Amid the escalations in our class conflict the Ukraine war has brought, the question that the communist movement has increasingly come to be battling over is: can we advance all the parts of our cause, while working with ideological elements that don’t share each of these ideas? Can we remain principled on social justice, workers rights, and all other aspects of our agenda at the same time that we collaborate with these elements on issues like anti-imperialism?
Came back to read over the newer posts here and holy shit does hearing that take infuriate me, considering the settlers never seem to like when you start bringing up the span of time between the I Have A Dream speech, and his eventual assassination. That span of time where he started listening to the likes of brothers el-Shabazz and Ture. That span of time that spawned the quote “in many regards, the dream that I’d had has become a nightmare”. That span of time where Dr. King started understanding that… Non-violent action, while it got in the papers, would not be enough to unravel the Gordian knot of settlerdom.
Then he caught a bullet for it. But surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre, “MLK Jr. would’ve hated wokeism”. Ohhhhhhhkay.
yeah, my jaw dropped when I read that tweet, I wouldn’t have even said something like that as a cringe libertarian teen, and these people are calling themselves socialist? lol
