      This is just an expansion on “violence is inherently bad” which as an anarchist I hope isn’t something you believe

        Violence is inherently harmful.

        Some people and institutions do deserve to be harmed. Those people and institutions are almost never who actually gets harmed in war. War sucks.

          do you know what’s harmful? capitalism. i’d suffer every pain for the world to achieve socialism. yes, you might not believe it, having a comfortable life in the global north, but there are people willing to be harmed to achieve liberation.

          So would you oppose a war of liberation, such as the Vietnamese fought against Japan, France and America?

            No, not really.

            But neither of the wars mentioned in this ‘infographic’ are wars of liberation.

              “The Palestinian struggle against the Israeli settler colonialists is not a war of liberation actually”

              You might possibly be the least intelligent person I’ve ever seen.

                  War is defined by the instigator.

                  Maybe, if you’re a simpleton who needs everything boiled down to a single slogan/view due to being incapable of perceiving and analysing the totality of the event.

                  The great patriotic war was a war of liberation despite the Nazis instigating.

                  The war of resistance against Japan was again a war of liberation despite the Japanese instigating.

                  The Korean war was again a war of liberation despite it being instigated by the US and it’s client state.

                  And so on.
