If we nuke the entire region they all get their 70 virgins and we can build a mega-Disneyland in like 50 years. Win/Win.

Thanks for all the support thus far on this position. If any of you are high-profile posters on other SA forums, I welcome you to start similar awareness threads in places like GWS, PI, AI and so on regarding ISIS.

*Puts the word Islam in their name* *Does things in the name of their god* But the left refuses to call them religious radicals. Amazing mental gymnastics.

I want to thank OP for pointing this out. Up until now I feared I was the only one who despised terrorist shitlords. Thank you for revealing that there is social support, and a safe space where I can reveal these feelings.

While this isn't a big thread, the lack of mod input/support on my statement that ISIS are bad guys is a little strange. Maybe they just aren't online on Sundays?

They're still just trying to work out their frustration over the Crusades. Just let them get it out of their system and they'll be cool.

And to be fair the US soldiers killed that 11-year-old's parents before raping her, then shot her in the head too so she wouldn't have to live with the trauma.

I hate ISIS but even so I'm honestly taken aback at how much they seem like "Al-Queda gone through the marketing wringer" since they're such picture-perfect bad guys for the Western Media Machine that validate all fears about Islamic Terrorism.

Nelson Mandingo posted:Well y'see America is worse than ISIL because, Since then, Iraqi government forces and Kurdish pesh merga in Iraq are again conducting joint military operations with the U.S., as they did for years under the occupation. More recently, Syrian Kurdish nationalists have also sealed a treacherous alliance with the U.S. in the battle over Kobani in northern Syria, acting as the imperialists’ bomb spotters and otherwise coordinating military movements. The fact that all these forces are “boots on the ground” for imperialist intervention means that revolutionary Marxists have a military side with ISIS when it targets the imperialists and their proxies, including the Syrian Kurdish nationalists, the pesh merga, the Baghdad government and its Shi’ite militias. It goes without saying that we internationalist communists are die-hard enemies of the ultra-reactionary social and political program of ISIS, whose methods of rooting out “apostates” amount to mass slaughter. We condemn communal atrocities on all sides. ISIS is itself the imperialists’ creation, having emerged out of the intercommunal slaughter triggered by the U.S. occupation. It counts as precursors those who cut their teeth as jihadis in the CIA-backed war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 1980s. Washington could very well switch to supporting ISIS under certain conditions—for example, against the Assad regime in Syria, which is decidedly not a part of the U.S. military alliance despite its best efforts. But ISIS today is in battle against the local tools of U.S. imperialism, the main enemy of the world’s working people. A setback for the U.S. in Syria might give pause to Washington in its military adventures, including by encouraging opposition at home. Such opposition adds to the tinder that must be ignited in class struggle against the capitalist rulers who, in their quest for ever greater profits, beat down the workers, black people and immigrants.

Gazpacho posted:After the initial airstrikes by the U.S. in northern Iraq, we declared: “Any force, however unsavory, that attacks, repels or otherwise impedes U.S. forces strikes a blow in the interests of the exploited and the oppressed.” However, in the reactionary, mainly Sunni-Shi’ite communal conflicts in Iraq and Syria, the world’s toilers had no side. It seems weird that marxists would support ISIS, since supporting bad guys is dumb, but marxists are smart. At least that's what I had been led to believe.
