I like to think many an anarchist "left unity" guy was born from being exposed to Graeber saying basically this.
It is the 99% v the 1%

All the propaganda out there is to get all of us in the 99% to fight among each other so we don't unite to defeat the 1%.

Dear Western Liberal,

Saying "I support a two-state solution" does not release you from your moral obligation to ferociously oppose a genocide backed by your own government.

Y'know, I stand with Palestinians because it's right, but it's not for nothing that every single "Gender critical" ideologue also seems to be a committed Zionist, the same people loathe and dehumanise us both, and in that the Palestinian people have my solidarity.

My speech outside the High Court, where GLAN & Al Haq are challenging the government’s role in facilitating Israel’s genocide in Gaza through the supply of F-35 parts.

This is about justice, accountability & ending UK complicity in war crimes.

When you look at the people celebrating the Supreme Court ruling today; Laurence Fox, Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch, Katie Hopkins... it shouldn't be hard to see which side is in the wrong.

“Benefit cuts with a red rosette are no different from those stained blue. And yet cuts signed off by a Labour government are in a sense particularly brutal. They come with a tinge, not just of fear, but despair and betrayal.”

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting.

This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity.

These cuts are disgraceful - and they will cost lives.

All I ever hear from Labour is how they want to make workers unemployed, how they want to make the unemployed starve, how they want to make the sick die. This is a government at war with its citizens.

truly wild that plenty of centre-left parties would be too cowardly to use this slogan which should be entirely uncontroversial for any nominally left party (looking at you, Labour)
