    “We need Harris in office so that it’s easier to organize to help Palestinians!”

    The degree of narcissism that it takes to say this self-serving bullshit while a genocide is unfolding exclusively because your precious nation exists…

        “drag to the left kicking and screaming” was the weird turn of phrase that was always used. Seemingly always by people that had never tried to convince their old ass relatives of literally anything.

      In all reality it probably isn’t even true either. When Trump took office membership and activity of left wing organizations exploded. It was so much easier to organize people into a state of rebellion when they couldn’t pretend things were fine under Trump than it has been under Biden.

    White people have a very long history of voting in a way that throws PoC under the bus as long as whites get policies they support. These PoC are usually defined to be outside the nation itself. I refuse to continue reproducing this phenomenon. I will not vote to eradicate my Palestinian brothers and sisters. Straight up.

      Another thing: in a settler colonial project the primary issue isn’t class struggle, it’s the settler colonialism. How is a communist going to declare the land and resources of that land for the proletariats, when the proletariats are either settlers or descendants of settlers depending on the time.

      The land and resources belong to the indigenous, not to the “proletariats” in that case.

    “Look, we gotta gas some of the untermensches, that’ll make the bloodthirsty horde satisfied so they won’t gas all of them. What? Don’t be ridiculous, they won’t get more bloodthirsty.”

    “The issue isn’t the Reich itself, it’s just Hitlerism specifically! It’s corrupted the actual major benefits that the Reich brings. We need to hold a select few Hitlerites to account for being excessive, not burn the whole Nazi regime to the ground! I think 99% Hitler has some really good policies that go in the right direction!”

      “And look, after we finally got rid of Hitler, the next fuhrer was Donitz who was not even 99% Hitler like our Dem fuhrers, but much less, at worst like 85% Hitler! But nooo, the damn Russkies had to come and crash everything just when it was incrementally improving!”
