Whilst traversing the the vistas of Telegram – mostly monitoring the far-right for exposé articles (the gift that keeps on giving) – I came across a left-wing site named “Bronx Anti-War“. This derived from researching anti-Zionist content that is not anti-Sematic. This site seems to be a development of “Palestinian Action” – a Western, pro-active group that targets Israeli war businesses operating in the UK and US. Small groups of young people break into business premises, spray-paint and smash machinery, etc. As no mainstream outlet will touch this group – no one really knows they exist. Now, I oppose Zionism (but not necessarily Jewish people – even though I oppose religious ignorance) as a form of White Supremacy fascism as decided by the UN in 1975. In this, I support all those Jews who also oppose Zionism. As a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist (which includes life-activities of the great Stalin – the only Socialist leader to win a world war against fascism) – I do not agree with Anarchism, adventurism, or pointless and destructive “terrorism”. The Anerchists are just as likely to join the fascists as they are the Socialists (see the Anarchist duplicity of the Spanish Civil War [1936-1939]) – and cannot be trusted (as they will eventually betray both – as did the British arch-reactionary – “George Orwell”). After-all, modern Anarchy is a development of the hyper-individualism found within liberal democracy and predatory capitalism (Peter Kropotkin was a genteel, tea-drinking bourgeois). It is not the collectivism of the proletariat.
I think that the US is currently suffering under the yoke of democratically elected fascism. This is suppressing the social, cultural, and political space to such a degree that there appears to be a re-emergence of left-wing militancy – probably with a tinge of Trotskyite reactionism (this must be the case as the genuine left does not exist in America). This militancy is directly equal to the suppressive-force that has produced it – but is it relevant, required, or legitimate for a mass working class movement to be effective? Remember, Karl Marx firmly rejected pointless acts of terrorism – which he defined as being separate and distinct from the acts of genuine working class self-defence. The point is that the working class must possess iron-like discipline if it is to achieve its objectives within a bourgeois society. Pointless acts of individualistic “terrorism” ultimately achieve nothing positive, and always lead to the working class being collectively punished for the actions of a few. Now, on the Bronx Anti-War site, and many others like it, there is a general eulogising of the actions of one “Elias Rodriguez” – a Hispanic-American man. Indeed, there is a very well-developed “Free Elias Rodriguez” Campaign much to my astonishment.
A few days ago, Elias Rodriguez murdered two Israeli diplomatic staff serving in the US. He, and his supporters, state that he carried-out this “righteous” act in the name of the beleaguered Palestinian people. They talk of “Internationalising” the Intifada – whatever that is supposed to mean. To my mind, murdering innocent individuals in a country where a conflict is NOT happening – is in no way an act of genuine “freedom fighting” or to ve considered in anyway part of a legitimate “Socialist” reaction to the ongoing “Genocide” being committed in Gaza by the Israeli goverment and Israeli military. This entire affair is a distortion of reality. Yes – Zionism is fascism – and Yes – Israel is committing “Genocide” in Gaza. However, Hamas, although elected by the Palestinian people, is not “Socialist” even if it is agreed that it is carrying-out the (expedient) function of “freedom fighting” (the October 7th attack has been disastrous for the Palestinan and Syrian people). Enlarging the objectives of Hamas out of the local and into the International – is the expansion of Islamic militancy and NOT Socialism. What are these people talking about? Who is behind this lunacy?
It is predatory capitalism that is the problem – with fascism (and Zionism) being side-issues to the working class seizing the means of production and taking-control of the forces of production. This result will be the end of capitalist wars and fascist dictatorships. Stop giving Israel money, weaponry, and political green-lights – and encourage the Palestinians to adopt a secular society with a Socialist Constitution. No more mosques – there are already enough – build more hospitals and schools. Guarantee religious rights, but build schools that teach science to children. The backwardness of religion is very much a left-over from feudalism that the capitalists make us of as part of their divide and conquer tactics! Elias Rodriguez has destroyed his own life by murdering two others. This is not Socialism. This is not how a Red Army soldier behaves. Think about it. This is a Trotskyite plot of pure Entryism and nobody is saying anything about it! We have to box-clever as the forces arrayed against us are over-whelming. Keep a clear-head and think with a dialectical clarity. Killing a body does not necessarily stop (or prevent) the thought forms you think you are attacking. This revisionist movement does not want to over-throw capitalism per se (just like the BLM movement) – but rather re-set society to an earlier stage of predatory cpitalism – mistakenly presented as “fairer”. In this regard, this is a classic example of how Trotskyism over-laps with fascist ideology. If you are young – take a step back and read the book “On Communist Education” by MI Kalini. Do not pointlessly waste your life – and the lives of others.
There are times to fight – and their are times to organise and train. Socialist activists must learn to distinguish the difference between the two and act in a logical, ground-up way. The foundation must be strong to support the building and nothing must be rushed or activated too soon – or disaster will follow. We are currently called upon to operate within the confines of a predatory capitalist system. We are not at war with ourselves – and yet a class struggle is continuously in operation – whilst his can mean many different things to different people depending upon the circumstance and prevailing conditions. In the far-right, White middle-class men living in the gated communities of Kent give orders that poor working class youths carry-out. These youths are then caught, tried, and imprisoned for many years – whilst absolutely “nothing” happens to the middle class men who sent them out to act against the State. Trotskyite movements on the left, being in reality a form of fascism, operate in exactly the same manner. Elias Rodriguez will probably be executed – whilst absolutely “nothing” will happen to those White privileged Americans who sent him on this ridiculous and murderous mission!
