Also we have more in common with the members of the axis of resistance than we do with these so-called reform & "revolution socialists"

BTW this is the same bunch that spat in Cuba's face

    These are DSA Trots. Literally a group from Socialist Alternative that wanted to do entryism but SA wasn't on board so they just did it anyways and left SA to do stupid things in the DSA.

      For trots, they do seem very anti internationalist lol. Saying that allying with groups and governments in other countries who are directly opposing Israel militarily is "self-marginalising and a dead end"

      • Alaskaball [comrade/them]M17•2 months ago

        depends on the group. theres a exclusively pro-cuba trot group out there, as well as that trot group that PSL split from. theres some wildly diverging perspectives among that bunch to be sure

      • Maoo [none/use name]14•2 months ago

        For a lot of Trot orgs internationalism just means finding Trots in other countries and then implying they're the people to believe when it comes to conditions on the ground.

        There is an 80% chance this particular group has been citing or will cite "Palestinian trade unions" as their allies or the people from whom a call to action has been made. And when they do that, it really means 7 Trots in Palestine, 2 of them being Westerners trying to create a revolution by "democratizing" some random union in The West Bank.

        Referencing "trade unions" in this way is one of those signifiers, an accidental dog whistle, that flags someone as a Trotskyist. They'll use the same line and tactic to attack Cuba or China or again, basically any target of US empire they can be ultra about, by giving the authority of the workers' movement to a small number of independent trade unionists with 20% good actions and 80% bad.

        Also they think statements like these are very important. The idea, "maybe this should be an internal criticism" is unfathomable and against their core principles of gathering the working public behind their glorious rhetoric.
