Also I do have a dream there where the Aphex Twin logo appears so this is very relevant to this community. And I do try to keep the dreams concise and focus on the key details. It's a mistake people often make when recounting dreams, focusing on the myriad details that were never particularly fixed in the first place as if you could reconstruct and transmit your particular brain state. It's not possible. Reducing it to one sentence often communicates so much more. |

btw i'm reading on reddit that the most original breadtube group (that didn't name themselves 'breadtube' though) also includes jenny nicholson i'm a big fan of her she dropped banger, short video yesterday. of course i already gobbled it up. i'm saying the conclusion of the video is indeed very anti-capitalist, because it shows well how it ruins everything of value everything by Jenners is great. and is just the best video on youtube |

this is the description in the /r/breadtube sub ("youtube, but good is the tag line): BreadTube is a place for the new wave of creators, journalists and artists making high-quality content that goes against the prevailing winds of the internet. Politics, History, Economics, Science, Media Analysis, Free Speech, Film Criticism, Philosophy, Anarchism, Communism - anything on YouTube that is well researched and thoughtful is welcome here. Why Bread? (last sentence only on old.reddit) so the mission statement doesn't call for only political videos |

"Perhaps I haven’t made my political commitments clear enough. Folks in my mentions and Qts saying “I am unfollowing you” because of the stances I take on Iran. (Which I’ve spoken about on my podcast anyways). But if there is any doubt: I identify the primary contradiction as US imperialism. I believe it overdetermines how countries relate to each other and themselves. It is a cancer that must be defeated for the betterment of the world. There is no world in which I will be aligned with the US state department and Zionism (under any circumstance). Every state is deserving of criticism however there is a difference between a reactionary critique and a revolutionary critique. One that services and buttresses empire v one that is rooted in a project that supports the liberation of the colonised in the world. Our position in the west is that we should not interfere with the internal contradictions of states but do everything we can to sever the tentacles of US imperialism. And I arrive at this political position through my PanAfricanist orientation. Hope that clears things up." |

Starting with a discussion with French and American comrades, “Limits of anti-Zionism” has become the common title to a series of articles written during the last 15 years about Left anti-Semitism and its possible connections with certain forms of anti-Zionism. France is the European country which welcomes both the most important Muslim (3 to 6 million) and Jewish (around 600,000) “communities.” It is also the country which saw a dangerous revival of holocaust denial after 1979, thanks to several generation of (in)famous agitators and “provocateurs” : Robert Faurisson (a literature university teacher), Roger Garaudy (an ex-Communist Party leading intellectual converted to Islam), Alain Soral (a failed journalist-essayist who became a “national-socialist,” according to his own words, quite famous on YouTube for his aggressive videos) and Dieudonné (an antiracist stand-up comedian who became a professional anti-Semite under the disguise of anti-Zionism). Those interested by these questions will find many articles on this subject (in French) on Ni patrie ni frontières’ website (npnf.eu) and mondialisme.org, a common portal with two other radical journals. Today and tomorrow, just as yesterday, we have no reason to choose between Sharon and Arafat, the rope and the firing squad. If one day a solution takes shape between Israelis and Palestinians, it will be done despite the nationalists on both sides, Zionists, members of the PLO or of the terrorist-jihadist movements. Thus, we have to say it openly, and not hide our intentions for tactical reasons. The Palestinian Authority is as much the enemy of the Palestinian people as the right-wing and left-win Israeli parties are the enemies of the Jewish people. |

Since the October 7 massacres committed by Palestinian groups in Israel, a propaganda war broke out on social networks and in the « mainstream media » between two competing campisms : “Zionist” campism, which denies (or considerably relativizes) the massacres of Palestinian civilians committed by the Israeli army ; and “anti-Zionist” campism [1], which denies (or at least strongly relativizes) the massacres of Israeli civilians perpetrated by Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other groups or individuals on October 7, 2023. nist" campists |

[1] “Anti-Zionism” is as confused and incoherent, if that’s possible, as THE “Zionism” it claims to oppose, which is why I systematically place both terms in quotation marks. lol i love you yves |

The accusation that anti-imperialists are unconcerned with human rights deserves a sharp rebuke. The USA was born of slavery and genocide, dropped atomic bombs as a matter of political brinkmanship, imported Nazi scientists and installed war criminals like Klaus Barbie and Nobusuke Kishi around the world to defend and advance anti-communist positions, and enthusiastically supports gruesome butcherers today. Simply put, Capital has destroyed innumerable countries and murdered hundreds of millions directly and indirectly. It is precisely a concern for the rights of humans that should make one immediately skeptical of any humanitarian posturing by Capital. Anti-imperialism not only means support for the important pro-social projects of states like Cuba, Vietnam, and China; it also means critical support for non-socialist states such as Iran and Russia. Critical support acknowledges that, though instituting various indefensible policies, enemies of empire are not being antagonized because of said policies. The only thing that can drive empire to act in the world is capital accumulation. |

only racists use black nationalism in this way. for instance streamer and worst person in the world (claiming to be an anarchist, doing them a disservice) V*ush any fascism is wrong. any apartheid is wrong all your questions in this little series of posts seem loaded to me. as is this worrying about leftist antisemitism, to me all antisemitism is wrong. seems like you're weaponizing it, however, to stifle discussion about Israel and likewise, imo, is your worrying about using the term 'Zionism'. Zionism is a root cause for what is happening now. i guess i do agree that if one brings it up, one needs to inform themselves of the history of the Jewish people in relation to other peoples. hard to not sound as a cliché, for me here. i mean: when does one know enough? are only Jews allowed to speak about Israel, or Zionism? of course not, because it all affects others as well. and right now: the Palestinians, to a terrible degree, while the (western) world watches washes their hands in (white) innocenc (for me, another important root cause: the western colonial spirit, which is still very much present in present day imperialism) |

do you think antisemitism under leftists is a problem that has an actual big impact? more loaded by me: do you agree that the accusation of antisemitism is misused greatly? (i have to for instance think of Jeremy Corbyn) |

1) . (obviously a bit of an egregious illustration, i'm not saying everyone who disagrees is stalin, but it does put things into perspective.) (and yes antisemitism was also widely prevalent in critics of the soviet union.) 2) i don't know about "misused greatly", as for instance i don't think corbyn and his supporters handled the situation well. but it is definitely used as a cudgel specifically against the left, while right wing antisemitism (which includes socalled "philosemitism" i.e. instrumentalising the fight against anitisemitism in the service of a racist and generally anti-human ideology; but also you'll see the same people who decry left antisemitism railing against a soros-backed woke conspiracy or whatever) gets a pass and doesn't result in bad-faith harrassement campaigns. it's also more obviously intrumentalised against muslims and arabs as our friend roger demonstrates, which is how the more mainstream far-right parties went from outwardly pro-palestinian neo-nazis to outwardly pro-israel anti-muslims (arabs). the reason i'm focused on left antisemitism is because i'm left-wing and i want the left to be strong and capable of mounting a solid defence, instead of merely denying there is antisemitism and compounding the problem, confusing the issue and creating ideological bridges with holocaust deniers and other . |

i agree with what you're writing: "the reason i'm focused on left antisemitism is because i'm left-wing and i want the left to be strong and capable of mounting a solid defence, instead of merely denying there is antisemitism and compounding the problem, confusing the issue and creating ideological bridges with holocaust deniers and other nazi nutters." i agree that we should be vigilant and should examine ourselves to not let antisemitism slip in. also this should entail more than just writing this, like i'm doing here i still have to ask critically, though: do you disavow Zionism? i know it looks pretty bad for a gentile like me to ask it like this. maybe i should ask: do you disavow political Zionism. i could write more, like: a bit of Zionism isn't that bad, when Palestinians and Jews can live together in peace. but that'd just be liberal Zionism. and i'm afraid that isn't going to work (just like liberalism doesn't work, as Tony can explain, because it will just let capitalism go on existing) |

I've already said I don't support nationalism in any form! I think it should be obvious that I especially don't support it when it's being invoked to commit war crimes and assorted atrocities. thanks. i'm interested in learning more about this. i hate how communism is the devil, but know too little about the actual truth (i'm assuming this is an honest text) It's pseudohistorical hagiographic nonsense, obviously. Tony is (charitably) a useful idiot in the service of a reactionary, conspirational ideology. All his faves are regulars on putinist media (Russia Today, etc). I don't think you're seeing it for what it plainly is, and seeing you seemingly taken with some of the "radicality" he peddles doesn't fill me with confidence. |

PSL supported the 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea. While PSL did not support the 2022 Russian invasion, it blamed the war on US-led NATO expansion and the "plight of ethnic Russians" in the Donbas. [...] PSL opposes US intervention in the Syrian Civil War, and has generally been supportive of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and Russian military efforts in Syria. PSL denies the conclusion of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and other international organizations that the Syrian government used chemical weapons, which are banned under the Chemical Weapons Convention. [...] PSL has generally defended China's human rights records, denying, for instance, that the Chinese military massacred student protestors in the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre. [...] Stephan Gowans argued in 2013 in PSL's official newspaper that a North Korean nuclear arsenal is "to be welcomed by anyone who opposes imperialist military interventions; supports the right of a people to organize its affairs free from foreign domination; and has an interest in the survival of one of the few top-to-bottom, actually-existing, alternatives to the global capitalist system of oppression, exploitation and foreign domination". i'm telling you, he can't help himself |

it blamed the [Ukrain] war on US-led NATO expansion i agree that's a reason for Russia's (also imperialist) actions wording it like 'blamed it on' is a framing and i'm not sure a lot of the rest isn't either (source?) |

the text is from the wikipedia page for the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which mostly uses the PSL's own publications as a source |
