If I had to guess it probably has to do with the BJP's support of israel

Capitalist apologia; IP laws only hinder innovation by protecting megacorporations and their monopolies. Most real innovations even in capitalist countries happen from state investment anyway.
how new technology gets invented without IP laws
The video linked in the previous comment outlines some methods by which workers are compensated for their work instead of capitalists, some of which have been successfully utilized by socialist states like the USSR, and even in capitalist countries in the form of grants, etc.
- Grants as mentioned before, the resulting creations entering the public domain to prevent monopoly over it
- Decentralized platform for crowdfunding useful projects
- "Patents" that only exist to make sure the correct people are credited for a work while keeping it public domain

Proffessor Richard Wolff also has a video on socialist approaches to development.
When hous is on fire, the right thing is put out the fire
The fire is the capitalist laws like IP; the "hous" is a country's development. So yes, the fire should be put out.
I wish it were...
Normalize killing billionaires! (for legal reasons this is a joke)
Lmao liberals getting mad at (in this case non-existent) "violations" of laws that only exist to protect the capitalist class is always funny
Intellectual property shouldn't exist in the first place; it kills millions of people every year from patented drugs, etc. and it did so in Africa during covid.
Gradually surrounding Bolivia for its lithium and for having a socialist government
Glad a fascist like Bolsonaro isn't in power in Brazil right now. Wish I could say the same for Argentina...
While Republicans’ strident opposition to Palestinian statehood is clearly rooted in bigotry, the Democratic leadership’s role is more like that of the “white moderate” described in Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” who professes to support the goals but not the methods, who insists on endless negotiations with oppressors who refuse to compromise, and who “believes he can set the timetable for [someone else]’s freedom.”
“The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative.”

"Haha get it? Cuz asians are yellow?"
That felt disgusting to type even when satire.
It does seem to address that
Criticism from All Sides
Wagenknecht’s BSW doesn’t just get it from what’s now referred to as the German “center” (i.e., the parties of warmongers and anti-working class policies).
It also gets a lot of criticism from the left – especially [Jacobin article] on the immigration issue.
What? Did the left colonize the global south, destroy their economies and slaughter their populations?
The only two countries, the USSR and China, to ever pose a genuine threat to the imperial core have been socialist. The modern capitalist Russia is a disgrace to its Soviet legacy.
Bombing a nazi state currently committing a genocide is, in fact, a good thing.
There's also barely any "civilians" in occupied Palestine except the children. Half the population are IDF conscripts; most of the other half are fascist zionists just the same. And all are settler colonizers.
Until the colonial "state" has been dismantled, all violence — Palestinian or not — against the occupation is justified.
Damn where are the sanctions on the US? You know, the only country crazy enough to use those nukes on actual human beings instead of just using it as a deterrence like the DPRK does?
