There is only one conclusion possible: the war in Gaza is a war between two imperialist states.
not even gonna read this. terminally unserious topic. what Gazan state. what imperialism could they possibly have the capacity to do. you do not live in reality. you are playing with action figures and calling it politics.
No, you don’t understand, imperialism is when you fight people, and the Gazans are fighting fascists, meaning they are imperialist.
In contrast to the comrade, we are convinced that Gaza is not only a national entity but that the regime in Gaza has also several functions of a bourgeois state: it collects taxes and has an army, a juridical apparatus, detention facilities, intelligence and police personal, etc. It is the Hamas de-facto administration which exercises these state functions and has, since 2005, under the direction of a highly centralised command centre, been able to fire thousands rockets into Israeli territory. There is only one conclusion possible: the war in Gaza is a war between two imperialist states.
Imperialism is when nations. Hamas collects taxes ergo its a nation ipso facto its imperialist. Checkmate.
TIL that the USSR wasn’t communist after 1930 because taxes.
Imperialism is when thing I don’t like, don’t you that? Smh it’s just like how gommulism is something I don’t like too.
But the article is right when it says that the slogan “Palestine will be free, from the river to the sea” can only signify the ethnic cleansing of the Jewish population in the region between the Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea, “a Nakba in reverse”.
We publish here an exchange of views with T, a contact in Germany, focusing on the mobilisations in support of “Freedom for Palestine”.
I am absolutely not reading this.
You will be shocked, as I was, when you realize the comrade from Germany is the one defending Palestine.
Rare unironic
The German left has some of the most embarrassing and brainwormed “leftists” this planet has to offer. The fall of the GDR was an unmitigated disaster for Germany. All that remains is a society that’s outlived its usefulness.
Communism is when the government does something (domestic)
Imperialism is when the government does something (international)
P.S. Trotsky has sent in a silly letter. We shall neither print it nor reply to him.
This has the same energy of that one left com party saying that the war is happening cause of the Palestinian bourgeoisie.
i hate ultras
leftcoms, 'nuff said.
They seriously stress the “don’t be sectarian” part of me.
uh huh please face the wall
I remember back in the day when I thought the funny jokes and memes about leftcoms not wanting to get out of their chairs while they oppose praxis was just an exaggeration, but throughout the years these fuckers have really shown it to be very much true.
Indistinguishable from “ironic” neoliberal trolls
Well Lenin blah blah nothing nothing Lenin I said magic word Lenin…
Palestine doesn’t exist and deserves to be trampled on because it is oppressed and not a socialist entity blah blah Religious political (what the fuck do you think is?) Blah Lenin I said Lenin Lenin Lenin.
Let me inject my bullshit pulled out of my ass shit and inject Lenin Lenin Lenin odut of context and without relevance.
So is “T” from Germany a or an AI prompt or a dirty Hasbara?
It’s easy to get confused on this one, but T from Germany is actually the one arguing that Palestine should be supported in its anti-imperialist struggle.
Ultimate plot twist
To be fair all other trots became the green voters and shed any sense of radicalism. So the remaining trots must be better.
The ICC reply (though I like how they do try to reply genuinely and honestly) boils down to “but the palestinian government is/would be capitalist too, so…”
This is the very bad form of class reductionism, the idea that oppression/genocide/etc doesn’t matter and isn’t imperialism because it’s not fundamentally along class lines.
Sure thing, ICC, but I don’t think the people of Palestine are in any position to do any revolutions while under the iron thumb of the US and Israel. Nor do I think many people will view communist organisations positively if they sit by, ambivalent about genocide.
