I get that we gotta be tactful in the way we try to convince their sincerely-minded fans away from their grift, but at the end of the day in discussions among communists, they deserve nothing but venom.
They're sheepdogs. They could use their platforms to support revolutionary parties and figures. Instead they've individualized the US-Zionist sins to Trump/Netanyahu and offered Democratic politics as the only solution for naive young people once more. They had their uses years ago, but their current role is apparent. Fuck them and the immense damage they continue to do to the revolutionary left.
Ready to watch major sections of the Western left who have been calling out the media's dishonest coverage of Gaza once again take the media bait and damn Trump for assisting the end of the Ukraine War.
Not that he'd be pursuing it for anti-imperialist reasons, like Biden pulling troops out of Afghanistan. But a positive development is still a positive development. And the Western liberal left won't be able to recognize that.
It's literally the same emotional reaction that critics of the Iraq War were receiving. If you were against the Iraq War that meant you apparently loved Saddam Hussein and "weren't listening to Iraqis." Apparently only Syrians are allowed to have an opinion on Syria because they're Syrians -- irregardless of their ideology.
Bad faith actors on social media are using this as an opportunity to divide the anti-imperialist movement by, once again, appealing to identity politics.
If you just compare their administrations in terms of their material effect, Biden has objectively been more evil than Trump. He has started more wars, is responsible for magnitudes more death, has overseen further strengthening of the police state, and has gifted even more working-class wealth to the billionaire class.
The lesson to draw is that no matter who is president, Amerikkka will continue to accelerate into fascism and barbarism.
All good comrade. Burnout is real. Be kind to yourself. More and more people join the movement every day, so don't feel guilty for taking breaks where you can. Your health is important and someone will eventually be there to fill in the gaps.
Basic necessities cost way too fucking much, let alone small luxuries. And your society is gaslighting you into thinking that the genocide you're watching is actually totally cool and super normal. So get back to work, keep buying things, and stream some more pop culture garbage content.
It'd be crazy if you weren't feeling burnt out and dysregulated.
But we gotta acknowledge that Holocaust denial coming from an Arab leader -- one that Marxists generally support -- doesn't exactly help in a time while activists and Arabs are being censored en masse for "antisemitism"
No it's not. He's willfully ignoring the mountains of evidence that the Nazis did indeed deliberately target European Jewish people and almost wiped their population out. They targeted other groups, sure. But antisemitic conspiracies were an explicit part of their entire ideology. Yeah, the legacy of the Holocaust is distorted and weaponized by the West, but his statement is one of Holocaust denial.
This is an L. And his take doesn't help the struggle against Israel or the global reputation of Arabs.
They're just as bad but the plus side (if you can characterize it as that) is they're way dumber. It's telling that towards the end of his life he was calling out the Biden admin for being reckless af.
Exactly. China is going to look out for China. Just because a state is a socialist state does not mean it is a benevolent state. I feel like there are a some communists out there who have idealist expectations of China and earnestly put stock into the meme that the PRC will "liberate the West."
This whole article is proof of the failure of settler-leftism. This guy, as critical as he has been of Israel's fascism in the past, is now practically indistinguishable from a fascist.
Israhell's on fire right now lololol
