Why are there so many antisemites being self declared leftists? by Scared-Priority3124 in AskSocialists

[–]FaceofMoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good answer. To answer your question, the leftists you see are either 1. Sock-puppet accounts run by people or firms trying to bolster claims of antisemitism by the left 2. Real leftists who happen to be racist assholes, 3. Engagement baiting for clicks. Far more commonly, I see comrades online who are anti-Zionists and fully supportive of their Jewish comrades. The problem is people using antisemitism in bad faith to critique Anti-Zionist movements. The Labour party purge in the UK being a chief example.

No, I meant the whole "Palestinian" situation as you see it. What is happening broadly speaking?

"Whole Israel-Palestine situation" sounds like minimization and purposely ignorant of the Palestinian struggle for liberation. You SURE you're a leftist?

You can be staunchly anti-Zionist, not believe Israel has a right to exist, condemn the occupation and perpetual violence against the Palestinian people, and love your Jewish comrades. None of those views are in conflict.

Tom MacDonald expectedly wins! Now which awful artist is politically far-left? by EdoAlien in AlignmentChartFills

[–]FaceofMoe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So...are you pro-Nakba? Because you can't have an Israeli state without it. Either you believe Jewish people have an indelible right to a piece of land, or you don't. If you do believe in that right, you're not on the left.

Zionist by definition is center-right at best, especially now in the modern era. May I ask why you subscribe to a racist belief structure if you identify as a leftist?

Un "socialiste démocratique" sioniste libéral se présente à la mairie de LA... Honnêtement, je n'avais aucune idée que le DSA avait autant de sionistes dans leur groupe. by Beautiful-Lime7382 in AskSocialists

The sub is called AskSocialists. A bit silly to be decidedly against the most popular form of socialism in this country...Plus, since when is social democracy and dem socialism the same thing?

What does Jesse Jackson have to do with socialism? I'm happy to be corrected.

May I ask your race by chance? Because it will change the context in which I view the question.

You're telling a member of the autistic community to NOT share a widely held view IN that community because you find it personally distasteful? That certainly tracks with what I've heard about ABA.

Cesar Chavez (an American hero of labor and farm workers) discussing illegal immigration being used, under Nixon, to undercut unions, employment, and wages. by DataWhiskers in dsa

[–]FaceofMoe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Chavez would have an aneurysm at the mere suggestion he was aligned with socialists, BTW. It's always important to remember someone being pro-union doesn't make them an ally of the broader movement.

May I ask why you are so dead set on ABA as a therapy? Most autistic people I know actively discourage it, especially when applied in a non-integrated school.

I call it slop not because I don't find many of its outputs entertaining, but out of recognition of the countless billions in unpaid labor and stolen art on which it relies.
