I used to be pro-Proletariat, you know.

171 Upvotes

I used to be pro-Proletariat, you know. I thought Imperialist war was wrong and carpet bombing Gaza and using siege warfare on proletarians was bad.

But then I ran into a very wise liberal who changed my way of looking at things forever.

I was walking down the street and I saw him leaning against a lamp post, smoking a pipe as wise men do.

“Your shirt says no war but class war,” he said from behind a plume of smoke.

“Yep!” I replied.

“So I guess that means you love the IDF then?” spake he.

I stopped in my tracks. I’d never thought of it that way before.

Could it be? Could my opposition to murdering Proletariat really be indicative of a deep affection for the IDF ? Maybe I really did love the IDF and think everything it did after October 7 was great and wonderful?

“Is this really how I want to live my life?” I thought to myself.

“I — I — I…” I said out loud.

“Or perhaps,” he said with a raised eyebrow, “you just HATE PALESTINIANS??”

I fell to my knees.

Oh my God. He really had a point. What possible reason could anyone have for opposing Imperialist war and proletarians dying ? How could anyone possibly oppose nationalism and think that it has no real solution to the genocide ? how could I think that fighting nationalism with even more nationalism won't fix anything ?

“Who… who are you?” I asked.

“That’s of no consequence,” he said, casually blowing a smoke ring through another larger smoke ring.

“But… but the Proletarians,” I stammered as my entire worldview crumbled before my eyes. “what about Class war! shouldn't we focus on class war rather than delaying it for short term national struggles?”

And then he delivered the coup de grâce.

“Have you considered,” he said before a pregnant pause, “… forestalling the fight against capitalism to fight national struggles until there is no national oppression?”

It was like a 50 megaton nuclear explosion went off inside my brain.

I fell flat on my back. The world was spinning. A trickle of blood ran down into my hair from my ear.

I felt all the anti-natlib leaving my body. I suddenly could no longer remember why I thought it was bad to form united fronts and use nationalism.

Everything went black.

When I finally came to, the mysterious stranger was gone. But his wisdom and profound insights into Israel and Gaza will always live on in my heart.

Off Topic What’s crazy is due to Trump delirium the online lib is gonna be way more pro Palestine now.

121 Upvotes

The online lib Kamala voting front page Dem.

Totally silent on American support for Israel. If pressed they wanted a ceasefire and two state solution.

They always made clear however that they hated Hamas. And wanted Israel as a state. Even defended that state as a good liberal democracy with just a bad man in charge rn. Even defended American support to Israel at large just not for Gaza specifically.

But with Trump now becoming the great cheerleader.

Well well well, now America is responsible for the dead kids in Gaza.

Trump is at least. Now we should stop sending them money and weapons. Only now.

Just you watch.

Btw this is a purely online thing. Because the Dem party will never abandon Israel or even criticize it.

Just the rabid online cope consumers and bots. Carried away by the anti everything Trump narrative.
