    To answer your point about Israel, the state is a fascist ethno state that is actively conducting mass genocide and colonial settlerism. Therein, Israel is considered a lost cause because any who proport to fight for the cause directly uphold the tenets of Zionist philosophy because there is no room in Israel for anyone else. In the example of the United States, the social dynamics of the country bind together the fates of millions of individuals belonging to several disparate groups not belonging to the hegemon. Sadly, this is a result of the successful settlerism of the nation and the successful elimination of clear lines delineating oppressed from oppressor. So when one begs for “westoids” to be punished for generations, one imagines this ideal suburbanite white appearing person, while in reality you are likewise wishing for millions of subjugated black, native, lgbt, immigrant, and other such individuals to suffer without cause or reason. This line of thinking only alienates the global proletariat from one another and aids in maintaining the antagonistic relationship bred within the proletariat consciousness by capital interests.

    Reducing the problem to “Westoids” and a lack of a moral compass also ignores the active role of the capitalist base in maintaining the current status quo. To that end, Malcom was calling for Marxist to develop and act as the moral compass of the West, not cast the entirety of the proletariat aside for the sins of their capitalist masters.

      i guess i can understand that but i feel that negates the real impact westoids have by benefitting from imperialism is the problem

      why not target the white part of the westoids then? i feel we have the least chances of being rehabilitated, and the west needs to pay for what we’ve done in some way or another imo
