Good article, although there is an error in saying that this Nouveau Communiste movement has anything to do with the working classes. The working class and the Far Left mostly seem to mutually revile each other. Look at any Pew Research pole on the topic and you'll see that the "Progressive" Left is by far wealthier than pretty much everyone else. It's roughly 6% of the voting population, with approximately 2 out of 3 being white, so People of Color are slightly underrepresented compared to the population of the country, despite what they would like everyone to believe. Progressives also seem to feel that a focus on class is a disguise for and therefore a perpetuation of (their definition of) white supremacy because it takes the focus off of race.
This is all part of the latest fashion. And that is just as ludicrous as it sounds. I dropped off my kid at a friend's house yesterday, and the mother was wearing a Palestinian prayer shawl. She said that she will not take it off until Palestine has been liberated. Let me reiterate, she was wearing it in her own house where it will have no visible impact, except, possibly, with her own children. Prayer shawls as protest/fashion material for someone who is NOT Palestinian.
Thanks for the article. I didn't know about the relationship between the kalediscope of communism/socialism causes and the pro-palestinian movement. I hope it's just a trend. The only thing this country hates more than terrorists is communists.
Great article, thorough research, scary facts. Especially scary for someone like me and many others who came from a country where the words "imperialism," "zionism," capitalism" were swear words, and where, if someone were accused of any of those "isms," could lose their life or rot in Gulag. Sickening what this country came to. At least in Germany they have learned their lessons well. There is a law against antisemitism there, it's illegal. Here we are under the spell of the radical left and the language they are trying to change, or already have, into the language of gaslighting.
Thank you, Emily, for your steadfast stand and brave attempts to change the situation in the US, where, if an affair similar to the Dreifus affair were to happen now, who knows how many years it would have taken to amend that.
I just heard on the "Week in Review" on KUOW, that there will be some arrests coming for the organizers of that public menace on I5. Let's hope we are still the country of the rule of law.
