The real gaslighting is the notion that being a "campist" is something bad. Fuck yes i'm a "campist", i'm a campist for the anti-imperialist camp, for the socialist camp, for the de-colonial camp. It's either that or you side with the camp of empire, fascism and neo-colonialism. There is no "enlightened centrist" third way.

"I don’t believe in neutrality. I believe neutrality is impossible, because the world is already moving in certain directions. Wars are going on. Children are starving. And to be neutral, to pretend to neutrality, to not take a stand in a situation like that, is to collaborate with whatever is going on, to allow it to happen."

Campist is the slightly more left version of tankie. A term used by global north leftists to shame other global north leftists into compliance when they refuse to compromise on anti-imperialism. These days I just wear it as a badge of honor.

At some point, we're going to have to stop splitting, including myself. On one hand, we're entrenched in our positions; on the other, we admit the need to engage with reactionaries. And it can and will be metaphorical ankle weights upon us. And here I've neglected weekly reading because I'm in my feels. 😮‍💨
