Their latest action was against the planes, but they have actually been extraordinarily successful at damaging the economic machine behind the genocide through targeted and sustained sabotage campaigns against Elbit Systems weapons manufacturer and their supporters, like Barclays Bank. They have already forced the closure of two weapons factories and forced Barclays to divest. It is most likely this sustained campaign that is the real reason for the terrorist designation, though the action at Brize Norton was probably the straw that broke the camel’s back.
If you want to be effective at changing the system, killing random ICE Nazis won’t do it. Everyone here is advocating peaceful protest, but that also won’t do it - or at least, not by itself.
Instead, consider direct action - sabotage of the means of production that prop up the fascist state.
Isn’t the whole point of civilization to get away from the tyranny of men with sharp sticks? We can’t let the crimes of our ancestors justify modern crimes.
You know there are people out there who are actually getting off their couch and fighting?Active revolution isn’t for everyone, but you don’t have to keep normalizing laziness and cowardice. You can instead use your voice to encourage action.
Seems like it’s time to for people to learn about sustained direct action campaigns.
Rev Left Radio had a great interview earlier this year with a member of Palestine Action about their extremely successful direct action campaign against Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit. While the media would have you believe that Palestine Action is an ineffective bunch of clowns, they have already forced the closure of two weapons factories in England and forced Barclays Bank to divest from Elbit through sustained sabotage campaigns. Their incredible success is the actual reason the UK government has named them a terrorist organization, not just for spray painting some planes.
I doubt they’re offended. It’s more likely that, as a leftist, they are justifiably concerned about being provoked into making illegal (if morally justified) threats. There’s a long history of state agents infiltrating leftist spaces to provoke illegal behavior (which is often made illegal specifically to target leftists).
I have had multiple comments removed for “misinformation” because I outlined historical context that goes against anti-communist rhetoric. All factual stuff that anyone could google, but it makes communism look not terrible so the mods of .world removed it.
Nah, he was always blaming the Dems. The first tweet says there wasn’t a leak because the Dems didn’t know- implying that if they had known, then it would have leaked.
The second one is him confirming what he already thought based on Trump’s accusation.
Meh, China’s influence in Africa has been orders of magnitude more benevolent than the US’s historical actions. I don’t think there should be any global superpowers, but if there has to be one, I’d rather have a socialist-aligned country than a capitalist one on top.
