    that is for internal commies to connect and counter-hijack, from the outside (e.g. for us, as we are not in iran as evidenced by internet connection) our sympathy goal is lifting on sanctions, no? and placing them on pisrael. saying solidarity to anti-repressive characters of the protests, which are (as they currently exist) is just incomprehensible, their demands are not on us (aside from sanctions). and you know perfectly well what solidarity for protests is - someone will bomb them or sanction them even more, that’s the only thing the west does.

    i sure would like for solidarity to mean something else, but that’s not the political system of the world as it is. as for monetary support, there are better humanitarian (sudan/gaza/lebanon/congo)/political prisoners (britain/usa/germany)/communist (cuba/chiapas) causes to support than assisting iran commies (they very varied, their old commie party gone completely regime pilled in exile for example, and without knowledge on the ground you can either hit or finance local ned front)

    you know obvious evidence of communist/anarchist rage in protests is they are burning down rich people shit, it’s like first indicator, second being their relation to american empire. they manage to fail both checks, as a whole, leaving aside my suspicions of them preparing ground for entity attack.

    *well i would say, china as usual is fucking up their solidarity, for they have both interest and ability to help, but that’s neither here nor there.

      I meant our solidarity, i.e. mutual aid, monetary support, spreading their words, etc., from leftists, not the powers that be. I will never ever support more bombings or sanctions, and anyone who does oughta get 🧱🤯🔫👿 on the spot, doubly so for people such people who label themselves “leftists”, triply so for Westerners.

      Like we can absolutely critique the utility of solidarity within leftist thought, especially in absence of other actions, but I’m not quite ready to throw away the baby (solidarity as practiced by anarchists and communists) with the bathwater (solidarity as practiced by nations and liberals).

      Otherwise I think I’m with you here.
