Yeah definitely a embarrassing comment on my part. I definitely knew that somewhere that Hamas is Sunni but wrote shia. Deleted my comment because it was not useful.

Still curious about Salafist beliefs and sympathies in Gaza though, if anyone knows of trustworthy resources for such info.

The last one would be kinda cute in some parallel world where it was someone who loved cows and was hanging with his cow buddies. I can't imagine a political situation for it to be cute in but it's kinda cute

Ah shit just noticed the money.

To anyone seeing this kid for the first time, he's pretty shitty person. Still young so I'm not gonna be too harsh, but the videos on the channel have tons of right wing bullshit and mocking of anything vaguely left wing. The footage is fine here though, because he's just trying to chase fights and happens to be showing something useful. Just don't go looking deeper into the content

On number 5, I was attempting to look at the lyrics and compare to something, but it was so hard to find any text for what the chant (a known chant in Israël) is. The only thing I could find and confirm from the vid6e was Mawat laAravim which is "kill the Arabs" (but they changed the work "kill" to "fuck" which I don't know) Anyone have a longer text of it?

Not native but I could understand it fine without subtitles. Terrible at accents, though I definitely heard some heavy American sounding things. But I know 0 people from Puerto Rico so maybe that's just how people there talk, for all I know.

It definitely sounds like the title that the BBC would give if they dared talk about it, to be fair to you.

'"do your own Marxist analysis" then read Marxists? My question is, why would I do that instead of reading and critiquing Marxist analyses? Not everyone has to reinvent every wheel. I can look critically, it's not like this is my first Marxist analysis. I'm gonna read and put more trust in the PFLP than anyone on Palestine, too.

If there is no good analysis, then of course. That's the information I hoped someone would give: is there a good analysis somewhere? I'd rather learn and apply than have to create my own position on Sudan. It's the purpose of parties really. But no party I affiliate with has said anything, and maybe, as you insinuate, there is no good analysis.

I'll read some on socialist Sudan; I know little outside of what I already mentioned and the writings of the Communist Party of Kenya. You seem to disagree with them, if I'm understanding right.

Would you then like to set me on a correct path? What can I read? Everything I look into seems to be shitty analyses every time, lacking any materialist bases, which gets me nowhere. That frustration was the start of this, though I didn't communicate it well.

My best bases is reading Nkrumah and Rodney, but I feel like those don't help too much with the current conflict

Trying to self-crit right now, is the problem that I'm wanting a position to just adopt? Because that's not my intention, I was hoping to get some links to good Marxist critiques/party positions to learn more.

What's the point of having a group of like-minded people except to not learn everything on your own? Maybe my question is not worded well, and I will also take your critique seriously, in that I should investigate further.

But why would I begin by nothing? This is my first real moment of thinking I maybe have some time to learn something about it. I'm going to begin with a basis among comrades, look for resources from communists (and look, another comrade gave that knowledge about a communist party, though I will have to search further on my own).

Maybe it does show some "white leftist" attitude that I should critique, but don't act like there's not enough that I've been trying to learn and apply these past years. I didn't want a fully digested take, I wanted to know what Marxists has said about the positions.
