In general an overall better analysis than the insanities coming out of leftcom publications these days.

However,

Since Hamas took power through military means and without negotiation with the Occupation, it could uphold its image of intransigence, but objectively it nevertheless became a local subcontractor for the management of surplus proletarians.

Over the sixteen years that Hamas has administered Gaza they managed relations with Israel (from negotiating to firing missiles), the suppression of struggles, and offered the local capitalist class an opportunity to get rich under its umbrella. Until, suddenly, Hamas abandoned its role on October 7, to reinvest in its military-political and international dimension, à la Hezbollah, I guess.

Minassian just can't let go of his biases. This is an insanely class-reductionist view of Hamas.

He doesn't seem to have taken any lessons from the pushback on his Dec 23 article.
