  • Other peoples are shedding their blood to win the rights we have. When we send our greetings from here, and from all the conferences and the places where they may be held, to the heroic peoples of Vietnam, Laos, so-called Portuguese Guinea, South Africa, or Palestine — to all exploited countries fighting for their emancipation — we must simultaneously extend our voice of friendship, our hand and our encouragement, to our fraternal peoples in Venezuela, Guatemala and Colombia, who today, arms in hand, are resolutely saying “No!” to the imperialist enemy.

  • I guess you can sidestep this by not recognizing the existence of Israel as a legitimate nation-state?

    Nops :-( A state it’s a political construct, as national identity is a social construct. The recognition could be used against the state, but not against the national identity.

    But what I was trying to point out was the false dichotomy presented: Israel is genocidal and so is Hamas.

    Israel has the material conditions to commit genocide, Hamas does not. At most, Hamas could commit massacres in some settlements, which I don’t see it fits the definition of genocide.

    If we ignore that fact, we can use the political program of Hamas, but it also don’t call for a genocide of jews or Israelians, even seems that they could reluctantly accept a 2-state solution.





  • I strongly disagree with this article. The only rationale socialist approach to this conflict is NO WAR, BUT CLASS WAR.

    Supporting the imperialist US it’s a nonsense. Supporting Russia (imperialist or not) is opportunist, the fact that it’s confronting the US in this proxy war it’s not enough reason to support it, at least in my opinion. Also, the direct consequences of this war are:

    1. A huge increase of military expenditure of the US block (NATO) and a lot of that money will be transferred from the Imperial periphery (non US NATO countries) to the core, i.e.: to the US military industry.
    2. Increased racism, fascism, chauvinism, and militarism in European countries (also Russia).

    The only positive is that the BRICs and non-alienated countries have not supported the Western imperialist narrative. But being able to know this is not worth a war.
