Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Uh huh.

And if, as a random example, Britain and France took their thumbs out of their asses and declared war over the demilitarization of the Rhineland?

Or the illegitimate annexation of Austria.

Or just told Hitler they would declare war over the Sudentenland

Or the liberal nations actually defended democracy and intervened against the fascists in Spain.

Or or or

Imperialism is a nation deliberately exerting influence on others, and it can be justified.

Like most everything, it just depends on circumstances.

They did intervene in Spain... to help the fascists. The US pressured Mexico to stop sending arms to Spanish anarchists, and Britain pressured France to stop sending arms to Spanish anarchists. Just liberals living up to their ideology, of course.
