I don’t want to hear about how your Wehrmacht soldiers are just following orders. Fuck the US Army and fuck the troops, too. Death to AmeriKKKa, death to “Israel”, death to the west.

    If they wanted to live, they shouldn’t have signed up to kill people for the empire. Instead of following orders, they can refuse them. Yankee nationalists cry about it in the comments.

      Guess at least it’s good to see there isn’t any difference between Americans and Russians after all.

        The difference is that Russia isn’t trying to control the entire world. Hence “the empire”.

        Edit: America is the primary source of suffering in the world, along with its allies. I don’t really care about Russia and bringing it up is a weak deflection.

          The only conflict that matters is the class conflict. Everything else is a distraction. Eat the rich.

            This is phrasemongering class reductionism. The principle contradiction in the world right now is imperialism, which the US Empire is at the head of.

              I’m not disagreeing with the opinion that imperialism is one of the biggest large-scale problems facing humanity, and that the US is the current worst offender.

              I’m just pointing out that at the root of imperialism are a few powerful people attempting to rule over the rest of us. Tech-feudalism in the digital world is another huge problem, as is the rise of fascism. And they all come from class warfare, at least in my humble opinion.

              But I am also not pretending to be as informed on history and current events as many other here, and I am no attempting to lecture anyone as if I know better. That would just be decisive and counterproductive.

                The roots of imperialism are in the monopoly stage of capitalism. It isn’t because a few bad individuals exist, it’s a material process.

            Great slogan unfortunately not how it works in the modern reality of imperialism and neocolonialism, the class struggle can only truly begin after the premier contradiction of national liberation has been resolved.
