and you can learn a lot from being a member of the global proletariat.

seriously, it's not that big of a deal. the people of Gaza are standing up cuz they have the shared experience of being oppressed by settler colonialism, those who benefit from colonization have zero incentive to oppose it.

    lol The USA is the most militarized country in the Earth. You can't do nothing without people policing you so I'm not surprised that it mostly doesn't spill over into using force because we're clearly not at this stage.

    USA has been beating down its own proletariat through COINTELPRO and now a replacement to COINTELPRO to not give people like, say, Latin American immigrants a fighting chance.

      This kind of shit has always existed yet proletariat movements still managed to rise above it. The fact none in the US have is because there isn't demand for one in the US.

          Yes and they rose up in far far more repressive conditions that what dorks in the US trying to form DSA branches have to deal with.

            And yet, there are only 5 AES countries among the "Third World."

            Meaning that most of 'em are still dealing with capitalism.

            I'm not saying that American citizens don't have it easier, but the conditions for a proletarian movement and one that achieves revolution is still there.
