I don’t get it
Oh yes, the left has never protested against the crimes of the USA and that also justifies anything a horrible dictatorship does. I reflect on it while I see the protests of the left in the third world against the horrible and anti-American dictatorships

Very funny when they come on to justify the exact behaviour we make fun of them for, but their defence of their behaviour is to just…state it? There’s no argument here, just “Nu-uh! This is right and good behaviour actually!”
You’re the guy on the left side of the meme.
Oh yes, the left has never protested against the crimes of the USA
You know, you’re right. A better version of this meme would be the first world leftists complaining about U.S. imperialism when it happens… then still lining up right behind the State Department when anyone fights back.
The pure (libertarian) socialists’ ideological anticipations remain untainted by existing practice. They do not explain how the manifold functions of a revolutionary society would be organized, how external attack and internal sabotage would be thwarted, how bureaucracy would be avoided, scarce resources allocated, policy differences settled, priorities set, and production and distribution conducted. Instead, they offer vague statements about how the workers themselves will directly own and control the means of production and will arrive at their own solutions through creative struggle. No surprise then that the pure socialists support every revolution except the ones that succeed.
Complaining while it happens? More like, hand-wringing 5-10 years afterwards about how it was a “regrettable necessity”
did your post manage to quiet the little voice in your head that whispers about how capitalism is turning the planet into a charcoal briquette?
And what do those protests aim to replace the “terrible dictatorship” with? Yeah, a pro American actual dictatorship.
Oh, and one more thing: dictatorships aren’t made by individuals, they’re lead by classes, the “dictator” is merely the one who carries out the interests of said class. Therefore, Fascism is the most extreme form of capitalism, the naked dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, just like socialism is the dictatorship of the proletariat.
