This is vulgar class reductionism. The US and Germany are both imperialist countries that bribe their proletarians with a share of the spoils of international plunder. Israel is a genocidal settler-colony that serves as a forward base for imperialist countries in West Asia. Not only is this vulgar class reductionism, but it’s intentional misinterpretation. Saying “death to xyz country” means elimination of the state and the system, not genocide on the people of said country.
To the first part, this is no reductionism or whatever, I’m just asking a question.
To the second part, thank you for explaining your terminology, for me “death to [country]” meant “to the whole country, including the people”. I would have used “dismantle the government of [country]” instead.

I don’t know which part confuses you?

The countries you wish death for are roughly 90% proletariat. How can you want death for the one, but not the other?

as someone who has to live in germany: X
but regardless, I wish death on germany and a long life for the proletariat.
this isn’t confusing unless you’re some nationalist that confuses the administrative entity for it’s population.
