If you still doubt that Israel is not merely a proxy state for western imperialism, then look at what happens when you interfere at the source of the monopoly of violence; As European and British Governments condemn Israel’s strategy of displacement and erasure, calling for an end, they simultaneously arrest those who are actually preventing the slaughter. Whats-more, the more of an impact you have, the more they will crack-down on you, as in my case of the Filton 24, they even went so far as arresting us with the Counter-Terrorism pigs for opposing terrorism. In the case of Palestine Action in general, I saw them become a proscribed terror group in my prison cell.

“Israel is evil” simply isn’t going to shift the balance of forces. A comprehensive understanding of Imperialism and anti-imperialist action will.
Battles can be won without it, but there will always be battles to be fought as long as there is class war.

We need to go into the communities and Serve The People! We need to build bases within the capitalist base and superstructure and from these revolutionary bases we’ll have a revolutionary superstructure that no longer depends on the capitalist one and has a socialist culture. The local communists said it was a waste of money and time. Then my Podcast’s funds couldn’t keep up and shrunk as I put less podcasts out because I was serving the people more. I grew furious and my habits with it.
This pained me because the people in our communities who needed the most help were the lumpen-proletariat, who I wanted to represent. The underclass. The class that’s won most revolutions. You can’t be a worker and engage in revolution - let’s be honest. Your profession must be a professional revolutionary, not a guerrilla fighter part-time and factory worker the rest - now who’s smoking what?

On unions and arms-industry workers, well… As I’ve previously said, workers and their unions organise around getting a bigger piece of the imperialist pie, that’s what they’re best at. I can’t imagine them organising to stop working on a weapons factory that they consciously applied to work for and I know first-hand these places have framed photographs of the weapons they produce all around these sites, they’re proud of the work they do and are violent with protesters, even children. There’s no reasoning with these pigs.
