The function of DSA is to capture and dissipate the revolutionary moment, ultimately to maintain the imperial and zionist status quo. The fact that Mamdani hasn’t followed through on any of his supposed “anti-zionism” should be wake up call that there is no salvation to be found in democratic party entryism.

Trump got elected again because Dems couldn’t stop alienating demographic groups that have traditionally been strongly democratic in voting patterns. Did you really think it was smart to appeal to neo-cons and alienate centre-left voters?
Being a member of some or other group doesn’t automatically make you right. This is no different to a Republican substituting a coherent political or philosophical argument with “As a straight white Christian male, I have this opinion and you can’t question it”.
Revolution is the overthrow of one class by another. What occurred in France, Russia, and a number of anti-colonial national liberation struggles throughout the global south for instance. The OP is of course being facetious (can’t blame them, Americans are frustrating in their servitude and passivity despite what’s unfolding), revolution doesn’t occur unless the material conditions are conducive to mass disobedience on that scale. The problem is that liberals are trying to funnel the disillusionment and contain it in hopes of dissipating the revolutionary moment in order to get back to their usual business of putting a human face on America’s domination and hostility in South America, Asia, and Africa as the “Good Cop” to the Republican’s “Bad Cop”.

Seriously, you people are no different from the Conservatives. It is always either homophobia or punching left.

1·4 months agoDSA was founded by a Zionist and imperialist. It’s a glorified democratic party caucus with no potential beyond being a means to funnel momentum back into dead-end entryist candidates. Rinse and repeat for 50 years, and fall for it for the millionth time.

6·5 months agoMight be a bit libby, but I am not normally a fan of vigilanteism. This might be an exception though, given the fact that this was going nowhere before through the legally permissible avenues.
Right sorry, must’ve misclicked
An ad hominem would be to dismiss an argument by attacking the person or circumstances. You know, like calling someone a Russian bot.
Secondly, I think you missed the point of the image. You claim to believe America is bad, but simultaneosly adopt it’s views on geopolitical rivals uncritically. Yes, including the view that anything that portrays the west in a negative light being “Russian propaganda”. Funnily enough, that’s the real ad hominem and is something incredibly common to hear coming out of liberals.

That’s not true, anarchists regularly allow themselves to be infiltrated by cops and closet white supremacists.
This article has done a tremendous job of making the Zionists here expose themselves. They take issue with this, but can’t form an argument against the points being raised as is typical with Zionists.
If you have no problem saying that Boers are complicit in Apartheid or that Southerners are complicit in slavery, then you should have no problem with saying that Jews are complicit in Zionism. If any of the other groups mentioned here was doing the same as Israelis are doing currently, no one here would have a problem with saying “Yes, All Boers/Southerners” nor would anyone call that “hate speech” other than right-wingers themselves. Jews aren’t exceptional, and the standards you apply to Boers and Southerners should apply just as much to them.
I know AI when I see it, this is clearly not AI.
