Trump seeks to extradite Palestine solidarity funder James “Fergie” Chambers from Spain on “material support for terrorism” charges. Lawmakers and rights groups call it political persecution amid a broader crackdown on the U.S. left.
No substance to it though. It’s all very surface level angst. I’m unconvinced. I’m open to hearing more about how you think we should go about this though. Genuinely here to learn.
We have 200 years of failure. Even the left wing in the west are just another flavour of capitalist (and there’s an argument to be made in the east too at this stage). At no point did I say I was unconvinced that we should be resisting our kings. The fact is that capital (as in assets/things, ie not just financial) is power. How are we going to outcompete an adversary that can pump out millions of drones a month or bribe their way into gaining contracts to build up surveillance apparatus? Eventually theory needs to meet reality.

How do you plan to fight imperialism without resources? Maybe I’m missing something but it doesn’t sound like you’ve thought this through properly.

People getting arrested for funding programs for Palestinians are not imperialists…
