I always decline. I am an American citizen so there seems to be no immediate consequences to declining so far. For now.

I rarely use reddit as it is but I'll be damned if I gotta scan my eye to use it, LMFAO. What kind of goober would do that? I'd log off of it forever.

Illiteracy is on the rise in the USA. This reads to me like a person who just has difficulties writing, it feels very stream of consciousness.

This would end up being used to track workers and punish those who aren't hitting their mental workload quota for the day, like that eBay worker who got fired for being away from the screen for 4 minutes.

Not all of us do. Not all of us stand for genocide. There are lots of us speaking up, but the media does not elevate our voices. And when they do, people drown us out and call us fake Jews or self-hating jews for not supporting genocide.

There is a concentrated effort to manufacture consent and drown out the Jewish anti Zionist movement. Israel itself is dependent on propagating antisemitism to make Jews feel unsafe so that they move there and keep settler colonialism alive. By falsely tying Judaism and the Jewish people to Zionism, their goal is furthered. Those of us that denounce Zionism do not at all let Israel represent us.

My circles tend to be very anti Lenin or anti Stalin, most of them are anarchists or left leaning people who have a pretty strong opposition to MLs. I would like to have a dialogue with them or least give them some tools so that they can have a good background with which to critique ML even if they don't change their mind and become MLs.

Bonus if it includes info about the Bund in relation to Lenin & the Bolsheviks or information about Jews in the Soviet Union or ML Jews in general - most of us are Jewish, and a lot of strong opposition is rooted in the Jewish experience of those eras and strong emotional and ideological affinity to the legacy of the Bund.

These don't quite cover the Jewish experience as much but, some books or articles top of my mind for at least countering anticommunism are:

  • Western Marxism Loves Purity and Martyrdom, But Not Real Revolution
  • Blackshirts and Reds

Would love to hear yalls thoughts.
