Dunno if anyone's posted this yet, but on a hunch I decided to look up what Marx wrote about the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

For those who don't know much about it, this was a violent uprising against the British colonial regime in India, started by the Bengali troops (Sepoys) the British organised into serving as their local infantry force.

Seems very relevant given the current violent uprising of Palestinians against their own colonial oppressors.

Marx hand-waves away the 'attrocities' committed by Indian forces against colonialists, something which the european press at the time sensatioanalised as much as the current european press is sensationalises the 'attrocities' committed by Hamas.

Marx focuses instead on the decades of colonial oppression and the bloodthirsty joy the British soldiers take in it. Not too different from how IOF forces have been behaving for years tbh.

While most communists and 'leftists' I've seen online, have basically said the same thing, it's nice to see Karl Marx would probably have been on the same wavelength.

Though there are some 'Marxists' who, for some reason, think it's important to support Israel. This is good ammunition against those sorts.
