      Anti-imperialism is opposing domination. Celebrating that 450 million people will suffer economic destruction is not opposing imperialism, it is just enjoying the suffering. Those are different things.

          Destroying an economy hurts workers and ordinary people first, not the ruling class. If your anti-imperialism requires 450 million people to suffer so the powerful lose power, that is just accelerationism with a nicer label.

            No, it isn’t. If the European economy runs on imperialism, then the European working classes have a duty to overthrow that imperialist system that they benefit from in order to stop leaching off the global south, and start planning the economy to suit the needs of the people.

              Lenins_Dumbbell wasn’t calling for European workers to overthrow anything though. They said they were glad Europe would suffer. That is not anti-imperialism, that is just enjoying other people’s misery.

                Sounds more like you’re downplaying the utter parasitism of the EU, when you are trying to make it about European suffering more than global south liberation.
