"If we really want to stop refugees we need to stop creating them"
We (socialists) don't want to "stop refugees" though
And not all refugees are the result of Western intervention. The top refugee-producing country is Syria. Ask any Syrian refugee whose bombs they fled. https://twitter.com/PeoplesMomentum/status/1296457652021731329

I get what the video is trying to do but I just don't think this is the way to talk about refugees or how draw a line between foreign policy and migration. Its Western-centric. Its also reinforcing the narrative that refugees are a problem or a burden.
Sure there are instances where this video's argument is true - Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran and Yemen being obvious cases.
Just wish the Left would frame support for refugees in terms of solidarity and migrant justice - not this faux attempt at anti-imperialism.
