  • This is clearly rooted in an idealist lack of understanding of the actual present state of various national liberation struggles. As much as I wish it wasn’t the case, no matter how low your opinion of the PSL is, at best those groups aren’t any closer to achieving revolutionary change than the PSL are. That being said, the PSL explicitly aims to organize alongside, and often deferring to, those elements of national liberation struggles that aren’t completely reactionary guided by the principle of the right of all nations to self determination.


  • Be specific, what “settler leadership” is saying that? Because that’s news to me, and flies in the face of the actual direct experience I have with these people.

    Is what you’re saying that any party containing “settlers” is counter revolutionary? Who are settlers, by your definition? Is it just white people, or are you including anyone who is not indigenous? And in either case, are you saying that any “settler” has no place in revolutionary politics? Please, explain your vision for what a real revolutionary organization in the United States should be doing.


  • Idk much about FRSO, I’ve heard they’re fine but I can’t speak personally to it. It’s definitely worth forming your own opinion on PSL, since this guy wages a personal crusade against them so you’re not exactly getting an unbiased perspective. In my experience, I strongly disagree with his perspective on the class and national composition of the PSL, and he has yet to provide a more substantive critique. In my experience, PSL are a party that is genuinely composed of the multinational working class of the United States.


  • You’re conflating a lot of things here, so be specific. Who is saying things like “Israeli and Palestinian working class unite”? Who isn’t recognizing the unique character of the black working class compared with other nations and especially white Americans? Because you’re saying CPUSA, PSL, and FRSO but I guarantee it doesn’t apply to all of them.
