Devastated to hear about the death of David Graeber. He was an intellectual giant, full of humanity, someone whose work inspired and encouraged and educated so many.If you haven't read his work, consider doing it now and let his legacy live on.Rest In Power, David Graeber.— Owen Jones 🌹 (@OwenJones84) September 3, 2020
The true test of an internationalist is whether they can support a third world country whilst Imperialism gears up for slaughter and not be confused by shitlib meaningless non phrases like "dIcTaToR" etc.
As if all capitalist states are not Dictatorships of the Bourgeoisie
Graeber misled god knows how many thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) into carrying water for Imperialism as the US funded jihadis, supported ISIS and bombed Syria into pieces
Even as Rojava capitulated to imperialism he still championed Rojava as if it was a cause worth celebrating
Even as Trump said they should "take the oil from Syria" on live TV
Even as the Kurds burned down wheat fields to starve Syria cities
Even as the Kurds ethnically cleansed Arabs and Assyrians
Ironically having a shit take on foreign policy means that Graeber strengthened capitalist-imperialism in the heartlands (west europe/USA and Japan) so it's literally the most important thing.
So we can weigh on the scale "created the phrase 99% and wrote a good book about debt" vs "misled perhaps 100,000s of people on the reality of Syria and Imperialisms role"
Meh
