  • I think a lot of people have already given up on reform like Zoran have and believe that revolution is the only path to change which is probably true.

    The problem is that you are only allowed to truly turn on someone when they start to compromise on their values. Usually with reformist they do that way before they start to win any elections. Zoran has made minor speech compromises but in his values he hasn’t really

    I feel like a lot of leftists are preemptively shooting their load early before Zoran has committed any major mistakes. Do I believe Zoran will eventually fail because he starts compromising too much like Bernie Sanders Yes probably. But criticizing him this hard now is a tad unfair.

    Compared to all other leaders, including China and Russia, Zohran’s position is actually far more uncompromising right now.







  • . My best guess here is that they’re keeping their goals grounded in terms of what is realistically achievable, relative to their material conditions…

    Well yeah but Zohran kinda does the same here. He’s giving some small platitudes but in policy what it would mean is full on BDS. And Israel will never oblige by any international law similar to Apartheid South Africa. Zohran literally wrote BDS papers.

    What happens in reality instead of equal rights kumbaya is the Apartheid will simply fall apart and most of the colonists will go back to Europe and the US because they don’t get free money anymore to colonize Palestinian land.

    Zohran is not perfect but he’s not Matt Duss or Graham Platner. I don’t see a reason to actively oppose him yet.





  • Zionism by its very definition means not supporting equal rights, because it’s based on Jewish surpremacy. Zohran says he will support sanctions on Israel until it abliges by international law. Which we both know Israel will never do.

    This is giving Israel a condition which we know it will never abide by. It’s like saying “I support China’s right to exist as a neoliberal capitalist country”.


  • Israel is by definition not a state with equal rights. This is a great way to answer the question to statisfy libs while also showing the issue with Israel: their Apartheid. Which is the raison d’etre of Israel as a Jewish ethnostate. Adding the equal rights part means believing Israel doesn’t have a right to exist.


  • Thank you for finding this quote. It’s certainly not a great look. He does specifically condemn the action of killing of civilians. Which is lingo similar to how Europe recently condemned Israeli bombings on Qatar, while not condemning Israel itself but it’s not a great look.

    He has another one where he says he supports Israel’s right to exist, but not as a Jewish state, but as a state with equal rights for everyone. Which in practice means that he doesn’t believe Israel has the right to exist, but it’s a great way to answer the question in a way that satisfies libs.

    That said, I don’t think it’s possible to do anything about the October 7 libs without doing any of this kind of dodgy answering.
