@xiaohongshu@hexbear.net’s comment the other day about the willingness of imperialist to act decisively with force where anti-imperialists are not has finally pushed me over the edge into a full Slava Russki pro-Special Military Operation guy
I said this all the way back when the SMO started, what Russia did when they took that decision in 2022 was truly historic in the best possible way. For the first time in a long time someone dared to actually strike back at the empire. This kind of bold, decisive action is exactly what needs to happen more from the anti-imperialist camp. Take the fight to the imperialists, put them on the back foot for a change - enough timidity and caution!
Even what happened in Syria was not because of any kind of brilliant military victory of the empire or its proxies, but simply a regime losing faith in themselves and choosing to roll over and give up. The empire’s only real power lies in its propaganda, its ability to convince you that it is all powerful and undefeatable, but in reality as Mao said, it is a paper tiger. Ukraine losing in spite of the collective efforts of all of NATO proves this. The Zionist failure on the ground against Hezbollah and Hamas proves this. Iran’s missiles punching through the Cope Dome like tissue paper proves this.
It is telling that they only dared launch an all out assault on Syria once it left itself defenseless. As long as Assad was still there they did not dare step foot in Syria. They can only bully the weak. They can only plot from the shadows, assassinations, sadistic torture, genocide of the defenseless and other cowardly terrorist actions. They cannot win in a stand up fight.
I’m honestly disappointed seeing some comrades here on Hexbear fall for the defeatism psyop. In a war you will sometimes lose some battles, that is just a fact. You have to be able to emotionally handle this and maintain a view of the bigger picture. You have to have some discipline about what you say and when. Otherwise you become just another tool of the imperialists demoralizing your own struggle.
I for one am optimistic because i know the trajectory of history is on our side. So steel yourself and don’t lose heart. Death to fascism! Glory to the revolution! Venceremos!
