I even decided to join a solidarity website and it mentioned f**cking Kim Jong-Un as a leftist figure ffs 💀. Literally, ANY North Korean defector will tell you how bad the North Korean regime is. The site had no mention of actual decent examples like Peter Kropotkin, Nelson Mandela, Thomas Sankara, Martin Luther King Jr, or even Pierre-Joseph Proudhon.

Edit: did not know that Proudhon was a bigot. My bad; thanks immensely for telling me.

The green represents the need for ecological revolution, whilst the black is a nod to the original black anarchist flag. The blood red snowflake represents how the environment is dying from eco-fascism.

Edit: no, anarcho-communism is not the same thing as fascism. This is anarcho-communism for reference. Plus, this flag is made from the Canadian perspective of the melting permafrost and Arctic.

Edit: very important to mention that I am Canadian. The permafrost and Arctic are melting.

The green represents the need for an emphasis on ecological change, whilst the black is in reference to the black anarchist flag (here's some historical context).

The red 8-sided asterisk represents the urgency for communities to cooperate in ridding the planet of eco-fascism. I picked the 8-sided one to represent the worldwide need for change.

Edit: anarcho-communism is not a type of fascism. Y'all do realise that this is a leftist Lemmy instance, right?
