Anti-imperialist = anti-capitalist = abolitionist (prison, police, borders, arms & armies) - unashamed to be a communist. Opposed to bullies who use ownership, gender, race, or sexuality to dominate others. Shame & dispossess the perpetrators!

Isn't "no kings" going back a bit too far in history - there've been no kings really since 1789, except as figureheads for property-owners' rule? "No fascists" or "no oligarchs" would be more appropriate demands, or simply a demand for actual democracy, actual power to the people as a collective.

Trump’s Sham Peace Plan. Gaza shows us how imperialism - and the capitalism that has always grown out of it - is, in reality, incompatible with any genuine peace: power, in the modern world, is the aftermath of violent abuse - and resistance to it a necessary duty. open.substack.com/pub/chrished...
Trump’s Sham Peace Plan
There will be no peace in Gaza. Only the temporary absence of war.

Why are they at it again, when we were promised 'Never again' after WW2? Because resistance by indigenous populations or by organised workers has everywhere been crushed; but also because the earth is resisting, the limits of plunder are being reached...

The class that is running the US is heavily into abuse, of any kind they can perpetrate - sexual abuse, violence, neglect, & emotional harm (terror, degradation, false accusations, etc), + there are no age limits.

"the woman who did" is also a fascistic authoritarian friend of apartheid & genocide, i.e. an extremist racist, like Trump.

Peut-être existe-t-il une organisation – l’Internationale Progressiste me vient à l’esprit – qui pourrait inventer un prix pour ceux dont la lutte pour la paix est résistance aux abus et à la domination, + aucun lien avec les fabricants d’armes passés ou présents ; je nommerais Francesca Albanese.

There's a great deal more democracy in Venezuela than you'll find in the USA - what you don't like is the big-asset-owning class not being completely in charge, though you can hardly think that they're doing a good job at the moment in the US.

The survivors of the Gaza genocide must have been longing for the bombs to stop falling: but when actual violence ends, having established a new level of domination, just as in any abusive relationship, that state not "peace", it is a continuing state of injustice which must be resisted.

Ce message est ouvertement raciste – cet Attias doit être un compagnon de route des fascistes. C'est un symptôme de l'effondrement de toute la classe dirigeante impérialiste en un seul bloc raciste, pro-apartheid et génocidaire, face à la menace actuelle qui pèse sur ses taux de profit.

A self-described 'leftist' who isn't opposed to racism, and to the practices of imperialist domination from which racism springs, such as apartheid, genocide, imposition of unfair trade terms, etc. isn't a leftist at all, just another authoritarian trying to lead the left into further failure.

The Nobel Peace Prize given to an anti-socialist who openly supports apartheid & genocide illustrates how low the morality of the transnational establishment has fallen in the face the limits of plunder with which the earth is facing them.

"Your country is part of the problem" is an understatement - Israel is formally a separate country carved out of the best part of what was Palestine, but it has always remained umbilically connected with US imperialism. The connection is through transnational links of the big-asset owning class.

It is a reminder that the oppressed classes, everywhere, are still suffering, though unaware of it, from the theft of the property that they once relied upon for subsistence. To have the land back, in terms of collective, communal ownership - is not expropriation but restitution.

This is an exposition of how - as Trump & Netanyahu envisage for Palestine - violent coercive domination becomes property which benefits those who've seized it for generations - in this case US universities benefitting from expropriated native American land.
