One thing that drew me to communism and specifically Marxism-Leninism is that I noticed communists often saying things that sounded (to me at the time) unbelievable but always proved true when I researched them. I take note of who lies for political advantage and others do, too!

All this pointless debate about the ethics of terrorism, as if anything Hamas could do, no matter how terrible or objectionable, is even marginally comparable to what Israeli hegemony in Palestine has done and will continue to do
@djokerovic@RodericDay Working with a mass of people shirking responsibility for their country with abject denial is more fertile ground than trying to pop the bubble of alien mass mind control.
I keep coming back to this point because I don't think Nazi-sypathetic leaders encouraging Waffen rehabilitation, building cop cities, and slaughtering Palestinian civilians are distinct issues. I think they are the slowly unfolding plans for maintaining power in the 21st century
It's critical to understand that, to a liberal, "organized" means "integrated within the bourgeois political system" and "successful" means "respected by bourgeois interests."
By his definitions, I hope the "organized" "left" doesn't survive. Make way for the real ones.
I was in Palestine in May. Today, I revisited some of my notes from that trip, and recalled the overriding sense that the Zionist occupation was fragile, impermanent. That fragility — that cowardice — is on full display now.
If you want to define a people by colonialism and ethnic cleansing and racism, there are some good candidates who are so defined by colonialism/imperialism there is basically nothing of their cultures today that pre-dates it:🇳🇱🇺🇸🇬🇧. Jews are on the other end of the spectrum.
it's easier to kill heroes than masses, so the smart money is in heroifying the masses, i.e. widely distributing the labor performed by heroes and generating tons of redundancy and culturally institutionalizing protocols for collective action
When you hear atrocity propaganda remember that they also used it to found the country in the first place. They libel the victims of America right in the Declaration of Independence. There's no older, more American tradition than planting a gun on a corpse.
In the entire history of the United Nations, only one successfully ratified General Assembly Resolution has ever been repealed: UNGA 3379 in 1991 after intense US/Israeli pressure and blackmail.
The oldest and most self-serving liberal tradition is making up stupid horror stories like this one to ensure that not a single braincell gets jolted in the process of approaching a political question.

In ages past thinkers like Fanon and Nkrumah theorized how colonial violence manifested as fascism domestically back in those colonial "home bases."
The interesting thing is seeing this phenomenon consciously developed:
