@krystalball El-Sayed is anti-Zionist but pro-capitalist. So, he wants Palestinian liberation, as should we all, but he supports an exploitative, extractive system whose logic includes imperialism. The options in Michigan beyond him are hideous but he will become an enemy if elected.
@briebriejoy Policy preference among donors (American oligarchs and the Israel lobby) converges around capitalism & imperialism. There is no meaningful variance in objective even as there are awkward differences in execution. The Parties signal to politicians, rep donor interests & get paid!
@briebriejoy@ninaturner He says he wants left unity but promotes the imperialist line on China. He says he's a fan of Claudia de la Cruz but tears her down publicly. He wants the endorsement of an explicitly socialist Party, criticizes its education program but says he won't promote socialist views…
PSL, with the People’s Forum, has raised almost $400k for solar panels for Cuba.
There’s a lot of good that can be done outside of running for office and we should appreciate that they are doing it.
@krystalball What’s wild is that Tim Walz would accept this as a peace offering so that Democrats using aligned NGOs, co-opted 50501 and big labor can slow or kill momentum for a broader general strike.
@freedomrideblog Democrats have no analysis of imperialism, except to provide it rhetorical cover when the criminality of their constituents (corporate clients) is exposed.
