International military
I am above average on foreign policy
I am generally Anti War for the reasons that Mark Twain was anti war (Lockean love of liberty and anti government with touches of a Zell Miller antiwar’ streak in me). We need end the practice of endless wars . The only war ideally should be class war
If I sound more ‘pro war’ than other Leftists, just remember that Peter Kropotkin supported war against Germany . My reasons for being more pro war than you would want is for the same reasons that Kropotkin was pro war
The US National Security State needs watchdogs and critics. However, all too often, the some of the people who decide to take that task upon themselves like Glenn Greenwald, Max Blumenthal, Julian Asange etc decide that if the US National Security State does some bad things (which they do), then they follows that line of thinking with in their eyes Vladimir Putin must be a ‘stand-up good guy’ because he rightfully opposes it. I try not to fall into that trap
So, I try to be such a US National Security State watchdog and critic , I am more like Robert Wright and less like Glenn Greenwald, Max Blumenthal, Julian Asange etc.
I want our military to eventually be abolished along with the state and police state because militaries are naturally hierarchical. Any anarchist defense would rely on the broad participation of the people in resistance. In an stateless society , volunteer militia would spring up spontaneously when the society are attacked in order to defend themselves.
In a stateless society, the very concept of "the" military, as a static structure that exists regardless of circumstances, would be replaced by something that is much more fluid.
This would be to align with non-coercive, egalitarian consensus, instead of the usual meaning of "all against all"--were the organizing principle of global society, then warfare itself would be a thing of the past.
In a stateless society, in a village, commune, either there is no military or everyone is the military. Because everyone would have a stake in the community's continued viability, everyone who is able would want to participate in the community’s defense in whatever way each is able, when defensive action is necessary. However, there wouldn't necessarily be a "standing army"
I sort of believe that in a stateless hierarchyless society there might still be a need for generals and leaders like in the 1930s Manchuria and Korea
Donald Trump NEVER called our dead fallen imperialist warmongers brave military heroes ‘losers’ or ‘suckers’ (see here). That Atlantic hit piece which said he did say that stuff is nothing more than a Liberal 2,0 hit propaganda and lies meant to ruin Trump’s image even more. Even if Trump said that, so what? When children like Trump say dumb things ignore them and they won’t say dumb things anymore
I am Anti Imperialist (including Anti Western Imperialism). To quote Rosa L “Imperialism is the political expression of the accumulation of capital in its competitive struggle for what remains still open of the non-capitalist environment". Libertarianism is partly why I am Anti Imperialism. Imperialism is high stage Capitalism
This blog post from another blog has some good points about American Thought imperialism through social media
Fred Hampton predicted that if the poc liberation struggle didn’t take up Marxism, the result would be imperialism and he was right
I especially oppose wars that impose western values on non western countries
I am a non interventionist. I am tired of the US and its allies playing moral cop to other countries.Who are the US and its allies to play moral cop and tell other countries how to act? We need to move away from free markets and interventionist foreign policy.
The US being like that stigmatizes those other countries they warmonger and imperialize in by propping up the US to look better than they are and making those countries look worse than they are
The US needs to focus on the US and preserving our values
Our tax money should not be spent on American intervention saviorism or wars, that money should be spent to make our country better domestically . Let the EU and other countries do what they do.
They are more than capable. Not every international incident should revolve around the US. America needs to help America the most. It is the United States of America not United States of Earth
I admit part of my unconsciousness views at least a few US interventions in other countries being something that is in between being 1980s Anti Villianish (which is similar to Anti Heroish) and being a silver lining in showing that the US isn't afraid to do anti politically correct things like intervening in the affairs of other countries even though said acts are still wrong and warmongering. I am ok with satirical American exceptionalism
Even though I am a non interventionist, I can between endure and go along with (holding my nose) some Left Interventionism or even Left Neoconservatism (like Vaush Neoconservatism) with a touch of Woodrow Wilson doctrine when there is a need for the completion of unity and both for the palingenesis of the political system (similar to 4pt) and the organization of the economic, legal and social system, for a profound change
OR
if there is an extremely obvious threat to other countries and Left Neoconservatives would support Left Neocon intervention (or ESPECIALLY when doing so would be supported by the Greyzone and non interventionalists on the far left and anti war Right)
This means I can between endure and go along with (holding my nose) for the US protecting Democracy in other countries and standing up to tyrants in other countries when I perceive an obvious threat to those other countries.
My rationalization is that is how the US was created and what it was founded on (people in the British ruled 13 colonies standing up to the British tyrants and fighting for the creation of our Democracy known as the US)
This way the US can promote self determination to other countries and non Liberal 2.0 democracy instead of Liberal 2.0ism
We really shouldn’t be bothered to oppose war and imperialism until all women are free
I retroactively support the unilateralism that the US had in the 19th century
I believe Isolationism has its uses and is better than Imperialism, warmongering, unilateralism, Globalism , Globalization, Transnational Progressiveness etc.
Though I also believe that the US should make alliances with other countries to protect the US and our citizens. I am much closer to supporting Isolationism than I am of supporting the opposite of Isolationism
I support policies in pursuance of which Americans will with resolution and common sense insist upon our rights being respected by foreign powers
So maybe based on above I have a slight strategic autonomy streak in me
I support third world anti colonial movements from the last century and beyond and their fights for independence
I support National Liberation movements
I want the US to make all of their territories independent
I am against American Universalism
I am Anti Globalization. I am anti-authoritarian and Globalization is authoritarian . Globalization is wrong in part due to greedy, monopolizing corporations like Nike, Walmart, Disney, Dominio’s, McDonald’s, Dairy Queen, Target, etc operating in so many countries, which then Westernizes or Americanizes said countries which is basically cultural imperialism.
Globalization is wrong because it spreads neoliberal capitalism
The rise of the bourgeoisie has led to globalization. To quote Karl Marx from the Communist Manifesto "In place of the old wants, satisfied by the production of the country, we find new wants, requiring for their satisfaction the products of distant lands and climes. In place of the old local and national seclusion and self-sufficiency, we have intercourse in every direction, universal inter-dependence of nations. Just as it has made the country dependent on the towns, so it has made barbarian and semi-barbarian countries dependent on the civilised ones, nations of peasants on nations of bourgeois, the East on the West.... Though not in substance, yet in form, the struggle of the proletariat with the bourgeoisie is at first a national struggle. The proletariat of each country must, of course, first of all settle matters with its own bourgeoisie."
I am Anti Globalism (partly because it doesn’t stay in its lane, and for some of the reasons that many unions in the US are Anti Globalism)
I am against colonialism
I am a Post Colonialist Anarchist. I support a Post Colonial world
I am Anti NATO. NATO should be abolished . I support this Anarchist alternative to NATO just like Adam Something supports NATO
NATO is bad because they are Neoliberal, they exist primarily to uphold class society (I want us to abolish classes), and they use imperialism (especially western imperialism) to try to force NATO values onto other countries which is wrong. NATO is also horrible for it justifing war for its own self interests in the name of ‘human rights’.
NATO is headed by the US who invade and topple countries for their own economic gain which is wrong
NATO is further wrong for colonizing its member states by tying them into US military .More insight on the negatives of NATO can be found here
I was and am still against the Patriot Act
I am against Military drafts
If people can't compete on the front lines, they should learn to get tougher to overcome it, not have the standards lowered for them.
I supported former President Ronald Reagan’s military spending as a kid before I came to my senses
I support the Peace Tax Fund – H.R. 1947. Religious freedom means freedom from senseless wars and violence
I support the Post 9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act
I value peace among the various countries on Earth.
I am against this Neocon warmonger trying to get the US involved in more endless and senseless conflicts and wars. We need to abolish the state and by extension the military once and for all to free us from US warmongering
I am against the Open Skies Treaty
I support America’s sovereignty
I give my blessing to some Democratic guerilla like factions from our planet throughout history but I have major issues with the ham-fisted strategy of some urban guerrillas. I feel that urban guerilla methods are patriarchal pretensions
I am against domestic drones
I am against wireless surveillance.
I believe we should defund the NSA. But only after we get the NSA to break up the Proud Boys forever and to put all of those Proud Boy goons in prison where they belong. The NSA are our best weapon to destroy the Proud Boys once and for all.
This can be done by the NSA using non stop wireless surveillance on the Proud Boys to catch them in the act, expose them and thus aggressively dismantle the Proud Boys forever
The Proud Boys are dangerous because, unlike other right wing extremists, the Proud Boys are covertly and snarkily racist and antisemetic, and if they are not fully dismantled even more bigoted groups than them will pick up that type of covert and snarky racism and antisemetism which will then make it harder to prevent normalizing that racist and antisemetic garbage. The longer the Proud Boys are around the more our country goes to hell
The Proud Boys are goons who are anti drug for the WRONG reasons (Liberal 2.0 reasons instead of for Left Libertarian reasons) and the NSA needs to take them down.
I am against FISA. At worst there needs to be s reform of FISA to force the government to stop spying on Americans. These BLATANT violations of our civil liberties should NOT happen again. The postal service should be abolished due to that FASCISM of trampling on our rights
I am a Partisan Anti Fascist
