I got my answer, thank you very much.
Naturally? God forbid a country considers the welfare of its workers.
The rule of law isn’t an exclusively Western concept. But since you’re speaking so confidently you must be an expert in the Chinese legal system.
This is tantamount to victim blaming and only serves (regardless of intentionss) to justify settler colonialism. Anticolonial resistance is what has been keeping the south of Lebanon safe from occupation, unlike the Syrian Golan Heights. I recommend you read about Israel’s puppet state in southern Lebanon back in the eighties.
Not even that. They evacuated their posts a week before the Israeli invasion and left the villagers to defend themselves on their own.
Most of the Arab peninsula was inhabited by nomadic tribes that continuously moved with their cattle and tents, with the exception of a few scattered cities that thrived on trade and light agriculture (dates).

TIL that containing a zionist infestation is a petty war.
Question, even if what you’re saying was true, what does it serve in the context of discussing the US military intervention in a sovereign country? Besides legitimating the US and its actions, that is.
What you’re saying is different from what they implied. They instead want to shift the narrative to other countries, because should I speak of a “good thing” of another country, they would instantly retort about it and thus lead the original discussion astray, that is, that the United States is an imperialist war machine that serves the interests of its upper class. You don’t need comparison to evaluate US war crimes and crimes against humanity, unless you want to delve into whataboutism.
What IS an example of something good?
The US not intervening militarily politically and economically in other countries.
I understand that you’re trying to push the goal posts, so I am disengaging.
Why should you bring up other countries when we’re discussing the US? Especially when the US is not like any other country but the center of global imperialism?
USAID had always been a soft power tool to further US imperialist interests.
As a global south citizen, we never received any “good things” from the USA. Only war and destruction, a century before Trump.
Ah, unsurprisingly.
Unfortunately when people criticize socialist countries for the lack of “free speech,” even if with good intentions, they are usually parroting the talking points of Western, bourgeois media and only serves as to justify imperialist intervention against them.
These criticisms however derive from an ignorance of the way politics work in such countries whose only perception comes from behind the iron curtain and only through the lens of fascist and capitalist media.
In historically socialist countries, democracy had always been principally practiced on the local and communal stages, where individuals had the most capacity to take decisions regarding their daily lives and the situation of their neighbourhood, locality or commune. I highly recommend reading on this topic:
She deserves it as much as Kissinger and Shimon Peres deserve it.
Communism has always been the ideal. However, we have to take into account that we do not live in a bubble insulated from everyone else. We are facing the real, global and continuous threat of imperialist invasion by the capitalist forces. See Cuba and Venezuela, for instance.
It’s really hard to not be an ultra-militaristic society when the CIA and the enemies of the proletariat are always lurking in the shadows and looking for any miniscule gap to breach socialist countries from within. Regardless, we need to diffuse a proletarian, anti-bourgeois culture among the masses in order to inhibit the possibilities of foreign intervention.
Don’t love your job, job your love.
