ideological clarity, consistency, unity, and militancy are critical, and make the difference between short-term electoral strategy versus revolution and complete structural and cultural change.

socialist electoral politics won’t sustain without cultural revolution and political education among the masses.

from:

that people use language like “terrorist,” “attack,” “evil,” “horrific” to describe October 7th and the Palestinian Resistance shows an ignorance to historic facts and a lack of understanding and perspective of the trauma of generations of occupation and apartheid conditions.

the Palestinian Resistance strategically exposed the racism, double standards, and hypocrisy of the West, exposing the world to the West’s pattern and policy of dehumanization and extermination, and the u.s.’ and israel’s propaganda and settler colonial narratives.

this special military and political operation was not "horrific" nor a “terrorist attack,”but a means to Palestinian liberation. what's horrific is the occupation, blockade, siege, and Palestinian Holocaust that the israeli and united states governments are inflicting.

the Palestinian Resistance’s demands were and still are: the ending of the israeli occupation, the freeing of Palestinian hostages in israeli prisons, surge of humanitarian aid, and the removal of all israeli forces from Gaza and the West Bank. these demands never changed.

the Palestinian Resistance launched rockets at the IOF/military bases. following these rocket launches, the israeli government enacted its hannibal directive and shot their own people.

to be clear about what happened on october 7th, 2023 as ppl are rewriting history—the Palestinian Resistance launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, a special military & political resistance operation to break free from the open-air prison & apartheid imposed by the israeli occupation.

democratic socialists/liberals say “the [communist/marxist] left doesn’t want power” while simultaneously bowing to the establishment and forgoing working class solidarity principles and integrity. it’s a false sense of power while holding hands w/ establishment leaders.

that trump exists shows how one can be antagonistic to the establishment and create one’s own power outside of it.

if “power” means conceding to the establishment and giving up integrity and militancy, i promise you don’t have power; you are just a useful idiot. power is you setting and dictating the agenda, and bringing people to your table, not trying to please the establishment.
