Trump seeks to extradite Palestine solidarity funder James “Fergie” Chambers from Spain on “material support for terrorism” charges. Lawmakers and rights groups call it political persecution amid a broader crackdown on the U.S. left.
You’re not getting it. You have people who will help you achieve your goals and people who won’t. If you exclude the people who will despite differences then you are locking in failure. Your purity badge isn’t going to win you shit.
No substance to it though. It’s all very surface level angst. I’m unconvinced. I’m open to hearing more about how you think we should go about this though. Genuinely here to learn.
if you are still unconvinced by how resisting our kings would help, i don’t know what i could possibly tell you. organizing is the quick, boring but effective answer i can give you.
if you want the substance of it, we have 200 years of theory and history on how people resisted them as they currently exist, how they won concessions, what we can generally try, and where to find the people trying to do this.
we do have to be on the same page on who is causing most of these problems, though.
We have 200 years of failure. Even the left wing in the west are just another flavour of capitalist (and there’s an argument to be made in the east too at this stage). At no point did I say I was unconvinced that we should be resisting our kings. The fact is that capital (as in assets/things, ie not just financial) is power. How are we going to outcompete an adversary that can pump out millions of drones a month or bribe their way into gaining contracts to build up surveillance apparatus? Eventually theory needs to meet reality.

sorry if not fucking with billionaires and imperialists is too pure for you.
How do you plan to fight imperialism without resources? Maybe I’m missing something but it doesn’t sound like you’ve thought this through properly.
how would you fight imperialism alongside imperialists?
People getting arrested for funding programs for Palestinians are not imperialists…
i have addressed this point in this thread.
