oppose the US and al-Qaeda equally the same way one would oppose both the US & Germany during WWI.

it's two reactionary forces fighting each other.

been doing a lot of soul searching lately and i realized that maybe osama bin laden was not that great a guy. what is it with white upper middle class first worlders supporting some cia backed reactionary movement which opposes everything marxism-leninism claims to stand for? doesn't that at least make u think?



well it's not like al qaeda is going to impose its policies on america. so it's acclerationism. it doesn't matter what the intent of the guys flying planes into the wtc is, it's the result. i don't think anyone gives a shit about what al qaeda actually believes

tbh i think the upper middle class white first world perspective on it is akin to snickering because someone has a spot of red wine on their $8,000 evening dress. how embarrassing! oh those brown gentlemen aren't immediately laying down for you to rape them. ahaha how embarrassing.

isn't the karzai "government" a bunch of neo-feudal warlord-run statelets cobbled together by the US occupation?

i find that an obtuse position. how is blowing up the wtc even accelerationist, it wiped out the stock market and set back capital accumulation? i mean destroying financial capital might be a justification but that's a weird tangent to go on, the political impact of 9/11 was way greater than its economic one.



i don't think it's a tenable position, i just think it's the lazy rationalization that people tell themselves. i think you're right about the "fuck you dad" thing. it's suburban schaedenfreude

which incidentally is the name of red hot chili pepper's next album

but i can't just oppose them equally. i mean shits happening in afghanistan and women are getting acid raped. were the afghan socialists who want the us to withdraw actually living in afghanistan as women under the taliban? i don't think so. at the very least even if violence isn't an appropriate response to the taliban, the american backed karzai government seems slightly less bad than the islamists.



how much do you actually know about afghanistan lol. Lol. LOl

Look man, you wouldn't have the Taliban, without US imperialism. it was likely cynically used as a proxy in the civil war in the 90s, had some weird meetings with gas companies right before the invasion, and only is now so strong because of the US-backed war and its narco regime. if you (somehow) remove US occupation from the equation, sweeping the carpet from under Karzai, things would change drastically.
#22
the karzai government is only nominal and the rest of the country is held together by warlord fiefdoms whose allegiance to the state is held together by bribes from the us military and drones murdering babies in pakistan.

but the islamists got pissed off and rebelled in 1979 when the soviets were teaching afghan women how to read. it isn't all anti us, it's anti not being ultraorthodox muslim.

not necessarily. not unless someone shoots the saudis who are giving them money, or on the off chance everyone stops buying saudi oil so they don't have any funds.



what do the saudis have to do with the Taliban.

but that's pretty much how the taliban ran things, just with added religious insanity.



this is not a materialist analysis
