So goddamn frustrated with the white communists who keep coopting the palestine solidarity meetings to either wage little recruitment turf wars (the stalinists) or turn every single point into a plug for their worker's revolution in sweden (the marxists).
The palestinian youth movement people literally Walked Out of the meeting today in frustration. One guy who survived the syrian revolution tried to tell them to stop and why this was not good and they just bulldozed over him. A black woman tried to talk about how as a person of color in sweden she feels like their voices are often suppressed, and this guy kiterally replied that he doesnt think race has anything to do with it. I feel like im in a bad parody.
Tried to talk to the marxists about how we are supposed to be supporting palestinian right to self determination and why you shouldnt show up to a solidarity meeting and alienate the people you claim to support by making it all about you and your ideas, and the most dogmatic of these guys (same one who said race has nothing to do with it) literally said no instead of toning it down he thinks they need to step it up with trying to recruit withing the solidarity umbrella org. Like...
Besides being the kind of contrarian rhetoric style thats the most frustrating (you say tone it down and he says no in fact turn it up), theyre just completely unable to work in an umbrella organization because they cant stop hounding on their socialist revolution long enohgh to build broad solidarity or even focus on the immediate crisis at hand.
This dude is completely convinced that he, personally, will be the vanguard of the revolution and wont stop about how everyone globally needs to implement his methods. Talking about how the palestinians should be centered in the discussion of their own struggle goes completely in one ear and out the other.
I'm so fucking frustrated and dont want peoole to think i'm associated with them its such bad white saviorism and completely dogmatic tunnel vision i wanna punch things
