Acting like the violence the oppressors inflict upon the oppressed and the liberatory violence the oppressed must use to free themselves is the same is peak colonial mentality and you should really do some introspection
This should be the first things a lot of lemmitors read in the morning and the last thing they read before sleeping. A lot of westerners in general, in fact.
I meant that people still have chauvinistic "this BLM stuff is distracting us from class struggle" types of takes even recently. They do it with all kinds of issues, I think it's just class reductionism basically.
I genuinely wonder where people like this come from cause it’s like they were designed in lab specifically to piss you off
lmao, I feel this way about them all the time too. It's baffling the takes people come up with sometimes.
I am specifically referring to them sayings Israel is a “national liberation” state ??? and the nonsensical implication that the Palestinian Proletariat should unite wit the Israeli proletariat to overthrow their perspective bourgeoisie
not a single communist in either Palestine or Israel would tell you this because it’s dumb
Yes, this notion died a hard and final death for obvious reasons when the communist party of "Israel" split over it, right?
it’s the equivalent of telling Black people during the civil rights protests that they shouldn’t fight against segregation and instead should unite with the white working class
TBH people are still having this kind of take today. It's all just chauvinism of all kinds disguised as "leftism", I think.
They called Israel a "national liberation state" in the other comment, which regardless of how many layers of irony are happening seems to be an attempt to dismiss Palestinian national liberation which is deeply disgusting.
I'm still not sure I understand. Are you saying that it doesn't help the third world proletariat for stolen land to be returned to them and for them to have self-determination? Would it not help Palestinians to have their land returned and have control of their own nation?
It's also worth noting (I'm sure you're aware of this) that it's completely false. Palestinians were Arabized, they were there before Arabs and then became Arabs and are even party descendants of the Jews who remained in the region. They are native to Palestine and Ashkenazim are not (they are Europeans). The most important early zionists such as Herzl and Ben Gurion were very aware of this when they openly described their project as colonialism.
At the rate at which kkkrakkkers on the fediverse express their white fragility, soon each white person will have more than one country to themselves. What happens when the number of mayo countries exceeds the number of individual atoms in the known universe? We need to scientists to study this problem ASAP.
It takes a lot of restraint to not just respond with "hell yeah I support the white genocide", but I don't want to read a thousand "see, you're genocidal" smug replies from people who think white genocide is real.
