Epstein’s network was real and horrific, but the forces shaping war, empire, and capitalism run far deeper

    Can you please clarify a bit more explicit what you’re trying to say? I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make with the pieces of text you are quoting. Are you trying to say that what Clarke is saying in these pieces of text is problematic? Or are you trying to say that they contradict what he writes in the latest article? Or are you saying something else?

    Squatting and evictions are not landback and antizionist praxis.🤦‍♀️

    Umm, are they not? The homeless population in Toronto is disproportionately indigenous. Organizing with indigenous homeless folks to squat properties on stolen land sounds like land fucking back to me.

    And the kind of sustained and prolonged and longitudinal grassroots movement building is exactly the movement infrastructure on which all sorts of organizing in the city used as a backbone for decades. You’re talking about OCAP as if they were some posers or something, but if you were doing anarchist or grassroots organizing for the three decades up to 2020 when they just got too old, you would know that these were the people every single social movement in the city could depend on to show up and have their backs. They were there when BDS was criminalized, they were there for (and often were some of the same people who lead) initiatives like QuAIA or SAIA, bearing the brunt of state repression. And you are random internet person performing facepalms.

    OCAP should be removing the oppressors from resources to oppress, and composting the Zionists in his neighborhood.

    Again, I’m not sure what to make of this. Is this some kind of edge-posting or something?

        Trudeau is no longer prime minister. If you’re talking about Mark Carney, the current prime minister of Canada, and generally about the Canadian establishment’s support for Israeli apartheid, my answer is that the Israeli apartheid can be defeated only by the Palestinians themselves and by Israelis of conscience, exactly how the South African apartheid was defeated by black and colored South Africans and white South Africans of conscience. Our role in the global north is to organize to make it politically impossible for our governments to keep supporting it.
