I’d wager the reason Jewish people are so supportive of other minorities, in particular of displaced and diasporic minorities, is because they’ve been in the same situation for most of their history
I agree that Jewish people are engaged in a protracted genocide of the Palestinian nation, but not all Jewish people support this
And it goes directly against the tenants of the Jewish faith
Like I said Haredic Jews, who are religious fundamentalist and Orthodox have always opposed the establishment of Israel and the treatment of Palestinians
And not all Jewish people are Israeli citizens or benefitting socially from the segregation and genocide of Palestinians if they don’t live in Israel
Hmm
@fuck12moredeadcops Hassidic Jews want to kill all non-Jews in Israel, stone gays and adulterers and impose a theocracy. They are the most violent of Jews. As for Palestinians, let us not forget that they also massacre Jews and are mostly decended from Ottoman Turkish migrants.
```Fascism has opened up the depths of society for politics. Today, not only in peasant homes but also in city skyscrapers, there lives alongside of the twentieth century the tenth or the thirteenth. A hundred million people use electricity and still believe in the magic power of signs and exorcisms.```

```An analogous result might occur in the event that the proletariat of advanced capitalist countries, having conquered power, should prove incapable of holding it and surrender it, as in the USSR, to a privileged bureaucracy. Then we would be compelled to acknowledge that the reason for the bureaucratic relapse is rooted not in the backwardness of the country and not in the imperialist environment but in the congenital incapacity of the proletariat to become a ruling class. Then it would be necessary in retrospect to establish that in its fundamental traits the present USSR was the precursor of a new exploiting régime on an international scale.```
gotta admire a guy that can admit he was wrong about something so fundamental

Hedges has some comments around 17:00 - 20:00 that might relate to some of your [misplaced] fears
```German fascism, like Italian fascism, raised itself to power on the backs of the petty bourgeoisie, which it turned into a battering ram against the organizations of the working class and the institutions of democracy. But fascism in power is least of all the rule of the petty bourgeoisie. On the contrary, it is the most ruthless dictatorship of monopoly capital. Mussolini is right: the middle classes are incapable of independent policies. During periods of great crisis they are called upon to reduce to absurdity the policies of one of the two basic classes. Fascism succeeded in putting them at the service of capital Such slogans as state control of trusts and the elimination of unearned income were thrown overboard immediately upon the assumption of power. Instead, the particularism of German “lands” leaning upon the peculiarities of the petty bourgeoisie gave way to capitalist-police centralism. Every success of the internal and foreign policies of National Socialism will inevitably mean the further crushing of small capital by large.
The program of petty-bourgeois illusions is not discarded; it is simply torn away from reality, and dissolved in ritualistic acts. The unification of all classes reduces itself to semisymbolic compulsory labor and to the confiscation of the labor holiday of May Day for the “benefit of the people.” The preservation of the Gothic script as opposed to the Latin is a symbolic revenge for the yoke of the world market The dependence upon the international bankers, Jews among their number, is not eased an iota, wherefore it is forbidden to slaughter animals according to the Talmudic ritual. If the road to heaven is paved with good intentions, then the avenues of the Third Reich are paved with symbols.```
Trotsky would be a comedian in today's world
He wouldn't have to be a revolutionary
Beautiful
Does a majority vote make something moral and how are morals developed? (In your opinion, this is a question to anyone)
Hi
Doesn't make it moral. It's more for legitimacy
Without religion , morals are majority rule
Only if you’re a sheep

You need a guiding hand in society that follows the principles of justification.
God
People follow the words within the scriptures telling of a deity that they must believe based on no proof other than things he’s supposedly done in the past along with a select few people that apparently had superhuman powers and could do things like split open a sea, turning water into wine, and living in the belly of a whale as a time out.
Human beings are just fine at creating their own moral code which, more often than not, is aligned with that of a religious person’s.
Plus, religion has encouraged people to commit wrong-doings in its name as a result of ‘misinterpretation’. This only goes to show that everyone has their own initial morality code, regardless. God doesn’t do good, your faith in him suedes your decisions. Your mind is the real champ here.
