I am crudely paraphrasing from this awesome article from November 2023.

"War" (in this case, genocide) guarantees accumulation at two ends:

First, and more obviously, Western capitalists stand to gain billions of dollars via the production, sale, and consumption of military and surveillance technology which are being unleashed across West Asia.

Second, "war" is designed to devalue land and people. Reducing the price of land, labour, and other resources increases profits and accelerates accumulation. Taking over Gaza means that Western capital can freely exploit the productive capacity of the land (including the billions of dollars worth of oil that israel blocks Gazans from accessing) and people (including the >1 million Gazans confined to unemployment by israel's blockade).

And of course, the genocide of Gaza sends a priceless signal to the rest of the world: Resist US imperialism and cease to exist. Conversely, a Palestinian victory over zionism and the US-israeli genocide proves that America can lose, and therefore, that the Global South can win.

illegal-to-say

So Trump signing “deals” like this is just a more evil and depraved version of Biden allegedly getting “mad” at Satanyahu

It was easy for me to forget how poor Yemen is when Ansar Allah was fearlessly bleeding the US military of billions of USD, holding the Red Sea blockade, and terrorizing the zionist regime directly.

Yemeni Resistance is cool as fuck and absolutely worth celebrating, but the US-israeli bombing campaigns have probably inflicted a much more difficult cost to bear on Yemeni society, which was already in a dire economic state. Yemeni GDP per capita is like $500 USD.

Real "pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will" hours inside-im-crying

it would be truly jokerfying if libs coopt AES and it becomes a colloquial term to refer to "actually effective socialists" like AOC and Bernie
