DataWithBangs @datawithbangs.bsky.social · 10hand the ideological struggle is supposed to be tested against practice, test ideas against reality then make corrections as needed to get the results you want (socialism!). thats what makes it "scientific socialism" 021
DataWithBangs @datawithbangs.bsky.social · 10hin Marxism this whole idea is framed as class struggle. the party that wants to represent the working class needs to wage constant internal ideological struggle between ideas to sort out which are in the interest of the working class and which are in the interest of the ruling class. 130

Reposted by DataWithBangsfull slack @fullslack.bsky.social · 01/10/2026If you are “fighting antisemitism” by funding explicitly Zionist institutions dedicated to stopping the pro-Palestine movement, you are actually enabling antisemitism because you’re allowing Zionists to conflate Zionism with Judaism which foments misdirected hostility toward Jews 16816
Reposted by DataWithBangsV. I. Lenin @livinglenin.bsky.social · 02/10/2026In all workers’ parties there inevitably emerges a more or less clearly delineated Right wing which, in its views, tactics, and organisational “line”, reflects the opportunist tendencies of the petty bourgeoisie. 115338
DataWithBangs @datawithbangs.bsky.social · 02/10/2026this reminds me of the "u have 2 brains" thing that came out recently. i read the article and its like, the hind brain and the mid/forebrain are developed from different kinds of cells. like its basically the same stuff but the way they develop is different. is that the same with bones/teeth? 020
DataWithBangs @datawithbangs.bsky.social · 02/10/2026"anti-semitism" is obviously historically more real than "anti-white racism" and Jews have obviously historically been systemically oppressed. but i don't think you can claim that anymore when you have all the forces of imperialism backing your explicitly Jewish supremacist state doing a genocide. 010

Reposted by DataWithBangsplay by post @playbypost.bsky.social · 01/10/2026For a concrete example because I'm being vague: Mamdani pledged $10m to fight deed theft in NYC which is a huge issue for long term black residents/families specifically as they're frequently targeted. He's only given 5% of that, but scrounged $26m for this. 1142
Reposted by DataWithBangsplay by post @playbypost.bsky.social · 01/10/2026A LOT of POC in the NYC political sphere are basically seeing him give cops and white people money before them, and groups that actively despise him and won't even praise him for giving them the money. 1102
Reposted by DataWithBangsplay by post @playbypost.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The JCRC is a group pushing the idea legally (and successfully in many places) that any representation of palestinian identity (and I do mean any) is an antisemitic hate crime and should result in expulsion. They also organize free tours to Israel for electeds: www.jcrcny.org/what-we-do/i...jcrcny.orgIsrael & International Affairs - Jewish Community Relations Council 1152
Reposted by DataWithBangsplay by post @playbypost.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Apparently part of the $26m goes to the JCRC AS WELL as the NYPD lol. I think people are sleeping on this action and its implications because of the spectacle of incredibly racist podcasters on twitter and the cult of personality behind Mamdani. 3216

DataWithBangs @datawithbangs.bsky.social · 30/09/2026the favorite trick of liberal zionists is to deflect any criticism of them by saying its antisemitic. the reason it works is there are always actual unrelated nazis they can screenshot and use as "proof". but that doesn't change the fact they care more about jewish feelings than palestinian lives. 140
