Dick Cheney endorsed Kamala Harris I think

Sorta like comparing basement nazis to burning villages nazis though. They're both vile it is a question of effectiveness.

Tell that to the 300,000 dead Palestinian civilians

It is more like saying the axis is known to invade nations because its member states invade nations. Okay, sure, Germany and Italy invaded the soviet union but Japan didn't, you can't say they're not a defensive alliance /s

Unironically yes, NATO members have invaded a lot of places, often in coalition with other member states.

Except a lot of anarchist theory rejects scientific socialism as a methodology. Is there any mainstream anarchism that is rooted in dialectical materialism?

People generally need some validation but I think you're making an inaccurate generalization

You can't educate your way out of the logic of capitalism. These folks are optimizing return on investment, not human utility. The system is working as intended, why would they change it?

Secondly, it’s called an analogy used for the purpose of discussion.

It is an inaccurate analogy that serves to justify war.

And since when is advocating for self-defense “pro war”?

It isn't self defense when you've been bombarding civilians and using nazi paramilitaries in the oblasts the Russians want to occupy for years before the war started.

And since when is advocating for self-defense “pro war”? By your logic anything other than absolute pacifism is “pro war”. Is there no scenario in your mind where the use of force may be necessary?

Well, let me say it like this. You're argument is based on the ideal of self defense, and not the actual historical conditions or the outcomes of that war continuing to be prosecuted. What good is an ideal to a dead conscript or civilian? If you want to go around justifying war use less obviously disingenuous rhetoric.

I dont think that's an accurate portrayal of history, also this just proves that communist states can peacefully transition not capitalist ones if we take what you said as given
