Edit for those curious why I shared this: Today [email protected] was popping off with a lot of “No war but class war” memes and they were getting a lot of support from the people over there.

I tried to share this there as well only to find out that apparently I was banned over there last week and I still have a week left in my ban. (Never knew I was due to never being told I was banned?)

Only reason I even found out I was banned over there was due to checking the modlogs for lemmy.ml after I noticed my post was gaining no ground.

    The phrase “no war but class war” isnt saying “we should forsake the fight for civil rights until after we establish communism”. It’s saying that every war is, in fact, an aspect of the class war. When you are racist, bigoted, homophobic, sexist, anything like that, you’re fighting in the class war. You’re an agent provocateur on the side of the upper class, sowing chaos and division in the ranks of the working class. When you join the military, you might think you’re fighting in a traditional geopolitical war, but that type of war is just a tool that the upper class uses to buy resources with the blood of the working class. No war but class war acknowledges that the war for equality on any front is part of the class war.
