criticism comes second. if you express more disdain for the first socialist project than appreciation, you are nothing but a useful asset of socialism's adversaries. shortcomings or not, defending it against reactionary onslaught comes first, always.

If you never criticize the Soviet Union you have no brain. If you don’t miss the Soviet Union you have no heart.

"I dunno about the guys running up to steal tanks and dismantling them with their bare hands because they're not [insert any ideology] and I can't agree with this"
No on gives a fuck. Free Palestine.

You're missing the biggest two. Plato and Heidegger are essential to the logic and thought of Iran's revolutionaries.
Khomeini was a platonist. Jalal al-e Ahmad was a Heideggerian, Heidegger& the German Conservative Revolutionaries were an essential influence on Gharbzadegi the book as well as on Ali Shariati.

Waterbury is so so good! His book on the moroccan elite is incredible.

@LarryAlbertGil the canon "left" book on nasser is anouar abdel-malek's "Egypt, military society" and hussein's class conflict in egypt. They have their own issues (still worth reading). waterbury's "egypt of nasser and sadat" is good, also medani's "black markets and militants."

“All militaries are bad” and “there’s no such thing as an anti-imperialist military” is absurdly reductive analysis based on a childishly obstinate misunderstanding of power dynamics and material conditions. Grow up!

Allah is my witness. I was so hyped up when October 7 happened (and I actually saw the news the moment Hamas started the operation and followed it by seconds) that I couldn't sleep for 3 days out of adrenaline in my blood. Pure ecstasy.

This idea that Nelson Mandela never supported violent resistance must, at some point, be relentlessly rejected, I am tired of the sanitation of his legacy

It says a lot that “Palestinian Mandela” killed five people

@TheAliceSmith You might do well to actually read Adam Smith. And Marx rather than make a fool of yourself like this. Your garden hole was not a vendible commodity.

@menacing_apple @aotach0 He’s simply alluding to the genz212 uprisings of late 2025, these protests had nothing to do with “arab nationalism”
English
@aotach0 Then what "revolution" are you even talking about, if not the Arab nationalist one?

"These groups lacked an independent historical role in social progress and often became supporters of counter-revolutionary movements, resisting major political changes like the revolutions of 1848 in Europe."
خيمة العروبية@aotach0
The concept of Völkerabfälle comes from the 19th-century writings of Friedrich Engels and literally means “remnants” or “waste of peoples.” Engels used the term in 1849 to describe small nations or ethnic groups that he believed were historical leftovers of older populations that had been conquered or absorbed by stronger neighbors. In his view, these groups lacked an independent historical role in social progress and often became supporters of counter-revolutionary movements, resisting major political changes like the revolutions of 1848 in Europe. Examples he mentioned included groups such as the Gaels in Scotland, Bretons in France, and Basques in Spain.
