“should one party propose, stripping immigrants of all rights and the other proposed stripping them of only some rights. The intellectually rigorous thing to do is to consider that what’s best is stripping immigrants of most rights to compromise.” love this critique of centrist bs

“because it is the middle of the empire that must look upon this and say yes this is tragic but necessary because the alternative is barbarism. The alternative to the countless killed and maimed an orphan and left without a home without school without hospital and the screaming from under the rubble in the corpses disposed of by vultures and dogs and the days old babies, left scream and starve is barbarism.” 5

page 56-57: American liberalism demands a rhetorical politeness from which the fascistic iteration of the modern Republican Party is fully free. There is something stomach turning about watching a parade of Biden administration press secretaries offer in sincere expressions of their concern for Palestinians as the same administration bank rules their butcher. It is a reminder that the Democratic parties relationship with progressivism so often ends at the lawn sign: proclaim support for this minority group or that hang a rainbow flag one month a year from some White House window. Most important remind everyone at every turn how much worse the alternative would be. Against such hollow gesturing even the most unhinged Republican will always be able to say: look these people have no interest in your suffering, only empty gestures; I’ll do away with the gestures and make the right people suffer. It is an astoundingly effective technique, but would not be if the leadership of the Democratic Party had come to realize that Logan earring without concrete action means nothing.”

the democratic party is a hollow “opposition” that paints itself as progressive while failing to deliver any real progressive results. they are beholden to capital in the same way the republican party is but they just don’t embrace it. liberalism will always eventually fall apart as it has and leave rise to fascism. because in the eyes of the voters at least these fascist are being sincere.
