Not only that, he states (without a grain of evidency and clearly not even listening or reading what Ben actually says) that Ben is “reading too much Sakai and not enough Lenin”…
I’mma keep it a buck with you if I hear somebody really fix their face to say that, they getting cut the fuck off. That kneejerk response in anyone anglo-adjacent is exactly why I take a third worldist position-- I no longer believe the ‘American left’ is capable of anything but being the lapdogs for empire.
If you american communists don’t get to work and do a revolution soon, the rest of the world will, with or without your support, and things will get ugly, like, really ugly. For us, but specially for you.
It isn’t going to happen, specifically because Anglos(and those who gleefully tapdance for them) will relinquish nothing that revolution requires one relinquish. I hope the outside world bulldozes us; I hope for my ashes to be mixed with the soil of the land my ancestors were stolen to build. Because y’know what, that’s the closest that Any of my people will ever get-- or anyone else the Anglos have ever exploited, for that matter-- to owning the land we cultivated for the crackers.
You’d hope so! You’d also be very, very wrong. The vast majority of American ‘leftists’ I’ve spoken to are the type to “there’s no race problem, just a class problem” on some 1920s IWW shit.
