    There’s no point in criticizing any existing projects when there isn’t one at home. Only thing you can do is observe and take notes on how those projects handle issues that come up.

    Lots of people would rather just spend all day screaming about how everyone else is wrong than spend any time thinking about what actually needs to be done.

      Exactly, it’s the most important step for any western leftist or group to reach before they can start affecting positive change. Spending time complaining about how others are doing socialism “wrong” instead of spending your time building socialism at all only helps the capitalists.

      It’s not only that there’s no point, it’s actively harmful if they are attacking a nation that is being targeted by active US imperialist attacks. If they decide the moment to criticize Maduro or Venezuela is after he’s been abducted by imperialist invasion then kindly fuck off.

        The situation in Palestine is directly caused by the Hegemonic State that Westerners continue to allow to exist. If by having a position on Palestine, you mean criticizing the nuances of how Hamas and other Palestinian organizations carry themselves, then no. That is pointless.

        If by having position you mean criticizing the US and Israeli involvement in Palestinian affairs, then that’s fine.
