Where being "anti imperialist" (scare quotes included) is a step away from fascism

      Also lol at putting Scott Morrison (Australia’s Prime minister) as a ‘brexiteer’ what does that even mean for an Australian?

      Assad is a wildcard, you can put him wherever you need a gap plugged

        yeah his two qualities are apparently "wants to have a lot of power" and "doesn't want to lose all his power" which is about as deep as this dipshit was capable of analyzing

    he is not wrong about that centrist= pro west, and anti-imperialist is its contrary, also how is obama a socdem, he is just a black macron, also how is chavismo the same as corbyn? this wheel is only like 30% right about the aligments

      Why are multiple people claiming that Obama is a socdem? Objectively he is not and he would never claim that label himself. Very strange

        idk shit about socdem but I'm not entirely convinced even they would put bankers and the people who caused the '08 crash to be then in charge of "fixing" the problem? That alone seems like it would disqualify him, but perhaps I'm wrong cause I truly don't know too much about socdems at all, really, never cared lol

          Convoluted market based solutions to healthcare instead of a cheaper and simpler single payer system would also be disqualifying.

      Obama can probably best be described as a third-way social democrat. I.e. in favor of introducing social programs driven through market reforms like the ACA. Macron is the one whose placed in a wrong spot on this as he's to the left of Merkel. Obama's support for Keynesian stimulus as opposed to austerity is also reflexive of this when compared to european policy back then.

      This said this chart is incredibly dumb lol.

        i thought macron would be more conservative that merkel because of his austerity cuts and heavy use of the state to crush dissent

        Ask Assad how he feels about Russian oil ompanies lmao. Both are doing what they can with what they have, but YPG /SDF is building a socialist society and not like dumping sarin on people.

          Syrian's oil production is state-owned. Russia does not have a stake in Syrian oil. If you knew anything about the region besides some Vice News propaganda you watched as a teen, you might actually comment on the relationship between Syrian & Chinese oil production.

          YPG & SDF work to secure oil for private US corporations.

          YPG /SDF is building a socialist society

          They are taking the Israeli kibbutz route to socialism: imperialism, but you tell the dumbest Anarchists on the planet its socialism.

          dumping sarin on people.

          Actual CIA propaganda.

              Oh no, there are actual Americans doing journalism. This is not the own you think it is.

              Just admit you’d lick the boots of a fascist if they say they hate the US.

              There are fascists that hate the US, and no, I don't support them. Assad is not a fascist.

              Equating the Grayzone with fascists won't bode well for you here. Most people respect their journalistic work. I'm guessing you'll need another account to spread State Department propaganda. Only made it two posts this time lmao

                Grayzone are hacks not fascists lmao. But Assad, while maybe not entirely a Fascist is certainly adjacent considering he is an capitalist authoritarian ruler whose main implement for staying in power is naked force. Lets not forget that the whole war started because his goons tortured a literal child to deaht. Or is that, a fact most westerners almost certainly don't know, CIA propaganda as well. Did CIA agents force those Air Force officers to burn him with cigarettes, brake his bones, mutilate his genitals off?

                  You mean the story that was on every news outlet for months in 2011? This is like saying, "most westerners don't know Saddam's treatment of Kurds" - it was the story that drove US public support for the occupation.

                  Grayzone are hacks not fascists lmao

                  When you cannot actually dispute their findings. Grayzone has embarrassed the State Department "Anarchism" for the past decade - from Syria, to Ukraine, to Hong Kong - by actually doing journalism.

                  Their findings on the OPCW proves that the organization did its job. Like in Iraq, they manufactured a fake weapons story to justify US war crimes in Middle Eastern nations with nationally-owned oil production.

                  Edit: Just realized your name is NED. Incredibly bit my dude. Top tier.

    The best part about the fascism thing is there's like 7 genuine fascists just to the left and they all get bullshit euphemisms. Like imagine being such a dipshit you think Assad is a fascist but Viktor Orban is not.

        The true centrist should be in the middle of the circle, forming a convenient bullseye to nuke this pointless act of masturbation
