I'm in Canada and my family hails from a town very close to Detroit. I know folks from around there who know the exact places their families settled in after escaping through the railroad. Some of those houses still stand tall and have people in them. Like hell that shit got forgotten.
I always try to see the best in people, but the best case for Graham Platner is that he's a very dumb guy who supports good things. As history has shown, the road to where we are is plagued with very dumb guys with decent intentions.
The best case scenario for Graham Platner is that he is very stupid and his campaign managers are also very stupid. There's really not a glowing way through this for the guy.
Brother 100 years ago is not that long ago. My best friend's dad was born 4 years before WW2 ended FFS and he still works right now as a fucking BAKER and we're in our early 30s. The great depression was longer ago than WW2 and you can still SEE its effects in daily life.
It's almost like, to them, their enemy is both weak and strong... Wonder whose strategy it is to make the enemy seem that way...?
Maybe among your neolib cadre, bud. Among her constituents and the left she gained notoriety and credibility out of that.
I'm at a point now where I really think leftists need to stop talking about elections so much, particularly american ones. Yeah I know elections are useful and all that stuff Lenin said but at this point I think they're more of a distraction from real work.
Carney lies a fair bit and fairly easily, but so I hope he's lying about this.
A very normal way to lie down
I have not been keeping to this well and I'm sorry to myself.
What about the critique from the other end that a lot of what he has done has been veering the country off into a jingoistic, nationalist direction?
So are we gonna cite Shen Yun next? I'm very sorry they took their slaves and ponies.
Better than... what? A bunch of us are revolutionary communists who, surprise surprise, know the history of communist revolutions.
The F&L is not a deckbuilding guideline PLEASE
This but odeon
I literally just listed off a bunch of history. Operation Cast Thy Bread was a warcrime committed by the JPC in which they poisoned wells to force palestinians off their land. One of many attrocities of the Nakba.
You love to see it.
There are only 2 paths to justice, find a way to live as one state, or find somewhere else to live. The ball is and always has been in their court.
They may have been able to survive as a state if they had left palestinians alone. There perhaps was a time when a 2 state solution was tenable, they have torn the possibility of that to shreds and have made themselves a pariah by coating themselves in blood and laughing as they did.
They thought about making that refuge in Argentina, in a place that wasn't occupied. Instead they bought colonized land from the british and killed 90 thousand people to occupy it. Then they wanted more so they occupied the land those that fled them were in.
Acknowledge the right to return and fuse the two nations into one under the same flag. Dissolution and reconstitution is the only way forward.
You keep saying wiping out people like that's the only way a state ceases to exist. Upper Volta stopped existing because it stopped being a french colony. Israel will stop existing when it stops being a colonialist apartheid state.
A one state solution is the justice.
Also note that you still evade ever talking about the Nakba.
Th... The british invaded the Ottoman empire and forced their surrender of the land, establishing the British Mandate for Palestine, AKA occupation, until selling that mandate to the JPC. It was acquired through colonization, AKA theft.
Soooo they bought it from landlords who stole it, and then when the tenants objected they... Did what again? That part you don't like mentioning? Operation Cast Thy Bread? 90 thousand dead? That whole thing? Their communal farm is fertilized with the blood of the people that lived there.
In order to end what Israel is doing, acting on the ideology, Israel must cease to exist as its existence is in and of itself an act of its ideology. It's ideology is that the land that was stolen by the british and then ethnically cleansed by them belongs to them.
They bought it from people who stole it, and have continued to use it as if it's theirs.
This is the paradox of tolerance. You call me a bigot for wanting to eliminate a bigotted state. To be tolerant we cannot tolerate intolerance, to be against bigotry you cannot support bigotry.
All I'm learning from all this is that Zohran Mamdani killed Rosa Luxembourg.
