They have a point. Bernie was supporting Kamala until election day, and using language such as “the conflict in Israel and Gaza” in order to try and placate more progressive voters and get them to hold their nose strong enough to vote for Kamala. Now that the strategy failed, instead of owning it and apologising, now that Bernie is opposition again instead of belonging to the establishment through the party in government, he can appeal to progressives

“Working class” refers to people whose main source of income is a salary earned on exchange for labour, in a free contract between them and an employer.

“Capitalist class” refers to the ones purchasing the labour power of others in order to have them work capital that the former own.

You’re confusing “working class” with “lower class”. The concepts of low, middle and upper class are quite diffuse, mostly based on income, and used to draw artificial barriers between workers who at the end of the day have more common interests than different ones.

Why is propaganda against the ruling class not helpful?

unlike Americans they’re not inoculated against these ideas

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha did you watch the election results in the US mate? The US has a system with a far right party and a slightly less far right party

Massive consumer price inflation, mostly

I (hate and) understand that the reason is geopolitics and CENTCOM military power projection in the region, but it’s still bad politics to not commit to a pretense of trying.

Essentially, you’re saying that the genocide is settled and that american elections are exclusively performative (at the very least when it comes to international policy). You must then agree with me that the US is not a democracy, and that the US as we know it is a force for evil in the world?

*~only applies to swing states~

Exaxtly how provoked was the Naqba according to you

Saying that Israel has a right to defend itself from Oct 7th is completely equivalent to saying that Nazi Germany had the right to defend itself from Polish resistance attacks under occupation. Please learn about the Naqba before spewing IDF propaganda about the right of Israel to defend itself.

I meant in the US, sorry

the pflp caused Trump to win

ROFL

Israel has a right to defend itself. So does every country

Why would you even say those words when it’s not the case? Israel isn’t defending itself, it’s committing genocide.

So: start organising to fight fascism immediately. We’ve been saying this for years: you don’t fight fascism at the urns. Unionize, make collective grassroots power, read leftist theory (the only ones who managed to stop fascism in the last century).

Removed by mod

If only we had any historical examples from, say, the past century, showing that the way to stop fascism is NOT by voting the socialdemocrats/liberals into power…

May do? More like continually does

ROFL. George Floyd is one of the few good examples of popular mobilisation in the US and you’re using it somehow as a point of how it’s bad to protest???

America as we know it, may be over

Stop. I can only get so hard

The war in Ukraine is about to end

Damn, if only we had listened to the people calling for a negotiated peace since the first moment instead of calling them Putin bots…

NATO might disband

As a western European, I fucking wish, but you’re too hopeful for that. NATO is exclusively a force for evil, and the only interventions that it’s carried out are the bombing of Yugoslavia and the bombing of Libya, the latter resulting in a decade of civil wars that destroyed the formerly most prosperous country in Africa. Extraofficially (not technically NATO), also the invasion of Iraq. How is literally any of that good.

100 years of authoritarianism

The US has never been anything different from that. It’s based on the genocide of natives, on slavery of imported Africans, and the decisions made at the government are consistently against the will and the interests of the majority.

Down with the US empire

Wait, you think the US has had independent media at any time?

You misspelled Kid Starver. I mean Queers Harmer
