If you’re talking about American politics, then yes, both parties uphold capitalism and its innate unjust power structures.

You can vote for the lesser evil all day, but in the end it will take revolution to root out evil entirely.

Pampas grass is actually super invasive in certain areas (like all of California).

The idea of “weeds” is a colonialist construct.

Don’t worry, on the internet you’re only antisemitic if you oppose the genocide in Gaza.

This is America. Ignorance is the goal.

I learned about this through an interview with a PA member on Rev Left Radio: https://revolutionaryleftradio.libsyn.com/palestine-action-direct-action-against-the-death-machine

I’d still rather have a state that pretends to be socialist than one that upholds capitalism - an ideology that seeks to place everything and everyone under the domination of a few elites.

Oh, I see, you think that just because the UK labeled Palestine Action a terrorist group, they actually are?

…

Hey, come on over, I got a bridge to sell you!

Why are you talking about Hamas in a thread about Palestine Action? The two groups are not related at all and use totally different tactics (Palestine Action is explicitly non-violent).

Sabotaging the tools of genocide should be supported by everyone who isn’t a monster.

Their latest action was against the planes, but they have actually been extraordinarily successful at damaging the economic machine behind the genocide through targeted and sustained sabotage campaigns against Elbit Systems weapons manufacturer and their supporters, like Barclays Bank. They have already forced the closure of two weapons factories and forced Barclays to divest. It is most likely this sustained campaign that is the real reason for the terrorist designation, though the action at Brize Norton was probably the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Authoritarianism thrives when citizens self-police their speech.

The choice was fascism at home or fascism abroad. You’re right, no-one is entirely blameless. Harris voters must also accept responsibility for not holding their candidate to a higher standard and allowing genocide support to be an acceptable position for Democratic candidates. If we are measuring blame, it is not my principles that are at fault, but rather your lack of them.

I mean, sure, also vote. But all of you who are blaming protest voters (who, by the way, did not meaningfully impact the results of the election) are pointing fingers at the wrong people.

You’re right, inaction is not the answer. See my edit.

Thank you, yes - I will edit my comment.

This is a bad analogy. Harris wasn’t fucking ice cream. A better analogy would be the trolley problem. People get killed no matter what choice you make.

But you know what? The solution to the trolley problem is to not play. I’m not to blame, the people who laid down the track, strapped down the people, and sent a train hurtling towards them are entirely responsible.

Edit: as others have commented - the real solution is to blow up the train before it hits anybody and go hunt down the sick bastard who set up the problem. (In other words - direct actions like sabotage and revolution).

If you’re serious, no, not all good. By UK law any organization led by the same people will automatically be labeled a terrorist organization.

They are doing this because Palestine Action has been incredibly effective. They have already forced the closure of two factories in England that produce arms for Israeli defense company Elbit and forced Barclays Bank to divest through sustained sabotage campaigns. No person has been hurt by their actions, yet these actions have cost the genocide supporters millions of pounds and caused months-long disruptions to the production of weapons used in ethnic clean songs around the globe (Elbit weapons are fueling not just the Palestine ethnic cleaning, but Kashmir and DRC, too).

Why should that be the goal? Why does stolen land get to remain stolen just because a couple of generations have passed?
