#Antimilitarism in not #pacifism. Altough there are overlapping motivations, they are different, where pacifism bears a deep moral component and anti-militarism has stronger analytic and strategic leanings.

Anti-militarism focussus more on the societal and structural effects of how the military is organised and what function it plays for the interests of the bourgeois class, the enforcement outwards for the state and internally in disciplining the #workingclass. This can also be the case for pacifism.

Anti-militarism however is not the rejection of the understanding that in the case of social revolution, the bourgeoisie will mobilize against the revolution and the need for (armed) #selfdefense against this. I will post more on this in the near future. As these questions are very important and need to seriously updated to a 21st century theory.

The wars in #Ukraine, #Sudan, #Palestine, #Syria, #Kurdistan, #Lebanon, #Venezuela, #Cuba and many other places, and the rise of militarism across the whole western hemisphere, has shown us that it is very important to understand these dynamic, understand our own need for security, and the need to be able to put something in opposition to the #militarism and #imperialism of the state and bourgeoisie, in order to prevent us from being dragged in their wars, become footsoldiers in defense of other regimes which we don't support either, or stand on the side as bystanders, instead of developing a truly revolutionary alternative that is able to navigate its own course.

The only thing the #US and #Israel are proofing to #Iran is that only acquiring nuclear weapons can bring long lasting security to their interests. They irreliable way of having negotiations and breaking them, the const at new escalations etc. Are proof the US is preying on every state that doesn't submit to their hegemony.

That said, no to imperialist wars, no to fundamentalists regimes. In the end the we, people are paying for these war with our lives, our blood, our livelihoods. The money of every bomb dropped could have been invested in the future of our children. Everything a bomb is dropped, it indiscriminately destroys the future of people just like us.

@thelma Welcome! A doctoral researcher in sociology here. I study #antimilitarism in fact! I am also fond of philosophy of science, especially #ontology and sometimes I post about that too. Great to have you here!

#introduction

Hi Mastodon,

I'm a PhD candidate in #philosophy at the #UniversityOfHelsinki , focusing on #metaphysics, #ontology, #processphilosophy and philosophy of #biology. I also study #theology , in which I'm most interested in philosophy of religion, #processtheology , the relationship between science and religion, and the role of #religion in matters of conflict and #peace.

I'm looking forward to share things & have conversations about #research in my fields, but also about
- #books (I read #nonfiction #scifi and #specfic the most)
- #antimilitarism , #nuclearban , #nucleardisarmament
- #pedagogy (since I occasionally work in #education )
- #games: #videogames, #boardgames & #tcg
- #movies
- #birds

Let me know if you are tooting (:D) about any of these things!

This video shows the footage of the attack by #Israel on several clearly marked as medical vehicles. While helping civilians these rescue workers were attacked by the #IDF, after which other rescue workers come to aid those aiding, also to become a target. In total 3 medical workers got killed, 6 people were wounded.

These attacks follow a similar pattern in Israel's way of waging war, more and more targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure with no respect for peoples lives and livelihood. Such attacks are reminiscent of the attacks on a medical convoy near Rafah in #Gaza (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafah_paramedic_massacre) which was then attempted to cover up in which 15 aid workers, including eight members of the Palestine Red Crescent Society, five civil defense, and one #UN agency employee were killed.

Zeker drie hulpverleners gedood bij Israëlische aanvallen in Zuid-Libanon

Een Libanees ambulance-team dat beschoten collega's te hulp schoot werd zelf ook doelwit van aanvallen. Vervolgens werden ze geholpen door een derde team, maar ook daar werd weer op geschoten. Een van de redders filmde die reddingsactie met zijn bodycam.

What might a working class anti-militarism might look like? How might we build such a movement of anti-capitalist war resistance? Capitalism means war,
