No, it’s clearly someone lashing out in anger. Fed up with their abysmal material conditions and feeling like there was no viable outlet for meaningful change. Likely feeling completely isolated in both their workplace and community. Warehouses are notorious for their union-busting measures, I doubt this warehouse was an exception.

China is infinitely more of a Democratic Republic than the United States. I’m critical of their lack of robust labor rights and welfare systems. I also don’t live there so not really relevant to the US Labor situation. USSR doesn’t exist, also not relevant here. Even with all that in mind, across the board China still has more labor rights than the US does, which while that doesn’t say much, still goes to show how little of a leg you have to stand on here.

What? Who do you think are running all the labor DSA working groups, putting in the work to salt and pepper work places to rebuild the labor momentum from scratch?

Have you unionized your work place?

Yeah, I agree that was complete bullshit. Not even NY DSA is nearly as bold as they should be.

But I’m also not going to dismiss the over 200 candidates currently serving because of the ground work the DSA chapters have done.

And unlike in the DNC, those issues can actually be brought up and forced to be addressed by the serving body in those chapters.

I don’t know if you’ve visited your local DSA chapter, if you live in the states, but for better or for worse it’s all grassroots volunteers.

I don’t personally care which organization someone gets involved in, whether DSA or PSL or a different one. It’s getting involved with the community that matters. My experience is with west coast DSA chapters, which are still new to electoral politics, and even such only at the city level.

Strongly disagree, DSA does far more than simply electoral politics. They’re also decentralized. Chapters don’t follow any centralized DSA message, each operate independently as organized by their local members. When it comes to electing candidates, chapters independently determine what policies are needed for their endorsement and they also hold those candidates accountable outside the DNC. Candidates run on the D ticket because that’s the reality of US politics. In both local and national politics, they have forced political bodies to move their politics to the left, to be accountable to their constituents instead of simply donors. You may not like that they’ve moved those political bodies as much left or as fast as you prefer, sure. But that’s also only a single avenue of pressure. Each DSA chapter is only as bold as it’s members. And that’s only recently grown in resurgence. Before the last 2 campaign cycles, the DSA was a fraction of the size (and it’s still very small) it was, and mostly comprised of old heads. I’m not surprised if the majority of old heads were/are liberal Zionists. But that’s far from the truth for the new wave of members, which now outnumber the old heads.

And it’s not like there’s also PSL. Both play important roles, as do many other liberation organizations and advocacy groups. It’s a United front of coalitions that are needed to push the envelope in as many ways as possible.

The problem is in the normalization of the policies the last Republican left, paving the way for Republicans to expand on those terrible policies once back in charge

America has done state sponsored terrorism for a long time, since it’s inception, really

Getting involved with DSA to promote a meaningful opposition is the best we can currently do at the moment, imo. Internal opposition by promoting socialist candidates and external opposition in the form of protests (ideally labor strikes, but labor organizing isn’t really there yet) are both needed for force their hands to capitulate to their voter base

There are a significant amount of support facts for how French Colonialism and Neocolonialism have affected Burkina Faso, not to mention the plethora of other countries affected similarly. Not only does Fanon use a large amount of supporting facts in his works, it’s very easy to find such in reference to neocolonialism online. As I have when responding to the other person.

First, thank you for well written response

It’s true that Fanon himself did not write too much on neocolonialism, as it was a bit past his time. However, if you understand how reactionary sentiments foment in the process of an anti-colonialist revolution, it’s not difficult to understand how that persists in the face of neocolonialism, as western empires continue to subjugate these nations with modern methods.

In the case of Burkina Faso, we can’t ignore France’s neocolonialist actions since their independence. They have not been sovereign in the same sense that western nations have. While western nations were able to develop civil rights free of the constant battle against neocolonial dominance, this is still not the case for countries like Burkina Faso. France has still been a constant threat against their sovereignty, and as such, the anti-western hardliners continue to stay in power.

No, it’s not unless you’re claiming Fanon in unreliable and not credible. A counter argument of ‘I don’t personally think so’ is not a valid counter argument against the highly respected works of an academic who both lived and studied his lifes work

A Dying Colonialism

If you can’t attack the substance, you attack the source. The only other time I’ve seen a weak bs claim of ‘appeal to authority’ is from people who try to discredit human rights reporting on genocide.

My analysis is based on Fanon, how well read are you on anti-colonialism?
