See, your problem is having bad takes. Sounds like a skill issue to me

Israel made a mistake releasing the footage. This entire time they have been claiming he was a coward hiding in a bunker, while he is on camera staring down the drone coming to confirm his death, wearing full battle regalia, defiantly throwing scrap metal at the drone while missing a hand. Regardless of your opinion of Sinwar, this is an objective optical failure that will play against Israel.

Israel thinks on video game logic, if you beat the big bad boss everyone gives up, but that's not what has happened. Sinwar is now more popular in death than he was in life among Palestinians, who actually believed him to be hiding, and not fighting on the frontlines as a 61 year old man.

Anyone who thinks this is the start of a ceasefire has seriously misjudged the material conditions of Palestine.

Torres is a Zionist, he doesn't actually believe what he's saying here, he's trying to use a smug "gotcha" against the left.

Same energy as "Castro's net worth is the GDP of Cuba."

Idiots think war is just like a Nintendo game where you kill the enemy leader and everyone gives up, lmao. No wonder Israel can't seem to have any success in Lebanon.

Communism isn't about picking a model and copying it, that idea was abandoned in the 1800s. Engels wrote an entire essay on it, Socialism: Utopian and Scientific. We can look to AES states and see where they found success and failure, but no AES state thus far has come from anything comparable to the 2024 US Empire's unique material conditions and productive structures, so obviously we can't copy any one country one to one, nor would we want to.

No, Harris is red, not blue, ergo the former voters that would have theoretically voted for a blue candidate can only vote third party.

Secondly, Trump didn't invent fascism, fascism is Capitalism in decay. The fascism is coming with Kamala too, as it currently is with Biden.

It benefits the DNC and GOP to let minor implementations of a toothless change pass so that people feel like they are making a differance.

Second bit is absolutely analysis, you claimed fascism happens if the fascists get elected. Where did the fascists come from, and why would they get elected?

As for a path forward, I'm a Communist, revolution is necessary. Join an org like FRSO or PSL.

Harris has chosen to embrace genocide, for voters that will not vote for genocide, she is impossible to vote for. These aren't blue votes being lost, this is the blue candidate turning red.

Secondly, liberals are largely loving Kamala and the genocide, it's typically Leftists who already hate the Dems who are abandoning her entirely.

Therefore, Democrats are more likely to be swayed towards the side of let's not support Netanyahu. By that chain, less deaths will occur (addendum: with US help) with the Democrats in power.

And yet Harris and Co. have expressed undying support for Israel. Their interests being protected in the Middle East outweighs any level of appealing to voters, especially because of the logic of "vote Blue no matter who." Dems can get away with anything as long as they aren't Reps.

Right now, Biden is doing business as usual. Same trades and sales to Israel as the US has always done. Trump though has said that he'd just bomb them to "finish the problem."

Biden has given Israel everything they have asked for, even privately encouraging the invasion of Lebanon. Trump is evil, yes, and the Dems are not better, at least not on the genocide issue.

Progress is led by the people, not the politicians.

Now you're making sense! I agree, we need a revolution. I recommend joining PSL or FRSO!
