I’ve seen a lot in recent weeks of the title phrase or similar defending American voters (specifically Harris voters), and arguments that would apply equally to the citizens of and members of the Nazi party. Remember that fascists aren’t monsters, they’re people - normal damn people acting in their material interests and I don’t give a damn if you wanna call that evil or talk about the material pressures themselves, make no mistake - Harris supporters are fascists. Are all Americans propagandized, gaslit, predominantly of a class which necessitates they feel near constant fear in this society? Sure. It’s no excuse, and it’s no suggestion they won’t murder us next.
To support a full Holocaust is beyond the pale. There is nothing left to redeem, they are not allies, there is nothing you can offer but your hate, because they will kill you, in the end.
Free Palestine is the chant of every marginalized and oppressed people of the world. Anyone who does not stand with it, has chosen the promise of protection under fascism and cannot be convinced otherwise. Spend your efforts on the uncommitted, the hopeless, the working class who have not signed the blood contract and forfeit their souls. For the rest, PPB.
Patriotic socialism just becomes nazism again. You can’t coopt white nationalism thru its beautiful lies.
Look what happened to Peter Coffin.
On a more personal level, I look back at my own evil. Polticis isn’t really about good and evil, but living with yourself is, for me, and some shit I did back in HS and college when I would do the thing like quote the Bible and the statue of liberty and push dem soc policies was absolutely just accommodating fascism.
I have no personal hope the is anything that can be done in the heart of empire. Help those around you, refuse to take part, take your chance if you spot a moment to do something meaningful.
Well its more like using the Americanisms to get the masses on your side. The leadership of a revolution wouldn’t actually believe that bs but u gotta get the masses behind u somehow and that sorta stuff could help to do so.
“I can use the master’s tools to dismantle the master’s house”
No, you cannot. Use your own words, and do not appeal to the last refuge of the scoundrel.
