Every time is see some idiot say "well what about what happened on Oct. 7th?!" I remember my initial reaction (which I still stand by) I saw the paraglider commandos and I stood up and cheered and pumped my fists and shouted "they did it! They're fucking doing it!"

Burial is a very symbolic practice, the act of interring grief and creating a place where mourning can be revisited. The occupation desecrates our graves, displaces our people and disposes of them without a trace. They rob us of the ability to move on.

There is a huge benefit to being a well adjusted normie when it comes to doing political work, which sucks because the privilege of being perceived as well adjusted and normal is not afforded to those most in need of political change.

It is impossible to avoid the conclusion that hosting US military bases while the US is using them to illegally attack your neighbours makes you less secure not more. Security and peace in West Asia requires permanently removing the bases.

Jacobin magazine, the principal mouthpiece of the leadership of the Democratic Socialists of America, today released a hit piece on Amazon labor leader Chris Smalls, @Shut_downAmazon. It could be legit if Jacobin had had an honest critique of Smalls to clarify what class struggle unionist leaders should be doing. But the article is not that at all. It’s a hatchet job against a leading labor activist who has refused to toe the line of the DSA and the business unionist labor leaders who give cover to the so-called progressive Democrats and to the Democratic Party as a whole, despite shocking betrayals by them against working people. The crux of the real reason why Jacobin went after Smalls is contained in this sentence: “[Smalls] blames the two-party system for the state of the American labor movement…” Smalls is spot on about this and the need to break from the Democratic and Republican parties. We need a new party of the working class. The DSA leadership, on the other hand, sees giving cover to the Democratic Party as job number one. The Democratic Party is the party under whom the genocide in Gaza began and which engineered the breaking of the railroad workers’ strike — both under President Joe Biden. ALL Democrats in the House, including DSA star AOC voted to break the strike. The Democratic Party is one of the two most powerful capitalist parties in the world, and in no way represents working people or the oppressed. Business unionist labor leaders are those who have made peace with the capitalist system and are driven by protecting their careers, which means placating the bosses, not organizing the rank and file against the bosses to win substantive working-class victories. Refusing to fight the bosses also means aligning with the parties of the bosses, like the Democratic Party. The overwhelming majority of the labor leadership today is business unionist, with some crucial exceptions like Smalls. We need a reckoning in the labor movement. Brother Smalls has put his life on the line for the antiwar movement in solidarity with the Palestinia people against the Israeli state’s genocide bankrolled by both the Democratic and Republican parties. Smalls went on a Gaza aid flotilla carrying food, baby formula, diapers and medicine in the context of catastrophic levels of mass starvation in Gaza. The flotilla was attacked by the Israeli military, who physically assaulted Smalls, and kicked and choked him. In contrast, AOC has voted for the Iron Dome which is part of the Israeli state’s genocidal apparatus. For having the temerity to expose AOC and other self-described “progressive” politicians, Smalls is called “narcissistic” by Jacobin, a term the magazine’s editors were apparently forced to retract after they got huge amounts of flak on all social media. Personal attacks and character assassination like in this case are often used by the political establishment’s spokespeople as proxy for their real objections — in this case, the threat they feel from Smalls openly calling out the Democratic Party’s actual role. The only way of rebuilding a militant labor movement is to pose a concrete threat to both the Democratic and Republican parties, which in turn requires a challenge to the business unionist labor leadership. That is the basis on which I won the nation’s highest minimum wage and the Amazon Tax during the decade I was the sole socialist on the Seattle City Council. I am now running as an independent revolutionary socialist against genocidal Democrat Adam Smith. I am calling for an end to all military aid to Israel and an end to all weapons and tech for genocide and imperialist war. kshamasawant.org

TODAY— Photos were smuggled out of Ecuador’s prisons and published by the brave Karol Noroña. Under the current U.S.-backed military dictatorship, inmates are starved and 1 dies every 7 hours— an alarming rate for the 2nd smallest nation in South America. NOBOA IS A MURDERER.

Today, New York’s governer, attorney general, police commissioner, and senior senator marched alongside an ICC-wanted war criminal in a parade celebrating an apartheid ethnostate that stands accused (by every major human rights org in the world) of genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Sorry to weigh in, but maybe the US left should nominate as many israel-critical shithead ex imperial soldiers like Platner as possible just to make everyone in power look into the camera to say/admit troops are morons who lowkey had it coming. Could be good in the long run.
