Meanwhile White supremacists and Jewish supremacists, who literally hate eachother and want the other dead or enslaved, can get together to beat the shit out of a Palestinian-American man.

In March 2017, Brandon David William Vaughan, a member of the Proud Boys’ Ottawa chapter, took part in the assault on Kamal Nayfeh, a 55-year-old Palestinian-American community college professor, outside the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference in Washington, D.C.; video footage of the incident shows Proud Boys members fighting alongside the Jewish Defense League.

Videos of the assault on Nayfeh show him surrounded by demonstrators wearing jackets of the ultraconservative Jewish Defense League, who strike him with flagpoles carrying American, Israeli and JDL flags.

Smdh my damn head.

    while true that leftist infight a lot, the right most definitely don’t have solidarity with each other, they fight even more, staying true to their ideology, they fiercely compete with each other, plot, backstabbing and so forth, this increases further the farther they are from reason like qanon. the single common point is that they obey and defend capital and when its threatened, they can momentarily join hands to purge the threat.

    the tricky thing with leftist is that we lack this bond, the thing that “holds up” is a world that doesn’t exist.

    Have a well-educated ideological preference (everyone has their own opinion on what is most logical and moral) but understand that if you cling to every word and idea you become a dogmatist because you are no longer analysing but just repeating what someone else has told you.

    We do have alot of infighting but we also have more open discussions that lead to productive changes at least in my opinion.

    tbh I don’t think the left’s problem is lack of solidarity, at least here in the US. If all communist parties here united we’d have like… what, 12 people? The combined total is still irrelevant as a political force. Communist parties are not relevant enough to seriously be concerned about division. That’s not the primary issue; the primary issue is that none of these parties are coming close to reaching the masses at the present moment. When I think of countries where division is a serious issue I think of like, Nepal.

    well, i don’t think that a big group of men beating a man from a minority with some years on his shoulders would be considered as “solidarity” between reactionary groups, sounds more like coward people united against a disadvantaged “threat”.

    i’d think that more white bois going to israel to fight “the good fight” against “islamic terrorism” of hamas, or more aipac people crusading against the "un"deserved death of charlie kirk would be something more akin to that idea of “solidarity”

    If Trump’s revolt on January 6, 2020 had succeeded in keeping Biden out of office, I’ve tried to think of any leftest leader at the time who could have rallied the people into opposition, but I could not come up with one. Even now, with the terrorist attack on Venezuela, there are no millions of feets in the streets or thousands of companies shut down due to a general strike.
