Interesting, I assume the siding with America in fighting communist Afghanistan was for the same reason then? This is a blind spot for me if you know any good books pls recommend 🙏

It's insanity, like men who can't make cereal think they're shepards leading sheep because they're so daring as to believe american propaganda and there's literally millions of people to tell them they're correct

Just need to vent, I swear to god the revolutionary potential in America is just not there. So many people just have zero ideological conviction and because we're not subject to the worst of the empire's violence many feel no constant need to fight it, an encampment can end and so many people just go to brunch. The constant need to fight against the empire's propaganda, infiltrated orgs, and most of all the powerful combination of privilege and individualism is so incredibly exhausting. All that feels good to do is sit home, read theory and talk with my closest comrades, I can't be led into another unprepared police raid by people who had just collaborated with the kops, or in an org led ultimately by some undemocratically elected leader, or talk to another "ML" or anarchist white boy that can't even admit racism and imperialism still fuckin exists.

And the PFLP promotes a one-state solution? I'm arguing against ideologically supporting a two state solution, even if the professed position of Hamas may have a strategical purpose. There's no material basis for assuming any agreement between the two would lead to the fascist settler colonial state to not be, well, what it is and has always been. The struggle will continue until from the river to the sea Palestine is free.

I feel like this speaks to China's policy of complicity with the capitalist system in ways that allows China to thrive and eventually lead the world into communism - if they just sent the people's liberation army to help out Hamas the west would probably start WW3 right then and there. That said, it can be genuinely disturbing and worthy of criticism when we say the ends justify the means in any case, especially when we have inspiring quotes from Mao like this:

"The People's Liberation Army is always a fighting force. Even after countrywide victory, our army will remain a fighting force during the historical period in which classes have not been abolished in our country and the imperialist system still exists in the world. On this point, there should be no misunderstanding or wavering. "

The Zionist entity cannot continue to exist if Palestine is to prosper or even survive, the two-state solution is untenable at this point to many marxist Palestinians and marks an error in China's stated foreign policy in so far in that it allows the settler colonial state to continue existing. Legit the population needs a military defeat and reeducation, a two state solution would only continue the oppression unless it also took the form of a massive reducation campaign of "israelis" but even then you have an apartheid ethnostate that would require such major reconstruction I don't see any good reason to not expect the just and true end of this conflict as a liberated palestine and the fascist force of zionism defeated.

Just want to make sure we aren't considering Rashida Tlaib ultra-left for recognizing as many Palestinians do the two state solution as a normalization tactic and not a material end of the conflict in anyway.

Good post, as a queer person this is an interesting thing to talk about with other queer leftist/commie-curious people though. Rare Stalin L that we'll learn and be better from.

It drives a wedge between the working class and allows Mexicans to be exploited for slave labor in agricultural work under the threat of deportation of them and their families. It also gives a ton of false excuses for the failures of capitalism, I remember recently Musk has been pushing the whole "Illegals are taking all the affordable housing" thing.
