    The current online usage is exclusively done by DSA SocDems.

    There’s a battle between US imperialism and opposing forces and the US is taking a massive W in both Venezuela and Cuba because Leftists international solidarity is apparently “idealism” these days. Even in Palestine both China And Russia have

    Only Iran is stepping up to the plate.

    I guess asking for anything more than Zohran Mamdani DSA members but real international solidarity is too idealistic now.

      Maybe in the bubble you live in that’s the case. This is very much standard usage by Marxists to criticize idealists who consistently fail to do actual material analysis of the world.

      The only reason Iran is able to step up to the plate is because of material support from Russia and China. I guess actually being able to understand how things are interconnected is too much to ask here.

        Iran is able to step up to the plate because they have the balls and international solidarity with Palestinians to do.

          If you genuinely don’t understand that Iran is only able to step up because of support from Russia and China, what else is there to say really.
