Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
If you have any doubt Charlie Kirk was the most vile piece of shit: Netanyahu, a genocidal war criminal and foreign leader who shouldn't give a fraction of a shit about a US conservative pundit, can't stop talking about him.
And of course, the other vile pieces of shit Trump, Vance and the entire nauseating MAGA world are all atwitter about Kirk.
The global Nazisphere is really fired up about this stupid kid's murder.
The Bibi doth protest too much, methinks.
Ah yes, a dogmatic conservative religion and the progressive critics of capitalist economic theories; a natural union and group of people that definitely exists...
To be fair, the origins of labor value and other socialist theories are usually traced back to Islamic scholar Ibn Khaldun.
But Netanyahu simply uses words conservatives do not like
Islam is not at all progressive on gender stuff, but otherwise this blend of politics is surprisingly coherent.
Believers! Many of the rabbis and monks wrongfully devour mankind's possessions and hinder people from the Way of Allah.33 And there are those who amass gold and silver and do not spend it in the Way of Allah. Announce to them the tidings of a painful chastisement
-Quran 9:34
Yeah so is the new testament of the bible but...
There are also Biblical connections to socialism such as Engels who wanted to implement Christian values without the religious aspect.
Abrahamic religions are all pretty economically left. The major difference is social stuff and also many first-world Christians have turned from loving thy neighbour to Spanish inquisition
I mean Christian socialism is a thing so yeah that too I guess. Not that what Netanyahu is saying makes any sense, but technically Islamist-Marxist alliances do exist and have existed throughout history.
The more recent fundamentalism is a reaction due to western imperialism and neocolonialism, if I recall correctly
Is Bibi in the files?
The de facto leader of the democratic party is giving them marching orders.
Anything to throw them off his genocidal stench
hey bibi. you've reinvented the term "judeobolshevism" you antisemitic nazi fuck
Arm up, lovelies. They have their martyr, motive be damned.
Way, way ahead of you. The writing was on the wall with Trump 1.0.
