    When I heard Claudia was getting elected and a bunch of dipshits were whining about her I looked her up to see how she compared to AMLO in general, and found her probably a bit less fiery than AMLO but nevertheless a sympathetic social-democrat. The fact that she's more of a secular Jewish-Mexican who's more of an integrationalist than a zionist does give me the expectation that she'll be more critical of Israel when she is sworn in. It'll be interesting seeing how her administration works during her tenure.

    Surprised people aren’t saying she isn’t a “real” Mexican because her last name isn’t Hispanic. That shit is really annoying.

      Oh they are, in the last debate she was criticized by the PAN candidate Galvez for wearing adress with the virgin of Guadalupe since she isnt catholic/mexican.

        Nothing worse than when Mexicans feed into the stereotypes foreigners have of them being a monocultural brown race.

            Guatemala isn’t much better. We also have a weird subgroup that’s oddly Mayan nationalist despite being more connected to Hispanic culture.

              What's wrong with Mayan nationalist? It seems to have a national-liberation potential, since the Mayans were trampled on by Spaniards, if not the more blanco and creole current rulers of Guatemala...

                Nothing wrong with it when it’s actual Mayan people. It’s cringe when it’s a bunch of Ladinos cosplaying stereotypical indigenous groups. Think of them as the equivalent of American hoteps.

        Incredible. For comrades who are less aware of who she is, not only was she born in MX, both of her parents were as well.

    I wonder if reactionaries only take pro-palestenian stances because they like that Amin al-Husseini collaborated with Hitler.

      They probably don’t know anything. They just see assholes who happen to jews being owned and support whoever is doing it without a second thought.

        Yes. This isn't even remotely contested. Al Husseini collaborated with Germany/Italy against England. Of course Netanyahu goes out of his way to blame Al Husseini for "giving Hitler the idea to do the holocaust" which is completely ahistorical. But it's important not to overcorrect and say Al Husseini did nothing wrong, just as it is important to not blame Palestinians for what he as an individual did

          Losurdo’s Stalin book does provide some useful context, not that Zionists actually care:

          First, al-Husseini only engaged Hitler after Hitler made a deal with German Zionists to transport 20,000 Jews to Israel. Hitler was clear about his plans for creating a Jewish “homeland” (more like country-size prison, but still). I think al-Husseini was reasonably concerned about how he sensed the winds were blowing. Everyone at some point made deals with or tried to make deals with Hitler, so to clutch pearls over al-Husseini (or Stalin) doing it is disingenuous.

          But more importantly, Stalin’s attempt at a popular front strategy by first courting Britain and France to ally against Germany before Molotov-Ribbentrop cost him dearly in the colonies of those countries. A lot of his allies there were pretty angry about that strategy. To someone waging an anti-colonial struggle in India, Palestine, Vietnam, or Algeria… what did they care about a country that, evil as they may be, posed no threat to them? Their “Hitlers” were in London and Paris (Gandhi literally said this very thing). Same can be said for the IRA, too. I think that’s useful context - I think it’s only natural to focus on your most immediate enemy, the one who has the boot firmly on your neck. But again, not that Zionists care about that context.

          Everyone has seen that image because Zionists love to share it despite the fact that Zionist leaders like Avraham Stern explicitly sought alliances with Hitler and that Zionists collaborated with fascist Germany to ship Jews to Palestine for their colonization efforts and with fascist Italy to train their militias (Betar Naval Academy), all of which Zionists justify by pointing to the dire situation faced and explaining how this necessitates "the enemy of my enemy"-ism as if the Palestinians didn't also face a dire situation with the British and Zionist colonization.

    she's centre-left (slightly)

    Does that mean slightly centre-left of centre, or slightly centre-left of left?
