How does Antifa "predominate a big chunk of the media"? That's a ridiculous claim. And don't try to associate Antifa with the Democratic Party and the Clinton campaign, it makes no sense.

The Syrian war is a fully flegded imperialist war. The recent involvement from the US is alarming and should serve as a wake-up call to all peace-minded individuals. We who live in imperialist countries need to build a strong anti-war movement, like the ones that existed during the Vietnam and Iraq wars. I suggest checking if the PSL is active in your area, they're a Marxist party that spends a lot of effort on anti-imperialism and anti-war.

The Democratic Party and the GOP are both right-wing. Labelling Hillary Clinton as "left-wing" makes the term completely meaningless.
Also, FDR didn't win the war, the USA didn't win the war, and the nukes over Japan didn't win the war (Japan would've surrendered anyway). For the sake of nuance: I would have been speaking German right now if it hadn't been for the Red Army. Seventy years ago there were literally hanging posters in Norwegian cities giving the Soviet Union (and Stalin!) credit for having liberated Norway from the Nazis. It sounds ridiculous now, but it was a normal sentiment back then. Today it's different, we're nearly told that the US won the war with help from the Allies. And it almost seems to me like some people are trying to create a cult of personality around Franklin D. Roosevelt.
