Reading this is actually quite enlightening as this racist windbag basically repeats every racist islamophobic chauvinist talking point I have seen made by “pro-Palestine” anti-resistance westerners.

A very long slopfest of drivel. I have just posted a tiny selection. But if while you read it you find yourself agreeing with aspects of it then maybe its time for self reflection.

“We must protect the women from Hamas” 😆

Okay Bromma shut the hell up.

    The general theme of this article is an essentially fictitious belief that only a true left liberation should be supported and all else condemned. While this itself is a ridiculous error in basic judgment (it is wrong to have even written this and shared it), its specific content and rationales are disorganized, play on racist tropes, misapply European racism to situations where it no longer applies or has the same weight or meaning, seemingly deliberately avoids context, uses actual Zionist logic and propaganda without criticism, implicitly supports Zionism throughout by failing to center occupation and oppression as driving reactions rather than e.g. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and so on. Above all, it is incredibly lazy, and given the seriousness of the topic, this demonstrates how little the author actually cares about any of this. It’s self-soothing for an ultra chauvinist that wants to think they are better than that. Hell, it uncritically cites WSWS (Trots) in their false mythologies about the labor movement in Palestine (failing to bring up their false belief in the Zionist working class, i.e what they meant by “dividing” the working class) and litters the document with MEMRI citations, New York Times citations, and Washington Post citations, all wuthoit criticism or engagement, just dumping them as fact in support of their claims.

    There’s probably even worse in there but I gave up trying to engage with this reactionary and disorganized mess about half way through.

      Another author from the same clique of USian Maoists from the 70’s, J Sakai went off the deep end this way too.

      I tried reading his most recent book and its the same way. Just uncritically NYT articles about “cartels” and “Russian invasion” and Uyghurs and stuff.

      It’s much easier to accuse everyone of being fascist than to acknowledge that there are actually revolutionary forces who we should be materially supporting. Burger do nothing politics.
