Couldn't have said it better myself, comrade. I am not really sure what goes through their heads, myself, as I cannot see why anyone would subscribe to such a utopia view of international revolution. They base it on a bad reading of Marx and Lenin, neither of whom said that you should wait around for one big simultaneous world revolution, in fact Lenin argued the opposite. He believe socialist states would lead to a world revolution and he is right. It is easier to direct resources and progression in one country rather than in all countries at the same time. Once enough socialist states are built, the world can then truly become truly international (though I'd say that the idea of a human monoculture - rather than multiculture - is a pipe-dream and would make for boring holidays!). The idea of one massive world revolution is just codswallop and if people think it is possible, they should pack in their revolution.
Hey again, yeah you're definitely right, it's pretty sad how so many leftists go into some tunnel-vision whenever an issue that demands an answer slightly more complicated than "this good, that bad" comes up. It's particularly sad because the same people railing against Kurdish sovereignty are the same people who admit that there is oppression on a national level that severely hurts workers on both sides. It almost begs the question of why these leftists even oppose imperialist activity...if it's just as reactionary one way or the other, why do they even care if the US drops an insane amount of bombs on Vietnam? In addition to your other points you are, of course, definitely right about how it goes back to this "worldwide without exception simultaneous working-class revolution" fantasy. The sooner we all admit that it's not some sin for workers to liberate themselves in one country and then use that as a way to support their sisters and brothers across the world, the better.
Thanks. I find it quite sad that many so called leftists would advocate for the Kurds to just sit around and waiting for an international (or at least Turkish) workers movement to just rise up to give them support. Ridiculous for a few reasons. Firstly, the Marxist groups in Turkey do support the idea of Kurdistan and are thus offering supporter. Secondly, forming a socialist state is easier than trying to get the whole world to rise up at the same time. Thirdly, Kurds suffer horrible brutalities and repressions, so it is best that they do not just sit around and wait for workers' revolutions elsewhere.
Hey comrade, thanks very much...I have to say your posts have been consistently excellent on Kurdistan and throughout the forum, it's been truly great reading them.
Keep up the good posting, comrade, especially in the thread relating to Kurdistan. You made better posts than I did.
You've pretty much won in the Belarus thread, the people debating with you keep throwing the same arguments at you! Thanks for your words about the N. Ireland thread.
Hey comrade, thanks! I've been enjoying your posts too...great stuff in the Ireland thread.
I agree with Proletarianrevolution, keep up the good work, comrade!
