‘Lemmygrad’s resident expert on fascism’ — GrainEater, 2024

‘The political desperadoes and ignoramuses, who say they would “Rather be Dead than Red”, should be told that no one will stop them from committing suicide, but they have no right to provoke a third world war.’ — Morris Kominsky, 1970

UAW organizing at VW moves forward (www.workers.org)

This is a significant development, given that the UAW lost two previous plantwide elections at VW, in 2014 (workers.org/2014/02/13088/) and 2019. In 2014 anti-union organizations and politicians ran a massive scare campaign, falsely claiming that the company would close the plant if the union won the election. In 2019, the...

Protestors self‐immolate because they’re desperate and don’t know what else to try. It is always a last resort, not one of the first. Most of the world is begging for the neocolonists to stop exterminating the innocent and they’re still doing it anyway. If the oppressors simply yielded to our demands the first umpteen thousand g‐ddamn times that we asked, nobody would have tried this. As far as I’m concerned, they can take the blame.

The livestreamer in D.C. said he wished to end his complicity in the Gaza war. That war began when Hamas terrorists burned Israelis alive, and the livestreamer showed no appreciation of the irony that it would end, for him, with his own voluntary experience of the same fate. His willingness to suffer this way certainly demonstrated his “determination and sincerity,” to use Nhat Hanh’s phrase. It also showed his numbness to the suffering of others: His cinders should inspire action, but the much larger piles of cinders of whole families in the Kfar Aza kibbutz somehow should not.

…wow. Have you ever heard of the Nakba? The apartheid? What happened after the Oslo accords? How unpopular the ‘Palestinian Authority’ is? Why the hell do you think that Palestinian militants broke into the neocolony…? Because they had nothing better to do?

It just gets worse the more you read (suppo.fi)

Reading about the current events got me looking into the history of Palestine and Israel, and I noticed a lot of Israel’s politicians (like Yitzhak Shamir, Menachem Begin, and Ariel Sharon to name a few) were Zionist terrorists (using the word literally, not subjectively) since before the establishment of Israel. The groups...

Jews have been likening Zionism’s neocolony to the Third Reich as early as 1948. I collected quotes from Orthodox Jews, Shoah survivors, and even a few ‘moderate’ Zionists making their own comparisons after my Sephardic friend encouraged me to write an article formally comparing the two entities.

A case in point is Golda Meir (Meyerson), who was in fact one of the more hawkish leaders of the Yishuv. On May 6, 1948, following a visit to Arab Haifa only a few days after its conquest and the flight and expulsion of the city’s Arab population, Meir reported to the Jewish Agency Executive that “there were houses where the coffee and pita bread were left on the table, and I could not avoid [thinking] that this, indeed, had been the picture in many Jewish towns [i.e., in Europe during World War II].”^42^

Within Mapam—a left‐[leaning] Zionist party that was part of the state’s first government headed by David Ben Gurion—the expulsion of Palestinians was the subject of intense debate. For example, Eliezer Pra’i (later Peri), editor of the Mapam daily al‐Hamishmar, wrote: “Among the best of our comrades the thought has crept in that perhaps it is possible politically to achieve our ingathering in the Land of Israel by Hitlerite‐Nazi means.”^43^

Following the atrocities committed during Operation Hiram by the [neocolonial] army (IDF) who conquered the central‐upper Galilee pocket, the [neocolonial régime] established a three‐person investigation committee. At a cabinet meeting on November 17, 1948, convinced that the army and defense establishment were being evasive, Mapam representative Aharon Cisling stated: “I couldn’t sleep all night. […] This is something that determines the character of the nation. […] Jews too have committed Nazi acts.”^44^

(Emphasis added.)

That is only small sample of the comparisons that I collected—not a single one of which came from a gentile.

Of course, there are limits to the analogy, and one could argue that such analogies are never necessary, but whatever the case I find it troubling to dismiss them as ‘antisemitic’ seeing as how many well adjusted, well educated Jewish adults have made and continue to make their own comparisons between the Reich and the Zionist occupation (which most certainly isn’t a ‘democracy’).

Justin Trudeau’s father was an antisemitic fascist (journals.uclpress.co.uk)

The true French Canadian is entirely determined by the powerful forces of ‘the blood, the soil and the past’, wrote Lionel Groulx, echoing the famous expression penned by Maurice Barrès — ‘the blood, the soil and the dead’, but Groulx saw the ideal as very rare....

Architects, Exhibitions, and the Politics of Culture in Fascist Italy (sci-hub.ru)

Terragni also evoked the atmosphere of 1922 in his Sala O, where the walls surged out toward the visitors in a burst of new volumes. Every space was full; panels sliced through the room diagonally, with Mussolini’s profile rendered in metal; the phrase “Paradiso bolscevico” served as a caption for a photograph of starving...

U.N.’s Forest Protection Goals at Risk, Say Independent Assessors (www.projectcensored.org)

Specifically, $675 billion a year is invested in exploiting forests versus the mere $2.2 billion a year committed to protecting them, a discrepancy of 307 to 1. To effectively prevent deforestation, the annual sum invested should be $460 billion, more than 200 times the current amount, according to the report....

Protests target illegal sales of stolen Palestinian land (www.workers.org)

While the real estate companies made distinctions between properties in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Haifa — cities in Palestinian territory occupied by Israel in 1948 — and three West Bank settlements — Efrat, Neve Daniel and Maale Adumim — pro-Palestinian demonstrators made no distinction between the West Bank and Israel....

The History of “Socialist” Zionism; Pseudo-Socialist Zionists did the Nakba & founded the Neocolony (yt.artemislena.eu)

When [Ben‐Gurion] witnessed the 1905 revolution in Russia, he thought that Jews would waste their lives in a hopeless cause, that while the revolution might liberate Russia, it will not liberate the Jewish people. Ben‐Gurion understood the power of Marxist ideas among young Jewish radicals. When he discovered Poale Zion, he...

Supreme Court Pauses Racist Law that Another Court Tried to Uphold after the First Court Struck it Down (web.archive.org)

We’ve talked before about SB 4, the Texas immigration law that essentially enshrines racial profiling into law, making it not only encouraged but mandatory, and setting the precedent for each state to write its own version of what have always been federal immigration laws....

Capitalist Media say ‘no’ on ceasefire, cease ‘uncommitted’ voters (www.projectcensored.org)

The “uncommitted” vote was a way for citizens in Michigan to express their frustration with Biden in general, and his support for Israel’s assault on Gaza in particular. Indeed, activists in other states such as California, Maine, and Washington are considering protest votes similar to what happened in Michigan in 2024...

Palestinian national factions call for consensus and unity (www.workers.org)

In the light of the Palestinian Authority insistence on continuing the policy of unilateralism, and disregarding all national efforts to unite the Palestinian front and unite in the face of aggression against our people, we express our rejection of the continuation of this approach that has harmed and continues to harm our...

Somehow I doubt that the millions of us in the lower classes who suffered from his régime would be that restrained.

In any case, it isn’t a question of one individual’s prescription. It is more a question of historic inevitability and necessity. I can’t say anything for sure, but should the lower classes directly confront Donald Trump and Mike Pence one day, I have a feeling that we’ll be just as forgiving as lower‐class Italians were of Benito Mussolini. Only a guess, though.
