@Vincenzo2082@tracertong25466@mattyglesias You are completely missing the point. A center left party becomes a leftist radical party by compromising on its principles. Your sense of aggrievement and resentment has nothing to do with it and is totally beside the point.
@Vincenzo2082@tracertong25466@mattyglesias The subject is whether you can govern as a moderate democrat on every issue besides Israel or if the antizionists are radicals that will consume your party and make it a radical party full of Marxist accelerationists. I am keeping you to the subject, not changing it.
@Vincenzo2082@tracertong25466@mattyglesias Apart from Zionism, what are your thoughts on the policy positions of the Democratic party? Things like healthcare, infrastructure, taxes, the regulatory state, etc.
@tracertong25466@mattyglesias A similar phenomenon happened to the French left after Algeria and to the social Democrats in the Weimar republic after deciding they wouldn't defend themselves on the Jewish question against the national socialists.
@tracertong25466@mattyglesias British Labour. When they let the Corbynistas in, they consumed the party. Because antizionism isn't a policy position. It's a world view. The radicals just sense that you don't have principles and that they're ascendant and keep attacking until they eat you alive.
@souljagoyteller The USSR was a federation of states held together by commitment to ideological zeal. Israel is a nation state held together under the principles of self determination outlined in the Treaty of Westphalia. Amazing that you think these two things are comparable.
@tombelaviv_ Yeah, this is the problem when an idiotic antizionism and critical theory overtakes your mindset. That's the only lens you can view anything from. Does that sound familiar to you?
