I've never heard a leftist, much less an ML, use "critical support" to justify allying with fascists. Maybe you can enlighten me. Honestly, I swear to God I'm not being snarky now, I'd like to know. As for Hezbollah, they're still a liberation anti-colonial movement. I don't think many MLs actually support Assad, most seem to oppose Western fuckery with Syria. I guess if Berletic fighting in Gaza, I might "critically support" him.

The Hexbear news comm has a "no reactionary source" rule. I guess we can't all be the same, but reactionary sources are problematic in that 1) they send clinks and views to a fascist, and 2) when the fascists says something on the boundary, there's yet another pointless battle about the truth of said POV. I guess we shouldn't care what liberals think, but I imagine that posting a reactionary that shares our views on Ukraine makes non MLs think we've lost the plot.
