  • doesn't sound particularly principled from how you describe, particularly if he's reveling in upsetting people irl. I'll consider myself lucky not having run into someone like that so far as it sounds pretty odious to have to deal with in a small group.

  • There’s a pro-genocide authoritarian in my town who believes that we, here in America, can’t overthrow our shackles until every Ukrainian is dead because he truly believes all Ukrainians are Nazis.

    If they're bringing that sort of thing up when it comes to ice watch stuff then it sounds wildly out of place, from an organizing standpoint. The marxists I know doing community defense/ice watch don't talk about geopolitics at all when doing local work- there are bigger fish to fry.

    rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances’ admins or moderators.

    I think this is skirting the line, it would be a good practice to not do memeing, baiting or non-constructive commenting in that thread.

  • ughhh I just ran into someone who was insisting that advocating for a two state solution wasn't zionism, because they could imagine a two state solution where israel wasn't a violent settler state running an apartheid government. Me wanting to judge someone for advocating for a two state solution based on the actual-reality 'two state' solutions on offer was considered 'narrow and obtuse"

    Some people just prefer to live in the mind palace.

  • They prefer social democrats to communists, are/were highly active in PJ and PTB comms, and cosplay like they're an anarchist for the purposes of wrecking. They're either a cop or someone doing their work for free.

  • they also made an entirely new community after getting a 1 day ban for acting like an asshole

    For a self-identified anarchist they sure seem to love being a cop about where other people post

    They tried to say Cuba isn’t socialist because it has a state, basically redefining socialism as either anarchism or communism.

    extremely telling that trying to explain the nuances of how time and external aggression affect revolutionary movements is 'trust me bro', they are clearly happy living in a land of pure imagination

  • Repeating abstractions to avoid engaging material reality. I’ve made my point and you've made it clear that you're more concerned with hypotheticals.

  • There is no concrete catalog that affirms which representations are “actually existing”. There is rather open discourse with diverse contributions.

    Proposals that matter in any 'realistic' sense (as you appealed to earlier) are not constituted by open-ended discourse, but by the concrete situations created through institutions, negotiations, and enforcement.

    There's plenty of examples of what these proposals look like in the historical record.

  • Vagueness doesn't make the term neutral. Political proposals are defined by how they function in practice, not by every hypothetical version someone cooks up.

    Every actually existing two-state proposal affirms the legitimacy of Israel as a settler-colonial state and confines Palestinian self-determination within that framework. If the 'transformations' you're imagining undo that, then you’re no longer talking about the same thing.

    You are maintaining the label but redefining the proposal until it no longer resembles reality, while simultaneously appealing to 'realism' as a reason to dispense with discussion of ending the settler-colonial state.

  • an objective of full parity among all current occupants of Palestine, settler and Palestinian, including freedom of movement for Palestinians throughout the entire territory

    That is not a two-state solution as normally understood.

    That's more like one state with equal rights. You are not addressing my point either, you are substituting something different as if it answers my critique. Kind of a bait and switch.

    Additionally, 'parity' does not actually address decolonization, ie the stolen land and material inequalities baked into the infrastructure and economy. Still sounds like apartheid.

    “One of those states is Israel” is not a meaningful argument, because it begs the question of which transformations may have been imposed on Israel and the territory.

    If Israel is so transformed that it no longer functions as a settler-colonial state then the proposal is no longer a standard two-state solution and calling it one is misleading.

  • They were banned for trolling, their past behavior is absolutely relevant.

    None if it bears on whether advocacy for a “two-state solution” is necessarily Zionism.

    I can spell it out for you:

    Two states

    One of those states is Israel

    Israel is a settler-colonial state produced through dispossession and genocide

    Accepting its legitimacy and permanence is Zionism

    Advocating for it is Zionism

    Your appeal to 'realism' just means accepting the colonial status quo. Given current power relations, a two-state solution would rapidly become apartheid by another name.

  • You introduced Zionism into the discussion.

    It's why OP was banned from other places.

    The entire settler population being expelled is not feasible.

    The link I posted has numerous people explain that advocating for the liberation of Palestine isn’t the same as advocating for a genocide or expulsion of Jews in Israel.

    It's not, and the fact that you jumped to that is why I respond in kind.

  • You started the deflecting, you started asking if advocating for a two state solution was zionism, then pivoted to 'whats realistic' when I said 'yes, obviously.'

    Thats why my last post was actually completely relevant.
