Gaddafi was a leader in the liberation struggle against the Global North’s imperialism.

It was Gaddafi who was sodomized with a bayonet. Wikipedia: Killing of Muammar Gaddafi

The NTC initially claimed Gaddafi died from injuries sustained in a firefight when loyalist forces attempted to free him, although a video of his last moments shows rebel fighters beating him and one of them sodomizing him with a bayonet before he was shot several times.

In typical US fashion, it fabricated atrocities as a pretext for regime change: 2011 Libyan rape allegations

https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/82ed5e68-fa48-446b-b38d-ef9282216a83.jpeg

Three women, loads of lies and the destruction of Libya

Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice and Samantha Power were the three principal advocates of war against Libya in 2011, setting the North African nation on a free fall ever since. Demonstrations broke out in some Libyan cities against the government of late Muammar Gaddafi in February 2011, in what became known as the “Arab Spring” that engulfed the region. However, Libya’s promised spring turned into a destructive autumn during which Gaddafi was murdered on 20 October, 2011, and Libya was left anguishing in lawlessness, courtesy of the three women.

He made it better for Arabs, everyone else was treated horribly.

Who was everyone else?

But hey I guess being a dictator

Libya in Gaddafi’s time was more democratic than the United States has ever been. Libya: How To Kill a Nation

When Five Eyes governments and corporate media tell you that someone’s a “dictator,” they do it to manufacture consent for regime change.

Russia has no right to carry out a genocide—any more than Ukraine had the right to carry one out on people of the Donbas for almost a decade—but then again Russia isn’t carrying out one, despite what Five Eyes governments & corporate media insist.

I will concede that there are a few fascist elements in Russia, but they aren’t in power, and one of their most well-known figures (to Westerners at least) recently died.

.
Neither Navanly nor the Azov Battalion are aberrations: the US has been maintaining fascist cells in Europe our whole lives, as a backstop against Europe ever gaining a real independence from the US, or worse, becoming socialist.

The U.S. Did Not Defeat Fascism in WWII, It Discretely Internationalized It

Edit to add:

In particular, the US doesn’t want Europe and Russia to develop closer ties, because it doesn’t want the “Eurasian landmass” to ever cohere, because it would become too self-sufficient and powerful for the US to control. Zbigniew Brzezinski laid this theory out when the Soviet Union fell. That’s why the US tried to convince Europe not to build Nord Stream 2 and then later not to turn it on, why Biden said he would “bring an end to it” if Russia invaded, and why they ultimately did bring an end to it.

The US also very much wants regime change or balkanization in Russia so it can resume its neocolonial plundering of it, which started under Yeltson and ended under Putin.

At the same time, cheaper Chinese exports will intensify complaints among western manufacturers about unfair competition.

Sucks to suck 🤷 Maybe try central planning, state banking, and state-controlled means of production, thus lowering the cost of manufacturing. Maybe don’t let the Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate (FIRE) sectors strip the copper out of the walls (PDF).

“China spent 20 years destroying emerging-market competitors in the manufacturing space, or at least squeezing them out of global markets. Now it’s threatening to do the same to advanced economies’ manufacturers,” added Robertson.

Nobody put a gun to Global North capitalists’ heads and made them offshore their manufacturing and de-industrialize their own countries.

Firstly, you lumped https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Anti-imperialism—and until recently imperialized—Russia and China in with the https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Imperialism USA. The Chinese went through a century of humiliation under British colonialism, and the Russian people went through a cold war followed by neocolonial “shock therapy” from the US.

Secondly, the UN is incapable of doing any such thing, and the countries don’t need or want its patronizing. Your Western chauvinism is showing when you think these are backwards people who need to be administered by others. What they need is for the Global North imperialist states to stop pillaging them.

Thirdly, calling one of your own instance’s admins a fucking knob is a bold move.

I think CableMonster might be in the neoclassical economics camp, which insists that “inflation” is definitionally “money creation,” that they’re essentially synonyms. They refuse to entertain any other possible explanations for a rise in prices, and that’s why price gouging can’t be a component of inflation and therefore must be a boogeyman.

The History of Fascism in Ukraine Part I

With the war in Ukraine raging, it is time to trace the history of fascism in Ukraine. Once believed to be an anachronistic Cold War relic, the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists) has emerged as the most successful post-war fascist group. Politicians around the globe shout its fascist slogan “Slava Ukraini”, a phrase that originated with the League of Ukrainian Fascists, was adopted by the OUN and popularized by Stepan Bandera while he and the OUN were on trial for the assassination campaign the OUN were waging in Poland.

It was at the Warsaw trial that the OUN first started using the slogan “Slava Ukraini” publicly in combination with the Roman (Nazi) salute.

Jews were forced to sing communist songs before being shot or they were forced to shout Slava Ukraini before being beaten to death.

I already gave the last 10 years’ evidence upthread: lemmy.ml/comment/9989886

Also, 100 years old my ass:

After the Orange revolution of 2004 Stepan Bandera was declared a “Hero of Ukraine”. Even a postage stamp was issued commemorating him. During the 2014 Maidan coup, a huge poster of Stepan Bandera hung on the stage. Few in the west had ever heard of Stepan Bandera or the OUN back in 2014. Now in 2022 the world is on the brink of nuclear war and the global economy is collapsing all because CIA and other western intelligence agencies have been using Ukrainian fascists as proxies for nearly 80 years. In Parts 3 and 4, I intend to trace the history of the OUN and its ideological heirs through the Cold War and post-Cold War eras up to the Maidan coup and the Ukrainian civil war.

Do you have any articles discussing fascism in Russia?

Fascists like like Alexei Navalny, you mean?

.
Or like Aleksandr Dugin, who some Lemmitor falsely called Putin’s “right-hand man” this week?

Or America? Or the EU?

The best summary of that I think is: The U.S. Did Not Defeat Fascism in WWII, It Discretely Internationalized It

How do you feel about Volodymyr Zelenskyy? Is he an anti-Semite fascist too?

Is this one of those “Zelenskyy is Jewish so Ukraine can’t have a Nazi problem” arguments? That’s like saying Obama is black so America can’t have a racism problem. Anyway, there were Jewish Nazis in Nazi Germany, including high ranking officers.

I’d love to hear your opinion on Putin.

I can’t compress the last ~25 years of Russian leadership into an “opinion,” so pass.

davel ,
@davel@lemmy.ml avatar

Despite that, Ukraine elected Zelensky, a Russian speaking president who spoke both Ukrainian and Russian during his inaugural speech as symbolism that it was time for their country to reconcile itself with its minorities.

Yes, that was Zelensky’s sales pitch, and it got him into office, and probably it was even what he wanted, but his presidency didn’t play out that way, because fascist elements in the country, in the military/paramilitary, and in government didn’t allow it to play out that way. The guy was a comedian, an actor who played president on a TV show. He got into office with no political experience and got steamrolled. It’s extremely unfortunate for everyone in the world but the fascist elements in Ukraine.

en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Liberalism

Liberalism is an idealist ideology that promotes free market principles, individualism, and fundamental rights (also known as bourgeois privileges). Liberalism emerged as the ideological component of capitalism, and gained administrative power as a result of the bourgeois revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries in North America and Europe. Liberalism, the philosophy behind the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, has consistently changed over the centuries, as a result of advancement in the productive forces and the development of the feudal serfdom into the industrial proletariat, and has now turned into neoliberalism, as a result of the consolidation of capital into the hands of the few, and to protect the ruling class from socialism, which is currently in the process of replacing capitalism as the primary mode of production.
