Normally I’d agree but patriotism for a genocidal settler colonial state is inherently reactionary, and that’s what these people are. These people are trying to appeal to reactionaries and “patriots” by engaging in tailism, and that’s why they’re dangerous to any real revolutionary movement.
This is why I never could get behind Midwestern Marx, or for that matter anyone on RBN who sounded the same way (think it was CJ who was complaining about how his linking up with brownshirts that way was being seen bout a year back or so; and that channel was how I even learned MM was a thing). There is nothing Here for community to be proud of. This is a nation of slavemasters who won’t give us what they’ve owed since antiquity; why the black-and-red-fuck would we ever uplift the stars and bars? Tailism is correct.
Facts, and I’ve been asking it since I became conscious: what exactly do we have to be proud of? Every time someone tries to explain it, it’s always the same vague platitudes of freedom and being the great country in the world…like freedom from what? Best in the world in what? This whole joint was built on the backs of our ancestors and paid for with their blood, and we are the subjects of the empire.
I’ve never considered myself to be Amerikan and I never will, and it’s why I consider anyone patriotic to be an opp.
