🇵🇸Hundreds of PSL members traveled from all across the country for the National March for Palestine in Washington DC, and while this powerful demonstration has concluded, the fight to stop Trump and Netanyahu’s new stage in the genocide is just beginning!

We’re returning to our cities more energized than ever to fight for an arms embargo, an end to the repression against the students, and a free Palestine from the river to the sea!

    Reading about operation gladio def makes me paranoid about what America would look like if a communist party ever became a threat. The cope I have is that:

    1. The current far right don’t know what an actual socialist is. They think liberals are socialists.
    2. The defunding of state institutions means less funds for undercover operations. Though I suppose they could be delegated to the police, which would be less organized and subtle

    I think I would be more afraid of a purging of communists under Biden than Trump

      Normal cops are not capable of usefully infiltrating PSL. Our vetting is thorough, expectations for commitment are high, and our democratic centralism is impossible for a single shithead to derail - you’ll just get booted if you always gum up the works. And the amount of time you’d need to be in to get any useful secret intel beyond “wow these communists sure have a lot of planning meetings and public events” is literally years. We have worked very hard to build a hard organization and actively study the tactics of COINTELPRO and other state disruptive strategies.

        This is really hopeful to hear bloomer

      Became a threat again.

      Because the black panthers were enough of a threat to jail and murder a bunch. Similarly they put CPA leaders in prison during the red scare. And before that killing and arresting various IWW leaders.
