  • Honestly, does it even matter what genocide deniers or people who recognize the genocide say? There's been a lot of discourse, international criminal court investigations, news coverage, protests about Gaza, yet European and American bourgeois governments kept sending billions to Israel and I highly doubt it's due to lack of evidence or that they "didn't know".

    • Netanyahu is wanted for crimes against humanity, and yet he is meeting with high ranking officials or even nation leaders...

      we all are complicit.

      • I disagree that "we are all complicit", as it's the ruling bourgeois class that makes all of the decisions for funding/meetups and that's who should be blamed, while the working class is largely powerless with the only 'realistic' resistance towards this geopoliticing being protests, which essentially is nothing more than begging.

        That's the main point of my comment, and if there's anything we as workers are truly guilty of, it's failing to achieve workers liberation that would remove the need for a bourgeois government that helps maintain and strengthen a zionist state completely. Granted, it's not for the lack of trying - liberals have been really good at violently suppressing and exhausting class conscious thought.

    • To capitalism, you and me are nothing more than pigs that are kept for their value and slaughtered on the altar of profit whenever the chance arises. Capitalism doesn't care whether there's a genocide happening or not. People care. It is a socialist duty to oppose the mass killing of humans as it is happening today.

      Don't expect capitalists to solve your problems. Only people can bring about change.

      • Yeah, only the workers can bring about change, hopefully by liberating themselves. However, this only stands in theory.

        In reality, Capitalism is a system actively maintained and defended by the bourgeoisie (the ruling/owning class) with their own geopolitical and business interests. This maintenance also entails legitimization of itself (through electorialism), instilling its own values through education and the media which encourages passivity, and it's also crafted in such a way where regular people have very little power to influence things (limits to whom get to be our representatives in democracy by barriers of entry, who gets to actually make decisions), with the best that can be reasonably done without proper revolutionary organization being protests (in other words, begging). This powerlessness was the point of my comment.

        It also doesn't help that Capitalism/bourgeoisie benefits from armed conflicts like these, given how it propagates military industrial complex (profitable businesses), allows capitalists to get their grubby hands on war-torn regions when it comes to reconstruction/minerals post-war and allows to get rid of overproduction which Capitalism tends to produce over time. So, your remark that "Capitalism doesn't care if there's genocide or not" is kinda wrong, it actually thrives off of it which I'd assume makes it happy.

    • Is @commiunism@lemmy.dbzer0.com your alt?
