Youre correct that there was a purge of military in Nazi Era Germany, but beyond that you kind of misunderstand the very collaborationist relationship that the nazis and the existing military industrial apparatus. I would really suggest reading The Economy and Class Structure of German Fascism by Alfred Sohn-Rethel for a little bit of a contextualization of why what you're saying is kinda surface level analysis. Separately I'd recommend Fascism and Social Revolution by R. Palme Dutt.

Hey, Israel is a proxy state for the US. It doesn't control the US that way.

I've read a lot of stuff on the development of the military industrial complex in Germany and fascism's relationship to it both while it was gaining power and had power and I'm not seeing any parallels, could you explain?

Fair enough. There are plenty of cool folks to learn from in both orgs, I just don't think there structure and orientation toward the more advanced sections of the working class really align with historical lessons.

Go join DSA and apply to Red Star or MUG once you have some experience and leadership. Successful struggle generally takes place within mass parties, even if and because the mass parties start off with a lower level of consciousness.

Now is an important time as the national leadership is basically split between relatively cool factions and social democrats with Trots making up deciding votes. The convention is this Summer, and right now the right wing has lost a lot of credibility in the eyes of membership after licking the boot of the unsuccessful kamala campaign. If you want to make a difference in turning the biggest instrument for channeling growing class consciousness back into democrat support into something that genuinely engages in class struggle, now is a critical time to engage.

PSL and FRSO are bad picks. They do not share a structure common with successful revolutions- a smaller demcent vanguard party within a larger mass organization with internal democracy. If you want to recreate the bolsheviks, you need to find your Russian Social Democratic labor party, which means joining other MLs in struggling within DSA.

I'm not gonna rub salt in the wound. Please join a socialist org if you care about resisting fascism.

The US coup where Victoria Nuland is recorded plotting to install the far right government that ended up being installed over the more moderate protest leaders triggered it.

After ww1 there was one socialist country.

After ww2 one third of humans lived in a socialist country.

That number has risen since. Capitalism is slowly making its way off the stage of history.

With all due respect, but if you want to believe the Hamas and other terrorist groups want to fight for “freedom” instead of eradicating the entire Jewish population, discussions with you on this topic are fruitless.

These people are a terrorist caricature one could find in a bad American bush era movie to you, aren't they?

But the goal or “Mission” of the Hamas is to eradicate all jews.

Source that isn't from the 90s when they were a marginal fundamentalist group and not a leading member of a coalition fighting for a secular democracy?
