Everyone who spread transparent propaganda lies about Iran killing an ever-increasing always-unverified number of “protestors,” and who dutifully repeated YOU cAN be AGAINSt tHe reGIME AND AngAnISt Us InteRVENtion- you are not absolved and you have blood on your hands too.
Bourgeois representative democracy isn’t democracy in the true sense. Elections can be use to subvert the will and interests of the working class. This is an act of safeguarding what the people of Nicaragua have struggled for and built over many years and continue to build.
This is deeply serious. Chambers' indictment hinges on the bogus charge he donated to “foreign terrorist organizations” purely on the basis he moved money from the US to Tunisia, where lived for a time. Fergie's persecution is a test case for Palestine solidarity globally.
According to the DSA NATO left you can condemn the Palestinian resistance, condemn Venezuela, condemn Cuba, fear monger about China, promote and support nazis in Ukraine, support mass censorship, break strikes, oppose reparations but god forbid anyone steps out of line on LGBT issues. That’s the red line. They would never tolerate it
U.S. left: “We only care about culture wars tbh”
In a normal civilization, the rise of AI and automation would be blessing for the majority and shorten their workday.
Under capitalism, it curses them to unemployment and poverty.
There are genuine idiots who defend this and claim it’s rational.
It’s cruel to all the those who have suffered because of politicians like these to pretend they were anything less than contemptible enemies of humanity.
Seeing the despicably cruel, heartless and abusive way that many people in UK and US have responded to the deaths of conservative politicians, Ann Widdecombe and Lindsey Graham, reminds me that the least kind people on earth are ironically those on the #BeKind woke left.
@EmmaVigeland Okay but he’s a social fascist because of his platform that includes “support for Ukraine,” not because of a tattoo. He’s untrustworthy because he caves to the arbitrary red lines of imperialist democrats, not because he cheats on his wife.
Anti-communism isn’t just about opposing actual communism because the DSA poses zero communist threat contra to this hysterical screed. It’s about keeping the limits of acceptable political thought and practice incredibly narrow and therefore the grip of capital tight.
@JJ_McCullough@LexerLux Everyone knows Jewish settlers continue to displace Palestinians using their Jewishness as a justification. Lecture the monsters weaponizing their own identity rather than those who recognize and oppose this disgusting reality.
Taking a second to look up his stance on Ukraine should been enough to instantly identify him as another useless spineless socdem, that’s how easy it is to avoid this kind of embarrassment.
I truly fucked up not doing my due diligence on Platner before offering high praise for his communication skills (on another platform). Enough was out there at the time that I should have been more cautious. Especially because I met adventurer dudes like him while reporting in Iraq. Deep respect to all who got it right.
I won't take down the bad post because that looks like hiding. But please know that I'm truly sorry I disappointed folks who trust me to be more careful. Most of all I'm sorry to the women who came forward only to be disbelieved and smeared. You deserved better and I feel absolutely gutted.
At this point I don’t care if these kind of leftists have the right positions on imperialism. That’s basic. Are they are willing or wanting to truly fight it is the question
This is why the left is insidious. The working class is disillusioned with their government and elites for good reasons which they can articulate. What’s lacking is a direction for that energy- but those who should be building a movement to channel it don’t believe it’s possible.
@jccfergie Class traitors are only useful if they can recognize the working class isn’t the same as the people they grew up surrounded by. This is the deepest nihilism because it’s not based in reality. Most Americans despise their government and it’s a great starting point.
These freaks will smear anyone to their left regardless so why not just be a Communist rather than an ineffectual reformist? Unless you’re just a representative of a different flank of capital 🤔 Intra-class disagreements are real but obscure the actual class war.
@AdamZivo Couldn’t your advocacy of Ukraine as a cheap tool of Empire and Capital not be described the same way? Is anti-LGBT sentiment in Russia not legitimized by the association of the movement with Imperialism?
These types never acknowledge the worst sin of the LQBTQ+ movement- aligning themselves with Imperialism and the global financial apparatus behind it. He’s actually a great example of this, his anti-wokeness only being a different form of laundering for a particular audience.
Radical “queer” activism has been a disaster for the LGBT community. It turns out that if you pride yourself in being abrasive and burning bridges, the public slowly stops liking you. 🫠
I wish the scope was wider. If the message is just “fuck AI” it becomes a choice between “inevitable” progress and “unrealistic” Luddism. The larger fight is for development that benefits the working class or development that benefits owners, financial vultures and their minions.
@LucilleFilm Horror movies regardless of budget offer the spectacle and communal experience that brings people out. Most indie movies don’t lose such an obvious tangible component if you wait for streaming. And horror has a rabid fanbase that will hype something up which helps.
If you don’t think Zionists need to be re-educated for the sake of society then you’re not confronting reality. Forced displacement, genocide, apartheid, torture, rape, reckless wars, ethnic supremacism, endless lies and dehumanization… Zionism is inherently anti-human.
We are aware of recent incendiary statements and troubling behavior by congressional candidate Maureen Galindo, currently in a run-off election for the Democratic nomination for TX-35.
Most disturbing are her comments calling to jail Americans who identify as Zionists and calls for physical mutilation as a form of criminal punishment.
Track AIPAC stands firmly on the side of free expression. Just as we oppose efforts to criminalize the Boycott, Divest and Sanction movement and efforts to codify expressions of support for Palestinian liberation as antisemitism, so do we oppose any effort to suppress or punish the free speech of self-identified Zionists.
Calls for cruel and unusual punishment like that which Galindo has promoted are fundamentally in opposition to our organization's commitment to justice and due process.
As such we are immediately revoking our endorsement of Maureen Galindo and encourage any others supporting her campaign to follow suit.
Regular people in Vancouver trying to get by know it’s not for them, not even in a “stimulating the economy” sense- the economy has been stimulated, the promise of growth of Expo that hung on through the olympics has been fulfilled, and it’s not in a direction that benefits us.
