Lots of israel shit lmao. Pretty obvious who funds the Tommunist Party USA
Eh, more like who funds Israel. Rich gentiles using Jews for proxy warfare
It's a circle though. I'm not saying there's a ZOG lol. Just that the Israel lobby spreads cash around like crazy and I'm sure they're pouring lots into TPUSA especially considering universities are a hotbed of pro-palestine sentiment. Israel's relationship with the US is complex but neither really controls the other.
Israel has a lot more autonomy than other client states, I'd say it's more like a junior partner. Like Australia is a client state, but we don't have teachers in Texas being required to pledge allegiance to Australia as a condition of employment. Israel's massive influence in politics puts them in a unique position. I'd still say they're under the broader umbrella of Western Imperialism. People who think Israel is controlling America are idiots. Capital controls both of them.
The US gives Israel money but it's not like it's any substantial portion of their wealth. They make their money like any imperialist nation does. You're right about why Israelis and their Jewish and gentile supporters spend so much money on lobbying though. They're in a very precarious position that basically makes peace impossible.
I think we agree on most things but are interpreting things differently. The dialectic between imperial core and the periphery isn't as cut and dry, especially wrt countries like Israel. I think there is a desire to consider them a puppet of america, but I think it's more complicated than that.
I mean I understand, liberals have weaponized accusations of antisemitism against anyone who criticizes or questions Israel and fascists have used disingenuously used Israeli lobbying as proof of a grand Jewish conspiracy. That sucks but you can't just ignore Israel and all the awful shit it does and the various levers of power it sounds a lot of money to influence. They're going to call us antisemites anyway, it's our responsibility to disprove that and ensure it doesn't arise out of anti-zionist sentiment.
I get that, it's just that I feel as though the Israel lobby is mostly gentile-controlled and guarded
I mean I have no idea but I'm still going to call it the Israel lobby because it is in fact pushing for their interests. I don't really care if it's controlled by Jews or gentiles, I care about what it does and the effects it has on the world.
I'm afraid of being targeted as a Jewish person because of their actions.
An American flag made out of guns with the caption, "FREEDOM IN ALL CALIBERS" is some serious fash shit.
that quote owns even more in context:
Communists do not fight for personal military power (they must in no circumstances do that, and let no one ever again follow the example of Chang Kuo-tao), but they must fight for military power for the Party, for military power for the people. As a national war of resistance is going on, we must also fight for military power for the nation. Where there is naivete on the question of military power, nothing whatsoever can be achieved. It is very difficult for the labouring people, who have been deceived and intimidated by the reactionary ruling classes for thousands of years, to awaken to the importance of having guns in their own hands. Now that Japanese imperialist oppression and the nation-wide resistance to it have pushed our labouring people into the arena of war, Communists should prove themselves the most politically conscious leaders in this war. Every Communist must grasp the truth, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party. Yet, having guns, we can create Party organizations, as witness the powerful Party organizations which the Eighth Route Army has created in northern China. We can also create cadres, create schools, create culture, create mass movements. Everything in Yenan has been created by having guns. All things grow out of the barrel of a gun. According to the Marxist theory of the state, the army is the chief component of state power. Whoever wants to seize and retain state power must have a strong army. Some people ridicule us as advocates of the "omnipotence of war". Yes, we are advocates of the omnipotence of revolutionary war; that is good, not bad, it is Marxist. The guns of the Russian Communist Party created socialism. We shall create a democratic republic. Experience in the class struggle in the era of imperialism teaches us that it is only by the power of the gun that the working class and the labouring masses can defeat the armed bourgeoisie and landlords; in this sense we may say that only with guns can the whole world be transformed. We are advocates of the abolition of war, we do not want war; but war can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun.
—Mao Zedong, Selected Works Vol. II, pp. 224-225
Ah yes the famously anti-gun... checks notes ... Stalin and Castro?
They only lied about being pro-gun before the revolution.
After they seized power the first thing they did was pass progressive gun legislation so they could control people.
The hilarious contrast of student groups which actually interest people and have to constantly stretch their funds to get anything done... and piles and piles of shit like this which you can't even give away because there are only three people at your meeting, and two of them ordered the kits.
