Imperialist war is good as long the right guys are doing it, taking out the bad guys, even when the right guys are Israeli collaborators, purchasers of Israeli weapons, and suppliers to Saudi Arabia.

Americans waiting for Nuremberg 2 as if American officials are typically held accountable for war crimes done before or after WWII. As if Americans didn't install Nazis in NATO positions after WWII.

Here's a thread about an anarchist spreading already debunked disinformation. By your own logic, this makes them a campist, just for the opposing camp.

Ukraine knows Israeli MATADORs and Tavors, and Turkish Bayraktars even better, since they use those weapons themselves. If they really want to brag about being imperialists.

Proving that MLs are campists doesn't disprove that (some) anarchists are.

You cannot understand revolutionary defeatism without an understanding of Lenin's view of the world with regard to imperialism and colonialism. Otherwise you're just dealing with various kinds of anti-militarism. Focusing on revolutionary defeatism can also occlude Malatesta's views on imperialism.

You don't have to reference revolutionary defeatism if you don't know what it is. You can have your own (anti)political positions based on what you do know.

I'm against Lenin, but it's weird when anarchists reference Lenin's revolutionary defeatism as a gotcha but explain his position as the opposite of what it actually was.

Under cover of Iran war, Israeli settlers terrorise Palestinian villages Amid rocket sirens and explosions in the sky, the regional war feels distant compared to the terror on the ground.

"Meanwhile, Israeli settler chat groups have stepped up incitement towards loftier aims in recent days. 'Don’t miss the opportunity,' encouraged one such post. 'It’s time to beat the enemy and expel him from the country.'"

I'm 110% in favor of bodily autonomy and transgender liberation and I'm also against transhumanism as an ideology because it's too Christian for me. Indigenous people were modifying our bodies and having multiple genders long before Westerners invented the ideology of transhumanism.

If an American anarchist of today read Vancouver's 80s anarchist publications like Open Road and Resistance, they would start crying and pissing themselves, and screaming "tankies!" and "the Soviet Canuckistan allegations were true!"

Tankies are a bigger problem than the biggest and most vicious armies the world has ever known unleashing mass carnage once again because tankies say things I don't like, whereas Western politicians say things I do like, such as, those guys running things over there are evil.

Don't tone police my joy at officials being shuffled around within an existing oppressive system that continues to cage and kill people. You don't experience what I do.

You can and probably should be against every state in the world. But this does nothing to divest you of your responsibility to deal with the concrete situation and not just abstractions.

If you are white and say you "don't see race", you are a racist. Not that complicated. Same thing with Western imperialism. If you pretend you don't live in the West and that all imperialisms are equally powerful or relevant to your position, you are a Western chauvinist, a kind of campist.

The naive aversion to anarchists and our consistently accurate anti-statist critique of campism, is the main reason why people who align with marxist leninism (or any form of authoritarian leftism) will never have a comprehensive analysis and understanding of internationalism.

Majority of anarchist stuff I see online is campist for the West. Exceptions being Black Rose & the Anarchist Communist Federation in Australia. No War But Class War groups like ACG UK are also campist because they pretend they don't live in the UK & that Palestine vs Israel is an equal fight.

Canada’s Visa Requirements Are Forcing Students in Gaza to Put Dreams on Hold Students accepted by Canadian universities struggle to figure out how to leave Gaza and comply with strict visa rules.

Khaled and Raneen have both have been accepted into a Canadian university to continue their studies in medicine, but a major stumbling block has been Canada’s requirement that the students submit biometric data β€” fingerprints and photographs β€” to finalize their visa applications.
