Michael Parenti wrote about “rational fascism”. Rational fascism contradicts the idea, generally held. that fascism was an act of one-off, uniquely German insanity. Rather, he showed that capitalists supported fascism in order to boost their profitability and to counter working-class politics.

Vasily Grossman on the Russian Revolution:
For me, Life and Fate is a powerful tribute to the working-class... a tribute to the honorable and reasonable ambitions of working-class people... an acknowledgement of our otherwise unacknowledged heroics and intelligence, whether those unseen heroics take place in 1942 Stalingrad or in 2025 Gaza

It’s an account of the terrible everyday challenges facing people simply trying to get on with life during the period of Stalinist treachery and fascist invasion; people struggling to live ordinary and extraordinary lives faced with a ruling elite that acts so cruelly against them. #LifeandFate

These portrayals contribute to a manufactured “working class view” often expressed through fictional stereotypes in television shows and advertisements. An example of such stereotyping is when fictional characters are given (often exaggerated) "working class" accents in advertisements...

In regard to Palestine and Israel, the global divide over the issue is along class lines: working class interests lie with Palestine, capital's interests lie with Israel.

It might be said that SM has highlighted the horrors international capitalism is inflicting on Gazans. But this is not an example of giving the voiceless a voice; social media is profiting from the terrible spectacle, while allowing no solutions. proletarianperspective.substack.com/p/halcyon-da...

Social media has not freed people, it has trapped them. Like other technologies, we become appendages to the machines which are geared towards unceasing profit. It's no different with social media, which requires our unceasing "engagement".

Far from "giving voices to the voiceless", social media creates the illusion we are being heard when we have actually been sidelined.

Zionist discourse often conflates Jewish identity with Israel and Zionism, a rhetorical strategy with antisemitic implications. The act of defining Jewish identity on behalf of all Jews is an antisemitic act ...

Zionism is a big threat to education around the world. Many people may not realise that universities across the world rely on "philanthropic" funding from extremely wealthy donors. Wealthy Zionists are actively organising to stop funding colleges where protests occur:

In the late 90s and early 00s, the US and Israel created enclaves in Jordan and Egypt that can operate free of laws that protect workers: Qualified Industrial Zones. The companies operating there can export tax-free to the United States. The catch? They have to 'include Israeli inputs in production'
