My surviving jewish family were freed from a nazi death camp by the people you call fascists. Equating the two is holocaust trivialization and antisemitic. I literally link you to a well known mainstream Jewish historian and activist about this issue. Do you think David Katz is a "tankie"?

You call me scum equivalent to a nazi in response. Have words lost all meaning to you?

I hate having to tap the "calling the USSR or other AES states fascist is antisemitic" sign

I mean we don't have a dictator and we're involved in killing tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians over the course of a month. Even if Trump is never elected again we keep sliding into fascism, and liberalism doesn't really have a response to that besides to join in.

Yes those are all indications of colonial violence turned inward.

As empires collapse imperial violence turns inward. For a more in depth analysis I would read anticolonial theory or Marxist analysis of Nazi germany, like "economy and class structure of german fascism"

Trying to prosecute him for his real crimes is honestly damaging the election chances of Biden, lots of voters with a vicarious persecution complex through Trump.

And if you only treat symptoms, what happens?

Also no, in many cases you do not have to treat symptoms, and it can be damaging to do so. It's not a good extension of the metaphor.

They will literally always need us, read chapters 15 and 16 of Capital which covers automation.

Marx literally wrote against enforced atheism in "the Jewish question"(a very unfortunate name in hindsight) which was a defense of Jewish communists keeping their religious and cultural identity.

So you’re saying that you think the curriculum and education, that involves coloring books showing the shooting of Jews and hands on training with weapons for elementary school children isn’t a problem?

Sure it is a problem, and it isnt going to solved until Israel stops being a settler colonial apartheid state or they entirely murder or displace every Palestinian. I'm guessing you prefer the latter?

On a technical note, Jews didn’t colonize Judea. They’ve been there since before the Arabs. They decolonized the region, Palestine and Gaza is literally a colony in practice.

What not ever reading a book on colonial theory does to a motherfucker

We are all from Africa, but if you went to Libya and started killing people and claiming their land as your own, you'd be a fucking settler. So to with Israel.

Yes. People aren’t born to hate they’re taught to hate. If you’re going to act like kids in Gaza aren’t taught to hate in school, and in training camps then you’re either defending terrorists or you’re just ignorant.

If you think that kids and Gaza need to be taught to hate when the colonizer is out there already teaching them through violence youre just ignorant. If you want to stop training camps existing in the first place, stop the settler colonial project.

Read Fanon liberal.
