"Israel has the right to defend itself"

Being part of Empire's ruling class has made this motherfucker only master rhetoric, who while being in bed with shitlibs & fascists ("can work with both sides of the aisle") role plays as an "outsider" (to fool people) & despite being his age, havent grown as a human being. That's what power does to people — no matter who we are.

He is still uttering shit like "Israel has the right to defend itself" with a straight face out in the open — which is a euphemism to justify genocide — with the cult cheering him on. I dont think he called what that settler-colonial fascist apartheid entity is doing as genocide.

He is the despicable face ruling class wears to legitimize itself while committing atrocities. His kind always existed & will continue to exist to undermine any forceful resistance to ruling class violence. All they want is "perfect victim" i.e those who suffer while everyone pretend to care while the victim stays under perpetual suffering.

Job of someone like him is to undermine the right of oppressed to get rid of the oppression they are subjected to — by any means necessary. Job of his kind from ruling class is to attacks any real resistance oppressed show i.e eliminate all threats to his class's ability to commit crimes without any forceful pushback.

What a piece of shit & what an ignorant bunch.

How far-right is so called "center" in Israel?

This is a point (they use different words but mean the same) I have seen mentioned by Palestinians & Jewish Israelis who pay far close attention to that society.

It's definately worth repeating because the so called "centrists" & "liberals" in Israel (Defenders of so called "Democracy") who were (likely are still) politically attacking genocidal right from their right, now want to take a strategic break from committing genocide because the genocidal right they were in bed with is not strategic enough in committing genocide in such visible manner.

If it was upto these "moderates", they would have ensured the same dispossession, apartheid & genocide, but would have committed them in a more orderly & clandestine manner, with even better PR than the openly genocidal right of Nethanyahu.

Came across this discussion today.

Anarchist perspectives about Palestinian oppression from Feb.

Something worth paying attention to tho I have my own reservations about some views mentioned here about the role of religion (and redefinition of few religious terms which I am not convinced by) & few additional bits about "organic" anarchism, but nevertheless it's important to absorb & if not convinced counter some of the views (I have multiple points I am not convinced by).

Need for self-defence know-how in public domain

I am sure some other anarchists might have already mentioned this (I dont know & cant remember), but towards the beginning of this genocide it occurred to me & I mentioned too.

The primary reason why Palestinians are oppressed (by extension everyone else who are oppressed across the world) is because they are systematically denied the tools of self-defence to free themselves of the oppression.

The reason why this genocide is going on now is because there is no deterrence for the oppressor (genocidal entity) for commiting the crimes its committing.

If Palestinians had weapons, this fascist entity would have never dared to commit the crimes it has been committing for nearly a century.

One thing is a given. Every oppressed population would want to fight back for their dignity incl Palestinians, but they are systematically denied the tools to defend themselves & one of the most important thing they need is weapons.

All "political solutions" without them having access to tools of self-defence will only be oppression with another name.

For those who dream of a society without oppression, without State, without Capital, without all other systems of domination (Fascism/Racism/Misogyny/Casteism/Religion/…), one of the most important thing is public dissemination of knowledge of weapon manufacturing.

Even in theory its impossible to emancipate without weapons when the enemy have them, this enemy not just some but have warehouses of them with an industrial pipeline filling its supply lines, while its oppressed have none.

The reason why State has "export controls", marks details as "classified"/"state secrets", makes its industries hide all of this under "know how", "trade secrets" (using the intellectual property scam), criminalises weapon manufacturing that it doesn't control is mainly because it wants its primary enemies (people it rules over) to not have any mechanism of self-defence to fight back.

This way it can oppress "peacefully" while in the best case all its victims are allowed to do is "protest" aka so called "freedom of speech", … i.e go & shout till you exhaust yourself & nothing more.

Short on empathy

Thanks to the genocidal entity & the suffering many of us went & are going thru (no where comparable to Palestinian suffering but suffering nevertheless, we can only fathom the unimaginable suffering they are going thru), I am quite short on empathy.

Entity massacring 200+ Palestinians & rescuing 4 hostages & signing death sentence for many other hostages Palestinian resistance (Hamas & others) hold now, only made me hate the entity even more, not less.

Those who are celebrating this genocidal act needs to look at themselves in the mirror.

This fascist European settler-colonial apartheid entity is the enemy — not a mere ruling class thug & his gang of criminals at the top (they are mere finger on the trigger, not the hand), who are executing the genocidal will of a sizable chunk of that rotten society (which is the real hand enabling the finger to pull the trigger).

This genocidal entity has no legitimacy just because it murdered more than 200, injured hundreds more & so it can "rescue" 4 people (many of them are not good people ­— many being footsoldiers of apartheid & for rest based on mere statistics of that society & where they are living — outposts of settler-colony).

Whether a Palestinian State is formed or not, whether its a single state/two states/some other form, for all that the fascist entity & most of those who condoned (or) encouraged this genocide within that entity, neither rest of the world nor Palestinians will forgive it & them.

What all of us have witnessed so far wont be resolved thru backdoor deals or by singing kumbaya.

A rational person would conclude: There will be blood — once genocide ends.

The less bloody option is ruling class crooks across the world hanging the top level thugs of this entity thru "prosecution". But as we all know — that's very unlikely to happen, as the entity knows there is a symbiotic relationship between itself & its masters, which is the primary underlying reason why its did what it did in the past before Oct 7th, since Oct 7th & continuing to do now.

An interesting read:

Letter of this USAID lawyer wrote after being forced to resign after he wanted to speak about the consequences of what the fascist genocidal entity is doing with Empire's support.

Empire now finds using the worlds like Palestine, what borders of Israel are after the demon started its genocide.

> One day before I was to present, however, I received from leadership a list of words I was forbidden to say, including “Israel-Gaza border,” “Palestinian state,” and “Palestinians” in reference to Palestinian/Arab citizens of Israel who identify as Palestinians. I was also told that a UN OCHA map of Gaza which accurately describes the 2022 borders was
“unacceptable.”

PS: Just ignore portions of his deluded view of USAID, which unlike his imaginary version, in reality is Empire's vehicle to expand its imperialism.

An important development about the European genocidal settler-colonial apartheid entity.

As a reward for the entity destroying most to all hospitals in Gaza, in addition to its continuous butchering & maiming so many Palestinians, Entity's masters in Europe (literally & openly) put forward the entity's name for the executive board position of World Health Organisation (WHO).

Now this fascist entity won a 3 year term 2024–2027 & sits on the board of WHO.

In case if you are wondering under which geographical region this settler colony is listed under, its listed under Europe.

This entity participates in Euro Vision, propped up by racist European ruling class everywhere, but most colonists & settlers who migrated there tell us they are "indigenous".

Suffering doesnt grant anyone the legitimacy start lying to steal from other people by siding with one's own ruling class nor the legitimacy to dehumanise & kill other people.

Solidarity is based on fairness. Anyone who want/demand exception for themselves from fairness rules are operating from bad-faith from get go.

Half-dead Nazi zombie & his so called "ceasefire" proposal is:

Why dont you release all hostages & for the period of the so called "ceasefire proposal" period we will not murder you & release a small portion of your hostages in our "legal detention" i.e entity's torture chambers.

As soon as you released all our hostages we will murder you into oblivion. Why don't you agree for "ceasefire".

Even if one hates one's enemy with all of one's heart, if the enemy is honest about their intentions, atleast that being honest about how depraved they are is respect worthy quality, tho we hate their being.

But shitlib fucks no such quality. Overall, they are there to do same or even more harm (as they last longer with their deranged lies & soothe indoctrinated populace with thier sweet tongue & vile heart politics) than fascists, while lying about almost everything. Thier whole existence is a lie.

Taken as a whole they are the real & potent enemy that people need to fight. Fascists will anyway be fought as they generate revulsion in any half decent person, but shitlibs are the real enemy as they are more nefarious in their tactics than fascists. They aid & abet fascists while feigning ignorance about or claim to be on the opposite side of fascists, when in reality they are buddies.

What kind of peace?

Graveyard is also very "peaceful" i.e all you hear is silence.

Also, once we physically eliminate those who opposes our domination (or) silence them so thoroughly they are forced to know their place is also called "peace" — not just by ruling class but the so called "peace activists".

Would any person who cares about one's & next person's dignity be for that kind of "peace"?

There are always situations where we don't get what we do want & it's okay to acknowledge we don't get what we want, yet we swallow it because we are forced into such a situation & the dominating class has the power to make our lives even more miserable if we don't accept this kind of "peace".

It's okay to acknowledge the fact that there is no dignity in any system of hierarchy as dignity is a egalitarian concept (atleast the definition that deals with self-respect). The moment this moves from self-respect to feeling oppressed because they are not under our thumb, then it's about domination not self-respect. The line is thin & hard to distinguish but the line exits.

What passes off as "dignity" by those with power against those without power in today's system of hierarchy are all entitlements of domination euphemistically called "dignity".

The least we can do is stop lying to oneself that keeping next person under our thumb is actually peace.

We had enough this kind of "peace" without dignity thru out history & even now in every system of hierarchy — some far more visible than others but they are omni present.

What we need is not peace of graveyard but fight of dignity & real peace that flows when no one can oppress anyone else — even if one of us want to.

Such peace cannot be granted by anyone rather it has to be taken by us, one that we guarantee to each other, one that flows horizontally rather than vertically. Such peace won't come without actual physical fight with the proponents & beneficiaries of this vertical form of domination i.e "peace" as they lose the ability to dominate & control when this other non-dominating form of peace is established.

What we need is this non-dominating horizontal form of peace, I will kick you in nuts if you attempt to/actually dominate kind of peace.

What we need is the peace of Anarchy.

Equations of legitimacy

Here are barely controversial beliefs.

1. Palestinians have legitimate right to unleash force against Hamas & Palestinian Authority to free themselves of oppression they are subjected to by their ruling classes.
2. Israelis have legitimate right to unleash force against their ruling class to free themselves of oppression they are subjected to by their ruling class.

That's the easy part.

Now to the challenging part (in my book).

1. Both Palestinians & Radical Palestinians (Hamas & rest) have legitimate right to unleash force against their oppressors.
2. Both Palestinians & Radical Palestinians (Hamas & rest) have legitimate right to unleash force against some beneficiaries of oppression.
3. Both Palestinians & Radical Palestinians (Hamas & rest) have legitimate right to unleash force against all beneficiaries of oppression.

Each of us draw our lines at various points within our own moral map & they wont ever align — which is good as we can hold each other to account when either of us deviate too far (or) enabling more harm than good with our dogma.

In my book, the moment Hamas loses legitimacy is the moment it starts exercising power only for the sake of having its authority (which it very well is & has been in many contexts — thats there for everyone to see).

The moment it actually acquires power, its automatically an enemy in my book. Even now, its an enemy but an enemy that nonetheless have legitimacy of its own, that's derived from it being a Palestinian resistance — as it has oppressors of its own.

Ofcourse, I too want the Anarchist society of the future where there are no Hamas, no Genocidal entity, no Empire, no dictatorships (so called "Democracies") each of us live in.

But those rules that are applicable then are not applicable now. Goes without saying: Where its not unreasonable to apply those exact rules without harming long-term vision (building the new in the shell of the old), we should follow it.

But being religious i.e rigid about one's ever evolving morality without us anywhere near or likelihood of reaching that future saner society of vision, rigidity will foreclose many effective options & makes it near impossible for us to reach there.

Yes, two wrongs dont make right - only as a rule of thumb, not applicable to every situation.

If you oppress others (or) are a beneficiary of oppression, know that you/someone you care about will pay the price for the oppression you engaged in. Then the options we are weighing in are: Cost of not taking action vs Cost of taking action.

In summary, My personal morality as of now (evolving always just like yours):

Be pragmatic yet be grounded to the principles you believe in.

PS: The imprecise sketch I drew represents sections of Israeli society. Its relevant to our societies too in a narrow way.

Political moves of ICC

While announcing the decision to ask judges to confirm if he (the prosecutor) can issue arrest warrants against ruling classes of Hamas & Israel, what that puppet of Empire at International Criminal Court (ICC) explicitly emphasized is "Principle of Complementarity" i.e Allowing the genocidal entity to prosecute its own criminals so ICC can wash off its hands.

The puppet did not even allege the Crime of of Genocide (Article 6) against genocidal entity's ruling class. Whats Israel is being prosecuted in the other court --- International Court of Justice (ICJ) --- is for genocide & its somehow not being brought up here.

Genocidal entity has committed every crime Hamas is alleged & more. But somehow there are unique crimes that are alleged against just Hamas.

That's not an oversight. Its deliberate & intentional.

I mentioned in the past that I dont see an iota of evidence that any of these genocidal thugs will ever be brought to Justice.

Even after today's announcement by Empire's puppet court ICC that it requests Judicial overlords (appointed by ruling class) to grant the permission to issue arrest warrants, I still don't think we will ever see any Justice actually be done.

Here is a comparison I made against the crimes alleged.

It goes without saying, only time will tell what are the exact variables ruling classes are operating under behind closed doors, but I am not at all hopeful.

"The good guys"

Establishment rag NYT ran a propaganda piece of State thugs of the Nazi entity Israel about how the "good guys" in the genocidal entity's criminal gang i.e "law enforcement" are not allowed to do their job by the "bad guys", when in reality the whole existence of that genocidal entity is predicated on stealing, lying, kidnapping, torture, murder, ethnic cleansing & dispossessing weak.

The ruling class convenient fiction of "good guys" within administrative state not being allowed to do their job i.e washing off ones crimes by shifting the blame onto others while still benefiting from statusquo is a time tested strategy ruling class dishes out to please the shitlibs.

Their argument is: Only if you allowed us "the good guys" to torture Jewish terrorists just like how we torture Palestinians (whether terrorists or not), we could have made the colonialisation more tolerable.

This is the argument I hear all the time from the rotten criminals who got retired as head of police & army about fascists who hold power in our shithole.

Interconnected: Oppression & Solidarity

Recent announcement by Spain's ruling class that they denied docking of a ship carrying arms to the genocidal Nazi regime from Hindu fascist regime has motivated me to see what I can find about the relationships between Fascists across the globe, their masters — States & Capitalists, some obvious deceptions so called "left" I have seen engaged in, along with the interconnected nature of Oppression (as much as Solidarity).

One of the genocidal entity's main arms manufacturers Elbit systems has its wings spread quite wide. While its facing some heat in UK by Palestine Action, its using its other collaborators in India, Czech Republic & other places to feed the genocidal machine.

Third world is an excellent place for ruling class to keep a fallback option as, in 3rd world ruling class are even worse than Empire's ruling class, as impunity is even more brazen than in 1st world. Any resistance — however timid — only happens in sudden outbursts of anger, which gets suppressed with even more ruthless thuggery than in 1st world — thanks to so called "democracies" that are implanted there by Empires & also due to lack of space for a community to grow resistance against their own ruling classes.

Since India is run by a Nazi-inspired Hindu fascist party (and gaslighting equally thuggish shitlib political parties) definitely serves as good extension of right-wing fascist collaboration world wide. With this fascist collaboration, the genocidal Nazi regime's supply chains are now extended to both West & East, with Czech Republic seems to be playing an equally important role along with India.

Since India is oppressing Kashmiris as long as Israel is oppressing Palestinians, both are run by openly fascist ruling class thugs that proclaim themselves to be so called "Democracies" i.e colonial entities (engaged in colonisation of other people since their violent inception) sees themselves as natural allies & find it in their interest to see themselves as extension of Empire that can continue their oppression with little resistance so long as they play the ball with Empire.

India for a longtime thruout its so called "non-aligned existence" had shitlibs with rhetoric as ruling class, who bred current fascists that rule it now. Its ruling class masked its colonial existence with 3rd world rhetoric of "non-alignment" while furthering fascist interests for all practical purposes, with active help from so called Indian "left".

There was some bullshit announcements made by Indian "worker unions" (which are largely political party fiefdoms, with none having any independent street muscle that can confront ruling class on any issue of prominence — even for their own survival let alone for anyone else) who made proclamations about not handling cargo destined for Israel who are nowhere to be found in real world beyond the paper pronouncement they made.

Indian "left" (broadly an extension of so called "communist" political parties, which are nothing but shitlib parties with left rhetoric & authoritarian cults) have mastered the art of primarily doing nothing but PR for Western leftist consumption — when they are faced with event with worldwide impact, while being Shitlib adjacent interms of economic world view & Authoritarian interms of State policy.

I saw an announcement from them a while back which is nothing but a PR stunt just so those who cant verify claims can assume there is some on the ground resistance to genocide, when there is none.

This article is published in a fascist rag (Tabletmag) written by Observer Research Foundation (ORF) — one of the PR agent aka "thinktank" of one of the India's robber baron (billionaire). This article gives some clue as to how ruling class criminals & their agents see themselves as relating to each other.

Organised oppression has far more reliable real world supply chains, while Solidarity has very little real-world presence ­— let alone being reliable.

The "outsider"

The "outsider" narrative is not just ruling class narrative, it's has significant currency amongst our comrades too who with their 1st draft thoughts decided Hamas are outsiders to Palestinians, who think Palestinians needs to be saved, but Hamas (one of the primary Palestinian resistance thats willing to fight their oppressors physically) needs to be eliminated this Nazi regime because "security".

I will write a detailed post later once I find sometime why that position is mistaken (I am still composing my arguments against that easy position to take).

What they are advocating is destroying the primary resistance of Palestine against Nazis they are dealing with. I can't speak for Palestinians as I am not one, but from what I know from our own history, what some of our comrades who are "disgusted" by Hamas apologia (in my book they still have legitimacy for the substantive portion of what they did) are falling to recognise is this:

They (even I) are not living there. They have not endured what every member of Hamas (yes they are Palestinians too, which some of refuse to see because of slaughter Hamas engaged in) have endured. Just because we say Free Palestine, Palestinians won't be freed from the subjugation by Nazis. The slaughter won't stop.

Without that resistance Hamas, what Palestinians will have post genocide is a take it or leave it deal (if they are not expelled completely outside Palestine by Nazis) written by Nazi regime, imposed by Empire & their agent Palestine Authority while some of us go & shout how unfair & wrong it is.

Just because we too are vulnerable doesn't mean their crimes are forgivable. Just like a dog that keeps biting others needs to treated, these sick fucks do need psychiatric treatment & definately our contempt wherever we encounter them.

So long as there is no real physical resistance to thier crimes, all we see are more videos like that video where a medical practitioner was trying to figure which body parts of a child go where (you will come across that on hell site, I am not posting it here intentionally) or these sick fucks celebrating the sounds of bombardment about 60-70kms away.

While ruling class has the interest to ensure the genocide happens "peacefully" without peasants fighting back, there is also one more important thing that's going on now — esp amongst fellow comrades in the West.

One of the reason for the brutalisation even when people are not physically fighting back is show who the real boss is. Esp who the real boss is within the physical spaces outside tiny private fiefdoms State calls "private property". Streets & all space outside these tiny fiefdoms/enclosures some are allowed to be transient "owner" of, are the areas where State exerts it's domination esp streets & all publicly visible areas.

We the peasants are allowed to make all sorts of assumptions the so called "rights" ruling class allowed us to pretend we are entitled to, while not seriously testing that belief ever.

Since some of us forget that this is a mere pretence & sometimes try and assert this "constitutional" pretence, ruling class is simply trying to tell everyone this:

You can delude yourself all you want about your "rights", so long as you know your place. If you stop deluding yourself & if you do act, you know what's coming to you.

Don't fall for divide-and-rule strategy

Anyone who is talking about what % of protesters are "peaceful" i.e 99% or 99.9% or any other percent have not seriously thought about what they are arguing.

They are wilfully falling into the trap ruling class laid right for them.

Ruling class is the violent thug thats butchering people, it's while legitimacy is built on brutalising people & it doesn't have any legitimacy to talk about so called "violence".

Those who incessantly get worried about proving victims are not "violent" i.e they are not engaging in self-defense acts to stop the crimes of State are only giving legitimacy to the only form of protest thats done to save ones own conscience & if others do escalate (that definately did lot of net good based on history, tho some people were harmed) only makes those who take real risk to do some good more vulnerable & prepares them for condemnation.

It's a mistaken view IMO, even if it comes from the right place. That argument harms others & divides people into "good protestors" who don't do anything beyond getting beaten up & allow the genocidal thug to go rampant (vs) the "bad protestors" who actual take far more real risk, falling for & buttressing the ruling class divide-and-rule strategy.

If one doesn't want to be part of it, that's fine. Giving legitimacy to that ruling class argument only throws other good people under the bus if they engage in direct action.

Hannibal is alive & well

There might be minor crimes/one-off major crimes that Nazi regime commits on its own without consulting its master — the head of the snake. But for every major decision the Nazi regime makes, its counting on the tacit support of Empire's genocidal half-dead Nazi zombie.

If that Nazi zombie's support doesn't exist, his goon in middle east would fold very quickly.

If genocide escalates, looks like it is as the Nazi regime few mins back asserted they will destroy whoever & whatever they can get their hands on in Rafah — even after Hamas said it agrees to ceasefire deal, even if that means signing Nazis signing death warrant of Israelis in the hands of Hamas.

That Nazi regime took on itself not just the power to sign death warrant of Palestinians (which it has done for 70-100 years) but also the death warrants of Israelis, which it has proven with Hannibal doctrine brutally murdering everyone incl Israelis by bombing everyone, but now by asserting its going to attack Rafah even if that means dead bodies of Israelis that will never be found.

On Nazis & so called "non-violence"

In the best case, the punishment for butchering 1000 people is same as butchering a 100,000 people.

If one is evil, if they want to slaughter thousand, it makes sense to slaughter as much as feasible in one go, which is what that Nazi regime is doing now.

In this case, there is not even an iota of evidence that the ruling class Nazis from Israel would ever come anywhere near to facing bare minimum of Justice i.e getting hung for their crimes, thanks to Empire — the biggest evil there is & all the racist Western accomplices of this Nazi regime.

This slaughter wont stop because of so called "non-violence". While Gandhi was preaching & making backdoor deals with British Empire on behalf of India's rich; British Empire & Gandhi's disciples were slaughtering others in the street. Ruling class like Gandhi & parade him because he is of one of them & was willing to sell rest of society so rich within India got a sweet deal — which is what ultimately happened.

There was violence even during so called Gandhi's "non-violent" struggle, but its countless faceless people whose names we don't know that faced the brunt of it, not Gandhi. He took credit for sacrifice of countless unnamed others who were brutalised/eliminated.

Gandhi was the PR man for ruling class then & he is the PR man of ruling class now, as all ruling class wants is our submission (or) meek petitions to beg them to stop which they can ignore & make us docile.

So, those who push for "Peace" & get outraged about so called "violent" protest i.e self-defence of society against rotten & criminal ruling class have the burden to stop the most violent thug in every society whose crimes are unmatched i.e State.

This is becoming more & more true now.

The Na** genocidal regime already started its assault on Rafah (full blown/not is not yet stated) & is already circulating Hunger Games maps on who need to move where within Gaza (i.e move them slightly north of Rafah that they already destroyed, not actual North, which is something they mentioned long back) they placed murderers along the path where past news was: Men wont be allowed to move anywhere i.e ready for slaughter.

Empire cleared some student encampments so students can be stopped from escalating within while the Empire's thug can the pace of genocide more openly.

Based on current trend, we have quite dark days ahead.

Placing the blame where it belongs

Not Nethanyahu, not Hamas, its Israeli society which is the guilty party for everything that's going on.

Nethanyahu is the product of the uncontested fascism that pervaded that society since its inception.

Hamas is the product of the level of vileness that society condoned & incentivised since this settler colony's birth thru ethnic cleansing.

Those trying to push the blame onto Nethanyahu by making this disingenuous argument

Israeli are victims of Nethanyahu

Gazans are victims of Hamas

are simply trying to give cover for the rotten culture & crimes normalised in that rotten society (yes thats what it is now).

Its true that State, Capital, Fascism, Empire, and other intersecting systems of domination are responsible too, but those cannot take away the guilt of society that consciously chosing to dehumanise & dispossess.

NOTE:

Since my argument has the likelihood of being misconstrued as something else, I just want to emphasise, a society doesn't imply every person in society. I am only speaking about what a large section of tolerates & perpetuates.

Every society has good & bad people, but when speak about societies we are speaking about the dominant culture, never individuals — as I am sure there are many good people even in a society as rotten as Israel.

Our society is quite rotten (closeted-Israel) & we are as capable of & in some places are as rotten as them — as we are no different, but we are not yet at their level only due to historical coincidence, not because non-Israeli societies are any better. We all are vulnerable to the same pulls & pushes of societies we inhabit.

So called "leadership"

Another BS agreement being celebrated from UC Riverdale as "deal" with literally no tangible commitment on anything.

Please stop celebrating so called "deals" achieved thru "peaceful negotiation" unless you see the actual text.

If PR precedes the actual details, agreement is likely to be BS. If "deals" are agreed through closed door negotiation ­— as opposed to publicly contested & voted, they are guaranteed to be dogshit.

The culture of so called "leadership" (self-appointed/imposed) exists to usurp/sell off agency of others. If one is not aware of tactics of ruling class, they will simply waste the leverage they have outside by falling for trickery & sign on something with closed door so called "leadership" negotiation i.e professional managerial class (PMC) trickery.

Text of the so called "concession" is below.

The substantive part is:

We will form some BS committee with no actual commitment.

This is the "deal" people are celebrating. Completely unserious stuff.

If you agree to simply accept whatever your opponent places on table, not what you want, you will always get a "deal" — however shit it is.

Full text of agreement:

---

The signatories agree to the following amended terms:

• All currently public information on UC’s investments will be posted to the UCR campus website. It will continue to be updated as the UC releases more information. The goal is to get full disclosure of the list of companies in the portfolio and the size of the investments.

• The UCR Administration agrees to form a task force that includes students appointed by ASUCR’s Diversity Council and faculty appointed by the Academic Senate to explore the removal of UCR’s endowment from the management of the UC Investments Office, and the investment of said endowment in a manner that will be financially and ethically sound for the university with consideration to the companies involved in arms manufacturing and delivery. The goal of this task force is to produce a report to present to the UCR Foundation Board of Trustees by the end of Winter Quarter 2025. The task force will be formed by the end of the Spring 2024 quarter.

• Commitment to bimonthly meetings with the AVC of Auxiliary Services and an ongoing review of Sabra Hummus consistent with existing product review processes until we can find a resolution.

• The School of Business has discontinued Global Programs in Oxford, USA, Cuba, Vietnam, Brazil, China, Egypt, Jordan, and Israel.

• UCR will modify its approval process for all study abroad programs to ensure compliance with UC’s Anti-Discriminatory Policies.

Death by a committee

Looks like various administrators are following various tactics to avoid doing anything about genocide now.

Some using State's baton/gun & some deception.

This is of the later kind.

> … companies that profit from “the occupation of Palestinian territories.”

> The two committees will make policy recommendations by fall 2024, after which the college will consider implementing them no later than spring 2026.

They are going to "consider", not implement. Not divestment from Israel but companies that profit from those benefiting from "Palestinian territories".

They have 2 more years to do this when there is no immediate pressure to implement, as there will be other crimes ruling class will engage in by then & no one will pay any attention if its thrown into dustbin then.

These are not victories, these are the tactics of someone who is not serious to give any concession. These are professional managerial class "victories" i.e nothing burgers, barring rare exceptions.

The only tangible concession one gets now is real. Everything else driven by committees are simply unserious & goal is ensure pressure is off their back now.

Web of lies they weave

The reason why students of every generation by & large (with minuscule exceptions to this rule) fight the reactionary status-quo is very simple.

Unlike many of us who learnt to make an uneasy peace with statusquo — even tho we hate it — students are not yet fully corrupted by the rotten written & unwritten rules/conventions shitlibs legitimized & impose on everyone, where every element of societal domination accompanies an obfuscatory & gaslighting rhetoric with legalism backing it. Since shitlibs are broadly the brains of statusquo (write the laws or have a major influence in written laws), legalism is not such a challenging task for them.

For some of us — either from personal experience (or) read experiences of others (or) know others who are forced to see the true face of status quo (not the one main-stream peddles or even alt-stream peddles, but the real face we see in radical-stream), we know that the most effective evil force backing statusquo is shitlibs.

Some of us made our peace with statusquo knowing it's too big & too hard to influence as the enemy is too powerful, even tho we express our anger at regular intervals. For some of us, the pain from the wound is always there, even tho we chose to distract ourselves with other activities — else we will have no peace of mind & no life.

Everyone understands the thuggery of fascists quite easily without much effort, as fascists are brutally honest about who they really are — Evil. They will have lot of dogshit accompanying their imaginary — and bigoted — grievances, but atleast they revel in their devilry openly. But shitlibs are the upholders & enablers of this system of ever present fascist thuggery, masterminds who build legitimacy to this rotten system which fascists can always threaten with barely any effort.

Since the threat from fascists is ever present — thanks to shitlibs who build legitimacy & are co-beneficiaries of this rotten system, shitlibs feign ignorance about the help they provide fascists, tell everyone that the moustache twirling fascists (who are friends of shitlibs) are evil, claim they are fighting fascists & force everyone else into making concessions to them. Their argument is: If you dont support us, you are supporting our friends (fascists) i.e they threaten everyone with fascist violence. The thing is, both fascists & shitlibs threaten with fascist violence, in two different ways.

Fascists: We abuse viciously.

Shitlibs: You take our abuse, or else (threat being: our friends Fascists will abuse you)

Fascists definitely attack with even more viciousness than shitlibs, but fascists show the devilry of statusquo openly & everyone in society can easily comprehend whats going on. Whether fascists force most in society into submission (or) they wakeup the dormant contempt & outrage in rest of society, which forces fascists to back off is something only time will tell — depending on how society reacts to fascists*.

In the case of students, statusquo has not yet forced them into submission like it did our generation & all past generations. They still have a purer heart than us for that exact reason. They will be corrupted just like us if statusquo prevails, but lets hope the web of lies statusquo weaves are exposed by many of us — in our own tiny ways, reach enough people who are willing to critically examine the underlying forces rather than doing surface level analysis, such that students (next gen) have a better chance to save their souls from corruption unlike us.

• In our shithole, as of now, fascists have no force opposing, thanks to shitlib criminality who enabled fascists long enough & centralized power in the hands of State & Capital, with us reduced to mere button-pressing (voting) machines who can be subjected to semi-organized Fascist & organised State "constitutional" thuggery.

Looks like* they set a deadline for escalating the genocide in Gaza on May 10th§.

Which is one explanation as to why Shitlib–Fascist combine have such urgency to escalate physical attacks so quickly — showing their cards so openly, which they usually are careful not show.

State goons & Fascists are rushing to clear student encampments violently now because genocidal half-dead Nazi zombie doesnt want anyone to escalate within Empire if & when his fascist dog in Middle East escalates & attacks Rafah — dialling-up the knob of his genocidal death machine.

In essence: Half-dead Nazi zombie wants his buddy to commit genocide in "Peace" — if & when it materialises.

§ With option to delay genocide little longer if Hamas agrees to "hostage deal". Hamas agreed to Hostage deal in Oct itself, but this "deal" is not about stopping genocide but delaying genocidal attack by few more days — so, it can be conducted with even more ruthlessness than before, as then every murdered person is guaranteed to be a Palestinian.

• This is my extrapolation based on something I have seen mention on @readytoescalate on hellsite.

Lessons from practice

> Encampments are liberated zones; they should not reproduce authoritarianism, capitalism, or any other form of oppression. Camp security teams should not replace the police with whoever can buy a vest and megaphone at Home Depot. Campers should not feel pressure to ask for permission from “leadership” to act. Decisions should be made autonomously wherever possible, or else by consensus. We must trust and love each other enough to coexist without hierarchy.

Practice always beats the most well written theory. Altho theory & guesswork help us in the absence of action usually with rule of thumbs i.e to know what happened & whats likely going to happen, but its never a substitute for actual practice.

PS: Yes, I am aware that I am starting obvious. But sometimes putting thoughts into words helps when it comes to self-therapy.

Being content with pittance

It's perfectly okay for people to not take the risk they are not comfortable with.

But insisting on celebrating a nothing burger from some of the student groups is just coping.

If I wrote 100 items on a list of demand that are not heart of a dispute, that ruling class allows me to "win" on, with no commitment on the actual substantive purpose of the protest — that 1 or 2 things, that's a straightforward loss, no matter the spin.

Some of these "wins" being celebrated as "wins" are just the same "wins" shitlibs already gave before. Symbolic not substantive.

It's exactly same as them agreeing to dropping food from above (sometimes on people's heads) while simultaneously dropping bombs to kill.

Getting agreement on former is nothing to celebrate. Getting substantive concession on later is what matters.

When the "leadership" i.e Professional Managerial Class (PMC) gets involved, this is exactly what happens. Getting no substantive concession on divestment but getting some symbolic stuff is just theatre.

No one can predict the future, but there are always educated guesses one can make based on history, as its a brutal teacher that doesn't care about being diplomatic.

Given the trend, it's only a matter of time before ruling class kills someone to send a message to everyone — to stop resisting.

They already attempted once, they will try again.

So called "reasonable adults"

Pay close attention to what he implies but doesnt say.

Shitlib fucks like this are as bad as the fascist scum — as fascists show their colours openly where as these preachy fuckers portray themselves as the "reasonable adults" while pushing the "both sides" argument.

Our enemy calling us names is perfectly fine because the contrast is clear & we know where we stand. But the disgusting argument of there are legitimate arguments on both sides (literally enabling genocide) but we need to ensure we "balance it [genocide]" is what substantive portion of argument is i.e our goon killed too many, so we better stop killing more as it looks bad & may its too much cognitive dissonance to process at once.

I am sure this "reasonable adult in the room" (the "centrist"/so called "progressive" kind) also thinks Empire is better than North Korea (taking his own example). North Korean State despite being a despicable thug is nothing compared to the crimes of Empire — once you put on a balance the crimes of Empire vs Crimes of Kim Jong Un/his ancestors. Both are filth but North Korean thug is a lesser filth than Empire.

Holding that "noble" world view is what they call being a "reasonable adult".

Criminal nexus in the open

At UCLA, looks like State goons shot someone in the face, in additional brutalising the rest of students violently.

Despite me being a pessimist (largely due to the stuff I read & experiences of others I personally heard in real life), I assumed they would start blood letting little later once they find a more opportune time (thru instigation & rest of tactics they have at their disposal), as only a day before they exposed themselves as an extension of fascist thuggery, but no, they realised its an opportunity to start attacking students right away. They are making me look like an optimist.

In essence, they sent the fascist goons to attack the day before, so they can come prepared to attack themselves a day later.

State–Capital–Fascist nexus is materialising sooner than we expect.

Fascism never dies a silent death. Capital never dies a silent death. State never dies a silent death

On Street muscle

One of the essential element to defend oneself against State & Fascist goon squads is by having squads of self defence of our own i.e building street muscle.

However unlike both of those two authoritarian squads, this is structured in a completely non-hierarchical manner thats born in solidarity with loyalty only to truth & one's conscience which respects autonomy of both individuals & groups, self-constituted from the community it's part of.

With no loyalty/respect to Law or Constitution or Nation or Religion or Race or Gender or Caste or Class or whatever the bullshit ruling class euphemism/division that exists to control & dominate rest of society.

We can't wish away violence & don't have to pretend State, Capital & Fascism will give up their power voluntarily. They are never going to, never have, never will. They need to be forced.

(I am sure others would have already put this more concisely & more clearly than me long before, but this is what I can think of now. Also I beleive this is what many Antifa groups are trying to achieve too — good on them. I think others also call it: Community self-defence committees).

One more instance that brings the guess work some credibility.

Now the ruling class has roped in the fascist street thugs (largely Israeli fascists, may be other fascists too) to attack UCLA students in collaboration with State goons.

The way it works is:

If Fascists can attack on their own without State goon help, State goons will simply sit idly by & let the attack happen.

If fascists doesnt have the required street muscle, State goons collaborate & intervene to help fascists.

It entirely depends on the circumstance.

In both cases, they use this manufactured chaos as a pretext to attack the people ruling class (in collaboration with fascists) wants targeted.

These attacks usually happen in the dark to ensure they can hide their identity when they do this criminal dirty work on behalf of their masters.

Its a strategy that has extremely high % of success rate — barring few rare exceptions.
