@juegosnoguey @Is_Not_Brian Any 14 person communist book club can say what they want free of the pressures and power of mass politics. But the moment a Western party had an actual social base, even a COMMUNIST party, you saw inconsistencies, like eg.: the PCF flip flopping between 2SS and anti-Zionism.

@juegosnoguey @Is_Not_Brian When we say “the Western left abandoned Palestine”, what we mean is that Palestine has been an afterthought’s afterthought across the entire political spectrum for decades, even as the Western left finds electoral ascendancy with people like Bernie or AOC.

@juegosnoguey @Is_Not_Brian The Western left absolutely abandoned Palestine before 10/7; the entire planet abandoned Palestine to isolation and slow-motion genocide. That is why 10/7 happened in the first place, to “burn green and dry” the status quo that had achieved political and global unanimity.

@juegosnoguey @canaani1948 @Is_Not_Brian No, Patrick. Imperialism is not historically progressive.

@juegosnoguey @abolitionduck This definition is young, Hegelian Marx cringe; historical materialism does not prescribe a preconfigured universal formula for the development of the modes of production. There is no fixed “path”. Read Marx’s letter to Zasulich & the letter from Marx to Engels in Manchester.

@juegosnoguey @antiTWSF What the fuck are you talking about? Historical progress is about advancing the social relations and the forces of production held back by those relations. What does growing an imperial capitalist force to the detriment of proletarian revolution have to do with that?

@juegosnoguey @canaani1948 @Is_Not_Brian Your mechanistic conception of historical materialism applies to Israel just as it does to the US. Capitalism being in more places in 1949 relative to 1776 doesn’t make it any less true that Zionism brought capitalism to Palestine like how settlers brought it to Turtle Island.

@juegosnoguey @canaani1948 @Is_Not_Brian Not remotely true. With Zionist colonization came first the proletarianization of Palestinians under previously semi-feudal relations, then their genocide as their land made way for more Jewish settlers bringing more rapid industrial expansion & global capitalist integration.

@juegosnoguey @capoties This is why settler colonialism was (and is) a miracle for growing the productive forces for settlers, while simultaneously relying on supposedly ‘pre-capitalist’ social relations, while being historically regressive in terms of its impact on the development of social relations.

@juegosnoguey @capoties In France, there was nothing to bind the sans culottes to the aristocrats. But, for the settler revolutionaries in the US, from the highest planter to the meekest yeoman to the lowest landless worker and hopeful homesteader, *all* could benefit from the theft of more native land.
