The entire premise of this (amazing) book
We're actually in agreement here, it is definitely a good thing for people to leave the anarco-zionist Elbit left and turn to this "nationalist, anti-colonial islamist/3rd world movement" if that's what you want to call it, aka forces actually resisting imperialism.

I spoke to Hezbollah MP Hussein Hajj Hassan about the traitorous agreement signed between the Lebanese authorities and Israeli occupation, which he called “a scandal on every level. It represents the complete surrender of the Lebanese authorities before the Israeli enemy.”
VPol: How will Iran respond?
MP Hussein Hajj Hassan: “The ones who started the war were the US and the Israelis. Iran is acting in self-defense against this war that was launched by these two enemies. Now, Iran has said that it will insist on Lebanon's demands, particularly the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanon, in any agreement it may sign with the US. So, Iran has clearly stated that it supports Lebanon, while the Lebanese authorities have surrendered to the US and the Israelis.”
VPol: Does Hezbollah consider the war to be over?
MP Hussein Hajj Hassan: “Hezbollah did not start the war. It was the Israelis and the US who started it. And if they do not respect the ceasefire—that is, if Israel violates the ceasefire—it is Hezbollah's duty to respond.”
VPol: If US soldiers come to southern Lebanon, how would the resistance respond?
MP Hussein Hajj Hassan: “Who said they have the right to come to Lebanon? Who said that?”

On this day in 1947, the CIA drove leftist president Jacobo Arbenz of Guatemala from power in a regime change coup because he distributed land to poor farmers which was opposed by the US United Fruit Company. This destabilized Guatemala for decades and led to a long bloody war.

"Between colonizer & colonized there is room only for forced labor, intimidation, pressure, the police, taxation, theft, rape, compulsory crops, contempt, mistrust, arrogance, self-complacency, swinishness, brainless elites, degraded masses. No human contact, but relations of domination and submission which turn the colonizing man into a classroom monitor, an army sergeant, a prison guard, a slave driver, and the indigenous man into an instrument of production.
My turn to state an equation: colonization = "thingification."

Pride began as resistance, not as a corporate marketing campaign.
In a commodity society, capital sells everything, even diversity. Rainbow logos cannot conceal exploitation, imperialist wars, union busting, or the plunder of the Global South.

Islam is still extremely popular inside US prisons and is often the first step toward prisoners’ radicalization bc it represents a dis-identification with Americanness. This was true for Malcolm X and it’s still true today.

A lot of the Islam 'discourse' seems to miss that whatever its nuances, Islam has proven capable of producing durable collective agency including in the direction of resistance beyond the transmission belt of old industrial capitalism whereas we've found no-way of doing so

man what the hell are you talking about lol
In our interview Evan says “anarchism needs to be eradicated as an ideology” because it promotes an infantile “notion of an ethical solidarity of all peoples against all regimes,” equating “imperialist, Jewish supremacist, or white supremacist formations,” and “anti-imperialist state and national movements in the periphery.” Full conversation will be published on YouTube soon.

Decolonization is not canvassing for Zohran Mamdani. Decolonization means war lol.
So let’s be clear: decolonization is a violent phenomenon. Decolonization means waging a war for independence. It means a people becoming conscious of themselves as a people, separating from their colonizer and all of its institutions and establishing their own governance.

21st century Red Scare in full force 🌚
Anyway check out Jalil Muntaquim on FROLINAN.
Some portion of the U.S. left understands that the US is a settler colonial entity, but a tiny fraction of even that portion will acknowledge the solution to that beyond vague gestures toward “decolonization.” Thus the only option becomes participation in settler elections.

Against all odds, we continue. Every day we meet people living with chronic diseases, devastating injuries, kidney conditions, infected wounds, malnutrition, and disabilities. As funding has declined, we have had to limit our responses to individual medical cases - a decision that weighs heavily on us because we know every person has a story, a family, and a life worth fighting for. Support now:
But there is one intervention that reaches everyone.
WATER.
Clean water is medicine. It helps prevent infection, allows wounds to be cleaned, supports kidney health, enables medications to be taken safely, reduces dehydration, and restores dignity to people already battling illness.
This is not just about delivering the water that already exists. It's about creating new sources of fresh drinking water.
Help us finish our desalination plant.
Just $5 brings us one step closer to providing the clean water that every person in Gaza deserves:
