BTW, while I want and need financial support, I think I make it pretty clear with my content that I'm not a money chaser, at least not much of one. If I was I wouldn't put up my critique of the US left, whatever that is anymore. I'm not averse to pissing people off and struggling with them to take an unflattering look in the mirror. The US left has very little to pat itself on the back about at this point. I'm a revolutilon chaser mainly and we will not get where I want us to get witnout us pulling out of these 21 pathologies, many if not must of which I know from inside.
No one should take pleasure in the deaths of our class siblings, regardless of country. Proletarian leadership means leadership for the interests of the class as a global whole. Intellectuals are welcome for their ability to analyze the situation, using the best empirical and logical methods from a many-sided examination of the facts; dialectics includes the scientific method.
Intellectuals are far more than welcome, comrade; they are essential. The notion of a socialist revolutions without intellectuals is of course absurd. There's scientific dialectics and there's unscientific dialectics.
Well, I would call capitlaism capitalism-imperialism and I would say this is the underlying system that has generated 4 interreated and mutually reinforcing apocalypic horsemen (we'll stay with the male gender to captuire patriarchy) staring humanity in the face in the third decade of the 21st Century: ecocide, nuclear war, pandemicide, and fascism.
Eugene Puryear has left me feeling more than a little confused when he takes up certain subjects. Thanks for pointing out his recent statements. Yet another organization I should probably not support. I would be interested in your thoughts about Brian Becker who is important figure in the Party for Socialism and Liberation and Answer coalition. I am learning a lot from your work, thanks.
Is that the person who wrote a PSL book on the US and Israel? I'll have to read it I guess or at least give it a once over. Don't know them. My main experiences with the PSL are them absurdly refusing to say the the word "women" during abortion rights demos, very unradically trumpeting a useless liberal and un-passable Dem abortion rights bill, and generally being very bad and passive in outreach.
Yes he wrote Palestine, Israel and the U.S. Empire by Richard Becker, I was not aware of the book. I know him from the Socialist Program podcast that has a Patreon acct and he talks to Eugene Puryear and Rania Khalek on BreakThrough News a lot. If you don't know much about PSL then hardly anybody does, I just happened to stumble on Beckers podcast and he apparently helped start PSL. Max Blumenthal has said the organization is not good at relating to average Americans, just like you explained ,and that they wont have anything to do with people who have right wing views even thought they might agree on a certain subject like ending a war. Principles are more important than results, is the bottom line for them I guess.
Paul when your up to you neck in alligators it's hard to remember your initial objective was to drain the swamp. With the distractions of the middle east, in Ukraine , china, Taiwan, climate global warming, etc. etc. etc.
