This is one of the most serious attempts yet to explore, in English, the theological basis behind Shi’a Islamic resistance movements. The Western left and its media channels have relied on memes and Orientalist sneering to ‘understand’ the Axis of Resistance, without any engagement with expert Shi’a thinkers and theologians like @HMakke91. This must-watch episode of @ATTRITIONPod is an essential and educational intervention.

Just a heads up, anyone telling Black and other People of Colour not to run from violent nazis intent on kidnapping and falsely imprisoning them in inhumane conditions in for profit concentrations camps is not for the people. They're for the system.

Zohran telling people encountering ICE “Do not impede their investigation, resist arrest, or run.” If you are being detained by ICE, you should resist arrest and run! If you are a citizen, you have a moral responsibility to disrupt their operations to allow others to flee.

Every revolutionary who defies Western interests is branded a terrorist. Every death-squad dictator who guards Western interests is called an ally. This is not hypocrisy; it is the operating manual of imperialism.

Few things in this world are more shameful than 99% of the media whitewashing an Al Qaeda and ISIS butcher as some statesman, all for the sake of crippling Syria into subservience of Israel. And then they have the nerve to call other people "propagandists" and "terrorists".

new york times editorial board has published a horrifying screed normalizing US military global dominance, insisting that the administration must drastically increase it's military budget, and preparing the reader to passively accept the "need" for a US war with China in 2027.

“For many Palestinians, a single state premised on ‘equality’ with Israelis is not liberation but continued entanglement with a society that has perpetrated and largely supported their dispossession.” A new piece by our member Lara Kilani! Check it out ⬇️

Zahran Mamdani’s campaign is one of the most effective cases of counterinsurgency in recent memory. In a matter of months, the same people who lauded student encampments as the peak of Palestine solidarity are now celebrating a mayor who rewarded the police commissioner who cracked the skulls of these protesters. We need to study and identify the way counterinsurgency works in liberal politics. The state doesn’t just crush these movements, it absorbs them, rebrands them, and calls it progress.

Publish anyway. It isn't even a real threat. Theyre saying they'll "review and take appropriate action." Let them retaliate, then fight them when they do, in court and in public. Do the right thing and take the hit. Don't self censor at the slightest hint of repression.

Police in the US are an extra governmental institution of class domination. They don't answer to elections. They answer to the ruling class organized thru capital firms (developers, corporations, etc.) They're literally immune to accountability except to those interests.

All mayors of New York are going to serve at the pleasure of the NYPD until one takes one for the team, agrees to be a one term mayor, and devotes their energy to breaking the political power of the police.

sell a socialist dream (barely) -> pathologize criticism as wrecker behavior -> perform the “we’ll hold them accountable” ritual -> commit something vile (see: Tisch) -> everyone pretends nothing happened. a cycle as classic as American pie.

ppl comparing mamdani's win to obama's are closer than they realize in that each are maneuvers to use "representation" exclusively to rehabilitate the democratic party & faith in the usa & electoral politics. your "joy" is the fabric that weaves together counter-revolution.

@GbombM75819 Obama said this same thing. Do you not see how Mamdani's path precludes the development of that movement outside city hall? It is hypocrisy to both demobilize anti-institutional politics and then blame your opportunism in office on the lack of mobilization from the streets.

This is opportunism in every sense of the word.

@seizethebanks In the Leninist sense of the word. Both the Mamdani campaign and social democracy as a political trend/movement are opportunist. Your party is bandwagoning them, clout chasing the opportunists.

@unityoffields I ran across this on threads earlier today and it resonates. Open Letter to the White Left in the U.S. By R. Dhoruba Moore and Frank Khalil Abney of the Black Liberation Army (B.L.A.), dated 1985

Our cause must be defended against these attacks if we are to protect our ability to organize around these values at all. It's this or acquiesce to the narratives and institutional structures of collaboration, which are the organizational basis of Mamdani & the social democrats.

Those of us opposed to capitalist immiseration of the natural world & imperialist genocide can't afford to be confused here. There are fundamentally different narratives & politics at play. There is either resistance or collaboration. The two cannot live in the same mvt.

The Mamdani campaign and its narrative aftermath are an exercise in counterinsurgency – they are being used to co-opt resistance narratives and political passions back into institutional paths and narratives. It is pacification. 🧵
