I mean obviously we need everyone in DSA from members to electeds to go all in for @FrancescaHongWI. We must demonstrate that we will crush the far-right. Anything less than full effort would be a disaster.

There is a clear position to be found on the situation in Spain — and the phenomenon of periphery-to-core migration more broadly. It is neither the right’s “migrant invasion” discourse nor the bleeding-heart liberals’ insistence on “unlimited open borders”; they both misidentify the culprit and obscure the solution.

Migration does not occur in a vacuum. It is driven, first of all, by the various instruments and by-products of imperialist exploitation: wage deflation, land grabs, sanctions, wars of aggression, environmental devastation, and so on. When a million Syrians came to Europe, it was not because they were seeking to steal European jobs, but because their country was facing a full-blown economic and military terror campaign underwritten by Washington and NATO.

This form of involuntary migration represents a dual crime. First, the skilled workers — the doctors, nurses, engineers, and so on — are fully absorbed into Western labor markets. They are often well rewarded. This drives a “brain drain” that deprives nations stunted by the legacies of colonialism of the cadre necessary to develop. Second, the working poor are instrumentalized to settle conflicts between factions of the imperialist ruling class. The situation in Morocco is an extreme case of the latter: a people first made destitute by imperialism, and then hurled by it at an intransigent “ally” to punish it for not showing enough love for the permanent war.

These tendencies are intrinsic to imperialism, and they cannot be resolved within it. We are already in a situation where “migrants” from “the jungle” are gunned down at the borders of “the garden” — or consigned to concentration camps and slave markets just beyond it — and the chaos becomes a pretext for the further militarization of our societies. We cannot advance towards a “humane migration policy” without solving the more fundamental problem.

But there is a clear alternative. Socialist states — from the Eastern Bloc to China to Cuba — have had precisely the opposite effect. First, they trained cadres that then returned to their countries of origin as doctors, teachers, engineers, or architects, helping undo the effects of the imperialist brain drain. Second, they supported the peaceful development of the global periphery to enable its working people to remain within their borders.

This is why the question of migrant rights cannot be abstracted from the struggle against imperialism and, at the end of the day, cannot be definitively resolved outside the struggle for socialism.

The truth is Israel’s greatest enemy.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz:

Twenty-four Lebanese villages, hundreds of years old—we destroyed all the buildings, not house by house, but entire villages.

Their destruction has been completed. You need to understand: 15,000 to 20,000 homes across all 24 villages have been destroyed.
