It’s not surprising I guess but it’s still disturbing to see how easily politicians who supported the Gaza genocide have rehabilitated their image. Ro Khanna thought 10,000 dead Palestinians wasn’t enough. Bernie thought 15,000 dead Palestinians wasn’t enough
My gosh.
Yesterday, Egypt Coach Hossam Hassan asked FIFA to use its "soft power" to help Palestinians.
Today, just as the Egypt-Argentina match began, Israel killed Mohammed al-Wahidi, of the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza — which also organized Gaza screenings of the matches.
🚨🇧🇫Ibrahim Traore has nationalized FELL FOR IT AGAIN AWARDs production
He said, “It's an African value, not a Western degeneracy”
A nation with immense potential.
Revolution in the core will come from inside the prisons. And when it happens the left will be caught off guard bc they make no attempt to talk to the ppl inside of them, the ppl who are going to bring the U.S. to its knees alongside the guerrilla resistance of the third world.
@Workshops4Gaza While this is obv a very useful quotation for our basic understanding of the national question I do think Mao's position was a bit more complicated as evidenced by On Contradiction... just in terms of the weight given between the primary and secondary contradictions
What I love about reading Lenin is that he used every crisis as a way to intervene and figure out where the masses were at. He never laments that they aren’t sufficiently radical, he has curiosity about what events are telling him about where consciousness is trending. Just dismissing every event out of hand instead of analyzing it and seeing what interventions can be made is a completely dead end politics whose only purpose is to puff yourself up online. It has no real world utility.
Punching down at colonized people in the middle of an active genocide isn't political pragmatism.
The recent NY primary election cycle show a dangerous pattern where progressive and democratic-socialist candidates condemn Palestinian resistance to gain mainstream endorsements.
If you are willing to throw Palestinians under the bus for a seat in the imperial apparatus, how can you be trusted not to do the same against your own constituents?
Because this pattern, even when coupled with pro-Palestine stances, ultimately justifies genocide, it's obvious that a career in electoral politics doesn't change the system. It changes you into a managed opposition.
