As universities across the country are colonized (or decolonized, depending who you ask) by tent-cities of anti-Israel protesters, Stanford has rekindled its “sit-in to stop genocide.”  The sit-in 2.0, a tent city in Stanford’s White Plaza, is about 500 feet closer to Stanford’s Main Quad and has

    Liberation, the official newspaper of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, has issued statements supporting Russia’s annexation of Crimea, opposing Hong Kong’s 2019 pro-democracy protests, denying that [SA] was used as a weapon of war on October 7, supporting Bashar Al-Assad in his bloody civil war, and flyering in favor of North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.

      supporting Russia’s annexation of Crimea

      Crimeans - who are overwhelming of Russian extraction / Russian-speaking, voted to leave Ukraine and join Russia. Given how Ukraine killed 14,000 people in eastern Ukraine in the ensuing years, it was objectively the right decision.

      opposing Hong Kong’s 2019 pro-democracy protests

      lol based, it wasn’t pro-democracy it was pro “how dare the CPC pass laws that let them go after murderers”

      denying that [SA] was used as a weapon of war on October 7

      You know who else denies it? The famously Marxist-Leninist organization The United Nations, who said Israel has not provided any evidence that any of that happened.

      supporting Bashar Al-Assad in his bloody civil war

      Uh oh, you all are about to be who-must-go. Also PSL didn’t even support Assad, they just said the US shouldn’t intervene. No more than I supported Saddam when I said the US shouldn’t invade Iraq, jfc

      flyering in favor of North Korea’s nuclear weapons program

      Oh no, another nation wants to do what it has to to defend itself, quelle horreur. Probably not anymore because they no longer trust the US but for years DPRK has offered to get rid of their nukes for very reasonable requests like removing all US troops from the Korean Peninsula or dropping sanctions, and the US has always said no. If you don’t want the DPRK to have nukes, blame the only country to ever drop nukes on actual people.
