I demand that we stop funding the Iranian military. I call on Congress to cut off all aid and arms sales to Iran until a new, acceptable government is in place.

Radical activism, 1918: “While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.” “Activism”, 2024: “I’m a professor!”

who’s morality are you trying to appeal to when you emphasize that the encampments are “nonviolent/peaceful protests”? the west’s? the cops brutalizing students? the people funding and arming israel? the people burying children alive in mass graves?
Abortion advocacy has to de-gender abortion because placing it in a feminist framework makes it delegitimate. So, abortion becomes a matter of healthcare or bodily autonomy, not a matter of sex inequality.
i just don’t like how there are faculty denouncing violence against students but saying (and doing!) nothing about their demands for the university to divest from colonial-imperialism ☹️
israel was a state brought into existence through a series of massacres and mass deportations. now contemplate what “israel has a right to exist” means when chanted over and over again by senators and presidents.

“We”? The reflexive identification with…what, the Union army? Northern ruling class? is striking. It could be a soft denial of actual historical forces. Or a denial of one’s own current position vis-a-vis power.

Liberals in the bargaining phase of fascism
One of the most insidious tropes in modern news is the idea that crushing the poorest people in our society is some sort of “unusual alliance” between Democrat and Republican elites in each particular instance. It is, and has been, a key area of agreement between them.
People need to retire the idea that patriarchy genuinely "protects" any women. This is patriarchal propaganda meant to conceal the fact that it's an inherently violent structure--the whole point is to put you in a dangerous situation, something that marginalization only deepens.
liberalism is the idea that society doesn't have to choose between socialism and fascism, it can just postpone that decision indefinitely. when liberals start deciding against either one, they stop being liberals.
this is particularly interesting to me, because the notion of “distorted memory” presumes exactly the kind of pristine, “uncorrupted” memory that fms claims their opponents naively believe in. the reality is that *all* memory is always already constructed.
Palestinians are not letting themselves become a land acknowledgement and a lot of people who LOVE land acknowledgements are so mad about this.

The facilities downgrade from Texas to Kansas City has to be a culture shock.
Welcome home, @XavierWorthy 🏟️
The true face of the authoritarian university is being revealed in real time, for everyone to see and liberals to misinterpret. This is not university administrators "betraying their communities": this is them turning their ideological commitments into political practices.
Some tenured faculty members at @BrownUniversity are being threatened with vague disciplinary action after having visited the encampments. They received this email from the Dean of Faculty. I’ve confirmed at least 2, but there are at least 2 more I am hearing about beyond that.
In a war of oppressed vs oppressor, the only path to peace is for the oppressed to win. People who don't want the oppressed to fight back don't want peace, they want silence.
Astonishing these young educated people have no clue what or who they are actually supporting. Those who protested against Vietnam War wanted US out of war. They didn't support N. Vietnam/Communism. They advocated for peace. These ignorant students are supporting terrorists.
@socialistlegacy Except Marx was completely wrong. There are NO evolutionary laws of economics period. As FDR said, the only laws in economics are man-made laws. Thus, we do need to build a socialist society by design. Do you also believe in the invisible hand and other 1800s myths?
Been seeing a lot of posts highlighting the discrepancy between responses to campus protests against genocide and marches of neo Nazis, so I thought I'd wheel this one out, courtesy of @NiaFrome
x.com/the_wub_/statu… Let's see what the failed Islamaphobe has to say about the French Revolution
I didn't know this but apparently the "Marie Antoinette was a girl boss who misogynistic nationalists & envious peasants blamed for all their problems because they were uneducated swine" narrative got a recent shot in the arm from the likes of Contrapoints, which explains a lot
You're the one never beating the allegations
But purpose-bred pig-human hybrids of the US bourgeois terrorist class *do* comprehend this, when they think about it. To paraphrase elf-nazi Elbridge Colby: "We have to start a war in Asia to keep Americans rich, otherwise they'll get wise to the fact they are suckers"
People are confused about the fact that the U.S. must support the zionists to the hilt because they fail to comprehend how global imperialism subsidizes the lifestyle of the settler proletariat in the U.S. and keeps them bought off
In Kai Bird's biography of Oppenheimer, warped unrecognizably by Nolan's film, he recounts how Berkeley's administration routinely used the football team and frats to bust striking teachers and student protesters on campus.
If one sees white US frats and sororities as continuation of the regime of rule the Reconstruction tried to end, the logic of cops/frats alliance seems clearer.
I hate the way liberals will say that having rape fantasies is a 'sexual autonomy' issue for women, as if the real sexual autonomy issue isn't the fact that society eroticizes women's sexual subordination to such an extent, we end up internalizing our own oppression in this way.
I really do think this is very important to grasp: anticommunism (& the anti Stalin paradigm!) is so foundational in this country, it taints everything. The “democratic socialist” politic is oriented AGAINST communism—positing itself as a rational, pragmatic, peaceful alternative
These red liberals are obsessed with appearing “pragmatic” & “rational” but also “progressive”. This politic is grounded in nothing material, it’s a vibe based politic
@PinguTuan @without_history Because this shit is bunk? “Relatively autonomous but mutually reinforcing”
